Herbal Weight Control focuses on Herbalife wellness and weight loss products, many of which - such as

Formula 1

and Formula 3

can be used either, in conjunction with a weight loss programme, to achieve your weight loss goals or to boost sports performance when used as pre-race/training fuel (Formula 1) or for post training/race recovery (Formula 3). The common link is that both those wanting to lose weight and athletes training at a high level can benefit from a higher intake of lean protein. Increased protein intake inhibits hunger pangs and the need to reach for some crisps or sweets, it also aids tired muscles to recover from strenuous excersise.

Excercise also plays a key part in weight loss programmes. Whether you're just starting an excercise programme or you're already a serious athlete training for specific events, Herbalife's H30 Pro isotonic sports drink can help you through a gym workout, a training session or a sporting event.

My new website - www.sport-nutrition-supplements.com is now online. The aim is to bring together Herbalife sports nutrition products, centering around H3O Pro isotonic drink, under one umbrella site to cater for the needs of endurance athletes - cyclists, triathletes, runners - although many Herbalife supplements will have wider appeal for those simply wanting to improve their health and well-being.

Soaring Diabetes rates in Britain linked to obesity

Once again we're reminded of the link between obesity and ill health. The Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health has recently issued a report linking a phenomenal rise in Diabetes rates between 1997 and 2003 with the growing obesity epidemic in the British population. Read more on the BBC website here.

Herbalife offers many nutritional products to aid weight loss. The most popular are the 'Shapeworks' Formula 1 healthy meal replacements which can be used to substitute up to 2 meals a day with a protein and vitamin-rich shake that is satisfying and filling but low in calories.

All Herbalife products should be used in conjunction with a balanced diet that includes a mix of fresh unprocessed foods.

After three weeks of freezing weather during which I've only managed a few medium length training rides (60 miles maximium) with cross-training/weight-training sessions at the gym to keep me in some sort of shape, yesterday saw my first true long distance endurance ride with my local cycling club - Abbotsford Park R.C. (www.abbots.org) through very muddy Cheshire lanes. All-in-all from South Manchester out to beyond Beeston Castle with a stop for lunch at the Ice Cream Farm, Huxley I managed almost exactly 95 miles.

  There are several Herbalife products specifically formulated to enhance sports performance. At present I'm using Formula 3 for post exercise recovery. I'm now starting to use H3OPro for to aid performance during training - such as yesterday's effort(!) or in sports events.

Other Herbalife products that can be used by sports men/women and athletes are:-  Formula 1 which can be used either for weight control or for extra pre-event nutrition when time is limited or when a low calorie nutritional supplement is desired. 

Protein Bars and Roasted Soybeans - these are useful during training or events to prevent hunger 'knock' or for those wanting to guard against weight gain but still reward themselves with a snack.

Lift-Off is another aid to boosting energy during training, containing a blend of L-taurine, guarana, caffeine, Panax ginseng and Ginkgo biloba clinically proven to enhance mental performance and boost energy.

Obesity in the News

We're barely into the New Year yet and the subject of obesity is already hitting the headlines. According to this BBC online article, the government has initiated a healthy living campaign which will be using the national media to promote healthy lifestyles. A government commissioned Foresite report is quoted as predicting that 'by 2050 90% of today's children will be overweight or obese.'

Herbalife's products are based around the concept of 'Wellness' and don't just aid weight-loss but can be used to promote general well-being and energy as well as providing supplementary nutrition for sporting activities.
