Lose 13KG!!!

Assalamualaikum,

Selamat Hari Raya Aidiladha..

So, i've been in Malaysia since 15th and currently settling down in my little hometown, Kelantan. To those of you who are in East Coast, (or have family and friend living here) and very keen to start on HERBALIFE, kindly give me a buzz via email or sms.. grab this chance to change your life through personalised coaching!

I have a challenge to pose to my wellness buddies (and you, fellow reader);

When my sister first started on HL 6 months ago, she weighed 87kg. A few days ago, she's back for her holiday and jumped on the weighing scale. Guess what, the number is 74.7kg now! so she had lost 13kg ( and a lot more of body size)...she could not believe it herself!!! I'm so proud of her and she's best living proof how great HERBALIFE has been..

So, are you up for this challenge?
To lose weight, shape up and feel healthily good through HERBALIFE???

HAPPINESS!

Alhamdulillah, I've graduated with Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery(MBBS) on the 6th.

Looking forward to help You in building up the self-esteem and enjoying better health through HERBALIFE.

Words from DOCTOR and BREASTFEEDING MUMMY

Miss MF, my dearest friend is now working as an intern(junior doctor) in UK and currently consuming HL . Here's what she gotta say about her experience

MF : hey makcik
MF:congratulasi
MF : oh kene update ko
MF: aku dah lose 3 kg!!!
yAtt : thanks
yAtt : wahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
yAtt : gileeeeeeeeee
yAtt : besttttttttttttttt
yAtt : wohooo
MF: baju suar sume dah longgar
..................................
yAtt : cik, target ko nak lose brape kg?
MF: hehehhehhehee
MF: hehhehehehheheehe
MF: mule2 target 5 je.. skang rase cam achievable
MF:10 boleh ke?
yAtt : boleh sgt
yAtt : true, aku dulu pun ingat dpt lose 5kg pun cukup bertuah

For your information, on-call is a dreadful thing for (junior) doctor where we've to work throughout the night so to have something handy for both nutrition and energy is indeed a great convenience!

Another story comes from working breastfeeding(BF) mum. A great reference to other interested BF mommies out there.

BE HAPPY FOR YOURSELF

In just one day, i received two great news from my wellness buddies. The first one was an email from AR...

********************************************
assalamualaikum yatt...
here's my progress after a month on HL...

1. lost 4kg the first two weeks and maintained the weight at 80 after that.
2. the jeans yang i beli kat bandung last august pakai muat2, now dah loose..
3. you know bubbling tak? yang vocal warming exercise tu? before this, i can't do it but now i can. maybe because pipi dah tak tembam sgt cam dulu kot. hahaha...
4. the spare tyre kat perut dah kecut.. =)
5. my officemate dah mula perasan cos she said before this if i wear baju kurung, mesti nampak tight a bit kat bum. but now no more.
...............(mentioned about body recovery reaction)

suddenly can't wait for raya haji cos we'll be going back to kota bharu and hopefully will be able to shape up more by then.. =)

take care!

love,
AR

CHANGE YOUR LIFE WITH HERBALIFE

Excerpt from one of my wellness buddies' blog

************************************************************
Guess what? Saya tak melenting langsung bile mak bagitau tadi yang mak tak beli roti canai for me. Tak der langsung rasa nak marah. Kalau before i consume HL, kalau my mak tak beli roti canai or nasi lemak ke for my breakfast mesti saya rasa nak marah sebab my mak tak ingat kat saya. Hahahaha. Bagus kan HL ni? Saya tak craving langsung nak jamah itu roti canai eventhough adik saya tengah makan roti telur depan saya. Kalau dulu, roti telur 2 keping pun saya boleh makan. Tengok badan lah kan. Tapi, skrg ni alhamdulillah saya dah sedar. Takut lah kena penyakit.

And my cravings towards makanan segera pun dah tak cam dulu. Everyday saya balik keje, memang saya akan lalu Mcdonalds Sec 3 tau. Kalau dulu, boleh kate tiap-tiap petang saya akan singgah kat Mcd tu beli fries or anything lah kan. Skrg ni, nak pegi sane pun dah cam tak der hati dah. Hahahahaha. Dalam masa yang sama, saya boleh jimat duit dan boleh beli HL.
***********************************************************

That's the beauty of HL. It does not make you spend endless time in the toilet doing number 2 and it does not starve you. All it does si providing complete nutrients to your body, simultaneously create a healthier eating habit for a lifetime and save you up some money.

That't the spirit!

1. Miss SR
yAtt: haah, im proud of u actually!
yAtt: u proved it yg kalu nak, ape2 pun boleh buat

yAtt: keep it up!
SR: i will, i will!
SR: you don't have to worry
yAtt: will try my best to b with u all along

Progress: LOSE 4KG in 2 WEEKS!

2. Miss CA
yAtt (7/11/2007 5:43:45 PM): thats even better!
yAtt (7/11/2007 5:43:57 PM): so dont give up ok
CA(7/11/2007 5:44:20 PM): ok..
CA (7/11/2007 5:44:26 PM): of course xkn gv up..

KC: yep...sbb..before this...dah 2 kali dia kena cucuk...sikit tak demam...

************************************************
Alhamdulillah, more and more people appreciates HL like i do;) CONGRATULATIONS!

My Secret?

I met a friend during one of the open houseses last week

Friend: ceritalahh yatt, ape rahsia ko kurus mcm nih?
Me: emm, HERBALIFE..
Friend: serioussss?? *disbelieved face*
Me: YUP!

what else should i say, kan? because i didn't skip meals, i didnt have much time to exercise, i didnt deprive myself from good food. All i did for the past few months were consuming shakes twice daily (or once when i was in M'sia) and one (or two while in M'sia, again;p) good meal everyday. So, HERBALIFE is really the answer isn't it?

