A month with Herbalife

Here I am, back after a month of regular consumption of herbalife shake, protein plus and afresh. And, much, much healthier apart from being about 4 kilograms lighter and 3 centimeters thinner.

Those are the things one is really happy to loose, isn't it? Well, in this month, I had about 4 meals outside as in restaurants and functions. Neither did I deprive myself of my favourite pizzas and sub-sandwiches. The milk shakes kept my sweet-tooth happy. I looked forward for my Breakfast and Dinner Shakes, but my favourite meal had been lunch-time. I had a choice of having a wide variety of things that I often had to avoid during my traditional dieting programs.

In traditional dieting programs, I used to cut and chop a lot of veggies, keep planning for soaking my sprouts and visits to the veggie market. When all those vitamins, fibre and nutrition was in my shake mixes and in the form of tablets, I was sure of getting all the nutrition that I wanted. With this kind of job reduced, I could now concentrate on my kids school work and also nutrition.

Other visible changes in me were a much more toned face, energetic feeling and also much reduced craving. What could be a better example other than having a bottle of 7-up in my fridge and not being attracted to it for about 2 weeks (finally, I finished it up by distributing to my kids and their friends). 

Not that I used to eat everything that I want in unlimited quantities, but the feeling of freedom that I was allowed to eat them kept me on the go. I was much encouraged by my sponsor, who had guided me to get a good nutrition program to reduce my weight. He always told me about various success stories, both product use and business, so that I could also visualize and plan my approach.

This month, I have used the Formula 1 shake, protein plus powder, afresh and cell-u-loss to achieve this kind of a speedy weight loss. I also used to consume a lot of water, about 4 liters per day.

Another thing I realized about this plan is that they do not have any products in India that suppress the appetite. The feeling of fullness is due to the required fiber content and protein content.

Above all, would you believe it if I said I did not do any exercise at all. I just used to go for brisk walks about 3 times a week for half an hour. My calories were spent during my daily routine of being physically active and not by any form of strenuous exercise.
