'Being introduced to Herbalife was the best thing that happened to me!'

2011-01-25T17:07:00.003Z

"I was a busy single mother working long hours, but Herbalife products have helped me restore my vitality. Being introduced to Herbalife is the best thing that ever happened to me!" Sonja Hoch

I was introduced to Herbalife seven years ago in a playground. At the time I was self-employed running a shoe store and working 12-14 hours a day. Physically I was in bad shape, suffering from chronic fatigue and stress. However, I started to use Herbalife products and within 4 weeks I noticed my vitality was restored. The products also helped to reshape my body as I dropped 2 dress sizes! My son also experienced impressive results after using the products.

I began with using Formula 1 shakes, Formula 2 Multivitamin Complex and Herbal Complex. Later I added Thermo Complete tablets and today I use all of the inner and outer nutrition products!

In June 2003 I closed the shoe shop and started working as a Herbalife Distributor on a full time basis. As a single parent I am able to enjoy life again. I now have more time to spend with my children and I enjoy the financial security and job prospects that I missed out on before. Most of all, I have fun working my Herbalife business and I am proud to be a Herbalife Distributor.

Herbalife Niteworks

Press Release on the results from study of the effects of arginine supplements of cyclist perfornace by the International Society of Sport Nutrition. When cyclists over 50 given arginine supplements for 3 week period, performance was significantly enhanced. This is because their anaerobic threshold was increased, the point at which they start to accumulate lactic acid in the blood, leading to fatigue. As people age their anaerobic htreshold decreases as nitric acid production slows. The arginine supplement improves nitric oxide production with side effect of improving performance and vascular system. With the implication that the addition of arginine to diet as we age could improve health and wellbeing.

The study was directed by Dr Luigi Gratton with half participants receiving the arginine supplement as Herbalife Niteworks food supplement and the others receiving a placebo. Herbalife Niteworks proven effective in clinical studies by International Society of Sport Nutrition.

Weight Loss UK Online - What a choice?

2009-07-17T11:37:00.000+01:00

Google the phrase Weight Loss UK Online and you will get over 19 million sites to look at - so the question is where do you start?

If you want to lose weight, you want to satisfy a few points when choosing a weight loss program:

is it safe?
is it easy to follow?
do you need to start counting calories everyday?
do you need to start counting points everyday?
do you need to buy lots of new sorts of foods?
can you still eat with your family?
can you stick to the program at work?
is it a reliable weight loss program?
can you get your questions answered?

To Lose Weight your body has to use more calories than you eat every single day.
Women normally need fewer calories than men. And the number of calories your body uses depends on the lifestyle you lead.
Just read these figures below to see how this works:
For active people: 120lbs woman needs 2640 calories / day.
150lbs man needs 3600 calories / day.
For sedentary people: 120lbs woman needs 1680 calories / day - 1000 calories less.
150lbs man needs 2100 calories / day - 1500 calories less.
So if you've got an active friend that always seems to eat alot but not gain weight - this is why they can eat more because they burn more calories.
So for Weight Loss you need to reduce calorie intake and if possible increase your activity so you use more calories each day.
Now not many people want to work out their calories everyday. Most people want a simpler solution to Weight Loss UK that is reliable and safe.

How Healthy was Your Breakfast Today? Easy Healthy Nutrition Shakes for Breakfast

2009-07-15T15:08:00.000+01:00

Breakfast is the neglected meal of the day - often rushed or skipped.

But yet Breakfast is the most important meal of the day as it provides your body with the nutrition and fuel to kick start your day and lays the foundation for lifelong health benefits. Breakfast provides energy to make it through the day and keeps our metabolism high as well. It’s easy to skip breakfast when you are in a rush: walk the dog, get the kids ready for school, feed the cat, iron the blouse we’re planning on wearing to the office etc. Often making a healthy breakfast just doesn’t seem to fit in a lot of times.
So many people opt for these as breakfast options, they are just loading themselves with empty calories with not much nutritional value that could just turn into body fat:

Sugary or carb-filled: Pancakes, waffles, toast, donuts, pastries, scones, bagels, pies, sugar cereals, breakfast bars, muffins (which, let’s face it, are usually just cake). Carbs are OK but the problem with many breakfasts is that they are low in fat and protein, and nothing but empty carb calories. Carbs start your day with a high blood-sugar level, which will result in emmission of insulin; the insulin removes sugar from blood, turning it's excess into fat. The result very shortly is low blood sugar levels, which results in cravings for more carbs. You’ll be on a roller-coaster blood-sugar ride all day as this cycle repeats itself 2-3 times during the day and is a major cause for diabetes, high blood pressure and extra weight.
Fatty. Fried eggs, sausages, bacon, cream cheese on your bagels, cheesy omelettes, Egg McMuffins, Sausage McMuffins, hash browns, anything English or Scottish. Too much fat means excess calories and sure weight gain.

