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...

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;)

Understand HL better..

By Luigi Gratton, M.D., M.P.H.
Vice President, Medical Affairs and Education



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

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!

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.

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.

Lose weight with Formula 1 and Teamix?

Important Facts!!

1 plate of fried noodles contains approximately 800 calories
Averagely, Malaysians eat/consume 1000 calories for ONE meal
Herbalife Shake only contains approximately
200 calories
To lose 1 kilogram, our body needs to burn approximately
8000 calories
Women burn approximately 1800 calories daily
Men burn approximately 2200 calories daily

********************************************************
Calculation of Calorie Intake (WITHOUT HERBALIFE)

MEAL FOOD CALORIES
Breakfast Nasi lemak + Milo Ais 1000
Lunch Rice and “Lauk” + Juice 1000
Dinner Beriyani Rice + Plain Water 1000
TOTAL CALORIES 3000



Calculation of Calorie Intake (WITH HERBALIFE)

MEAL FOOD CALORIES
Breakfast Herbalife Shake 180
Lunch Rice and “Lauk” + Plain Water 1000
Dinner Herbalife Shake 180
TOTAL CALORIES 1360


Basic fat/calorie burning calculation (WITH HERBALIFE) is as below;

*******************************************
Women: 1800 – 1360 = 440 calories BURNED
Men : 2200 - 1360 = 840 calories BURNED
*******************************************

How many kilograms can I lose in a month?
Women: 440 kalori X 30 hari = 13, 200 calories = approximately 1.5 - 2 kg

Men: 840 kalori X 30 hari = 25, 200 calories = approximately 3 - 4 kg


*This is only a basic calculation. Every individual has different metabolisme level.

During the program, muscles are built and metabolisme rate will increase,

hence total weight loss varies depending on the individual.


How can some people lose 5-10 kilogram in a month!
For individual who drink Tea Mix, a cup of Tea Mix burns calories as if we do aerobics for 20 minutes! For individual who has high metabolism rate, weight loss will occur even quicker, as well as those who exercise regularly.

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.
******************************************


Do you know that HERBALIFE ShapeWorks Programme Provides You With The Right Protein Level, Low Calorie, Low Fat, High Nutrients and ZERO Hunger?

******************************************
Hunger is the #1 reason why most diets fail. The key to success with ShapeWorks™ is personalizing the protein levels in your program so that you feel full and satisfied, not hungry.

The ShapeWorks™ program makes protein personalization simple and fun with delicious customized shakes and mouthwatering protein snacks.

Formula 1 shakes are loaded with soy protein, the highest quality plant protein available – so you get all the nutrition of a meal with minimum calories.

For people with higher protein requirements Formula 3 Personalised Protein Powder can be added to shakes to help control hunger throughout the day. It’s a proprietary blend of soy and whey protein that satisfies your hunger and keeps controlling hunger throughout the day.

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.

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.

leave ur email here or contact me via snuryati@gmail.com or YM chapz_y@yahoo.com, i'll give u further details.

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.

dont worry, i'm not doing door-to-door promotion. i'm writing this for the sake of sharing my experiences and spread it out to those interested. after all, i've got nothing to lose here. i will always stay slim and HEALTHY, no matter what;)
