Does HERBALIFE make you ill?

UpsetTummy-illus - Copy - CopyI have now been using HERBALIFE since January 2014, I have been a Better Body Coach since March 2014, I personally have had NO bad reactions to any of the products. I haven’t felt ill, had a bad stomach, felt dizzy or any of the other ailments that I have heard people say they’ve had. There is one reason that I haven’t been ill, one reason why NONE of my customers have been ill. That reason is, they’ve been doing HERBALIFE properly. The key is to KNOW YOUR NUTRITION.

I have read so so many reports now that say HERBALIFE is a poison, HERBALIFE causes cancer, HERBALIFE makes you ill. I’m sick to the back teeth of reading this so I asked someone who reported to being ill on the products what the issues where. I got the response I expected, the person in question was indeed feeling ill, dizzy, upset stomach, headaches, low energy and so on. I wasn’t happy with this so I decided to dig deeper, find out the cause of the issues, the last thing I want is for myself, my family or anyone else who is using HERBALIFE to be bad.

So I proceeded to do my own evaluation as I would with a new customer, “Whats your diet like?”, “What are you currently eating?”, “Do you do any exercise?”, “What Products are you using?”

I was shocked at the response and immediately found the root of the issues, the problem didn’t lay within the products or the food they was eating but the issue was the poor advice given by the poor “Better Body Coach”.

They was told to have just 2 shakes per day and an evening meal of no more than 600 Calories, that’s approx. 1000 calories a day, this person was also going to the gym three times a week. Now there is no wonder they was ill, not enough food to maintain their body on a normal day, never mind when going to they gym too.

A good HERBALIFE coach would listen to the individuals needs, assess their weekly routines and go from there. Eat at least FIVE times a day, two shakes, Two snacks and a well balanced evening meal with healthy portions plus at least 2L of water a day (this a basic plan example). A lot of people who are reading this will be asking, whats a well balanced meal? Whats a healthy portion size? Whats a snack consist of? I will be writing that up in my next blog.

Luckily I managed to get this person back on the right track and they was able to continue using our products to reach their goals.

For now and to end this post I will say this, eat healthy, consume at least 1200 calories a day, increase to 1600 plus if exercising.

Is HERBALIFE all just shakes?

Another popular question I get asked when doing Better Body Evaluations is “Is herbalife just shakes?” Well there is a simple answer, that is NO it isn’t.

We try to encourage people to eat regularly, at least 5 times a day. Usually this is 2 shakes, 2 snacks and a well balanced meal. The meals can be almost limitless as there is no restriction on what you can and can’t eat (we’re not dieting remember), all you have to remember is that certain food WILL hinder your progress, even reverse it. What we do is try and teach you about nutrition and what is good to eat and what is not so good, it’s then down to you to make them choices and create good habits.

Below is an example of a recipe I use for Chili, its something I have crafted, an amalgamation of various recipes I have seen over time. Please feel free to try it, adjust it and create your own perfect meal.

So here goes, these are the ingredients I use:

  • Chopped Tomatoes (can)
  • 5 Beans, Kidney Beans or Baked Beans (can)
  • 500G Turkey Mince
  • 2 Teaspoons HOT Chili Powder
  • 2 Teaspoons Paprika
  • 2 Teaspoons Cayenne Pepper
  • Chili Flakes
  • Garlic Salt
  • 1 Whole Pepper
  • 1 Large Onion
  • 3 Garlic Cloves
  • 1 Tablespoon Sugar
  • Salt and Pepper

Start by finely Dicing your onion, finely slicing your garlic and chopping your pepper in to approx. squares

 

 

 

ImageCook the above until the onions become soft and translucent, once this has happened add the Chili Powder, Paprika and Cayenne Pepper and cook for another minute until its all blended.

Once you’ve completed all the above and brown the mince in the same pan, this will allow to meat to soak up all those flavors. Once the mince has browned, add the canned tomatoes, beans then the Chili flakes, garlic salt, sugar, salt and pepper. Give it all a good stir and make sure it’s nicely combined. Leave to simmer on a low heat for 30 minutes and there you have it, a great healthy, low fat, high protein, high fibre meal. Eat with salad, brown rice, brown pasta or just on its own.Image

And there you have it, the final picture of the completed chili.

What’s a typical day with HERBALIFE?

typical-day

One question that is regularly asked when doing a Better Body Evaluation is
“what’s a typical day when using HERBALIFE?”

Well a very basic day would comprise of:
Breakfast – HERBALIFE F1 Shake with PPP, F2 Multivitamin Complex then Fibre & Herb.
Morning Snack – HERBALIFE Protein bar & Piece of fruit
Lunch – HERBALIFE F1 Shake with PPP, F2 Multivitamin Complex then Fibre & Herb.
Afternoon Snack – Boiled egg & 60g Cooked meat
Evening Meal – A well balanced meal containing Protein, Carbs and Fats plus your F2 Multivitamin Complex then Fibre & Herb.

Throughout the day it is advised you drink 2L of water a day to keep well hydrated, this helps clear the body and also helps with weightloss but increasing your metabolism. Here is some more info.

Now, not everyone is the same, some people may only have one shake a day, some people may not need the Fibre and Herb, some people may be on HERBALIFE 24 the sports range. This is why whenever we take on somebody new we do an in depth Better Body Evaluation so that we can help people use the right product that right for them at the right time. It all depends on the individual, their needs and their lifestyle.

A shake only takes 45 seconds to a minute to make, this is why there great for breakfast, if your day quite mid day but busy in an evening you may want your main meal for lunch and shake in an evening.

Remember, everybody is different and has different need. Feel free to comment below if you’d like a Better Body Evaluation. The evaluation can be done in person (if local), over the phone or even via email.

Is HERBALIFE a diet?

ImageIs HERBALIFE a diet, well in a word, yes it is. There is a huge difference between the words diet and dieting.

Diet: Food and drink considered in terms of its qualities, composition, and its effects on health. in other words every day eating.

Dieting: To select or limit the food one eats to improve one’s physical condition or to lose weight.

Now HERBALIFE is a highly nutritious diet, its about creating good eating habits, I’m not restricted by what I eat although due to their teachings and help from my better body coach Simon Taylor I have learnt that certain foods aren’t as good for you as other. HERBALIFE is all about promoting a good healthy nutritious diet, if you wish to have a slice of white bread with butter then you can, just be aware that the results on your health may not be as good as if you didn’t. This is where other diets like slimming world and weight watchers differ.

Slimming World, Weight Watchers and all those kind of diets are fads, your dieting and it won’t last as your not guided to the right food groups therefore you might end up losing muscle mass over fat reserves, in this instance, once you go back to eating “normally” you end up putting back on what you lost and more in some instances. 

 

Where my nutritional journey started.

Hi Guys, welcome to my blog.

My journey started just three short months ago, I was fed up with doing all these fad diets, I tried them all, I did Slimming World Weight Watchers, Terri Anne 123 and so on. None of these work, not for me anyway.

I was introduced to HERBALIFE via a good friend, i was dubious to start with, I even question it. In the end I just decided to go with it, what could go wrong, no harm in trying i thought. Five months down the line and I’ve never looked back. I have lost almost three stone, several inches and feel much much better. I’m now full of energy and raring to go every morning.

There is also another side to my weight loss and success. HERBALIFE has allowed me to create my own business, I have know started to earn a living and I’m now helping other people do the same thing. My clients are seeing the same success that I have seen before with myself.

If you yourself would like to help yourself and other please feel free to comment below and we can go from there. I will then coach you to see great success.