Some people skip breakfast because they sleep too late or because they think it's a way to stay thin. But skipping breakfast doesn't help people maintain a healthy weight. In fact, someone who skips breakfast tends to eat more calories throughout the day as your blood sugar levels drop below normal level and you experience cravings and a drop in energy. Chances are you'll revert to simple carbs to achieve quick surge of blood sugar to overcome drop in energy and hunger. Simple carbs will cause an immediate surge of blood sugar levels and substantial insulin emmission, which turns the sugar into fat and the cycle repeat itself during the day a few times, as explained above in the too-sugary or carb example of a breakfast.

A healthy breakfast should consist of a variety of foods, for example, whole grains, low-fat protein or dairy sources, and fruit. This provides complex carbohydrates, protein and a small amount of fat — a combination that delays hunger symptoms for hours. So your morning meal doesn't have to mean loading up on sugar, fat and cholesterol. Making nutritious breakfast choices can set you up for healthier eating all day long.

If there was a way to have an easy healthy breakfast - would you do it? Choose one item from 3 of the following 4 food groups:

Fruits and vegetables: Fresh fruits and vegetables, 100 percent juice without added sugar.
Grains: Whole-grain rolls, hot or cold whole-grain cereals high in fibre.
Dairy: Skim milk, low-fat yogurt cups or low-fat cheeses, such as cottage and natural cheeses.
Protein: Hard-boiled eggs, cottage cheese, lean slices of meat and poultry, or fish, such as water-packed tuna or slices of salmon.

People who eat a healthy breakfast are more likely to:
- Eat more vitamins and minerals and less fat and cholesterol.
- Have better concentration and productivity throughout the morning.
- Control their weight.
- Have lower cholesterol, which reduces the risk of heart disease.
Breakfast is especially important for children and adolescents, those who eat a healthy breakfast are more likely to have better concentration, problem-solving skills and eye-hand coordination. Plus they may also be more alert, creative and less likely to miss days of school.
Our bodies have over 100 trillion cells which demand 114 different nutrients every single day that provide energy and nutrition and nourishment to our body. Plus water.
There are 4 criteria of a good, healthy breakfast:

Provide body with all vital nutrients to rebuild the body.
Provides the body with energy in terms of protein and complex carbs to help body burn the calories and sugar.
Provides the body with water, a couple of glasses before and a couple after breakfast.
Helps to maintain a normal blood sugar levels.
Balanced protein breakfast supplies our body with all vital nutrients without increasing blood sugar or insulin levels.
Reduces cravings for carbs during the day.
Controls apetite, cravings for carbs diminish and the body uses stored fat to get energy.

Herbalife's Formula 1 Nutrition Healthy Shake is an easy way to satisfy all these points and will feed your body with ALL the nutrients needed for good health and that would be difficult to achieve with any other regular breakfast, unless you eat 1000 calorie and nutrient packed breakfast of eggs and wholegrains and fruit and veg, etc.
Herbalife's meal replacement shake is not only a balanced, low calorie meal, but also a healthy shake that is a quick and easy option that can be prepared the night before or on the spot - it takes a couple of minutes only...Just pour some semi-skimmed or soya milk in your blender, add any of six delicious flavours of Formula 1 Nutritional shake mix, and you can even add fresh or frozen fruit, if you like. Blend it well for a lovely, frothy texture and enjoy on it's own or preferably with Formula 2.

Can taking a multi vitamin extend life?

2009-05-30T11:43:00.000+01:00

ref 'Can taking a multivitamin extend life?' Los Angeles Times, May 29, 2009

Telomeres are the DNA sequences at the end of chromosomes, these shorten as we age and it is thought that the reason for telomeres shortening may be an important key to longevity. When cells replicate, telomeres shorten. So, preserving the length of telomeres is thought to be a possible key to living longer. Do you need supplements?

