ITS ME...my Journey 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…

Basically I was'nt a person who was idle at home.But I was always on the over-weight side.
You know,people always comes with lots of advices when we are in a confused state.

People have told my parents that it is due to lack of physical exercise, I was putting on weight.
However my parents would tell them that I was an active Badminton player,and have even won the Kerala Championship in 2001 as well as been the Runner up in 2002.

My Kollam badminton Team!!!

Then they used to conclude , it could be due to hormonal problems (thyroid ) or hereditry for the reason of my over-weight.

In spite of those conclusion they never used to shy away from giving various suggestions /advices.
1)Replacing my morning tea with a glass of bitter-gourd juice and snake gourd juice

2) Honey with lime in lukewarm water.

3) GM diet.

4) Joining health-care centre, which guaranteed inch and weight loss.

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?

Well, we’re on the same page friends, 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.

That's me on my wedding day!!!

This is our engagement Snap.

Our Engagement was on July 14th,2008 and it was after that I joined V.... Slimming Centre and undergone two sections (one in the morning and another in the evening) for a month's time for weight reduction.I would never say 'slimming centre' is good or bad.

I would like to share our Wedding and Reception party snaps here,and you could see the result what I got from the Slimming Centres.

Reception Snaps!!!

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 Crazy"??? No not again !!!!

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

He also explained to me  that for a healthy living , a balance of 70% diet and  30% physical excercise is required.

Well my diet plan was quite simple... As i was told i only 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 30". I am thankful to my husband and HERBALIFE.


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

I Love Herbalife as it brought a healthy living in me & my dear n near ones.
 
Do check out the wonderful results!!!

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

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


By using Herbalife, we lose weight  by burning FAT unlike breaking muscle mass.
As mentioned in the beginning , people come with lot of advices/suggestions in order to lose weight. That results only in confusion..         0 - 0
                                    !
                                  ???
 
I'm certain that by now you  must be quite excited by seeing the wonderful change in me.

Thanks to Almighty and hubby for introducing me to this wonderful Nutrition called HERBALIFE!!!
 
Its the association of these wonderful people like Dr.Anoop Mishra (Padmashree Award Winner and twice B.C.Roy Award winner),Saina Nehwal (Indian Brand Ambassador-Badminton Champion), LA Galaxy Team ( David Beckham and his entire Team members) with Herbalife has given us the courage to have the initial trust in the No.1 Nutrition Company, "HERBALIFE", which is present in 73 countries world-wide now.

COMMITTMENT TO ONESELF!!!

Many times we tend to blame everything else, other than ourselves when we don't have success. Before you even start your Herbalife weight loss program, make yourself a commitment that you will stick with it, and take the program correctly until you reach your desired weight. Take responsibility for your own success. The Herbalife diet has worked for millions. Why not you?

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.
WOMEN'S IDEAL WEIGHT!!!
Metric :- 45Kg. for every 150 cm. height + 0.85Kg for each additional 1cm. height.
MEN'S IDEAL WEIGHT!!!
Metric :- 48KG. for every 150cm. height + 1Kg for every additional 1cm. height.

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).

---Constipation.

---Fatigue.

---Dry mouth / Dry Skin

---Dizziness.