Nobody came to me saying i looked sick or something like that because of this routine.Indeed i am doing really good, health-wise. No migraine, no gastritis, well-nourished.

I FEEL GOOD too;)

CONGRATULATIONS!

It seems like most of my wellness buddies are enjoying great personal satisfaction as well..

To all my wellness buddies (and fellow readers),

SELAMAT HARI RAYA!!
MAAF ZAHIR & BATIN..

Before HERBALIFE

After HERBALIFE

My NOURIFUSION Story

I have dry skin type and very sensitive to chemical-laden products. It got really itchy and drier the last time i used chemically based cleanser, not to forget toner often gives me stinging sensation whenever i used it more than once a day. Although i may not suffer from acne (or scar from it) as much, blackheads and depigmentation were bothersome all this while. Oh yes, that black area around my eyes made more looks more like a medical student than anything else (although i must admit i do sleep 7-8 hours a day)..

It's my 5 weeks of NOURIFUSION dry kit (Cleanser, Toner and Moisturiser) so far and no exaggeration, i'm highly satisfied with the outcome. Alhamdulillah. The skin complexion never looks better, i had no trouble using toner everytime i need to ( usually twice a day) and it feels smoother and healthier. I'm happy now that the black area has started to clear out so my eyes dont look as tired as they used to be. BUT the best thing of all is when blackheads & teeny weeeny scars starts to clear off. yippie yay!
I've added to the collection: NOURIFUSION eye gel, scrub and night cream.

Now that i've THE BEST PRODUCTS in hands, i worry no more about my skincare;)

More HERBALIFE experience

It's been 5 days since i reach Melbourne (again), thus the lacking updates because i was pretty occupied to settle down with the new rotation. Everything's been good so far, alhamdulillah.

As for the fasting, it's not that hard to adapt to the time change. Now that Subuh is as early as 430am (230am M'sian time), Herbalife shakes is simply perfect for sahur. Banana Mocha Shakes would be on top of the list! divinely yummy and keep me filled till the breaking fast around 630pm (despite having to walk to and fro bus loop for about half an hour everyday). As for berbuka, i simply make sure i had sips of Teamix and slices of fruits before having my normal meal. And yes, i shed 2kg effortlessly and my weight is now 52kg. tehee~!

How do i reward myself? going to kid's department in the shopping mall to grab all those cutesy tops that i've previewed last weekend...*grin*

Btw, I've a few more updates from my wellness buddies to keep the rest challenged and motivated;)

1. I received this email from AB after 3 weeks of HL

**********************************************
i dont really lose weight la this puasa (considering I typically lose 4-6 kg during ramadhan)...

i think i only lose about 1 kg je kot...and few cm here and there...

anyway, I feel energetic and that's good enough...I'll hang on to reading your blogs for motivation...he he

I'm also having symptoms, dry throat+tongue (although I'm drinking lots of water) and acne (tapi skrg dah kurang sikit)...

I think my body have to get rid of all the toxins first before I can lose weight.

one more thing nak tanya,

why some ppl eat F1 je?
**************************************************

and this was my reply to her
*************************************************
tell you what, aku lose weight pun tak byk...just about 6-7kg je tp i've lost so much around my body measurement and i've shrink a lot (..but bear in mind berat aku takde pun kurang dari 50kg) so it's not all about ur weight ok. kekadang u can simply measure ur progress by all the clothes yg dulu maybe ketat sendat and now dah boleh pakai loosely...also as aku dah mentioned a few time, HL change ur fat into muscle(which weigh more) thats why eventho berat x turun byk tp we're actually shaping up nicely...

yup, the symptoms is just temporary...once ur body dah get rid of all the toxins u can lose weight/inches easily...

as for those yg consume formula 1 only, they're actually taking 4 scoop of it instead of 2 so might as well amik F3..not only it has a lot more soy protein for ur skin complexion, it helps to build up muscle so that lps lose weight badan tak jd flabby.

hope that explains;) keep me updated!
******************************************

to which she replied back
*******************************************
yatt,

agree with u, I can actually feel my body firming up and I dont know if it's my imagination or not, cellulite pun dah kurang sebab aku tengok banyak stretch marks kat paha

he he
*******************************************

2. My YM with ER after 3 days of HL

yAtt: so far so good?
ER: yes
ER: i perasan kulit jadi lawa lah
yAtt: yup2 betul tuh
yAtt: jadi licin kan?
yAtt: thats because of the soy protein
yAtt: mmg bagus utk kulit
ER: memula i rasa kulit i cam kusam
ER: ingat nak buat facial lah
ER: tapi, lepas 3 hari minum HL lawa pulak rasa
yAtt: heheheh alhamdulillah
yAtt: glad to hear
ER: pakai bedak pun rasa licin je muka
yAtt: wait until u dah guna sebulan dua, mesti rasa lagi berbeza
ER: btw, i dah turun 1.5 kg
ER: hehehehe
yAtt: wahhhhhh congratssssssss!!
yAtt: ini dlm masa 3 hari kan??
ER: yes
yAtt: see, kan i dah kata u mesti boley buat punye
yAtt: keep it up ok
yAtt: i'm sure lepas nih u'll see less and less figure on the weighing scale
ER: 107 turun 105.5
ER: semalam i makan buah and salad dulu before makan spagetti
ER: selalu i habis spagetti
ER: semalam tak habis
ER: kena marah ngan my mum
ER: ahakssss
yAtt: hahahaha, bgtau la ur mum u dah kenyang
yAtt: mmg it works wonders kan?

and later of the day she sms-ed me all the way from M'sia to share this news
'Yatt, tadi i timbang lagi tau. Tadi i cakap kat u 105.5kg kan. Now dah 104kg. I like lah yatt'

3. Conversation with my mum

Me: adik balik bila?
Mum: hari sabtu nih sampai........Dia bagitau berat dia dah jadi 77kg.
Me: WAAAAAAAHHH, dah turun 10 kg. dulu dekat 87 kan?
Mum: hehehehe...

and when i checked the date, she only started last July so that makes it about 3 months' time. Isn't it?