A study in the new issue of the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition found that people who take multi vitamin supplements daily had telomeres that were 5.1% longer, on average, than non-vitamin users. The researchers, from the National Institutes of Health, looked at multivitamin use and nutrient intake, as well as telomere length, in 586 women ages 35 to 74. They also found a link between telomere length and intake of vitamins C and E.
How multivitamin supplements may affect telomeres is not known. But studies have shown that telomeres are vulnerable to oxidative stress, and some vitamins are antioxidants which can neutralise oxidative stresses. But more research is needed to find out whether multi vitamin supplements could really impact telomere length.
Dr. Honglei Chen, of the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, wrote in the report "To our knowledge, this was the first epidemiological study of multivitamin use and telomere length. Regular multivitamin supplement users tend to follow a healthy lifestyle and have a higher intake of micronutrients, which sometimes makes it difficult to interpret epidemiological observations in multivitamin use." But added, "the results are consistent with experimental findings that vitamins C and E protect telomeres in vitro."

Lack of vitamin D may cause health risk to millions

2009-05-26T11:06:00.000+01:00

ref "Millions face serious health risks over lack of vitamin D in diets" Daily Mail 16 May 2009

A recent report says that millions are at risk of developing serious health problems because of poor vitamin D levels, citing only 1 in 4 people eating enough foods rich in vitamin D. Vitamin D can help stave off cancer, heart disease, diabetes and bone thinning. And obesity is making the situation worse as the vitamin becomes trapped in fat deposits.
The report reviewed data from 170,000 patients and found that the consumption of vitamin D rich foods had dropped, such as oily fish, eggs and butter spreads. EU recommendations are for daily vitamin D intake of 5 micrograms for 12 - 70 years age group.
Normally 90% of the bodys vitamin D comes from sunlight, but over exposure can trigger skin cancer.

An alternative source of vitamin D is from from supplements, such as Herbalife herbal supplements with 33% RDA in Formula 2, 25% RDA in Formula 1 shakes, 8% RDA in XtraCal calcium supplement.

Anything from listening to loud noise to losing your car keys can increase blood pressure and send stress chemicals racing around your body as you try to adapt. This then dauses depleted energy, increased free radical production and may lead to stress related health problems.

Achieving a healthy active lifestyle is easy but you need to commit to making a few long term lifestyle changes:
* keep physically acctive with at least 30 minutes of moderate intensity activity each day, even a brisk walk or gardening counts.

* stay hydrated with at least 2 litres of water each day.
* aim to provide your body with a range of nutrients by consuming a balanced healthy diet which includes at least 5 servings of fruit and vegetables each day. Aim to reduce levels of saturated fat and salt in your diet and opt for high fibre foods wherever possible.

Maxim tells of his healthy weight gain

2007-05-07T18:41:00.000+01:00

When I was 18, I suddenly noticed that I became very tired easily. It was very strange, as I had more than a normal rest: 16 hours out of 24. I couldn’t imagine what was wrong.
Then I got on a scale and saw that my weight had dropped from 65 to 60 kg. My first thought was, “I don’t eat enough, that’s why I am tired”. I started eating a lot, sometimes I ate so much that it took me 15 minutes just to get away from the table. I constantly ate a lot, and managed to gain 3 kg. When I lost weight, I was very depressed: I didn’t want to go out, I was easily irritated, was nervous all the time and devoured a lot of food.
But my weight continued to drop. In 18 months I went from 63 to 52 kg (and my height is 170 cm). It was awful! I looked like a ghost. I was permanently sleepy and during the first part of the day could never concentrate. Even a small gust of wind took me flowing like a balloon. I could not find a job: my looks made people shy away from me.
But then I got lucky. I met someone that told me about Herbalife Gain Weight UK diets. Not for a single moment was I doubtful about these Herbalife weight gain diets products, as my mother had used them some time ago and got wonderful results.In the first three months I easily gained 10 kg, and the following year – another 8 kg.
Today I feel fantastic. My weight is stable – 67-69 kg. I am very energetic.
But the main thing is that I am back to a normal life and feel a full-fledged personality!

