Health & Diet Tip:
Avoid the Pain…Maintain!
Most people who do manage to lose weight will gain it back again. A lot of
crash diets fail in this area. While this fact might seem obvious it bears
repeating. Don't let this happen to you! Don't be another statistic! There
are a few simple steps you can use to avoid letting this happen to you. There
are also warning signs to watch for, let's look at them:
1. Speed. Avoid any kind of program or diet that either promises rapid
weight loss or makes you lose weight too fast. This is a definite warning
sign. The longer it takes you to get the weight off the longer you will keep it
off, period. The idea of losing weight fast might be tempting and can be
done but why take the chance? Why risk something you don't need to?
Usually losing weight too quickly means starving yourself and when it's
over you will start to eat more again to compensate. Your body will be
craving food and you'll have to give in.
2. Monitor. When you first lose the weight and especially if you are
inexperienced you need to frequently monitor your weight before it is too
late. Once you get used to your habits a little more and experiment you will
be able to go longer periods of time between weigh-ins. The key here is to
catch the weight before it becomes noticeable to you and to others. When
the scale says you’re over by two pounds it won't show, you still have time.
If the scale says you’re over by seven…chances are you waited too long and
by this point you will see it.
3. Don't push it too far. Sure you can eat more and for longer periods of
time now that you are thin but don't get carried away! You could even binge
for a week if your metabolism is cranked enough but watch one week
doesn't become two and so on. The thing with food is that's it's very
addicting. It doesn't take long if you are not careful to get back fully into
your old habits. Save your bingeing for when you really need it like the
Christmas holidays or vacations!
4. Boredom or depression. Sometimes you can just say ‘you've had it’
because you’re tired of constantly thinking of the timing of meals and when
to exercise etc. This is very understandable. In this case you want to just
drop everything. Take a week or two off and do things you like. Read,
watch movies, or anything to get your mind off of it all. Before you know it,
you will miss these things and be craving to get back into the swing of things
like your exercise or making a delicious chocolate shake. Whatever your
routine is.
If you keep these steps in mind after you have lost the weight it will become
very difficult to put it back on. Don't get stuck in a rut. You'll be where you
want to be and looking the way you want. The world is yours! Climb the
next mountain and tackle the next barrier in your life! Good luck!
Key points
* Avoid losing weight too fast, you will be starving your body of vital nutrients
Motivational Quote:
"Worry is like a rocking chair - it gives you something to
do, but it doesn't get you anywhere."
"We would worry less about what others think of us if we
realized how seldom they do."
"The time is always right to do what is right."

Fad Diets and the Diet Gap.
ARE FAD DIETS PUTTING PEOPLES HEALTH AT RISK? SEE HOW HERBALIFE COMPARES.
Have you noticed that fad diets rise and fall in popularity like the latest fashions or current pop songs? We’ve seen (and seen off) the Soup Diet; the Grapefruit Diet; the No Carbs Diet; the Only Carbs Diet, and so on. No sooner than one falls from favour than another becomes ‘flavour of the month’. As a result of experimenting with the latest “food exclusion” diets, many people are actually cutting out entire food groups, leading to nutritional deficiencies, which could be damaging their health! While it may seem that cutting out carbs is great for fast weight loss, there is a very real risk that it will trigger carbohydrate cravings. Have you ever experienced carbohydrate deprivation? First you become edgy, then start to crave carbs, especially the wrong sort of starchy carbs that are stored as fat. Many people simply give in and become compulsive, but those who hold out can suffer severe side effects. Vitamin B group deficiency is one outcome, leading to fatigue and anxiety.
BRAIN FOOD Did you know that the body’s main fuel source for energy comes from carbohydrates? Or that carbs are the brain food used to fuel its function. Is it any wonder you crave high carb, high sugar snacks when studying hard, problem solving or using a computer? Health professionals advise that eliminating carbs from your diet is counter-productive. A much better strategy is giving your body the right type of carbs it requires. Herbalife’s meal replacement Formula 1 Shakes, together with Herbalife’s other Formula dietary supplements are scientifically designed to provide balanced nutrition in the right combination of protein, fibre, carbohydrates, herbs, minerals and vitamins.
