Foods That Burn Fat

Get excited! You are about to learn about some amazing foods that can help you burn fat and also make you healthier!

Everybody wants healthy foods that can melt away belly flab, but is that really possible? Believe it or not there are actually foods that have certain properties that can boost your metabolism to burn more calories and fat. Lets start with some metabolism boosters.

"Peppers."

Peppers don't have that spicy image for nothing. This vegetable is an excellent way to spice up otherwise bland dishes. Peppers come in a beautiful array of colors and shapes. They add flavor, color, and crunch to many low-calorie dishes. Jalapeno, cayenne , Habaneros and Red Peppers will all jump start your metabolism so that your body will burn fat faster so you lose weight faster, sometimes as much as 25% faster. Both hot and sweet peppers contain substances that have been shown to increase the body's heat production and oxygen consumption for about 20 minutes after eating. This is great news; it means your body is burning extra calories, which helps weight loss.

"Avocados."

Many individuals are at first stunned when learning that one of the best foods for weight loss is avocado. Avocados are the perfect fat burning food because they are high in fiber (11 to 17 grams for each Avocado) and that helps you feel full longer. They also contain monounsaturated fats and there are recent studies that show that mono-unsaturated fats target and reduce belly fat. Additionally, mono-saturated fats trigger the release of the hormones in your body that are responsible for burning fat. Add avocado to your salads, but remember to consume in moderation. Since fat has twice the energy of protein or carbs, the trick with avocado, as with all good fats is to eat smaller portions of them. Limit your avocado consumption to 1/4 to 1/2 avocado at a time.

"Brussel Sprouts."

Brussels Sprouts have been shown to provide the benefit of accelerating the function of your pancreas which results in the release of hormones that have a cleaning effect on your cells. Brussels sprouts are considered by many to be a super food. Brussels sprouts are very low in calories and their detoxification benefits will assist you in losing weight. Brussels Sprouts have been associated with the prevention of many cancers including bladder cancer, breast cancer, colon cancer, lung cancer, prostate cancer, and ovarian cancer. Steamed Brussels sprouts are a great addition to a healthy fat burning eating plan.

"Carrots."

Did you know that you can burn fats just by crunching on a few carrot sticks? Carrots have a wide range of nutritional and health benefits that not only keep your system healthy and well-functioning but also help stave off additional fats and keep your body slim. Carrots also have very few calories so when they are being digested by the body, a lot more calories are used to break down the carrots as compared to the calories that are in the carrots. Carrots contain carotene which turn into Vitamin A and vitamin A helps initiate the fat burning response in your body. They are also very high in fiber are very low in fat and calories. They also help eliminate waste quickly and help to reduce cravings for sweets.

"Beets(Beetroot)."

The beet is a root vegetable similar to its turnip cousin. Beets are a good addition to your weight-loss program because they contain no fat. A powerhouse of vitamins and minerals, beets help maintain a healthy energized body beneficial to your diet. Beets may assist your weight-loss by lowering cholesterol due to their high fiber content Beets are also a powerful diuretic that have the ability to rid your body of hanging body fats while also purifying blood corpuscles that can control fat sediments. Because of these diuretic properties beets can help you flush out floating body fats. They also contain a special iron that helps to cleanses corpuscles, corpuscles are blood cells that contain fat deposits. Additionally beets contain chlorine that helps stimulate your lymph glands to further eliminate fatty deposits.

"Cabbage."

When it comes to weight loss, there might be something special about cabbage besides its low calorie count. Cabbage, a cruciferous vegetable, contains a compound called glucosinolate, which may protect the body from several different cancers, according to the Pennington Biomedical Research Center. It is possible that glucosinolate promotes weight loss, along with greater endurance when exercising. Glucosinolate spurs the body to use additional fat for fuel, which keeps energy levels steady and extra weight off of your hips. Other cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli, Brussels sprouts and cauliflower also provide Glucosinolate. So Can cabbage help weight loss? The simple answer is yes, There is no doubt about it. Cabbage in all its varieties is a vegetable that requires more calories to digest than is contained within the food. The sulfur and iodine content of cabbage can assist in melting down fat in your stomach and waistline areas. .

A Diet of Excellence

The food you eat today will determine your health tomorrow (and far off into the future). "Sooner or later, we all must sit at a banquet of consequences,"

observed Robert Louis Stevenson. Actions drive results. Always. 

Congratulations! Your lifelong wellness plan starts today. If you are enjoying the Herbalife Products then you are definitely on your way to healthier living and more energy than you can imagine.

Good nutrition is vital to wellness and enhances the overall quality of life. Unfortunately, our busy lifestyles don't support the healthy choices that can prevent all sorts of health challanges in later years. Today most people are not getting enough nutrients that science considers neccessary for optimal health in terms of diet and excercise.

South African eating patterns have shifted over the last 40 years and the average amount of calories consumed by the average South African has increased by 12%. This increase in fat consumption will influence the emergence of chronic diseases.

The South African Medical Research council has found that more than half of South Africans are currently dying of chronic diseases and are doing so before the age of 65. Seventy Percent of the reason we visit doctors (migraines, hypertension (high blood pressure), diabetes, high cholesterol or cancer) is nutrition related.

Lifestyle changes such as good nutrition and exercise can really improve your health.

I am excited to be able to share our life-changing wellness products with you. All our products are herbal and natural and If taken as directed, they will nourish your body, helping you reach your optimal weight and give you loads of energy.

Your Herbalife Newsletter – 18th July

My back ground is a Pilates Instructor. By October 2011 I was very frustrated. At that time I was spending 60 minutes per day on the cardio equipment at the gym 4 times per week. I was exhausted after each session and had to drag myself forth with the little energy I had left.