The Facts on Fats

2007-03-12T15:26:00.000Z

Though you may have been taught the opposite, fat can actually be good for you.
In fact, there are healthy fats and unhealthy fats–and knowing the difference is essential to your health. Below is an easy-to-use guide that will help you understand the differences between fats.
1. UNSATURATED FATS (Monounsaturated and Polyunsaturated)
Monounsaturated Fats : are liquid at room temperature but firm up when cooled in the refrigerator. They are generally considered healthier fats and are found mainly in plant sources such as nuts and avocados, as well as olive, peanut and canola oils. Like all fats, monosaturated fats are high in calories. If you increase the amount of monosaturated fats in your diet, be mindful of your overall intake in order to manage your weight.

Polyunsaturated Fats : can be either liquid or soft at room temperature, and are found in plant oils such as safflower, sunflower, corn, flaxseed and canola oils, as well as in seafood. Polyunsaturated fats include the Essential Fatty Acids (EFAs) Omega-3, Omega-6 and Omega-9. In addition to providing energy, EFAs are part of the structure of every cell in our bodies. We need EFAs to achieve & maintain a healthy heart; they are also essential for the healthy function of the brain, eyes, skin, joints, hair and the immune system. To supplement your intake of health-promoting Omega-3, try Herbalifeline omega 3 fish oil supplement. Keep in mind that polyunsaturated fats are also high in calories. If you increase the amount of polyunsaturated fats in your diet, be mindful of your overall intake in order to manage your weight. Herbalife herbalifeline fish oil capsules for source of omega 3.

2. SATURATED FATS
Saturated fat is solid at room temperature and is most often found in animal food products including milk, eggs, meat and butter. Some plant products like palm, coconut and palm kernel oil are also saturated. Saturated fats are not inherently unhealthy, but an excess of these fats in the diet raises cholesterol levels in the bloodstream.

3. TRANS FATS
Trans fats are chemically engineered, with a metal catalyst like nickel, at very high temperatures. Although some may look liquid, they maintain their structure for long periods of time (which is why fast food chains can fry food in the same oil all day long). The FDA suggests regulating your trans fat intake and to replace them with monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats whenever possible. New label laws require companies to list amounts of trans fats on their product labels.

Quick tips re all FATS:
Increase the amount of Omega-3 fatty acids in your diet.
Limit your intake of saturated fats.
Regulate your intake of Trans Fats and make sure to read labels.

1) Soy protein helps you feel fuller longer.Recent medical studies show soy protein helps you feel less hungry, and helps you feel fuller longer. Eating soy protein may work by causing your stomach to send an “I’m full” messages to your brain. This helps reduce the urge to snack between meals and late at night - two major causes of weight gain.
2) Soy protein is “low-carb.”Soybeans are the only vegetable that contain more protein than carbs. As a naturally low-carb food, soy protein is the perfect supplement to any weight loss plan, including popular “low-carb” and “high-protein” diets.
3) Soy protein has a ”low-glycemic index.” Not only is Herbalife protein powder protein supplement low in carbs and fat, but it also has a low glycemic index low GI diet which means it won't cause a rapid rise in blood sugar levels after consumption.
4) Soy protein powder Herbalife is a complete protein. Soy protein is the only plant protein that is a complete protein, which means it contains all 9 essential amino acids in the right balance to meet your body’s needs. This means you get the highest quality protein available, with less fat and fewer calories than most meats. And, you don’t have to worry about genetic modifications because the soy protein in Herbalife soya protein powder is from genetically-pure soybeans (i.e. non-genetically modified or “non-GMO”).

What our bodies need to work properly

2006-10-04T11:38:00.000+01:00

Our bodies actually need 950 different nutrients to function correctly. Luckily humans are very cleverly designed so we can make 900 of these nutrients ourselves as long as we are feeding our bodies what they need. And its these 50 nutrients that we need to eat that are the key to good nutrition for health and good wellness programs nutrition. Nutrition essentials that everybody needs, as defined by the food standards agency.
To have a healthy diet, most people should be eating:
- more fruit and veg : 5 portions a day.
- more starchy foods such as rice, bread, pasta (try to choose wholegrain varieties when you can) and potatoes
- less fat but even more important than reucing fat is to try to replace the saturated fat we eat with unsaturated fat
- less salt
- less sugar
- some protein-rich foods such as meat, fish, eggs and pulses.
- plenty of water: at least 2 litres per day.
And just as these nutrients are important, its also important to eat a variety of foods to make sure we get all the nutrients our bodies need for a nutrition wellness program.

