How to get in shape for Xmas? And stay in shape?!

With  Xmas a few weeks away here are some tips on how to get in shape for xmas and for existing customers how to maintain your weight during the holidays. And some ideas for the New Year.

1. Achieve your best shape! Replace a high-calorie meal with a delicious, nutrient dense shake. Get started  Keeps you going for longer!  What helps control appetite? Ans: protein, fibre and nutrients? What deficiencies are there in the typical diet the same 3. The Quick Start Programme contains them all. What are your challenges? - Is this you?
2. Think plant protein as well animal protein. That's the shake and plant protein based snacks such Herbalife Protein Bars and almonds.
3. Find alternatives to the carb based snacks (cereal bars, rice cakes, biscuits, crisps etc.) which cause swings in blood sugar and energy levels. Carb snacks will spike insulin release from the pancreas and direct your body to store the calories as fat. Get a balance of snacks between fruit, protein (boiled egg, plain yogurt, nuts, mini frittatas, Herbalife Protein Bars, Herbalife Soy Nuts and Herbalife soup) and vegetable (raw carrots, peppers with hummus). Ideally get protein into every snack, for example have 4 almonds with an apple, greek yogurt with fruit. Contact us for the full list of snacks which wont spike your insulin levels.

1. Maintain Your Progress - Set a goal for maintaining your weight over Xmas and the New year. Don't undo all the great work done so far.
2. Take your protein shake for breakfast so as to take the edge off your appetite for the rest of the day. Protein controls your appetite over the long term compared to fast releasing carbohydrates.
3. Come prepared -  Drinking a mini shake before a potentially diet-busting dinner, party or holiday celebration may save hundreds of calories. Protein helps to switch off hunger signals in our brain quickly. Having protein before other foods can help blunt your appetite!  A little advance planning may make all the difference between maintaining your diet over xmas rather than reversing the progress made to date. have some protein snacks to hand in the car. e.g. almonds and Herbalife Protein Bars