What frustrated me most was the fact that the kilograms increased week by week and even more clothes in my cupboard didn't fit any more in spite of my heavy exercise program. A friend suggested that I start with the Herbalife Nutritional program. My daily eating plan and exercise program were also adjusted.

I started to replace breakfast and lunch with a Herbalife Nutritional shake and was amazed that I did not feel hungry at all. It also stabilized my energy levels throughout the day. I had energy and felt motivated again to exercise and it didn't feel as though I had been drained after each session.

After 10 weeks I had lost 6kg and my fat percentage lowered with 5%. I could see the kilograms and cm's decrease week after week. I have now lost a total of 10Kg.

Questions and answers

Prepared by Dr. David Katzin, M.D., Ph.D.

Herbalife Nutrition Advisory Board

1. What is the Herbalife Weight Control Programme?

The Herbalife Weight Control Programme is a scientifically formulated, herbal-based, kilojoule-reduced nutrition programme. It is centered around our unique protein-rich, nutrition “shake” or meal replacement drink together with added food supplements containing important minerals, essential fatty acids and herbs. The Herbalife programme has been used for weight control since 1980 by literally millions of individuals around the world. The programme aids weight control as part of a kilojoule controlled diet.

2. Do you lose weight because you skip meals?

No. Herbalife’s kilojoule-reduced programme encourages participants to eat three meals a day. Two meals are in the form of our nutritional meal replacement drink, and the third is any meal of your choice. Diets which require people to skip meals are unhealthy and encourage binge eating.

3. Is the Herbalife Programme a “liquid protein” or starvation diet?

Definitely not! The Herbalife programme is neither of these. Our programme is nutritionally balanced so individuals can lose weight safely and effectively, and, just as important keep the weight off. “Liquid protein” diets, which are nutritionally unbalanced protein-base drinks, or starvation diets, which reduce kilojoules so low (less than 2 500 kilojoules daily) that people literally starve to lose weight, are both extremely unhealthy and have a minimal long term success.

4. How does the Herbalife Programme work?

Herbalife’s recommended programme and meal plan supplies all the balanced nutrition the body needs on a daily basis. Individuals, who choose to, can lose excess weight by reducing excess kilojoules without sacrificing important nutrients like protein and iron. As a result, they feel well while they lose both excess weight and centimetres.

5. Is the Herbalife Programme “natural”?

The Herbalife Programme is based entirely on balanced nutrition. The programme does not use drugs, medications, hormones, or other synthetic agents. All ingredients in the Herbalife programme must fulfil three important conditions: purity, potency and stability. This is how we maintain the high level of quality associated with the Herbalife name.

6. What keeps you feeling energetic?

The energy effects of the Herbalife programme are the result of its scientifically balanced nutrition system. No artificial stimulants are used in the Herbalife programme.

7. Are the vitamin levels high? Are they safe?

The levels of vitamins and minerals in all Herbalife formulas are carefully designed to assist individuals consuming them to maintain good health. All of our formulas are developed to help achieve optimum nutrition. In formulating Herbalife products we have taken special care to assure that vitamin levels are completely safe and never lead to accumulation, even when consumed together with a diet rich in other nutrients.

8. What do the herbs do and are they safe?

Herbs are nature’s bounty. The Herbal mixtures used in Herbalife products have been created by experts to maximise potency. The herbs are among the highest quality available anywhere in the world and are free of pesticide residues and other possible contaminants. Tablet preparation of the herbal mixtures occurs under strict quality control to assure purity and safety.

9. Does the Herbalife Weight Control Programme comply with regulations?

Yes. All the Herbalife products meet the requirements for each country in which they are sold. In 1986 the U.S. Food and Drug Administration thoroughly evaluated the Herbalife programme and issued a statement declaring that all of the Herbalife products were safe. In addition, wherever Herbalife is introduced into a new country it is legally reviewed before it is approved for importation and distribution.

10. Has the Herbalife Programme been tested?

Absolutely. The Herbalife Programme has had clinical testing in the United States, Asia and Europe. Students have demonstrated that Herbalife products are both safe and effective. In addition, each batch of Herbalife products is quality control tested to ensure product integrity before it is shipped anywhere in the world.

11. Do Herbalife Distributors require professional training?

No. The Herbalife Weight Control Programme has been specifically designed by experts and doctors in the fields of food technology and nutritional science so that it is completely self explanatory and therefore does not require or expect nutrition expertise on the part of its Distributors. However, the Herbalife Nutrition Advisory Board offers its Distributors extensive nutritional education available in the form of literature and seminars.

12. Does the Herbalife Programme help to change eating habits?

The Herbalife Programme promotes good nutritional habits like reducing fat, fried food, salt and sugar in the diet, and increasing fibre and complex carbohydrates. Most important, Herbalife advises individuals how to achieve and maintain an ideal weight. It is a lifetime health support programme.

13. Is exercise part of the Herbalife Programme?

Herbalife encourages participants to follow a healthy lifestyle that includes good nutrition, regular exercise, moderation in the use of alcohol and avoiding tobacco use. The Herbalife Programme works even if individuals do not or cannot exercise because of serious injuries or other health problems. Even these people can use the Herbalife Programme to lose weight successfully.

14. Is there enough fluid and fibre in the Herbalife Programme?

Yes. When followed as recommended, the Herbalife Programme provides adequate liquid and fibre. This is more than is found in the average diet of industrialized countries, and is the level recommended by health authorities. Supplemental fibre tablets are available for those who wish to increase their daily intake further.

15. Is the Herbalife Programme recommended by Doctors?

Absolutely. Herbalife has a Nutrition Advisory Board that tests and researches Herbalife products and continually monitors reports of results sent in by customers and Distributors. In addition, many physicians and other health professionals around the world use Herbalife both in their personal lives and in their practices.