Congratulations to all!! So proud and happy for u;)

Hail to HERBALIFE;)

'...nampak lain laa...'
i was given this remark more than once by friends and relatives.

anywayyyy, for the past month i put myself in maintenance plan (again) with Herbalife shakes; that is consuming it only once daily. Reasons being; i dont wanna miss out on Malaysian good food while enjoying my short break. Who would, huh? Sometimes, i even settled for teamix only for the whole day while i was travelling. I dont really put much worry about putting on weight because i know i have Herbalife...

so, yesterday i took a chance to measure myself again. I know i may not lose weight within this period considering how many impromptu eating out's i had and very-much-missed home-made cooking i feasted on. to my suprise (and BIG JOY), i am actually losing cm's around the target area instead. To date, i have lost

Waist= 6cm

Hip=5.5cm

Thigh=6cm

Arm=3.4cm

that makes me 21cm smaller at the correct spot. lalalala~!

so, although i may only maintain my weight as heavily as 54kg, i do have waist of 24'.

Healthy-licious shakes!

***************************************
To those who're still wondering whether shakes & teamix could sustain ur body need during this Ramadhan season, you've got the answer there..

As to my other wellness buddies ( and the rest of HL consumer), my simple message would be; stick to CREATIVITY, PERSEVERANCE and GOOD FAITH;)

Personalised plan & BUDDY PROMOTION...

I'll just cut and paste my email to my wellness buddies regarding the personalised plan for Ramadhan

Assalamualaikum to all my wellness buddies,

based on feedback & personal experience, i've formulated personalised plan for consuming Herbalife during this Ramadhan season. Insya Allah if you follow the routine as close as possible, you will enjoy GREAT results during hari raya;)

Sahur (5-6am) : 500ml Shakes (3 scoop of Formula 1 & 2 scoop of Formula 3) -we're fasting for more than 8 hours thus our body need extra nutrition & hunger-control protein powder). You could also add another glass of teamix for extra energy!

Berbuka(7-8pm): 500ml teamix with normal meal- tips to avoid over-stuffing your stomach would be starting off the breaking fast with tamar, teamix and a few slices of fruits.

Night (10-11pm): Drink at least 1-1.5L plain warm water(air suam laaa) to replenish the water loss & prepare yourself for the next day. I would not advise you to add teamix at this hour because u may have difficulty to sleep afterwards due to the extra energy ;) You may drink another shakes ONLY IF you're feeling hungry(most people said they stay filled from berbuka) or planning to skip sahur the next day. Oh, remember the basic rule to lose weight/shape up? PLENTY OF WATER!

Simple, yet i believe very practical for the season.

Please keep me updated about your progress ( or lack of motivation, if any) because that's what i am for;)

Take care!!

I hope everyone reading would benefit from it.

On another note, I've decided to introduced BUDDY PROMOTION to my wellness buddies, limited until next wednesday before i fly back to melb. To those of you who would like to experience great life & health with HERBALIFE with a lower cost, kindly leave me your email address or contact number;)

Get your efforts NOTICED by your loved ones;)

eheh, Miss AA already lost total of 15cm in 2 weeks' time (she could not get accessed to the weighing scale though ;p)

**********************************************
yAtt: so total in 2 weeks ko dah lose about 15cm
yAtt: banyakkkk gak tuh
yAtt: serious
AA: tapi abang aku realize dia kata aku dah nampak kurus sket!! (ehem, that's her bf, not brother;p)
yAtt: wohoooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!
yAtt: bes bes
yAtt: *icon joget lambak -opsss, bulan pose =D*
AA: thats more than anything!!
AA: eheheheehe
**********************************************

total greatness!! i shall not say more than this;)

SHAPE UP into the old clothes!

Last week, i received an sms from EH who's been on HL for about a month

'Yatt, akak try 1 kain yg last time x muat, dah muat! Yay! Lalala...'

hoyeahhh! worth the effort, isn't it? not only u're feeling healthier and more energetic, now you can fit into your fave clothes once again, comfortably;) happyness!

It takes YOU to appreciate HL

another favourite question thrown was about the possible side effects of HL. on personal note, i have not experienced any side effect for the past 5 months of using it. i could not think of any, really. on a global note, HL has been in the market for more than 20 YEARS (i know, it's only been recently introduced in m'sia thus the slight ignorance) with 50 MILLION CUSTOMERS and growing. so, that must means something right? it has its Medical and Scientific Advisory Board to make sure everything within the standard. i dont think we could expect more than these for assurance.

and what about the 'yo-yo' diet or i'm-gonna-skip-meals-to-lose-weight method? doesnt it have more obvious side effects from lack of nutrition to lacking energy or binge-ing? OR what about feasting on all the high cholesterol-MSG-sugar meals? surely, it has all the side effects known to everyone. u polluted your blood vesseld with fat plaque, increasing your chance for all sort of trouble with diabetes and many more. OBESITY? it's nothing new worldwide.

i wrote this 3 months ago, and my stand never changed. everytime ppl try to question about the side effects of HL, i have to stop myself from smirking. oh sorry, not that i find it ridiculous but rather sorry for the lack of understanding about CELLULAR NUTRITION. Insya Allah, those who consume HL will appreciate it without any doubt ;)

The tips & tricks...

=)

like what i've been emailing my wellness buddies...