Herbalife and children’s charity NCH join forces

2006-09-08T19:12:00.000+01:00

London Leading children’s charity NCH has partnered with wellness experts Herbalife to establish a pilot programme in the UK designed to educate young carers about the importance of good nutrition, wellness foods and healthy eating.
Herbalife is funding a nutrition plan that will give young carers in the Hackney area of East London access to regular cooked meals as well as education and advice about shopping for food, cooking and nutrition.
Acknowledging the vital role good nutrition can play in the lives of these young carers, Herbalife, one of the world’s leading providers of healthy living products, has teamed up with NCH to establish a Healthy Eating Project for young carers at NCH’s Hackney Young Carers. The project will provide healthy cooked meals for the children on a regular basis, as well as giving them advice on the kind of foods and meals they can prepare simply at home.
Vera Beining, project manager at NCH’s Hackney Young Carers said: “Our young carers have so much responsibility and so much to accomplish in a day that food shopping and cooking is often not a high priority. They also don’t know much about nutrition so their diet and the family diet can be very poor. This combined with lack of exercise, can also lead to problems with weight.
“This project is practical in that it will provide good, nutritious food for these youngsters. It is also educational and social. Young carers can mix with others in a similar situation and get away from their day-to-day pressures for a while. It allows them to be children and make new friends.”
Hackney is one of the most deprived boroughs in London and NCH’s Hackney Young Carers Centre was established in 1998. There are currently 150 young carers aged between 5-18 years of age who attend the project.
It is estimated there are currently 175,000 young carers in the UK. These are children and young people under the age of 18 who care for a member of their family or household. That person may have a physical illness, a physical or learning disability, a mental health problem, be elderly and frail, or be suffering from drug or alcohol misuse. Young carers take on enormous responsibility, often forsaking their own childhood and schooling in order to do so. Although they have some state support they are, in effect, the head of the family, responsible for all the main caring functions within the family unit.
Herbalife is partnering with NCH as part of its Casa Herbalife programme. The Casa Herbalife programme was established to support the concept of good nutrition for children and young people. The company now supports a total of 12 projects around the world.
Neil Spiers, Vice President, North Region said: “This nutrition plan puts a healthy cooked meal at its centre which underlines our commitment as a company to good nutrition for everyone. It also enables these young people to have fun in a learning environment. We are very excited to be backing what is a pilot project in the UK for NCH and applaud the charity’s proactivity in recognizing the vital role of good nutrition in everyone’s lives.”
Both Herbalife and their staff in the EMEA headquarters in Uxbridge will be engaging in fundraising activities throughout the year.

Few take steps to Control Weight

2006-07-26T12:05:00.000+01:00

Only 23 Percent of Americans Take Necessary Steps to Control Weight

Though half of Americans say they're trying to control their weight, only 23% are taking 2 important steps to getting there: watching what they eat AND getting exercise.
Experts recommend:
reducing calorie intake
60 mins of vigorous exercise on most days of the week.

However, data on 4,300 adults from the 2001-2002 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey found that:
51% say they tried to either lose or maintain their weight in the previous 12 months.
74% of those who are trying to lose say they ate less food or switched to lower-calorie foods.
Exercise for those trying to maintain weight was 180 mins.
but for those trying to lose weight was 135 mins a week of physical activity.

First calorie intake must be reduced to 1000-1500 cals / day to reduce weight, an easy way of calorie control are meal replacements Formula 1 nutrition shake/ smoothie instead of a meal. Such meal replacement shakes can control calorie intake plus easy fast food.
Second if you are not exercising, you are giving up one of the most essential steps to optimal health. Just aim to do more than you normally do, week 1 do more than previous week, week 2 do more than week 1 etc, gradually increasing your exercise at whatever level you can.

A word of warning to anyone thinking of taking drastic action to lose weight.....

