Feeling clucky?

When she first DECIDE to start on HERBALIFE about 2 month ago, she told me that she wanted to lose weight while trying to conceive..yes, we shared the same goal..

After 1 month of HERBALIFE, not only she shaped her body up , the next thing she knew was she's pregnant..Alhamdulillah, rezeki..

NO, i am not claiming HERBALIFE will improve our fertility and helps in conception but HERBALIFE prepare our body to receive new life in our womb by providing complete nutrition to our cells because you'll never know when are u going to get pregnant. Ideally, we should start on folate once we plan to conceive but tell me who take it with good compliance? I know i dont because i am never good with pills, i always forget to eat them. So the best way is to include all the important vitamins and minerals needed in our meal..

So her next question was about supplement in pregnancy. I remembered during our sharing session in Kuala Kedah, my mentor who is herbalifer for 6 years including her 2 pregnancy shared that her gynaecologist agreed that since she's on HERBALIFE, she does not need to take supplement during pregnancy because everything's complete in the shakes.

So i goggled the common and famous multivitamin in store for pregnancy  and here's the content

Isnt that what we have in our Formula 1?

Then i come home and look at my Cappucino Formula 1 bottle, scanning through the NUTRITION FACTS

So yes, it's the same content..HERBALIFE even have more minerals and vitamins ..

To the future mommies, please DECIDE for your health and wellness and insya Allah for your future baby too..

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?;)

*************************************************
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 ;)

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!

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!

Note: This article is courtesy of the Quaker Smart Heart programme

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.

Great and Gain

I thought i need to wait until thursday, after my exam to ask how my wellness buddies' go with their shakes and teamix. who knows, i dont have to wait that long.. NH got her next flavour of F1-Dutch Chocolate last week and started off the conversation

NH: aku rasa aku lagi suka rasa coklat. bila tambah strawberrryy, sedapppnyeee..
me: hehe, ye ke??? aku pulak mmg jenis xleh mkn coklat sgt..takpelah, kalu mcm tuh lepas nih ko bolehla amik perisa coklat je.ok jeh..
NH: pastu, seluar keje aku pun dah boleh muat..
me: ek? yeaaa, besnyeeee!! knape, sebelum ni xleh pakai ke?
NH: hehe, dulu boleh tapi takleh bernapas..pastu aku try balik, muat pulak..aku macam biarrr betul!
me:hehehe, best2..ko dah sebulan ke eh?
NH: belum lagi..nx monday cukup sebulan..skarang kira 3rd week

hullaaaaloppp!! ape pulak biar betulnya, cik NH...betullah tuhhh;) i know, it takes personal experience to believe in the positive effects..i'm happy for u and sooner, u might need to change ur clothing size;)

******************************************************
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;)

ShapeWorks- Question & Answer

Q: How does the ShapeWorks® Program relate to what Herbalife has provided for the last 24 years?
A: The ShapeWorks® Program extends the concept of Cellular Nutrition and builds on the successful legacy of Herbalife’s Formula 1, which has been on the market for 24 years. Cellular Nutrition means giving your body what it needs–nutrition that is missing from the modern diet. Protein satisfies hunger and many people don’t get enough protein in their diets to control hunger and build or maintain their muscles. The ShapeWorks® Program is personalized for each dieter’s needs.

Q: How is ShapeWorks® different from other popular diets?
A: The ShapeWorks® Program uses the proven principles of healthy shakes as meal replacements. The program is based on unique mixes of proteins developed by Herbalife in a high-protein, low-fat formula. ShapeWorks® allows for healthy carbs and encourages enough healthy fat for taste but not the “all-you-can-eat” fat of other high protein diets.

Q: Why is protein important in a diet and how do you use protein?
A: The power of protein is that it controls hunger. Some smaller women may get enough protein in Formula 1, but for larger women and most men, adding protein to Formula 1, using 1 to 2 tablespoons of Formula 3 Personalized Protein Powder, will help control hunger and build and maintain muscle.

Q: How do I know how much protein my body needs to lose weight, rather than gain weight?
A: If you use the Lean-Protein Estimator, you will get a range of daily protein intake personalized for your weight-loss success. If you are on a meal plan with less than 100 grams of protein as a target, you may use Formula 1 with no added protein. Adding 2 tablespoons of Formula 3 Personalized Protein Powder adds only 40 calories to a shake, so you are getting protein without the extra calories that are in other high protein, high fat food choices.

***********************************************
I was on the phone with my mum, talking about my Herbalife's experience. To my big joy, she said 'hhmmm, ma pun patut ambil jugak la kan? ' off courseee, our body needs nutrition not food! wait till i'm home and i'll prepare you a yummylicious chocolate shakes...can't wait mum;)

It's CELLULAR NUTRITION

I have been talking a lot about the basic science of Herbalife-Cellular Nutrition. So, here goes

**********************************************************
Cellular nutrition is simply providing ALL nutrients to the cell at optimal levels. This allows the cell to determine what it actually does and does not need. I don’t have to worry about determining which nutrients the cell is deficient in. I simply provide all of the important nutrients at optimal levels--those levels shown to provide a health benefit in the medical literature. Any nutritional deficiencies will be automatically corrected over the next few months by this approach and all the other vital nutrients will be brought up to their optimal levels as well.

