Kisah Ramadhan 2012

Assalamualaikum,

Alhamdulillah Ramadhan tahun nih berjaya membuat kelainan dan improve on eating habit. Kalau sepanjang 5 tahun lepas, cuma bersahur dengan shakes tapi berbuka macam biasa then  lepas terawikh still kenyang lagi utk minum another shakes. Kesannya, badan sihat bertenaga sepanjang hari tanpa masalah gastrik sebab bersahur dgn nutritional food tp lepas berbuka, perut rasa sebu sgt pastu bila terawikh mulalah tersengguk2 sebab mengantuk kesan makanan serba serbi masa berbuka. Tak best kan?

So tahun nih nekad nak bersahur DAN berbuka dgn NUTRISI 1 2 3  bersama-sama suami.

Alhamdulillah, alhamdulillah, alhamdulillah.

Bila bersahur dgn NUTRISI 1 2 3, badan kekal bertenaga dan cergas sepanjang hari. Bangun sahur pukul 5, spend time less than 10 mins utk prepare sahur COMPLETE NUTRITION, pastu ada banyak masa extra sbb lepas tuh mmg x tido sampaila pergi keje.  Even kalu keje petang or malam pun memang x tido. So alhamdulillah, rasa sangat produktif hari hari..kerja di jabatan kecemasan mmg confirm 7 jam (kalu shift mlm up to 10 jam) akan berdiri dan bergerak sana sini utk tgk patient tp alhamdulillah, energy mmg maintain. Masih boleh bersabar dgn karenah patients dan selesaikan kerja2 lain..

Balik rumah utk berbuka tak perlu singgah Pasar Ramadhan, jimat lagi masa dan tenaga. oh, jimat duit juga..sbb makanan utk berbuka mmg dah ada kat rumah..

Tak teringin ke nak makan sedap2 waktu berbuka?

Hehehe, takpe, insya Allah panjang umur lepas Ramadhan boleh makan lagi..tanak dah ulang tabit buruk beli macam2 pastu lebih dari separuh masuk tong sampah pastu kalu yg masuk perut pun, belum tentu bersih dan berkhasiat..

Masa utk berbuka juga disingkatkan tapi yang penting, badan dapat COMPLETE NUTRITION. Itu yg lebih penting?

Tak boring ke minum shakes hari2?

Tak kot sbb ada different flavour , then be creative with fruits and yoghurt dlm shakes. Different flavour everyday;) dlm bulan puasa nih juga start include kurma utk blend dlm shakes so insya Allah masih mengikut sunnah Nabi utk makan kurma..

Paling best lepas berbuka, perut kami rasa sangat selesa utk berterawikh. Tak lagi rasa sebu dan paling penting, dah takde aksi tertidur time solat.Alhamdulillah sgt2..

Balik terawikh baru prepare home-made meals, tp bila dah mkn shakes about 3 hours ago, perut x la lapar sgt..usually we'll have healthy wraps/sandwich/salad pastu tido tanpa rasa bersalah pada perut. Ok, boleh je nak makan nasi lps terawikh tp kami lagi selesa dgn light dinner sbb lps tuh dah nak tido..yang penting, sedapp dan berkhasiat;)

Rugilah bulan puasa tak makan sedap sedap..?

=) Takpe, semua org ada pendapat masing2 kan? Pendapat kami, kami nak MAKAN SEDAP DAN BERKHASIAT, bukan setakat sedap saja..

We DECIDE to be healthy during Ramadhan.

Follow up one of my Herbalife's member.

Insya Allah , masih ada masa 10 hari lagi utk DECIDE jadi lebih sihat dan bertenaga di bulan Ramadhan.

5 Facts of 5 years

BEFORE HERBALIFE: WEIGHT 60KG

HERBALIFE 2007: WEIGHT 52KG

HERBALIFE 2008: WEIGHT 52KG

HERBALIFE 2009: WEIGHT 52KG

HERBALIFE 2010: WEIGHT 53KG

HERBALIFE 2011: WEIGHT 53KG

Fact 1: Alhamdulillah, after achieving my target weight in 2007, the number didnt change much. It remained between 52-53kg.How? I continued with healthy breakfast of HERBALIFE SHAKES. I trusted HERBALIFE to be the source of nutrition for my body.