MEAT-FREE Many people cut out meat when dieting, thinking that this is the way to eliminate excess fat from their bodies. By doing so they could be missing out on important vitamins and minerals such as iron, vitamin B12 and zinc. Iron deficiency leads to serious conditions such as anaemia. Protein is an essential building block for the body and is needed for the growth of new cells and tissues. If you don’t eat meat it is vital to get adequate protein from other sources. Herbalife’s (soy) Protein Powder, together with Formula 1 helps build and maintain lean muscle mass and enhances your stamina and wellbeing while dieting. The addition of Vitamin C enhances the absorption of iron. You can have your necessary proteins now, even if you are a vegetarian.
FAT-FREE? Since the “fat-free craze” began, statistics show we have grown fatter and fatter. Just because a food is fat free doesn’t mean its calorie free. Today, supermarket shelves are packed with foods that call to dieters with the words “FAT-FREE”. But as conscientious weight watchers load up their shopping carts with fat free foods week after week, many discover this alarming fact: their weight is going up!
GETTING FAT ON FAT-FREE Although we’ve been taught to think of fat as the culprit in the weight loss battle, clearly this is only part of the whole diet picture. Many fat free foods are actually very high in sugar and carbohydrate calories. And these calories, when eaten in excess, become converted into the one thing we’ve been taught to avoid- fat!
LOSE THE FAT FROM YOUR BODY, NOT YOUR DIET Ironically, in order to burn fat and lose weight you need a certain amount of good quality fat. That’s why Herbalife’s balanced dietary formulas include enough “good fats”, such as those found in fish and olive oil, together with Herbalife’s highly nutritious meal replacement shakes and snacks. Bad fats include trans fatty acids or hydrogenated fat. Good fats are mono saturated and polyunsaturated fats containing omega-3 and omega-3 fatty acids, which help to lower cholesterol, improve eyesight and boost brain power. Herbalifeline is an excellent way to obtain your daily intake of the Omega-3 fatty acids, which are often lacking in both “normal” and fad diets. Omega-3 fatty acids promote good health; helps maintain healthy triglyceride levels that are already within normal range; and provide temporary relief of joint discomfort. By avoiding the fat free craze and giving your body the complete nourishment it needs with Herbalife’s supplements and weight management products, you’ll lose weight steadily and feel healthier as you do.
FAST WEIGHT LOSS DIET FADS. Quick weight loss diets usually overemphasize one particular food or food type. They violate the first principle of good nutrition, which is to eat a balanced diet that includes a variety of foods. There are no “super-foods.” No one type of food has all the nutrients you need for good health. Fad diets also violate a second important principle of good nutrition- eating should be enjoyable. Fad diets are so monotonous and boring that its almost impossible to stay on them for long periods.

Editor’s notes & Humour:
Gratitude. Dr. Robert Anderson describes gratitude as the Great Attitude. "Gratitude produces feelings of joy and self-acceptance, and is an attitude that anyone can choose to have, just as we can choose to see the glass half full or half empty" Dr. Anderson says.
"Being grateful for what you have, instead of worrying about what you lack, enables you to let go of negative thoughts and attitudes more easily. This can be difficult at times, especially if you are feeling a great deal of fear or anger, but if you make the effort to release these painful emotions and choose to be grateful, instead, positive benefits can be achieved."
One method of cultivating feelings of gratitude is keeping a gratitude journal. A variation of this technique is to close your eyes before bed and mentally review your day, taking an inventory of all the things that happened for which they feel grateful, silently giving thanks for them.
"By making gratitude a regular part of your daily experience, you set the stage for living more deeply connected to spirit, "Dr. Anderson says. "In the process, your life will be transformed into an increasingly joyous adventure."
Things I Learned From Noah's Ark
Everything I need to know, I learned from Noah's Ark.
1. Don't miss the boat.
2. Remember that we are all in the same boat.
3. Plan ahead. It wasn't raining when Noah built the Ark.
4. Stay fit. When you're 60 years old, someone may ask you
to do something really big.
6. Build your future on high ground.
8. Speed isn't always an advantage. The snails were on
board with the cheetahs.
9. When you're stressed, float awhile.
10. Remember, the Ark was built by amateurs; the Titanic by
professionals.
11. The whole world can change in only 40 days.
12. No matter the storm, when you are with God, there's
always a rainbow waiting.
Have a fantastic day!
