Do You Know?

Do You Know That Starving Yourself Lower Your Metabolism Rate?

*******************************************
In most cases, the starting point to lose weight is to reduce your daily calories intake by 500 calories. However you should never go below 1000 calories per day (or skip meals) as your body will think you are starving and slow down your metabolism even more.

Easy steps like drinking enough water, having regular (smaller) meals, etc will all help boost your metabolism. However the type of diet you follow - the foods you select - will have a major impact on your metabolism and weight loss. In addition if you get this right you will also see a boost in your energy levels.
*******************************************


Do You Know Having Right Protein Level Boost Metabolism Rate?

******************************************
When you eat the right amount of protein for your body this will increases lean body mass. (i.e. helps your muscles work at their best). The more lean body mass you have, the higher your metabolic rate and the more calories you'll burn. Getting the right level of protein will help boost your metabolic rate(naturally) and increase the speed at which you lose weight.

Metabolism and such

Below is sure a lengthy one to read! With HERBALIFE, you don't even have to worry about counting your calories and protein intake! Just take the shakes as recommended, follow your meal plans as directed to suit your program (be it Weight Loss, Weight Gain or Fitness) and see the results in a matter of days or weeks! But read on for your own knowledge ;)

How do you select a plan that will work for you ?

1. Fewer Calories (HERBALIFE Shakes)

There is more to losing weight than cutting calories. The key to a weight loss plan that works for you is to find one which will help you eat just the right amount of calories to lose weight. For example in most cases that starting point is to reduce your daily calories intake by 500 calories. However you should never go below 1000 calories per day (or skip meals) as your body will think you are starving and slow down your metabolism even more.

2. The right protein levels (HERBALIFE Formula 3 Blended Soy)

When you eat the right amount of protein for your body this will increase lean body mass. (i.e. helps your muscles work at their best).
The more lean body mass you have, the higher your metabolic rate and the more calories you'll burn. Getting the right level of protein will help boost your metabolic rate (naturally) and increase the speed at which you lose weight.

3. The right food to boost metabolism

Yes easy steps like drinking enough water, having regular (smaller) meals, etc will all help boost your metabolism. However the type of diet you follow - the food you select - will have a major impact on your metabolism and weight loss. In addition if you get this right you will also see a boost in your energy levels. How to select a plan? The choice of weight loss plans is enormous. From cutting back on calories, avoiding food groups, protein based, having to go and be weighed, etc. If you have a slow metabolism or thyroid then you will need to select a plan specifically designed for weight loss and boosting metabolism.

Weight loss
How you can boost your metabolic rate ?

If you want to lose weight, and have a slow metabolism, then weight loss will be more than cutting down on calories, skipping meals or spending hours in the gym.

The key to your success ,and achieve your ideal body shape, is to focus on your resting metabolic rate (BMR).

What is Metabolism / Metabolic rate?

Metabolism is the process whereby the body converts food into energy (or uses it for bodily repairs) or stores it as fat for future use. In simple terms, if you have a faster metabolism you burn calories more efficiently and store less fat.

So why is this important ?

When the thyroid is underactive, it produces too little thyroxine, producing symptoms such as extreme tiredness, an intolerance to cold, mental drowsiness, weight gain (even with a poor appetite), constipation, etc. To lose weight the higher you can make your metabolic rate the quicker you will burn fat - and lose weight.

My little story

Some are gifted. some need to work hard. Me? I choose the smart way;)

so, yeah. i've always had weight issue. not the one with morbidly obese or anything, just that i hate the number on the weighing scale. i was happy with my body, full stop. if not for the number. the static number that who never seemed to budge no matter how much i exercise or how less i eat. that number has been staying with me eversince high school. f3 kot. eversince, i despise that number. i guess the first number makes the diff..ppl said i looked a little chubby normal, i know im not-that-bad but i just hate the number. that's all. oh and i have difficulties finding decent clothes, decent loose comfortable clothes.

i came to melb with that number. i almost give up with that number. to my biggest horror, it went up by 4 digit in my 2nd year here..i almost fainted. i'm sure my face was about to blow out by then. and to my dad's horror, my face started to have pimples. what's all these?? crazy lahh...kalau dah abah pun pointed out to the zits, must be something lah kan. memang tak bleh lupa.