Fact 2: Tiny secret to be shared-There were time I didnt consume HL shakes for a while (too busy with housemanship) and went binge-ing on food. To my relief, the weighing scale didnt go up an number (and proved myself that HL is nothing of yo-yo diet) but I myself realised that this habit would not do any good to my body, so I resumed HL shakes again.

Fact 3: Annual blood test showed that both kidney and livery function are all within normal limit, thanks to healthy eating and HL for that. On a better note, my cholesterol level went down from 5.7 (HIGH) to 4.8 (NORMAL). Yeay!

Facts 4: I'm grateful for better complexion. Not to say that the skin is all porcelain white, but I didnt face much acne problem and even if it showed up once in a while, not much of trace being left behind.

Facts 5: I have been wearing the same size for my tops and pants since i lose weight and shape up with HL, despite being back in Malaysia where the food heaven is.

So, what about picture of 2012?

Wait till my next entry...

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;)

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;)

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 ;)

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..

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.

Wonders of HL..

I lost 6-7kg and live healthily..

I lost more than 9cm and live healthily..

I wake up everyday, refreshed and ready to go..

I enjoy my study with better concentration and motivation..

I started to work out again with better stamina..

I no more suffer from gastritis, migraine and common cold..

I run around the hospital with more energy..

I feel good..

Praise to the Lord. i'm sure these are more than just the psychological effects...

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.

Reflection

before this, i often fell sick. common cold, tonsillitis, gastritis and migraine to name. up to a point, it happened every month *straight face*. combination of gastritis and migraine was the worst. on top of that, i often lacked of energy. during clinical year (3rd and 4th) i found it hard to stay in the hospital past lunch hour because i ran out of energy, thus motivation. i often seeked out reason to leave early, convincing myself that i'll re-pay the hours tomorrow. but i didnt. hehe. i flatted out and soon enough, i often find myself losing the concentration, no thanks to tiredness.

but not this year once i started with HL. Alhamdulillah my HEALTH and GENERAL WELLBEING improved a lot. living in the same weather and undergoing the same (no, a lot higher) level of stress makes them not the reason for previous illness. cant remember when was the last time i suffered from gastritis or migraine. i also enjoyed SUSTAINED ENERGY. i woke up early and spent up to 10 hours in the hospital, excluding of 2 hours trip by bus. and yet, i have BETTER CONCENTRATION and became MORE ENERGETIC. not only that, i can now enjoy life outside meddies a lot more.

a few ppl are concern that i am depriving myself from the so-called normal meals when i started with HL or dont i get tired of HL? to be perfectly honest, i cant see any reason why should i. i am still enjoying nasi/mee/roti/sushi/pasta as my meal once or twice daily, depending on my kerajinan to cook;p i can still eat out during weekend. i still live a normal life,eheh. nothing changed but my ENERGY and GENERAL WELLBEING. the only thing with HL, it

-gets my creativity better. i can mix and match yoghurt, fruits, juice, ices, roasted muesli, soy drink to my liking. so i dont get bored cos every month will be different flavours.

-provide me with COMPLETE NUTRITION. that, actually matters the most.

-saves a lot of my money. I dont have to spend for breakfast or even dinner. It controlled my unhealthy cravings and with peach-flavoured teamix, i enjoyed HEALTHY-NO SUGAR icetea. nice!

-helps me with my WELLNESS and ENERGY.

life becomes much better with good health;)

Where does the pleasure comes from?

To sit down with Miss K and talk her through HL. I pointed out the history behind the founder, explained each and every tubs' good and extra points. Let her read the information guide breezily. Answer all the doubts based on personal experience and what other has shared with me. Reminded her that it's gonna be a gratifying experience. Glowing with anticipation, i'm as excited as her to see what it's gonna be in 8 week's time.

