CURB YOUR CRAVING!!

Permanently change the way that you respond to your cravings. 

The following may help you manage your cravings:

 

Have breakfast

The first meal of the day really is important, have a Herbalife Shake blended up with some pineapple and cinnamon or some frozen berries - it's delicious. Please ONLY use Soy or Rice milk.

 

Drink more fluid 

Often, you may think that you are hungry for food when in actual fact you may be thirsty. 

 

‘Distraction therapy’

Try to focus on something other than food. For example, you could try to read a book, take a bath or call a friend instead of reaching for unhealthy snacks.

 

Rate your hunger

Before you eat, ask yourself how hungry you really are. Could you manage without that packet of chips? It can take a while between starting to eat and feeling full, so try to eat more slowly.

 

Reducing temptation

Avoid buying some of the unhealthy foods that you find you cannot resist eating. It may be hard to do initially but don’t forget that you are in control of your eating.

 

Consider filling in a food diary for a couple of days

This will help you to identify your daily patterns of eating. Make a note of the food you eat and score your hunger on a scale of 1 to 10 at set times throughout the day. Try noting how you feel before and after eating food. This should help you to identify your reasons for eating, e.g. boredom. Your food diary should help to identify your triggers for eating and therefore help you to find a solution.

 

Make sure you ‘fuel up’ frequently

Eating little and often is really important as it gives us a constant supply of energy throughout the day. Have your snacks at 10 am and 3 pm. Include a protein and a carbohydrate. eg. almonds and an apple or boiled egg and tomato.

Maximise your metabolism

Did you know that the food, exercise, and lifestyle choices you make every day have a significant impact on your metabolism?

·         For example, if you starve yourself (instead of following a sensible fat-loss eating plan) your metabolism will slow down. 

·         If your metabolism slows down, it means your calories out will be less. 

·         That means no more fat loss, and possibly even fat gain.

Here are the top 10 ways to maximize your metabolism,

1. Don’t starve yourself. Cutting calories too much is one of the worst things you can do to your body.  Starving yourself actually causes you to lose much more water weight and muscle than fat.

2. Eat 5-6 small meals per day with an emphasis on lean protein, fruits and vegetables.  You have to have a nutrition plan, so spend time preparing
food for the upcoming week.

3. Eat breakfast.  At the very least, eat a lean protein, drink some Green Tea, and consume a fiber-rich fruit to get your fat loss day started right. Try Herbalife Nutritional Shake for a convenient breakfast on the go. 

4. Eat healthy fats.  Sources of healthy fats include nuts, fish, olive oil and flax oil.  Replace all processed carbohydrates in your diet with almonds. So instead of snacking on crisps, eat almonds.

5. Eat high quality foods that will help you control your blood sugar levels, insulin levels and energy levels.  Insulin management will help you lose
fat and prevent you from gaining fat.

6. Eat 1.14g of protein per 450g of lean body mass.  If you don’t know your lean body mass, then simply eat 1g of protein per 450g of body weight.

7. Limit your alcohol intake.  Alcohol intake can quickly add hundreds of calories and alcohol prevents fat burning.

8. Drink Green Tea and water.  Both of these help prevent decreases in metabolism.  Not to mention they are your 2 healthiest beverage options. A little coffee is fine, and other teas are also healthy. Try Herbalife Thermojetics Green Tea Beverage – you will shrink as you drink! 

9. Stick to a consistent sleep schedule. Don’t stay up all night.  If you work shift work, stick to the rest of these principles as strongly as possible.

10. Exercise. Cardiovascular and strength training with moderately heavy weights will work wonders for you.

How To Detox Your Body

Do you suffer from dull skin or acne?

Have you tried to lose weight but not found success? Are you continually irritable and fatigued all the time?

If this sounds like you then it may be time to detoxify yourbody.

Over the years our body absorbs toxins, heavy metals and fats from the foods that we eat.

Processed, greasy foods and fish are filled with these items.

In order to reverse the side effects, it's necessary to detoxify your body.
There are many pills and supplements on the market today for this purpose.

Another option is to visit a doctor that specializes in colonic procedures.
 

The easiest way to detoxify your body is by sticking to a healthy diet and changing your eating habits.

The first step in detoxifying your body is to remove the old habits of eating foods that are processed or fatty and drinking sugar and caffeine filled beverages.

There are many easy fixes to help your body crave good food instead of bad food. Utilize herbal teas and coffees in place of sodas and regular coffee. Our Herbalife Thermojetics herbal tea is perfect.

Herbal products are specially designed to help your body restore its natural energy source.

After a week of drinking herbal teas, you'll discover your ability to remain energized without caffeine throughout the day has greatly improved.

It is important in any detox program to drink ample amounts of water.  

Water helps flush your system of the waste that is built up.  

It is recommended that a person drink half their body weight in ounces of water each day.

For example, if you weigh 150 pounds then you should drink 75 ounces of water each day. Avoid flavored waters for they are loaded with sugars and artificial flavorings.

For a sweet tooth fix try fruit. Fruits are naturally filled with good sugars.

These good sugars help curb sweet tooth cravings as well as prevent your body from experiencing extreme sugar highs and lows. 

Fruit is the first essential part of detoxifying your body.

Fruit has a high water content which is beneficial in extracting waste from your tissues.

Cranberries, strawberries and blueberries all contain antioxidants which help fight off free radical damage. Bananas and cantaloupe contain many of the essential vitamins we need each day.

Unsalted nuts and seeds are also beneficial while detoxifying your body. Almonds and walnuts offer a natural energy supply for an easy afternoon pick me up snack.

The second essential part of detoxifying your body is to avoid mixing proteins and carbohydrates.  

Replace your regular baked potato with brown rice or pinto beans when you're eating steak.

Enjoy a salad with dark leafy greens while eating grilled chicken.  

While detoxifying your body you should also avoid milk products, gluten products and alcohol.

All of these contain proteins that wreak havoc on your digestive system.

Well, I hope you enjoyed this article and learned a little something along the way.

I personally enjoy a detox every now and again and I encourage you to consider it as well.