Cellular nutrition is providing the body with all the antioxidants along with the supporting B vitamins and antioxidant minerals at optimal levels. This is "preventive medicine" at its best because we can literally attack the disease process at its core by preventing oxidative stress from occurring.

You may be wondering if we can control oxidative stress by simply improving our diet and eating more fruits and vegetables. This is definitely a good start. By simply eating 7 to 9 servings of fruits and vegetables each day you can decrease the risk of heart attack, stroke, Alzheimer’s dementia, and cancer, two to three fold. We certainly want to supplement a good diet—not a bad diet. However, even if you eat a great diet you can barely obtain the RDA level of all essential nutrients. Medical studies have shown that less than 1% of the American population accomplishes this on a consistent basis.

Cellular nutrition is about health, not disease. "Attacking" the root cause of chronic degenerative disease is true preventive medicine. By applying these same principles, you who are in good health can decrease the risk of developing these chronic degenerative diseases."

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

Thanks for the 'nice-flattering' remarks, people. sesungguhnya aku segan..tp that's not my intention. my reason is to let other ppl with WEIGHT issues, HEALTH issues, ENERGY issues and ESTEEM issues to do something about it...most importantly in healthy way.

Side effects?

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 Scientifical 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.

Now, i enjoyed shakes every morning to rehydrate and energise myself. i carry teamix along to the hospital to quench my thirst and keep me going for the day.

simple routine for better days.

Formula 1-Learn from the expert

Letter from Dr David Heber, the Chairman of HERBALIFE's Scientific Advisory and Medical Board about Formula 1 shakes

Q: What are the components that make Formula 1 a healthy, satisfying meal?

A: Formula 1 provides high quality soy protein, healthy carbohydrates, vitamins, minerals, amino acids and other nutrients to provide the cells of your body what they need for optimum health. You will be able to tell the difference from your usual breakfast after the very first shake.


Q: Is the soy protein in Formula 1 beneficial to both men and women?

A: Yes, the soy protein in Formula 1 is definitely beneficial for both men and women. Numerous scientific studies demonstrate the benefits of soy protein for heart health when included as part of a healthy, low-fat diet, which is why Formula 1 has a healthy heart symbol on every label.*



Q: How can one product, Formula 1, be ideal for both weight loss and weight maintenance?

A: Research shows that drinking two shakes a day and eating one healthy meal will lead to weight loss, while having one shake a day will keep the weight off for years. Formula 1 is the ideal meal for everyone, whether they want to lose weight or maintain their weight loss or naturally healthy weight.

What makes it HERBALIFE?

40 million customers and over 2 decades of global success
Good health is dependent on good nutrition, a fact that is recognised but often overlooked in curing diseases and symptoms of today's society. Herbalife has reached back into the Earth's rich herbal history to seek out the ingredients which will help shape our nutritional future.

The science behind the success.
Leading doctors, scientist and nutritionist make up the HERBALIFE MEDICAL AND SCIENTIFIC ADVISORY BOARD, ensuring the HERBALIFE products meet or exceed the highest standards possible. The advisory board is chaired by Dr. David Heber, head of the Centre for the Human Nutrition at the University of California. The members are specialised in weight management, heart health, vitamins, minerals and botanical-based dietary supplements. Their knowledge perfectly complements HERBALIFE's in-house product development team. One of them is Nobel-proze winner, Dr. Louis Ignarro.

Dr Ignarro is a Nobel Laureate in Medicine whose exceptional contributions to science for Nitric Oxide research were recognised in 1998. Nitric Oxide is a key molecule that effects circulatory vessel dilation and elasticity, while improving circulation to the body's organ. Dr. Ignarro's pioneering research identified Nitric Oxide as the signaling molecule that regulates the function of cells in a way that had not previously been understood by science.
****************

Nature and science balanced
Blending the natural ingredients with science technology enables HERBALIFE to create nutrient-rich, essential daily supplements, a welcome addition to any lifestyle.

Convenient, easy-to-use products.
Nothing beats 5 mins of yummylicious nutritional shakes and energy booster teamix!

Familiar?

A familiar situation to all of us

'A daily intake of vitamins, minerals and nutrients is essential to good health.

In an ideal world, we would obtain a correct balance of vitamins, minerals and other nutrients from the food we eat. BUT WITH TODAY'S HECTIC LIFESTYLE AND POOR EATING HABITS, THIS IS OFTEN IMPRACTICAL, RESULTING IN A LOWER LEVEL OF NUTRITION THAN DESIRABLE.

Weight problems and nutritional deficiencies are widespread in our society, mainly due to poor eating habits such as over eating, skipping meals and 'yo-yo' dieting. Stress, medications, smoking, alcohol and poor eating habits all lead to decreased nutrient absorption.

Many who try to lose weight quickly abuse their bodies with radical and unsafe slimming methods. Minimal, or reduced-calorie diets rarely provided full nutrition that our bodies require and can lead to long-term health disorder (HOW TRUE!!)

Harsh dieting also robs us of all enjoyment from eating. Afetr long periods of dieting and self-denial, many people fail to maintain their desired weight and put back on every kilo they lost-and more!!

If your diet is less than perfect, you need supplement.'