ahh well, what to do. i got away with zits but not as easily with the weight though. in the end, home country helped me to get rid of the excess. back to square one. that static number. so, yeah. ran out of idea already. i started to avoid the scale. i know i lost some of the number last year but i dared not to jump on the scale for months, cos i dont wanna see that static number again. till i decided to try Herbal1fe (HL). for the record, i initially thought of my sister when i first read about it in Akmal's but alang2 tuh, why not try it for myself. tp silapla cos i dont have my exact initial measurement, all i know i was 2kg less than the haunted number;) nevermind, i still went ahead. just after one month of extensive HL(read: twice shakes daily+ regular teamix), i already felt the difference. still, i avoided the scale. but i took note of the inches, skin complexion, energy level and metabolism. well, just say everything's worth for the money. Tell ya, investment needs determination. so when i dare enough to hop on the scale again, i smiled with great satisfaction.

i'm sure i'm doing my body good favour with HL cos it suffers less and less migraine-cum-gastritis because the simplest-healthiest meal is just a blend away; have higher metabolism cos i seemed to be eating everything under the sun now, apart from once shakes daily and drinking teamix religiously (tips: if u feel guilty for sacrificing ur shakes because u have dinner invitation, fret not. replace it with teamix); enough soy protein for my complexion; running around the hospital for long hours energetically; yummylicious shakes; boost up my confidence and above all, got to wear all the decent clothes loosely and comfortably. yeay!

here i am, 7kg lighter than the static number. 5kg courtesy of HL. so, yeah. i couldn't write more than this.

I'm not talking alone

It's just after a week of her herbalife

sms-Yups, enjoying it. so far rasa segar. but today x compliance plak. neway, feel already losing some inch kot'

FUN ways to lose weight in healthy way

1. Read about the nutritional facts of herbalife products (refer entry below)

3. Order your herbalife now.

- Starter packs (can either choose vanilla, chocholate, tropical fruit or cappucino flavour) consists of Formula 1, Formula 3, Tea mix and spoon=easily last for a month if u take it twice daily
-Shaker= very useful for breakfast if ur running late.

4. Snap a lot of pics of urself, body parts and face. Measure ur body parts in inches (arm, waist, bottom, hips) and keep records of them. weigh urself.

5. Once u get ur herbalife, enjoy the shake twice and a normal meal daily , on top of that mix ur mineral water bottle with tea mix.

observe ur energy changes. my advice is dont focus too much on the lost kg's and inches, but observe also ur energy level, skin condition and 'unhealthy cravings'. ehem, we gotta lose some to win some kan?after all, u can still enjoy ur daily doses of fave food, just make sure its moderately taken;)

6. Repeat step 4 after day 3, day 7, day 14. records ur achievements and share with me.

Disclaimer: they're facts. i, by no means wish to go vain or brag.

if u ask me why?

- i dont have to worry about my breakfast and dinner. i'm running busy at the moment, so does i believe most of us. my meals will be formula 1+formula 3+a cup of soymilk+a cup of plain water(u can add up yoghurt, fresh fruits or yoghurt drink...whichever u like to it)+ice cubes..can either blend or use the shaker...in between, i fill in my water bottle with formula 2(tea mix)..it keeps me hydrated and energised for the whole day. i sustain my whole morning with shake, have normal lunch and light dinner with another shake. for me, its a reasonable way of losing weight and keeping me healthy.

-for all i know, i've got all the nutrients and vitamins needed in daily basis. no need for multivitamins tablet, no need for energy drink whatsoever. this actually detox ur body as well.

- once i've established my ideal/wished weight, i'll continue using this. for a health conscious but too lazy to prepare good meals like me, this is the ultimate solution.have it once daily and i'm done for the nutrients requirement.easy peasy.

- i am what i eat.

if i can divide us into 3 categories

-health person who wanna stay healthy= consume this once daily and u'll be nutrionised & energised.

-someone who need to do something with weight= u can lose and gain weight with this product. it's a meal replacement plan. u DONT have to starve urself to lose weight, nor binge into fattening notorious food to gain weight. just DONT.

- suffer from medical problems= i know a friend who uses this for her sinusitis and approved that it works. i've read about ppl having various kind of illnesses(diabetes, high blood pressure, acne etc) who benefits from this as well. it may not cure but helps u control the probs.

can either YM chapz_y@yahoo.com or email snuryati@gmail.com. otherwise just leave ur email here and i'll write back to u. it doesnt hurt to share good experiences, right?
