Daily Nutrition Shakes

Nutrition shakes are a helpful tool for managing weight and maintaining health. I adore homemade meals using fresh fruits and vegetables. However, most days I start working by 7am and continue working the whole day through – that leaves me with enough time to make one, proper meal at the end of the day, and then squeeze in a few more hours of work.

I began using Herbalife nutritional products about six years ago, and I started with what was then called Herbalife Formula 1, 2, and 3 (components of the Herbalife Shapeworks weightloss and nutrition program at the time). Herbalife Formula 1 is a daily nutritional shake mix. This shake mix combines protein (from soy) and fiber with vitamins and minerals as a healthy meal supplement.

One of the first things you notice when you start taking Herbalife is how different your body feels. Taking the shake mix combined with the Multivitamin Complex (Formula 2) and the Cell Activator (formerly Formula 3), completely jazzes your system, and it’s been part of my daily regimen for years. I have continued using these three, basic components of the Herbalife program because of how good they make me feel.

Fruit Smoothie And Shakes

Fruit smoothie and shakes recipes that help me and others feel fit and healthy, full of energy, and ready to make the most of every opportunity that greets us in life.

When I set out to create Lifestyle Smoothies I new what I like to read, information that is straight to the point, so I don’t have to waist time digging through the rubbish to find a good healthy eating plan. And that’s what you will find in Lifestyle Smoothies. Straight to the point recipes and information about all my favorite smoothie recipes, no long, boring information that you don’t need to know!

My challenge to you is to try each and every one of my smoothies and shakes over the next 30 days. After 30 days look back and see how much your overall fitness and energy levels have shot up, how your motivation has skyrocketed and the opportunities that come along.

I have selected only my favorite smoothies & shakes, so you’re not going to get absolutely every single smoothie that has ever been thought up, you’re just going to get the best combinations, diverse snacks & meals to keep you inspired to live an energized, prosperous lifestyle.

Trying To Manage Your Weight

If you are trying to manage your weight, the Herbalife nutrition products are very helpful. I have Herbalife for one or two of my three meals every day, and this alone helps me maintain a healthy weight. I gained 30-40 pounds in 2004 after finishing school, and subsequently thrashing my ankle in an unfortunate puppy-jogging incident. The transition from spending every day running around campus to almost complete immobility was noticeable both in my physical health, and my overall attitude.

Once I regained my ability to walk around I got back in the garden and began taking two shakes each day plus dinner (and the Formula 2 & 3 with each meal). Rather than pressure myself to “lose pounds” (which I find really frustrating) I tried to adjust my routine to include things that made me happy and kept me moving. Over several months I regained my health and my previous weight. This wasn’t accomplished by taking any “diet pills” meant to make me lose weight quickly – I simply managed my meals, increased my physical activity, and worked steadily on a careful attitude adjustment.

Summer Fruit Smoothies

Making fruit smoothies is a wonderful way to enjoy warm-weather fruits -- they're great for breakfast, cooling off on a hot summer day or welcoming guests as they arrive for a barbecue. Similar in consistency to milk shakes, smoothies are quick, nutritious and amazingly rich at the same time. And kids love smoothies, so they are a perfect way to get them to eat fruit.

Blunders To Avoid on Your Weight Loss Journey

There are times on your weight loss journey when progress can come to a halt. Days or weeks can go by without you seeing movement on the scale, and it can get downright frustrating. After working with thousands of clients, I’ve noticed certain patterns that can cause this weight loss stoppage. Here are 3 of those patterns.

Eating more than you think you are.
Weight Watchers, Jenny Craig, Zone Delivery Service, and other diet systems have one undeniable benefit to them – they define for the average person how large an actual “serving” is. Most of us underestimate the volume of food we eat (and consequently, underestimate the number of calories we consume in a day).

By fixing in your head what a serving size or “portion” of food looks like, we can better estimate (and consequently, evaluate and calibrate) the amount of food we eat at each meal. Keep in mind, when it comes to weight loss, you need to take in less calories than you burn each day.

Two good rules of thumb:
A portion of meat (3 oz.) is the size of a deck of cards.
A portion of carbohydrates (1 cup) is the size of a tennis ball.

Please remember to fill up on non-starchy vegetables – they are full of nutrients, have very little impact on blood sugar, and contain little in the way of calories.

Not Eating Frequently Enough

It is a social custom to eat “three square meals” a day. While this may do for social purposes, for weight loss, you will want to aim for more frequent feedings. It is recommended that you consume a minimum of 5-6 small meals each day. By doing so, your body gets the signal that food is abundant, and there is no need to conserve energy.

Additionally, frequent feedings maximize your metabolism, as your body is constantly busy, burning calories by digesting your meals. By not letting too much time pass between meals, you stabilize blood sugar levels since they never really get the chance to drop. By keeping your blood sugar stable, your hunger levels are minimized, decreasing the chances that you will be tempted to overeat at your next meal.

Choosing To Drink Your Calories

Choosing to drink your calories instead of eating them.
This is a very common problem among those attempting weight loss, due to the abundance of “healthy” diet smoothies, protein concoctions, and weight loss shakes. There are 2 factors to keep in mind when relying on these liquid meal replacements.

First, many of the liquid diet shakes on the market and all fruit smoothies have an abundance of sugar in them. This causes an immediate surge in energy followed by a huge crash due to the release of insulin to control the blood sugar rise. This dramatic shift in blood hormone levels (particularly insulin levels) is something you want to avoid, both for health reasons and for weight loss.

Secondly, most weight loss shakes are devoid of fiber. Fiber is one of your most precious allies when you are dieting. It helps you feel full and blunts the rise in insulin levels when all that sugar hits your bloodstream. While fruit smoothies do contain some of the fiber from the pulp of the fruit, a better strategy would be to eat the actual fruits contained in the smoothie.

Lastly, the amount of calories that can be concentrated into a shake or smoothie is far greater than the equivalent volume of actual food. A 16 oz fruit smoothie may contain as many as 600 calories, and will not fill you up all that much! On the other hand, eating 600 calories of fruit will prove to be much more than the typical person can manage in a single sitting (at least, I personally don’t know anyone that can eat more than 2 pounds of bananas at a single sitting!).