1. Believe in yourself
Nothing's gonna be more helpful in changing your life with HL than keeping a positive mind & attitude (i dont really fancy the phrase 'lose weight/inches' anymore cos i know HL does more than that) about yourself and the effort. If you do not keep a good faith in yourself, nobody will! So, instead of saying 'ermmm, what if it only works for others but not me?' CHANGE IT TO 'well, if it works for others why not me?' challenge yourself, prove it!

2. Counter-attacks the cravings or big appetite
Before you succumb to the tempation, drink at least 500ml of plain water(better still, with teamix). Heh, there's a high chance that you're actually thirsty and not hungry. oh oh, if you still fail to let go the temptation..remember, there's always another time to eat so do it moderately.hiks;) or maybe you could start changing to healthy snacking-fresh fruits, some nuts or muesli bar.

3.Plenty of water
yup, as much as 2L per day is our daily requirement. It could be from drinks, soup, fruits but the best one is still plain water. To flush out the toxins, better cell functions and good hydration.

4.Get yourself a mentor
If makes a difference, i believe so. Especially to those who are likely to bounce back to the old habit. That's why HL is not available in the shop because without someone to monitor your progress and lift up your motivation, the products may stay forever in the kitchen cabinet ;)

5.Do it right
I believe the reason people fail to progress is because they dont follow the routine correctly. If you drink shakes twice +1 normal meal daily to lose weight; shakes once daily +2 normal meals for weight maintenance/wellness; shakes twice daily after meal to gain weight; great results are yours!

6.Test your creativity
Dont get stuck with only one taste or flavour. Variety of taste will keep boredom away.. That's why i always suggest vanilla shakes for a beginner becos it can be turned into different yummylicious shakes....love it! my personal preference would be chocs+oats shakes for breakfast fruity-vanilla shakes for dinner. special message to those in Msia, add a few cubes of ices for a significantly better-tasting shakes !!

7.Know the products well..
Its CELLULAR NUTRITION is something everyone should understand and to the HL consumers, to be PROUD OF!

okay, salam Ramadhan to all. Have a blessful one, insya Allah;)

What caught my eyes?!

tadaaaaa, something David Beckham and his LA Galaxy teammates' been wearing and CONSUMING for their soccer career!! must be something really good, ey?;)

Great improvement for skin, inches & weight

Hehe, another sms that made my heart swelled with joy & satisfaction. Updated progress from my cousin after less than a month of consuming HL

'Sangatla bagusnye. Skin, weight and inches mmg dah byk improvement. Tp weight yang latest tak timbang lagi. Cuma agak dr baju and seluar yg dah boleh dipakai. If not pokai nak beli baru, hehe.'

Alhamdulillah, being the wellness buddy has been a GREAT pleasure for me !!

As for myself, mistakenly thought as 21 years-old during my fren's wedding reception and high school girl by a makcik is flattering enough *big grin* Not to mention the remarks given by my SIL's mother. aawwww;)

Lovely mama & beautiful baby..

My cousin recently delivered her first baby boy and decided to start on HL during her confinement. So, this was what she emailed me..

'...guest what? even tak consistent ambik HL pon (kadang ambik 1 shake per day kadang ambik 2 shakes per day ;p), tapi, after 3 weeks, berat dah turun 3 kg. Then, inches pon kurang 10cm.. and then, my skin pon bersih dan cantik tak kusam dan kering mcm dulu even E(the baby) pon dah kurang ruam kat badan dia. Berkat susu ibu...heheheh..'

congrats on the good news!! could not be happier to share this happiness with u..Baby E will thank you for this;)

Real life experience

This is from one of my new wellness buddies..

EH: yup.. mmg kena smgt betul.. byk dugaan
EH: hehe
yAtt: hehe..takpe
yAtt: once dah biasakan diri kan..it becomes nothing
yAtt: as for the tempation; ingat mcm nih..anytime kita boleh mkn
yAtt; so tak rugi pun kalu kurangkan or avoid terus
EH: tp kan sejak kuat minum air ni.. letih pi toilet
EH: hehehehe
yAtt: hehe..mmg tp it's very2 good for our body
yAtt: to drin plenty of water
EH: yup.. betul
EH: akak mmg jenis yg kalo dahaga sgt baru minum air
EH: so rasanya mmg bagus la
yAtt: samalah sy dulu pun...tp skarang nih 500ml dah jd senangg
EH: pastu kalo pi kedai makan pun order air suam, letak tea mix
EH: hehehe
yAtt: woowww thats great
yAtt: senang kan teamix tuh sbb very handy n in form of serbuk
EH: ha'ah
EH: senang sgt
EH: letak dlm handbag jek bawak pi mana2
yAtt: great!
yAtt: sy pun x sabar nk dgr final results akak nti
yAtt: and remember, be positive!
yAtt: sbb kalu kita believe in something, it'll become much2 easier
EH: yup
EH: thanks yat
yAtt: my pleasure...
(our conversation continued about Nourifusion)

you can't blame me for being proud of HL...it works, just great!

Nourifusion Skin Care

At 1st, i thought of introducing about Nourifusion skin care after i tried it myself..yeah, i have the complete set of cleanser, toner & moisturiser with me now and going to start on it very very soonnnn (yeah, i had to wait till i finish my current products).

What makes me decide on the change?

1.Reading THIS

2.I've surveyed around and the price is way cheaper than all those BIG brands (not that i'm interested in trying those over-estimated pricey products).

3. I have good faith in HL after my experience with its Shapework products.

Would you like to join me?

Excerpt from the message to all HL muslim consumers

*************************************

Puasa month is a holy month for us who will be going through a period of both spiritual and bodily cleansing of toxins from the body systems assisted by fasting.

During the fasting period, Herbalife will observe the importance of Ramadhan Month and celebrate this holy month.