2006-07-25T19:53:00.000+01:00

Almost Half of Weight-Loss Surgery Patients Suffer Serious Complications
It's already known that gastric bypass and other bariatric surgeries for weight loss carry deadly risks, but what was perhaps not known was just how common these risks were.
A new US government report has found that for bariatric surgeries:22% of patients in hospital had complications
but 44% of discharged patients had complications during the 1st 6 months.
That means that 4 in 10 people who have the surgery develop complications.
Among the most common complications were:
Dumping syndrome, which involves vomiting, reflux and diarrhea
Complications resulting from the surgical joining of the intestine and stomach
Abdominal hernias
Infections and pneumonia
A patient with complications not only has to deal with the health issues, but also the costs. Costs averaged $36,542 for obesity surgery patients who had complications in the six months after surgery, and for those who had to be readmitted to the hospital as a result, costs averaged over $65,000.
Needless to say, I am not an advocate of this procedure, especially considering that far more effective, less expensive healthy weight loss programmes options that exist .

So there is no 'instant, painfree way' to lose weight such as weight loss programs such as Herbalife supplements....

Protein Nutrition Required for healthy Diet....add more protein into your diet to reduce your fat
We need protein in our diet to stay strong and healthy. If we don't eat enough our bodies will steal it from our muscles and organs. In fact, protein is essential for the development of our muscles, which lead to an increase in the burning of calories. Our muscles could be described as fat furnaces as they keep our metabolism running high.
Too many fast releasing carbohydrates lead to weight gain
Traditionally we were taught that carbohydrates should provide our body with its primary supply of energy. However, many people have confused fast releasing carbohydrates (pasta, cakes) and slow releasing carbohydrates (whole grains, vegetables) eating too many of the former-the tempting, convenient, tasty variety! Most of us lead sedentary lives, so any excess energy from carbohydrate-rich food) is stored as fat

How much protein do I need?
Women need 100g of protein per day : Men need 150g protein in diet per day

How can I easily make sure I get the right protein?
If you tried to get all the protein you need from foods such as meats, you would consume too many calories, because these protein rich foods come with extra fat calories.Protein-enriched meal replacement shakes, Protein powder protein Supplement and High Protein Low Carbohydrate snack products, contain protein sources which are easily absorbed and assimilated, and which allow you to reach your body's protein requirements without those unwanted calories. Protein powder supplement is particularly versatile - and can be added to sauces, soups, stews etc for added protein.
Easy and convenient good nutrition programme to follow, so will fit into a busy lifestyle. For example, easy to take a shake for breakfast (in milk or juice or yoghurt) to help balance blood sugar levels, rather than skip breakfast altogether.
Its fast food good nutrition for smart people!

Until the next time.....

How to lose weight for summer? and for ever?

