Meal replacement - What and Why?


Meal replacement ideally refers to a compilation of essential ingredients in a powder or bar form that is consumed instead of a meal. By law, meal replacement products must provide the recommended amount of nutrients needed for good health and their composition must conform to the standards set by experts and the law of the country it is manufactured and/or sold. Ideally, a meal replacement product must contain between 200 to 400 calories, at least 25 percent of protein, 23 vitamins and minerals and around 5-6g of fibre. They are supposedly healthier alternative to traditional sugar and fat laden breakfasts and dinners.

Meal replacements are used mostly for effective and quick weight loss, in a healthy way. Long term follow up studies have also suggested that meal replacements may actually help people to maintain their new lower weight. Meal replacement is a convenient option for preparing the food and also reduces the stress of counting the calories in each meal. However, meal replacements are generally priced higher than the traditional food and offer limited variety of flavours.

The happy news about a meal replacements are that none of the research published suggest any adverse side effects on using them. Latest research suggests that people can maintain the weight they lose, providing they receive advice and stick to eating a healthy, balanced diet even after they stop taking the products. Organizations such as National Obesity Forum, the British Dietetic Association and Dietitians in Obesity Management UK, say that meal replacement offer an alternative to other more conventional dietary treatments and may prove beneficial for some people. The meal replacement products take away the pressure of deciding what to eat for two meals each day, and yet allow an element of choice for one meal.

WHY Herbalife?????

WHY NOT????
Do you think before trying out the new milk mix from Horlicks, Bournvita and Boost????
Do you think before loading your cart at the supermarket with the new Mirindaaaa, Coke and Pepsi?????
Do you think before grabbing the special offers with Lays, Bingo and Kurkure????

HEY!!! Then Why "WHY Herbalife"??????

Let's start thinking....

After all this is a much healthier option? That too, without compromising on the taste!!!! And fills your stomach, too!!!!

Just pause to give it a moment....
You believe those advertisements that the company pays for the models to flaunt about the products????
You believe those research results that the model speaks wearing a doctor's coat????
And you DON'T believe the change that you have seen, when that plump friend of yours got much healthier and looks much younger, under your very nose?????

Get thinking....
Don't you think you pay too much for those tiny unhealthy pieces of chips found in those attractive packets????
Don't you spend 1000s of rupees in that eat out of yours????
And you think that Herbalife products are costly????

Try it out for yourself and then decide. The choice is between your willingness to spend those big bucks on prevention, or on treatment of disorders resulting from improper food.

Herbalife also offers one week trial period, where you can have "Healthy Breakfasts" for a week and see the changes in yourself. I am not talking only about weight loss. It is about eating healthy and staying energetic, alert and fit.

Yessss...
My ambition that I had been pursuing for the past two years has been fulfilled....Finally. That jeans that my Sister-in-Law brought for me 2 years back had been my inspiration...a driving force... to take action to manage my weight. It occupied the most prominent position in my wardrobe all these months. Yet...there had been many occasions when I would try it, just to see how much further I need to reduce, only to be discouraged and disappointed.

....And then, Herbalife changed everything. I took it up as my target to get into the jeans and also successfully button it up on my birthday. My daughters have been a great source of encouragement as they cheered and clapped when I would parade in front of them with smaller clothes from my collection. However, my birthday came and I did not try it out, only for the fear of being disappointed on the special day.

Two days after my birthday, when I could afford to get disappointed, I tried the jeans. And Yes!!! I successfully buttoned it up. YAY!!! I must admit that I was not really comfortable in it, but I am also confident that I will be in a week or two. Thanks to Herbalife, my life has changed drastically.

Now, let me be clear about one thing. Herbalife is not a weightloss product, neither it is any kind of medicine. It is a compilation of all the minerals, vitamins, protein, fibre and anything nutritious that a typical dietician would look for in a balanced meal throughout the day. More nutrition and less calories are packed and labelled, waiting to change people's lives. It has changed people's health conditions from bad to good.

There are many meal replacement products in the market. But most of them do not give a personal trainer like Herbalife does. The personal coach is the sponsor or the person who has introduced you to Herbalife. If you do not get proper guidance from them, you can always approach their upline, or anyone from the organization. There is definitely someone who can guide you through your venture towards a healthy and wealthy life.
