It is not just losing weight. Our goal should not be just losing weight, but keeping fit for life. below are some tips on how to keep fit for the rest of your life and not to have a yoyo diet
CHANGE YOUR LIFESTYLE. If you’re calling this a “diet,” then you’re going to gain all the weight back (and more) within a few months of losing it. Diets do not work. Diets are temporary. When you change your dietary lifestyle, however, you’re changing your habits – and you’re putting yourself on track for long-term / continued success and weight maintenance. Don’t ever tell anybody you’re on a diet – ever. I’m speaking from experience, here – a reformed low-carber. Worked out well for a while, but ultimately failed because my entire lifestyle didn’t change (permanently).
Eat moderate portions. If you keep portion sizes reasonable, it's easier to eat the foods you want and stay healthy. Did you know the recommended serving of cooked meat is 3 ounces, similar in size to a deck of playing cards? A medium piece of fruit is 1 serving and a cup of pasta equals 2 servings. A pint of ice cream contains 4 servings
REMEBER THAT THE FORK IS NOT A SHOVEL. I eat fast (I swear I can’t help it). Even if I’m not hungry, I want to shovel everything into my mouth in less than a minute. But my brain doesn’t know that my stomach is full until twenty minutes after it actually is. As such, I could stuff myself silly before realizing I didn’t need to consume as much as I did. Try eating half of what’s on your plate, wait ten minutes, then continue to eat if you’re still hungry. You never want to feel full – ever. That’s when you know you’ve eaten too much. If you want a real hunger-stopper, try our hunger control.
FILL UP ON FIBER... You can curb your hunger by increasing your intake of fiber, which is filling, so you feel full but eat less. For these tips, experts recommend eating more fruits, vegetables and wholegrain cereals.. 'Like' us for more tips
SATISFY CRAVING WITH EXTREME PREJUDICE. If you’re hungry for something, eat it. Don’t deny yourself the simple pleasures. If it’s possible, eat only half of what you want. Losing weight shouldn’t be torture for anybody. You have to ask yourself: Is it more important for me to eat this entire case of ice cream, or to look good for my brother’s wedding? Only you have the answer to that question, and if you ignore logic, you’re going to hurt yourself in the long-run.
START READING LABELS. I know it sucks, but you have to do it – and there’s no way to avoid this tip. If you don’t know what you’re putting in your mouth, you’re flying blind. Don’t assume, either – triple-check the ingredients list and serving sizes. You must rely on yourself for this; nobody else is going to be able to lose the weight or do the math for you. It’s not that complicated a task, but it will require effort. If nothing else, just pay attention to the calorie count.
Water makes up about 75% of our bodies and helps flush our systems of waste products and toxins. Yet many people go through life dehydrated—causing tiredness, low energy and headaches. We tend to eat more when our body is dehydrated. Drink up to 8 to 12 glasses of water a day.
Caffeinated beverages, in particular, actually cause the body to lose water. Fresh fruits and vegetables, on the other hand, contain plenty of water and can help with hydration
DID YOU KNOW THAT WHITE BREAD ISN'T GOOD FOR YOU? Diabetic Research has shown that people who eat more refined products (like white bread) are more likely to have belly fat.Your body isn’t getting what it needs. If you want the flavor of white bread, eat the whole grain bread instead.

Top 1 New Year's Resolution Lose Weight
New Year comes and i'm sure Lose Weight is on the list of New Year Resolution. Below are some tips to help you on your New Year Resolution
TAKE BEFORE AND AFTER PHOTOS. I know it sucks to see yourself as a chunky monkey (sorry, that’s what I called myself – if only to get myself motivated to meet my weight loss goal). However, there’s no easier way to illustrate your progress. The “after” photos are far more fun to capture and share, admittedly. It’s good to see yourself how others see you. Do you like how you look?
SET REALISTIC GOALS. You can lose 50 pounds in a week if you work out 12 hours a day and eat nothing but celery – but not if you’re human. Slow and steady wins the race. Don’t bite off more than you can chew – literally. Make small goals on your way to the bigger goal(s). In the end, you’ll have achieved more (and more frequently, might I add).
GO PUBLIC. I didn’t want to admit that I had screwed up, but admitting the problem in public was the first step on the path to eventual success. I was now accountable for my actions, and all my friends knew what I was doing. There was no turning back, otherwise I’d be risk damaging my integrity. I didn’t want to disappoint the people who read me on a regular (or semi-regular) basis. Plus, it’s an easy way to find out which of your friends have gone through the process before – and glean tips from their own experiences. Then, other friends might become inspired to do the same thing you’re doing once they see that you’ve taken the first step.
Enriched grains provide our bodies with essential B vitamins (niacin, thiamine and riboflavin), which collectively help maintain a healthy nervous system and increase energy production, and which may help lower cholesterol
DON'T ALWAYS LISTEN TO YOUR MATE. I’ve already suggested that you tell your family – but sometimes members of your family will try to dissuade you from trying to lose weight. It’s simple: they might not want you to succeed where they may have already failed, whether consciously or inadvertently. Your loss is not always their gain. Watch out for statements like: “You’ve lost enough weight.” or “I like you just the way you are.” Fact of the matter is, if YOU don’t like the way that YOU are – then YOU are going to have to do something about it, no matter what anybody says. They still love you, though (in theory).
AVOID TRANS FATS AND HIGH FRUCTOSE CORN SYRUP. I offer this suggestion for a few reasons. First, they’re not good for you anyway. Second, you’ll eliminate a lot of the “bad foods” outright – no questions asked. You’ll have to become more selective in what you eat by avoiding these two nasty ingredients – which are in more foods than you probably care to know.
STAY POSITIVE!!! .. Don’t say “I’m going to try to lose weight”, but “I will lose weight and feel great.” Be committed to staying on course and making these necessary lifestyle and dietary changes. Weight loss does not have to be overwhelming and difficult. Try to get started with just a few steps of those mentioned ab...ove, so you do not get overwhelmed, then when you can… give the other steps a go...

Essential nutrition for children
Q: Why is good nutrition so important for children?
A: Children need good nutrition because their bodies are growing and developing. Yet many children simply cannot resist the appeal of junk food, like calorie-heavy candy bars and sugar-filled soft drinks. Their diets tend to be high in sugar and starch, depleting their bodies of essential nutrients required for optimal growth and energy. Starting your kids out right with healthy foods that appeal to them develops good eating habits that carry into adulthood.
Q: Do children benefit from vitamin supplements?
A: Absolutely. Even the most nutritionally aware parents cannot be 100% certain what nutrients are in the foods they serve their children. That?s why a good quality multivitamin is necessary to ensure that they are getting the vitamins and minerals they need. For example, Herbalife MultiVites provide iron for healthy red blood cells, as well as the minerals calcium and magnesium, which are crucial for healthy bones, nerves and muscles. MultiVites are also an excellent source of zinc, which is important for normal growth and development.*
Q: Is snacking always bad for children?
A: No. Healthy snacking can be a great way to supplement your child?s nutrition and give them the energy they need when they come home from school or before playing in team sports. Healthy snacks include colorful fruits and vegetables, celery and wholegrain crackers. Additionally, Herbalife Kids Shakes provide essential vitamins, minerals and fiber, as well as 15 grams of protein to satisfy their hunger throughout the day.*