During the fasting period, F1 Shake, Tea Mix and Protein Powder offer personalized nutrition to support a healthy satisfying day that nourishes the body with vitamins, nutrient and fiber.

For HL menu during Ramadhan, click HERE

**************************************

Kindly leave your email address in my mailbox or mobile phone so that i could email you personalised plan accordingly -shape up or wellness..

Announcement

i'm going back to m'sia for about a month from 25h Aug till 28th Sept. wheee! so, to those of you in melb who are interested with HL (also to my wellness buddies who wanna get the next supply of HL), kindly contact me before 24th Aug...especially if you wanna make your life much easier for the coming fasting season ;)

yup, free shaker is still available for the 1st purchase..quick!

ADDITION

A few more people have started on HL for better energy and health. Good on them!! buzz me if you wanna do the same thing. I've prepared a personalised plan for that purpose based on personal experience;)

Another positive effects of HL??

'... the good thing is, HL reminds me to take good care of my diet, which makes me makan benda2 sihat, and being very particular about the fat content.. thanks to HL...'
***********************************************
email from my other wellness buddy after consuming it for 3 weeks..

GREAT!! that's what we want ultimately, self-awareness about how to take care of our health for long term. we're not depriving ourselves from the good food with HL but at the same time, we make sure our body gets the best of nutrition and live life to the fullest;)

and my lovely girls, thanks for sharing with me your experience...it's been a pleasure;)

Young at heart and body...

I received an email from my beloved wellness buddy and i think everyone should read this..

n guess what?? my ex-boss yg skang dah station kat jepun tu pon rupe2nye peminat setia herbalife...terkejut saya bile boss skang bgtau pasal die...well i can see how good HL is judging by how energetic and smart my ex-boss is eventho he is now in his early 40s...HL def will stay with me ;-)

i know!! being 40's with an energetic body and smart brain sounds so good, isnt it? i agree with you dear, HL def should stay with us *smug*

Heal your body with HL...

If you are still thinking that HL is merely about weight and inches, i'm sure you'll change ur mind after reading this...

************************************************
her: haa lg satu...hari tu sy allergy makn seafood ..
her: then..
her: amek Hl..for about3 days
her: cam ok..xde dah gatal2
yAtt: wahhh ye ke
her: die detoxify kut
yAtt: yup2
her: so..after that..all the itchiness....
yAtt: it's complete nutrition heals the illness itself
her: swelling..hilang...
yAtt: wahh alhamdulilllahh
yAtt: good to hearr!!
her: just..need to apply some cream kat allergic area...tuh je la
her: yg develop rash
her: Alhamdulillah
her: now..cam mkn seafood...
her: ok la jgk
her: x de dah gtl2
***********************************

so, agree with me that Herbalife IS a nutritional food, that provides your body with everything it needs? it also helps your immune system and your body can heal any illness on its own in a natural way. that's why i believe if you have any medical condition-diabetes, high cholesterol, high blood pressure or even as common-but distressing sinusitis; you should start on HL too...you'll be impressed by how good your body could battle the probs afterwards..

Babies and HL..

To all pregnant and breastfeeding mommies,

• Soy offers a "complete" protein profiles. Soybeans contain all the amino acids essentials to human nutrition, which MUST BE SUPPLIED IN THE DIET BECAUSE THEY CANNOT BE SYNTHESISED BY THE HUMAN BODY.
• Formula 1 Nutritional shake is FOOD, which gives you all 55 essential nutrients & 18 amino acid. It's a blend of soy protein combined with carbohydrates, healthy fats, minerals, vitamins and herbs.

i hope this will best illustrate to you, why Herbalife will be your best present to your babies? If you consume HL during your pregnancy and breastfeeding period, your babies will benefit from the best of nutrition. Lovely!

ohh, and if you need extra energy to run around your baby and new motherhood life, teamix is the simplest-yet-very-great solution ;)

Lose 12 inches in 2 weeksss!!

H: kyatt k.yatt!! 12cm loss in 2 weeks ok x? ke tak cukup? heheh

..........
H: maybe kita ni yg jenis inches kut.. KG susah sket
H: heheh
yAtt: dont worry
yAtt: KG will follow suit
yAtt: mmg average org ilang inches dulu..so far yg kyatt dok monitor la
yAtt: well, inches of lemak dah diganti dgn muscle
yAtt: muscle pulak weigh more than fat...logik la kan?

H: now baru paham
yAtt: yup2
yAtt: congratttss!!
...........
H: energy wise ok.. xlapa sangat esp bila puasa.. kol 3pm pn x rasa nak makan

*joget lambak*

hehe, that's one of the best updates! greatness;) BIG CONGRATULATIONS to you, honey! well, keep up the good work and i'm sure you'll enjoy more good news !

Congratsss!!

She, Miss AH came to my room. skippingly and smiling broadly while saying

'seluar aku dah lonnggarrr...'

heheh, i told you HL works wonderssss!! Wait till u become ever more compliant, u will have to change your warddrobe, ecewahh;)

LOSE inches, GAIN energy..

....So far sejak ambil HL ni badan rasa ringan la.tp berat x turun la.maybe bdn MK jenis yg payah sket kot nak turun.tp seluar dah longgar sket.boleh la pakai yg mana dulu rasa ketat+malu nak pakai...

Tp masa masuk hutan aritu,MK x ambil shakes tu.hanya minum teamix je…alhamdulillah la, bdn x penat pun.malah energy bertambah. Dah nak abih dah pun, nnti nak order yg baru plak...

email from my auntie. CONGRATULATIONSSS for the achievement !! dont worry, as i've told you some people lose weight easier, some people lose inches first. futhermore, you're replacing fat with muscle which actually weigh more... regardless, you're experiencing the good effects of it. well done ;) i'm happy to hear..

