Springtime!

It has been such a great relief to have the Herbalife products I need back on my shelf, and to feel my puffy body losing fluids and getting back to normal again.  I find this all so fascinating, and of course I don't recommend that a person only live on Herbalife!  Lest I forget to mention this, real food is also a great idea! 

When one is going on the Herbalife weight loss plan, the recommendation is that you use two shakes as a meal replacement (with extra protein powder -- that makes ALL the difference) and then enjoy a healthy, colorful and varied meal, preferably at lunchtime.  Eating later at night is harder on the metabolism.

When you've reached your optimal weight, you can then go on a more normal regime, but keep that one Herbalife shake as a meal replacement, and you should be able to keep a stable weight.  I will say that once we got into the shakes we found them completely pleasurable to drink, and so easy to make that they satisfy us completely.

I've always known protein was important, but I never realized until this last year what a profound difference it made, and how necessary it was in terms of DAILY intake.  If you don't get the protein you need on a consistent basis, you start to crave sugar and carbohydrates, and the weight just piles on -- again.  In my 6 weeks without my favorite protein bars and drinks, I gained five pounds at least.  I'm got them on the run, and I must make sure I have my products on hand!

I never imagined that anything like this could work, and work so well.  I encourage anybody reading this who has difficulties maintaining their proper weight to consider the advantages of Herbalife -- the place where Science meets Nutrition, and they dance together!
