Body by Vi - After workout shake!

Really important that you feel the body before and after your workout.

Before a workout you can have a carb shake, just mix your visalus shake mix with fruit juice instead of milk, other milk alternatives. This will give you energy that you need to carry out your workout. 

Make sure you hydrate properly during your workout and drink lots of water, small sips. 

Once your workout is complete, you should have a protein based meal within 30 minutes.  Why 30 minutes, well your muscles that you have been working out need protein to regenerate and guess what, if you don't get protein in your body quickly then your muscles begin to eat themselves, which really does defeat the purpose of you going to the gym and working out in the first place.

Remember muscle burns fat effectively, so if you do not build lean muscle, then your body will find it difficult to burn fat.

Muscle is also heavier, so when you weigh yourself, don't be alarmed if you actually do not see to be losing weight, if you are losing inches, then your programme is working fine, it just means you are gaining lean muscle.

Gaining lean muscle is important as we get older.  When our bodies age, our muscles tend to 'waste' away, and this can again cause man health issues, so ensuring that you tone and build lean muscles is equally as important as losing weight.

Good luck on entering project 10 and wishing you success on the challenge!

Benefits of Nutritional Shakes

 Now I am not ashamed to say I am a Herbalife fan big time. (No, not because of David Beckham!)

Not only do I like their products, I recommend them as part of my nutrition programmes and I use them myself.  Yes I honestly do.

I am constantly being reminded by my clients of the high quality products and ingredients used within them, as they have been known to compare the Herbalife brand with some off the shelf brands.. no names mentioned.

Here is my version of the benefits of having a nutritional meal replacement shake within your current program, even if you are not looking to lose weight.

Weight maintenance
If you are looking to keep your weight at a steady pace, then having one meal replaced by a nutritional shake will help you maintain your calorific intake on a daily basis. Far too often a small snack can turn into the wrong type of fatty or stodgy foods which will only add more calories and fat to your programme rather than helping you to slim down.

I personally use the Herbalife Nutritional Shake Mix for weight maintenance and also use it within my sports nutrition program.  (Did I mention I am going to do a 13 mile half marathon in October?)

Weight Loss

A great way to lose weight is to replace two of your meals with a nutrient and protein rich shake which will have included  much needed vitamins and minerals.  Having a liquid nutritional shake is easier on the digestive system, and puts the nutrients directly back into the blood streams where appropriatel.  Normally it make take a few hours for your food to digest, but with a liquid meal,this aids better indigestion and does not take up as much of your bodies resources.

I lost over 28lbs using Herbalife products over 7 years ago and have not looked back since. 

Weight Gain
Believe it or not there are some people who wish to put on weight and who find it very difficult to do so healthily. Having a nutritional shake on top of having three regular meals a day is a great way to put on healthy weight under guidance from a nutritionist or wellness coach.

Sports Nutrition

 A while back I completed the London Triathalon with a whole bunch of Herbalife Independent Distributors. We were given training on how to use the Herbalife product range to aid us with our sports nutritional needs in order to compete inthe London Triathalon.  Herbalife have a great range of sports nutritional supplements and isotonic drinks to aid your training needs.  LA Galaxy is currently sponsored by Herbalife and more and more sports are looking to nutritional supplementation.


As a healthy fast food!
 If you lead a busy life and are always on the go,then you use the Herbalife Nutritional Shake Mix as a ultimate fast food. Full of vitamins, minerals and filling too, low fat and low calories!

As a pick me up tonic
If you are feeling unwell and are put off your food, having the nutritional shake is ideal to help keep your energy levels up.  Not only are you still getting your vitamins and minerals, but a wholesome nutritional meal.

Now I don't know about you, but there are a whole load of reasons listed above why the Herbalife nutritional shake mix is so flexible and the benefits it can bring to all aspects of your wellbeing is not to be argued.If you want to know more about our products and how to use them, drop me a line at londonfitgirlsclub@gmail.com

Protein Breakfast And Diets

Poached Egg, two slices of honey roast ham, sliced tomatoes
 
Yummy, who says you can't enjoy breakfast if your losing weight!  This is a protein based breakfast which will ensure you don't crave for carbs during the morning.  Just because you are on a weight loss program does not mean you have to eat rabbit food, it's about eating healthy.  This dish is low in fat, high in protein and will help balance out your blood sugars throughout the morning. If you are peckish before lunch have a piece of fruit or a small pot of yoghurt.

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day.  You don't need me to tell you that.  If you don't set your day up properly you will end up eating crap and defeating the purpose of losing weight or improving your health if those are your aims.  Let's look at this logically.  Your body is in a state of repair when we sleep. Therefore a lot is happening and a lot of energy is being used when we 'rest'.  Fuel is needed to ensure the body repairs itself during the state of rest. Your digestive system has to shut down during this period to enable the body to carry out other repair functions, therefore if you eat later than 8pm it is unlikely your body will process the food ingested and therefore it either sits in the gut until your digestive system is switched back on in the morning, or it is stored as 'fat' in the body.  Another reason not to eat late at night!

Most cereals are of no value to our bodies nutritionally, with the exception of wheat based cereals such as weetabix, shredded wheat and bran flakes along with porridge or oats based cereals or muesli which are low glycemic (Low GI) and will slowly release the energy evenly throughout the morning so you don't feel hungry.  You can top these cereals up with fresh fruit as added sugar in a natural way will increase your energy levels.

Really important to note that your breakfast must not be below 200 calories, otherwise you will tend to get hungry in no time and crave the wrong foods.

Strawberries and ??? What's your flavour?

Short Video from LFGC member Colette on the benefits of having a smoothie for breakfast. Aside from being quick and easy to prepare, it is also easier on the digestive system first thing in the morning. Packed with Protein to keep away the hunger pangs, a truly fast food type of breakfast you can take away with you if you are in a hurry....

If you are on a weight loss diet, then having two smoothies like this per day with two to three snacks and a regular meal will aid weight loss, but you must consult your physician first. Also, if you have a lot of weight to lose it is always advisable to contact a qualified nutritionist to work with you.