Fasting and HL..

H: kyat.. best la pose ngan HL
H: sng takyah pk nk sahur apa
H: hehe
H: and kurang lapa
yAtt: GLAD to hearr that
yAtt: makes ur life easier and healthier
***************************************

=D it's sooo nice to be able to share stories with my wellness buddies about their HL experience. i really agree with her, HL makes life so much easier. i have my experience fasting with HL as well, heaven. woke up and spend 5 mins with my shakes and i was done with sahur. to those who's planning to fast with HL, here's the deal

sahur: 500ml shakes
berbuka: 500ml teamix +normal meal
in between: 500ml plain water/teamix (if u tend to stay awake after teamix, better drink plain water instead)
before sleep: 500ml shakes

because the nutritional shakes contain all the nutrition your body need, that explain longer satiety..as for the teamix, hydration is vital as you've lost a lot during the day. try it yourself and you'll experience the difference;)

SAVE UP and SHAPE UP

i decided to do some calculation. look what i've found out

******************************************
RM6 nutritional shake worth for one meal+one drink+complete set of multivitamins and supplement
AUD2.4 nutritional shake worth for one meal+one drink+complete set of multivitamins and supplement

and

RM4 teamix perday worth for whole day supply of coffee+carbonated drink+junkies to keep u going for the day
AUD1 teamix perday worth for whole supply of coffee+carbonater drink+junkies to keep u going for the day
*******************************************

now, just compare how much you're spending for your regular meal of nasi beriyani+drink or KFC snack plate PLUS the multivitamin/supplement tablets? definitely cost you wayyyyy more than this..

WICKED! more money for shopping..hehehe

Understand HL better..

By Luigi Gratton, M.D., M.P.H.

*************************************************
First, what you eat contributes greatly to your energy level. Because digestion utilizes the most energy of all the body’s systems, the more unhealthy you eat, the longer it takes to digest the food; especially if you are consuming a lot of packaged, fast-food or “convenience” meals, which have low nutritional value and possibly chemicals. Your body doesn’t recognize and can’t use unnatural ingredients so it must work harder to eliminate them leaving you feeling drained. Also, when you don’t consume the nutrients your body craves, you stay hungry which can lead to overeating. This cycle requires added energy for digestion, which is why you feel fatigued after eating meals with low nutritional value.


Your overall fitness is another factor that determines how much energy you have throughout the day. Fitter people utilize energy more efficiently, and therefore have more left over to get them through the afternoon and evening. It may sound ironic, but the more you exercise, the more energy you’ll have. This is because your muscles provide more energy than fat, keeping you feeling invigorated longer.
***********************************************

I believe ALL of us wanna lead a good quality of life, more time for your enjoyable activities or with your loved ones. Read the article careful and you'll understand why i seems to talk a lot about Cellular Nutrition, it can never be over-emphasized. The better nutrition you give to the body, the more it can gives back to you in term of general well-being and energy. with HERBALIFE NUTRITIONAL SHAKES, it will never go wrong! You can tailor it to your need-lose weight, maintain weight or even gain weight. How cool is that?

With the combination of good nutrition and extra energy, u'll be glad to experience the change of life. TRUST ME!

May i correct you?

Maybe, i should address the questions here..in case there are others who are wondering of the same

1. Betul ke kalau amik HL tak boleh makan nasi?
huihhs, sape tuh yg sanggup korbankan nikmat dunia? hiks, dont worry kalau la HL nih satu program yang tak bagi makan nasi, aku dah awal2 lagi tarik diri...itu semua tak benar. basic rules for HL senang je

Lose weight: 1 normal meal (nasi/mee/roti/pasta etc) and replace 2 meals with nutritional shakes every day.
Gain weight: Drink nutritional shakes after every meals (nasi/roti/mee/pasta etc)
Maintenance: 2 normal meals (nasi/mee/roti/pasta etc) and replace 1 meal with nutritional shakes.

so, tak nampak tang mane yang tak boleh makan nasi kalu amik HL =)

2. Takutla kalu dah berhenti HL nanti berat naik balik?
Good news for you, HL IS NOT A SLIMMING PILLS that can make your weight bounce back in no time once you stop taking it. we have what we call 'maintenance period' to help your body adjust to the NEW WEIGHT and INCHES. if let's say you lose 10 kg in 4 months (2 shakes and 1 normal meal daily), you need to be on maintenance period for another 4 months (drinking shakes once and 2 normal meals daily), insya Allah your weight will remain the same (of course, provided you dont binge and binge afterwards like nobody's business). HL is a NUTRITIONAL PROGRAME, it helps your body develop healthy eating habit for long term. rest assured;)

3. Kalau dah nampak results mesti lagi senang nak compliant kan?
cheers, you need to be compliant first to see the GREAT results. with consistency and positive attitude, your dream weight/inches/sizes will come your way, with added bonus of better energy and health. you really have got nothing to lose with HL. how did i assure consistency? i take it as a challenge to myself. so you can do the same; if 50 million people can do it then why not me?


if you have doubt, please ask the living proof ;)

Beyond love

I have always wanted to make a difference in my younger sister's life, and more importantly in regards to her self-esteem. her big frame kinda swallow her photogenic face, and so she's always feel sad about...

so today, when i called her up and she let it slip that she has lost 4kg after about a month of HERBALIFE (yeah, she had to re-start again after a lonnngggg holiday at home...ppbbhtt), i am ready to jumppp and dance and do the joget lambak..

CONGRATULATIONS, adik! i've always known u can do it...proud of u ;)

p/s still, i can't believe u dont wanna tell me ur target weight..ppbbhhtt!

NO MORE headache?