To give Miss E a call to ask how she's doing with HL. Too bad she have to wait till this weekend to start as the products were delivered to her house but i'm really sure it's all gonna be good. I shared a few more tips and brownie points about keeping herself healthy and energetic to brave through the internship life. She said my call just made her cant wait to go home and grab her HL starter pack.opsss, hehehe!

I believe in good.

**************************************
Doesnt matter who you purchased your HL from but make sure she/he stick with you from the day you start till you can smile with satisfaction. Distributor is not a saleperson, it's a responsibility. They have to make sure you are happy with how you are doing, become your wellness buddy to keep you motivated and spread out the positive vibes. Nothing worse that being left alone to experiment things after getting talk into buying something, right? But with HL, u have to decide yourself how you are going to change your life and we'll guide you all along. So, yeah. cheers everyone!

10 THINGS WHY I STAY WITH HERBALIFE

1. Ample nutrition for daily intake- i dont have to worry about supplying myself with overly-expensive supplements and multivitamins. Some of the nutritions in HL are actually more than recommended requirement, goodness!

2. Worth for my time- busy bee cant afford to spend hours in the kitchen preparing meals or too tired after long day, but busy bee doesnt think junkies or unhealthy snackie is a good option either.

3. Endorsement by the expert- i believe the Medical and Scientific Advisory Board has been doing their job efficiently.

4. Yummylicious- my tastebuds crave for good food. 5 Flavours of shakes give me enough alternative to test my creativity. Also, i'm not depriving myself from my favourite meals and NO, nothing of skipping meals is allowed in here.

5. 3 in 1 combo- i pay for my daily nutritions, general health and skin complexion supplement in one price. How better can it be?

6. Good community- Miss A, the girl who introduced me to Herbalife became my good fren. We share stories and stuff. There's a few Miss-s and Mrs-s i am becoming closer too, by helping them out with their health and general wellness. Looking forward to a lot more.

7. POSITIVE VIBES- with the shed weight and inches, i realised it's more than just another woman's wonder. It's confidence, it's energy, it's self achievement.

8. Easy shopping- i dont have to spare my shopping time to go to the stores looking out for the products. Who says i have to go anywhere else to get them? door-to-door delivery, better than Ebay with guaranteed products=)

9. More to come- Herbalife is not only about shakes and teamix. Nourifusion is there for those with skin problems. Who knows, i'll be doing the before-and-after snapshot of Nourifusion next?!

10. Happy life- yes, i'm smiling!

WHY oh WHY??

I have been in the hospital environment long enough to realise what a nasty long-life impact some food could do to your body and life. Once you are stuck with the irrecurable disease, everything changed and you would not wish more than to turn back the time and take a better control of what you eat or binge. It's nothing new that most of the illness are in fact, what we created in our body for a long time. so, why wait for it to come then only to change your mindset and eating habit when you can do it NOW? when you have better chance to make a big difference in your life by taking care of general wellness and able to live it to the fullest, insya Allah?

I am pleased that a few are actually have no problems with weight issue but decided to pursue with HERBALIFE, nonetheless. the 'eh, why she/he takes it when she/he is slim already?' is actually out of question. these people, and most of us lead a hectic life. be it a juggle between study and fun time, scrape in internship, honourable workaholic or family person. we are all busy. so if 5 mins of break to enjoy the NUTRITIONAL SHAKES could do justice to ur body and make u able to perform ur job better, why hesitate?

it's true, we accept how we are as granted by the up above. love ourselves as who we are BUT we need to improvise ourselves the same time. if shed some weight and inches boost up our confidence to lead a better life, if slim down makes us less 'revealing' in the clothes, if getting enough nutritions means doing justice to the blessing from HIM in the form of perfect body and able to function better..i see no objection to that.

I can understand where does some scepticism comes from. fair enough. undeniably, i had a moment of that too before i committed myself to the change. only by experiencing it myself, i am where i am in HERBALIFE. now i'm more than happy to 'share' HERBALIFE with people who NEED and WANT them. making differences in people's life is personal satisfaction. it's always a pleasure to care a bit more about other people, explaining what makes HERBALIFE and overseeing the positive changes in them. it's all good.

so, yeah. i hope these answer.
