Snack Attack!

Need to Lose Weight? 

Watch out for the snack attacks. It is very easy to justify what you eat when you are snacking. When you are exercising sometimes you may think it's ok to eat more in a snack because you will work it all off. A peanut butter cup here, a few chips there, something small, no real harm done right?

The problem is those are not healthy snacks even if you are exercising, you could still be putting yourself and your weight loss at risk. If you ever stop exercising you will still have those old eating habits, you will gain your weight back and once you gain your weight back, there is a good chance you will gain more then you had originally lost.

It's ok to " cheat" once in a while but make sure you are not doing this everyday. Its a really bad habit to get into and you may just start to open the door for more unhealthy eating at meal time. Even worse if you a re trying to lose weight those empty calories are replacing any that you would have lost.

Try to find snacks that you really do like but that are healthier for you. If you like to eat cookies try granola bars, the flavors and brands have drastically changed over the years and you can now get fairly healthy granola bars that you will actually like.

Yogurt is another good choice. Often, fruits or vegetables don't sound appealing but once you begin to eat them you realize how tasty they really are and what a great satisfying snack they make. Making good snack choices now will help you lose more weight keep it off in the future.




If you need help with your diet, Herbalife offers several weight loss programs and snack foods that can help you lose the weight, getting your body good nutrition and we even have tasty good for you snacks to curb your appetite when your having a hard time.

Fish Oil for Fitness and Health

You may know by now that there are good fats and bad fats. There are fats to avoid and fats to include in your diet for your health. Good fats-essential fatty acids should be included in your daily diet.

Essential fatty acids are divided into two families: omega-6 EFAs and omega-3 EFAS. Omega-3 EFAs. Omega-6 EFAs can be found in vegetable oils while omega-3 EFAs can be found in fish oils among other foods.

Omega-6 vs. Omega-3


Many scientists and physicians believe the imbalance in our intake of Omega 6 and Omega 3's are the cause of many diseases and illness.

Omega-6 EFAs are found in vegetable oils. This includes oils like corn oil and soy oil, both of which contains high amounts of linoleic acid. Omega-3 EFAs on the other hand are found in marine plankton and walnut oil and flaxseed oils.

It is important to also note that fatty fish and fish oils contain eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), fatty acids that have been observed to provide many benefits to the human body. In the early 1970’s, a study on Greenland Eskimos have revealed that one of the main reasons they rarely suffer from heart diseases can be attributed to their high-fat diet, mainly fish. As you can see all fats are not created equally.

The two essential fatty acids, EPA and DHA, may also aid in preventing heart attacks, atherosclerosis, depression and various forms of cancer. Fish oil supplemented food have also proven to be useful in illnesses like diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, Raynaud’s disease and ulcerative colitis.


Naturally, it’s in our best interests to keep our hearts happy and healthy and one way of doing that is eating foods or supplements that contains fish oil.

Consuming fish oils may also help your body help itself to:

Green Tea Weight Loss

Green Tea Weight Loss


Many people are now turning to natural green tea weight loss plans to help them in their weight control efforts. It is simple too. Green tea can be taken like any other tea, hot or cold, usually without milk or sweeteners.

Research has shown that green tea helps to reduce weight by stimulating the body's thermogenesis process, which increases the expenditure of energy and the oxidization of fat in the body. Many compounds found in plants have this effect.

There are only two ways to lose weight: one way is by eating less (consuming fewer calories) and the other is by increasing expenditure of energy (using up more calories). Green tea works by increasing output.

Green tea has the added benefit of containing powerful antioxidants that may be beneficial to your health in many ways, strengthening the immune system and protecting against disease.
At the same time you will need to exercise control in what you eat. If you eat more to compensate for the calories that are burnt by the tea, you will not lose any weight.

Keeping to the same calorific intake that you have now. Taking green tea should result in gradual weight loss and better energy levels over a few weeks. You can of course increase the speed of this by reducing calorie consumption and/or increasing exercise.

Green tea is a great weight control aid that can easily be incorporated into any weight loss program. Natural green tea should be a feature in your program if you want to keep the weight off permanently.