Miss NH is one of my wellness buddies in this OZ-land. another medical student doing her hectic clinical year and this was what she told me over the phone..

'..mmg rasa BEST aaa minum shakes tuh pagi2..'
'...suka sangat rasa shakes nih...nih pun baru je beli soy milk dgn peach...sedapp!'
'...rasa macam dah kurus...hehe'
'...dah tak ngantuk..pastu balik rumah lepas kelas pun takdela rasa penat sgt..rasa lain aa'
'...teamix tuh mmg BEST..suka sangat!!'
'...pastu perasan jugak headache dah kurang..'

I KNOW!! it feels GREAT kan? glad you're having a good time with HL..it will help you going through your clinical year and the same time, you feel good;) keep it up..you're doing yourself a good deed.

Do it right, do it wise..

my good fren is about to start her internship soon. being a busy-bee in the hospital is a tiring job, no one can deny that. so she sent me this question

yatt, ade soalan.. aku nih dah memang kering (i'm underweight) tapi macam interested to get a better nutrition supply.. especially the one that can make me still being energetic despite of long hours of working.. can herbalife do that? aku tanak le bertambah kering, nak tambah berat badan pon tak bejaya lagik..

and my reply to her?

OF COURSE!

in fact, not only ko dapat better nutrition supply, it can help u to GAIN weight as well..2 in 1 benefit with the shakes; caranya ialah minum the nutritional shakes each time after meal, you'll have better weight in a great way..sedapp pulak tuh!

on top of that..teamix is the best energy booster to go with for long hours nanti...seriously aku dulu lepas lunch hour je dah pk nak balik rumah tp since start on it, alhamdulillah 8-5 dah takde masalah..

aku akan email ko further details..

**********************************************

i am not saying this because i am the distributor but as a friend. i know how long hours can do to anyone..feeling burnt out and lacking energy. you can be soo tired to even find your own meals, be it from the mamak stall or cook it yourself. you end up nutrition-deprived, more tired because of no energy and the circle goes on and on.

at the same time, you may also have weight issue. be it to lose some, gain some or simply to maintain it. why do it in 2 separate way when you can simply combine it together? MANAGE YOUR WEIGHT and at the same time SUPPLY GOOD NUTRITION to your body. you're actually saving money for that!

from another point of discussion( my fren, i do not mean this to you. i know a few more other who have gain-weight issue too and totally 'innocent'. i'm just writing this to illustrate the issue )

"underweight/skinny people have the tendency for HIGH BODY FAT or CHOLESTEROL LEVEL . "

why?

because they think chocolate-bingeing or high-cholesterol-and-fat diet will help them to put on weight. well, maybe it does to some but how healthy is that?? can you imagine your body is stuffed with all the unhealthy junkies and do nothing for your energy and general wellbeing?

my suggestion: give yourself good cellular nutrition with the shakes and boost up the energy with teamix. it could never go wrong!

Special message

For those who are still contemplating about HL, STOP ! Do something about it instead. skepticism and excuses would not bring us anywhere. If you want to experience the same difference in life, do it now. why wait?

I am not talking about weight management per say, i am talking about general wellbeing, energy and good quality of life. talking from experience, that is.

the choice is yours. do it wise..

to all my wellness buddies, well done! stay positive and keep up the great effort ;) only you, yourself who can feel the difference..

It's the quality..

My auntie started on HL about 2 weeks ago in an effort to manage her weight better.also, working as an engineer surely takes a great toll on her. energy-wise.

we had a good call last night. Sounds like she's very happy with the POSITIVE EFFECTS. She noticed that her clothes have gotten a bit loose now and no longer feeling worn-out. In fact, she said that her energy has improved even when she's fasting. HOW GREAT IS THAT?

we both agre;, to shape up is one thing but to lead a better quality of life with more energy and feel-good experience is more important thing. to those of you who are still contemplating, you might wanna give yourself a chance for a better life;)

************************************************
If you are interested in nutritional shakes but

-do not owns a blender/find it expensive to spend
-always on the road/in the office
-need less than 5 minutes to prepare the shakes in the morning and wanna cut the hassle of cleaning up
-always running late to work and need something handy to prepare the shakes and enjoy it straight away

message me on YM or mobile. i can tell you the solution !

The perfect pick-me-up

By David Heber, M.D., Ph.D., F.A.C.P., F.A.C.N.Chairman of the Herbalife Nutrition and Scientific Advisory Boards

****************************************
You’re having a mid-day crisis. You show up for the 3:00 meeting with one important thing missing. Your energy! But instead of reaching for something with a high nutritional value to combat these “afternoon lulls,” most people are only looking for a quick fix.

Say No to Sodas and Coffee

Carbonated beverages account for more than a quarter of all drinks consumed in the U.S. and a staggering 21 percent of the sugar in the American diet. Sodas also contain a large amount of empty calories, and chronic consumption can lead to obesity and tooth decay. The sugars and acid in soda can dissolve tooth enamel and lead to cavities. Millions of people also love the smell, taste and shared experience of their morning coffee. Americans drink more than 400 million cups per day, making the United States the leading consumer of coffee in the world. Most coffees and sodas provide a boost; however, the same energy-producing factor can be derived from healthier sources.

Healthier Alternatives

For thousands of years, tea has been known to be a refreshing drink offering a myriad of important health benefits. The compounds found in tea function as antioxidants and studies have shown that green tea in particular has the highest level. Herbalife Herbal Concentrate is a great way to obtain the powerful thermogenic and antioxidant properties of green tea. It’s also an uplifting instant tea mix that can be savored throughout the day. Herbal Concentrate contains five fast-acting botanicals for a boost in energy level and is low in both calories and carbohydrates.