2006-07-24T13:20:00.000+01:00

How to lose weight in time for summer? ...........
And to find a long term solution for weight control?
Fasting, living on lettuce leaves, or excluding entire food groups won't cut it in the long run, because it's just too hard. And the slowed metabolism, bingeing, and self-recrimination that follow can make a weight problem even worse. Losing weight and shaping up for good depends on making some serious (but not unpleasant!) lifestyle changes:
Eat a good nutrition diet - First and foremost, the daily food plan should provide all the nutrients the body needs to thrive, including plenty of protein, at least five servings of fruits and vegetables, 25-30 grams of fiber and 8 glasses of water.
Spread out daily food intake - Eating 3 meals and 2-3 snacks each day is key, as skipping meals or waiting too long before eating can slow the metabolism, lower blood sugar levels, and increase the risk of bingeing.
Make sure each meal or snack contains protein - Eating protein with every meal or snack helps slow the rise and fall of blood sugar and reduce hunger cravings. Soy protein is an excellent choice because it's a high-quality protein that's low in fat and calories. It also has a low glycemic index, which means it won't trigger a sharp increase and decrease of blood sugar. Recent studies have also shown that soy protein helps reduce hunger and extend the period of feeling “full.” And, the FDA states that 25 grams of soy protein per day, with a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol, may reduce the risk of heart disease.
Eat more soy and soy protein isoflavones - To receive the full benefits of soy isoflavones, a health expert panel advocates 160 mg a day, which is approximately the amount contained in 6 glasses of soy milk or 6 servings of tofu. But that's a lot to swallow, and may add an extra 24 grams of fat to the diet! Taking isoflavone pills may sound like a good idea, but they don't work as well as natural isoflavones combined with soy protein and may interfere with mineral absorption.
Trim the fat - Since fat is the most concentrated source of calories, eating too many fatty foods is a fast-track to weight gain. Easy ways to cut back on fat include using non-fat dairy products, fat-free salad dressing and margarine and lean meats whenever possible. Poultry, meats and fish should be skinned and trimmed of all visible fat before cooking. And of course fried foods, cream sauces, butter, gravy, full-fat cheese or dairy products and rich desserts should be cut back or eaten only occasionally.
Practice enjoyable eating - Those who feel deprived won't stay with an eating plan for long, and completely cutting out favourite foods can backfire. A more flexible approach is needed. Most foods can be eaten sparingly and less often, or enjoyed in healthier versions. The overall goal is to eat foods that play a dual role: good for the taste buds and good for the body.
Watch portion size - Just adding an extra 1/2 cup of cereal, tablespoon of butter, extra ounce of meat and slice of bread to the daily diet can add up to about 320 extra calories. If done consistently, this could produce another pound of fat every 11 days! Using measuring cups and spoons and a small scale can help keep portions under control.
Exercise - No shape-up plan is complete without a good exercise component. Exercise helps boost the metabolism, tone the body and speed weight loss. It's also an effective anxiety buster, relieving muscle tension, burning up stress hormones and stimulating the release of endorphins. A brisk walk for 45 minutes a day can add up to another pound lost every 17 days.Drink plenty of water - The body needs at least eight 8-ounce glasses a day to wash away toxins, replenish lost fluids, prevent constipation, and reduce water retention or bloating. For best results, water should be sipped a little at a time throughout the day.
Come prepared - One of the biggest reasons for diet crash-and-burn is the failure to plan for the unexpected. Keeping healthy snacks on hand, like a Soy protein bar or soy nuts, can keep blood sugar even and energy high, helping to stave off hunger, snacking on high calorie foods and late-night binges. Drinking a meal replacements shake before a potentially diet-busting dinner, party or holiday celebration may save hundreds of calories. A little advance planning may make all the difference between a failed diet and the successful loss of many unwanted pounds - make a meal replacement shake and take it to work - no more high calorie sandwiches..

Untill the next time...Anne

Can good nutrition be easy?

2006-07-23T18:54:00.000+01:00

My moto is.................................
'be healthy, feel good, look your best'
which is why I've a real interest in Good Nutrition and
thats why everyone needs good nutrition whatever their age, man, woman or child.

After all 'what you put in, is what you get out'.
So if you put rubbish into your body, you'll get rubbish out whether its poor health, poor shape, poor skin, poor self esteem, poor energy.........
So how can you easily make sure you get the protein, carbs, fats, vitamins, minerals and nutrients that are essential to good health and vitality.
In an ideal world, we would get all the vitamins, minerals and other nutrients from the food we eat. But in today’s world, we have hectic lifestyle and poor eating habits, so it is often impractical to have the ideal foods all the time.
Weight problems and nutritional deficiencies are widespread in the UK and many countries, mainly due to bad eating habits such as overeating, skipping meals, "yo-yo" dieting and fast foods.
Plus stress, medications, smoking, alcohol and poor eating habits all lead to decreased nutrient absorption from the food we eat.
Many people who try to lose weight quickly abuse their bodies with radical and unsafe slimming methods. Minimal or reduced-calorie diets rarely provide the full nutrition that our body’s require and can lead to long-term health disorders.
Harsh dieting also robs us of all enjoyment in eating. After long periods of dieting and self-denial, many people fail to maintain their desired weight and put back every kilo they lost and more!
If your diet provides you with less than optimum nutrition, you will lightly need to supplement your diet with vitamins, minerals and other nutritional factors.
Our bodies are composed of trillions of tiny building blocks-living cells which grow, die and are replaced many times over during our lifetimes. As all nutrition is absorbed at this level, our bodies need good nutrition for them to perform their vital functions of metabolism: growth, repair, detoxification and reproduction.
A weight control program that gives the good nutrition needed whilst cutting calorie intake is the very effective Herbalife’s Weight loss Programme. This allows us to reduce our calorie intake while maintaining vitamin, mineral and nutrient factors essential to good health. And the nutrition is in an easily digestible form, so our body can absorb them, even when there has been a history of poor eating, excessive dieting or illness.
The key difference with Herbalife healthy weight loss program products is the inclusion of a group of herbs and micronutrients which support optimum nutrition, for those who need such support, to further assist overall good health and vitality.
