Its YOU...who should be motivated!!!

You've Got to Stay Motivated


When you are trying to lose weight, you may choose between 
1) Physical excercise 
2) Diet  or
3) Healthy Food + excercise.
 
A healthy lifestyle is not a day's,  month's, or even a year's practise. 

Of course, there are barriers to a healthy lifestyle, and you must recognize them to overcome it.
 
Alawys make smart choices while eating and drinking.

Daily Weighing? No Way!

Weighing yourself daily is one of the worst things you can do for yourself.
 
 It is not healthy for you to weigh yourself every day.
 
The number on the scale is not the important part of your health or your quest for health.
 
Your weight will fluctuate every day, and because we become emotionally tied to our weight, the ups and downs of everyday weight fluctuations can become very stressful.
 
Weigh yourself once a week.
 
Other than that, just stick with your healthy eating choices and workout routine.
 
The weight loss will be gradual, but it will come. Now get off that scale!

Why HERBALIFE...???

First of all friends,I would like to share an important fact about HERBALIFE...its not a medicene ...its just a

wonderful way that helps you to live a healthy life!!!


Our environment is high with potentially toxic chemicals that can enter the body through the air we breathe and the food and water we consume. During the process of life itself the body produces toxic metabolic by-products that must be eliminated to maintain health and vitality.


The well-nourished and healthy body normally eliminates these toxic wastes through the lungs, skin, kidneys and digestive system. Unfortunately, over time, as a result of stress and poor nutritional habits, including inadequate fiber intake, insufficient hydration and excessive intake of processed foods, the elimination process may be slowed and toxic accumulation can occur.

Do you have these challenges?

•Feelings of low energy

Excess gas and bloating

•General malaise and fatigue

•Difficulty in weight loss

•Poor digestion/bowel function

•Headaches and irritability

WHY HERBALIFE...???

The large intestine (colon) is the digestive system’s key organ of elimination.

It plays a significant role in the absorption of fluids, electrolytes and certain essential vitamins. When colon function is impaired or sluggish, not only is its ability to excrete waste reduced, but the natural environment of friendly bacteria can become upset. This condition is called “dysbiosis” and if not corrected can result in digestive disfunction and other health challenges.

Herbalife recognizes the important role nutrition plays in supporting the body’s ability to remove health-robbing toxins as well as in building and maintaining a healthy colon environment.

Herbalife’s exclusive herbal-based formulas use only the highest quality ingredients and latest manufacturing technologies.

Fasting is not recommended.

These products contain no wheat, animal products, sugar, or artificial colorings, flavourings or preservatives. The tablets feature a unique water-based, protective coating for easy use and improved digestibility.

Regular physical activity like brisk walking stimulates the circulatory system and metabolism and amplifies the body’s natural, self-cleansing action.

PROTEINS...!!!

PROTEINS is the most important nutrient that builds muscles and bones and provides us energy.
Proteins can help with weight-management because it help us feel full and satisfied from our meals.It helps to lose weight.

For every extra KG of muscle,it helps to burn an extra 100 calories a day approximately.
Proteins are essential for body immune system and creating enzymes.
The healthiest proteins are the leanest.This means that they have the least fat and calories.
Good sources of protein include poultry,fish,whey protein,beans,etc.,..
Better choice of protein is plant protein like soy protein and whey protein.

DRINKING WATER IS ESSENTIAL FOR GOOD HEALTH!!!

DRINKING WATER IS ESSENTIAL FOR GOOD-HEALTH!!!

The human body is made up of over 70% water.

Proper digestion and nutrient absorption depends on a healthy intake of water.Our energy level is greatly affected without correct quantity of water.

An healthy intake of water helps metabolize and shed stored fat...resulting in more energy and less fat.

The water plays an important role in our body :-

---Carry nutrients to oxygen to cells in the body.

---Means of flushing out toxins,and preventing us from diseases.Release wastes out of our body.

---Regulate our body temperature.

---Improve our metabolism.

---Protect and cushion our internal organs and joints.

The Quality of water is equally as important as the amount.