So the next time you need a pick-me-up, do your body a favor and avoid the temptation of coffees and sodas. You can easily achieve the same results while getting much more in return. And with the average price of a gourmet coffee now at nearly $3.00, your wallet will thank you as well.

I smiled while reading article. I was in the same boat about 6 months ago, feeling so tired and lacking energy towards the end of the day. My face showed, i didnt feel great at all. i was so worried thinking how am i going to survive my work with its ungodly hours and constant things to take care in the hospital? i am not interested in coffee cause it gives me bad headache and other notorious addictive effects it's going to do for my body.

now i worry no more, alhamdulillah. Herbalife Teamix simply solved my solution. i gotta carry it around with me and enjoy sips of it while in the hospital. I drink a glass of it first thing in the morning to kick off the day. I'm not worried about how my energy's gonna be like for next year or after.

Oats and Cholesterol

Credit to Miss Amal for the initial article. I really think it's worth highlighting considering the fact that the number one culprit for heart disease is actually your cholesterol level. then only comes smoking, diabetes and hypertension.

****************************************************
Think oats ... what comes to mind? Healthy? Nutritious? A little bland and unexciting ? Troublesome to prepare ? Probably something only granny would eat for breakfast. So, are these perceptions true? Well, yes and no.

Yes, you're right

You know that oats is a 100% natural food and is therefore, good for you. But did you know that it's especially great for your heart? In fact, oats are actually the only major grain clinically proven to help lower your cholesterol, which will, in turn, significantly reduce your risk of heart disease.

How does this work, you ask?

Every day, the cholesterol made in the body is used to make bile acids, which
digest and absorb the fat that we eat. When you eat oats, the soluble fibre(beta-glucan) it releases binds the cholesterol-laden bile acids in your gut and both are eliminated through the bowels. This means the cholesterol is kept from entering your blood stream, leading to lower blood cholesterol and reduced risk of heart dieases.Oats also contain insoluble fibre, which adds bulk to the stool and helps it pass through the stomach and intestines more easily. Besides lowering the cholesterol level, oat soluble fibre (beta-glucan) also helps stabilise blood sugar levels. It slows down digestion and absorption so that it takes more time for the glucose (sugar) in your food to enter the bloodstream. This prevents a sudden spike in blood sugar levels and is especially beneficial for those who have diabetes.

Oats also brings good news to those who are trying to lose weight. Because it is a low-fat source of energy, oats take longer to digest. This means you stay full for a longer period of time and won't fall into the trap of over-eating. What an effective way to keep the numbers on your weighing scale from climbing up!

No, you're wrong

You think oats are bland, unexciting and troublesome to prepare? Here is sone preparation pointer that will change your mind.

Add 2 big spoons of oats into your HERBALIFE Shake and blend them together!
*************************************************

i agree, if you ask me to take oats on its own, i wont. it just doesnt taste good but what i did is add it up to my chocolate shakes every morning for breakfast. not only i stay filled for longer period, i am helping my body to get rid of the cholesterol as well. kill 2 birds with a stone, they say.

take home message for those over 50 year old (or have parents over that age), have family history of heart disease, suffer from diabetes and high blood pressure, malaysian who indulge in high-cholesterol-meals of nasi lemak, roti canai, kari kepala ikan and many others who are managing the weight: take ur chance with oats and make it more interesting with shakes;)

take home message for everyone: prevention is better than cure. if you choose not to take the first step for a better health, nobody can do it for u. longevity is in your hand, not others.

Soy Power?

Soy-based products are on the rise for very healthy reasons.

Promote heart health and overall wellness with the super power of soy protein. Learn how to get your recommended daily dose of this super bean.

The humble soybean boasts some extraordinary benefits. In 1999, the FDA approved a dietary health claim for soy foods, recommending an average daily intake of 25 grams of soy protein, with soy isoflavones, in addition to a low-fat, low-cholesterol diet, to reduce the risk of heart disease. This final rule is based on the FDA's conclusion that foods containing soy protein included in a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol may reduce the risk of cardiac-heart disease by lowering blood cholesterol levels.


One of the ways that soy seems to promote heart health is thanks to its high content of isoflavones.

Soy protein and soy isoflavones have been shown to promote healthy cholesterol that is already within normal range.
Soy isoflavones help the body regulate estrogen levels, which may help alleviate many of the symptoms associated with menopause and PMS.
Soy protein enhances the body's ability to retain and better absorb calcium into the bones. Soy isoflavones help by slowing bone loss and inhibiting bone breakdown.

so, for those who are taking Formula 1 Nutritional Shakes and Formula 3 Personalised Protein Powder, smile on. you're benefiting Soy Power in your daily diet..

Green Tea Helps Protect Skin from Ultraviolet Radiation

Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology

Everyone should use a potent sunscreen and limit exposure to ultraviolet radiation. In addition to sunscreen, studies have shown that both the consumption and topical application of green-tea polyphenols can inhibit the cancer-producing or inflammatory impact of ultraviolet radiation(2). One study concluded that polyphenol extracts of green tea were effective topical agents to prevent the adverse effects of sunlight(3).Green tea is an important ingredient in several Herbalife products, including Herbal Concentrate and Skin Activator® Daily Replenishing Cream, which with regular use, may help resist the adverse effects of ultraviolet-induced oxidation.

******************************************************
while some struggle to lose weight, there are people who actually struggle to gain weight. i find it erm, scary to hear stories of how they try to put on kg's-binge on chocs and other fattening food, sleep after every meals etc. dont we think it's a bit too much and dangerous-feeding our body with unnecessary fat and risking your general health with high 'bad' cholesterol? why dont we do it right by providing our body with the right meals, so that in return it can work BETTER in absorbing nutritions? common sense, isnt it? not only you have taste of shakes after meals, you are taking care of your health at the same time by giving necessary supplements. do it smart;)