HOW MUCH WATER DO WE NEED TO DRINK???
A good estimate is to take the body weight in pounds and divide that number in half.
Refer :- http://www.manuelsweb.com/kg_lbs.htm

1) When we excercise, we must drink another eight ounces of water for every 20 minutes we are active.

2) If we drink alcohol, we should drink atleast an equal amount of water.

3)When we are travelling by air, it is good to drink 8ounces of water every hour on board.

4)If we are to live in an aird climate,we should add another two servings per day.

DRINK ENOUGH WATER!!!

It may be dificult to drink enough water on a busy day.

Let's make sure that we have water handy at all times,by keeping a bottle of water with us even when we are working,travelling or excercising.Its good to add a bit of lime/lemon for a touch of flavour.

CONSQUENCES....

Till now,we've been discussing the importance of water in our day-to-day lives.
Now let's have a look as what will be the consequences if the intake of water is not proper.

---Headache / Migraine (As 75% of the brain is composed of water).

Its me...MY LIFE with HERBALIFE!!!

To my surprise, from my dear ones whom I know for sometime I received some query about the meals that I’ve been taking as part of my shapework plan…

Earlier ,I've tried many things in life to lose weight and stay healthy...
1)Like replacing my morning tea with a glass of bitter-gourd juice
2) Followed by honey with lime in lukewarm water.
3)I also joined a health-care centre, which guaranteed inch and weight loss(Unfortunately that did’nt work for me!!! L ).

Currently, I don’t see any reason for shying away & feel lot more confident
and comfortable writing now, I guess there’s no harm to share aeh?

Ok, so this is it. Before I start, I would like to stress that, I am a very inconsistent person & my way of doing things varies all the time. It all depends on my mood, motivation & surroundings.

Well, we’re on the same page people, u’re not alone!! :-)

On Sept 06, 2008 at the age of 23 when I got married, i was weighing 71.5kg & waist size was 36 inches...!!! Since adolescent my body was on the heavier side.

Hereby,I would like to share a few snaps of mine during our engagement,wedding as well as the marriage reception ceremony.

Well...as you would see, my husband was perfect, but me...(oh...no comments!!! :-( )...you could see it na!!! :-D. Unfortunately comments from friends were more disheartening as Luarel & Hardy:-(

No wonder over a period he too started calling me a Fat ass. Initially i used to ignore but later it was a practise. Somewhere deep inside it really hurted me when he used to call the same in public:-(

As per Medical Science, 30% of physical excercise and 70% of diet is required for one to stay healthy and fit.

In my case, I used to do adequate work-out & physical excersise as i was an active Badminton player in Kollam , Kerala team. I was part of "All Kerala Badminton Champions" in 2001 and Runner-Up in 2002 .

but had no clue about the DIET part

It was in April 2009 , my husband introduced me to product called "Herbalife" by saying a Nutritional Breakfast to Break fat .... A Nutritional health drink comprising of essential vitamins minerals , soyprotien, carbohydrates

My response was "are you insane"??? No not again !!!!

I had absolutely no faith on any product with which i could lose weight and be healthy . However just to appease my husband agreed for a final attempt to lose weight...

Well my diet plan was quite simple... As i was told i just replaced my breakfast with the nutritional shake mix, and continued with my normal lunch & dinner....

For physical excercise after marriage, I could not continue my 'Badminton ' practice ... However started walking for 10 mins( 300mts) daily to the bus-stop and used stairs to reach my office.

By June 2009 , i could see a incredible change in me... My weight had reduced to 63 Kg & waist was reduced to 32". I am thankful to my husband and HERBALIFE.

I still enjoy delights like, chicken ,ice-cream & chocolate but along with HERBALIFE.

So what I’m trying to emphsize here is , u may follow these good things only if you are serious about losing weight & not if you are curious to know the change in me ....

Oou, Earlier I could never refuse people’s invitation for lunch /dinner, so do today...hahaha…

However today my body is totally regulated by HEBALIFE , which fixes the wrong food consumed by me!!!

With Herbalife, we lose weight & be healthy rather than being FAT or WEAK .

I LOVE HERBALIFE!!
