FOOD FOR THOUGHT

by David Exon, Wellness & Weight Management Consultant

“IF YOU COULD ONLY OWN ONE CAR . . . AND IT HAD TO LAST YOU YOUR ENTIRE LIFE . . . HOW WOULD YOU LOOK AFTER IT?”

We have all seen 5 year old cars that are very badly rusted, or damaged and nearly ready to be scrapped, and yet we have also seen 80 year old cars that look as good as the day they were built!

"WHY?". . . To me the reason seems obvious!

WE ARE ONLY GIVEN ONE BODY, and just think what we do to it over a lifetime!

‘LIFE IS NOT A DRESS REHEARSAL,
WE ONLY GET ONE CHANCE!’

Remembering that things like Pollution, Pesticides, Preservatives, Additives, Antibiotics in our food, etc. etc. are beyond our control.

The C.S.I.R.O in a recent study found also that over 50% of our soils are Nutritionally depleted. So even when we try to eat well, we are not always getting what we think we are, from our food.

Then when our health finally starts to break down, we say things like . . .

"You have to expect things like this when you get older"
or
"Mum had these problems, so it must be hereditary."

As over 70% of deaths and disease are dietary related, and we usually pick up our eating and cooking habits from our parents, it just stands to reason that the same related problems may occur.

In ‘VERY SIMPLE TERMS’ what our Programs do is . . .

1. UNCLOG, CLEANSE, AND TAKE ALL THE BAD THINGS OUT, WHICH ALLOWS OUR SYSTEM TO REPAIR ITSELF!

2. THIS IN TURN ENABLES THE GOOD THINGS TO BE ABSORBED!

3. THEN SUPPLIES ALL THE GOOD THINGS, IN BALANCE, EVERY DAY!

END RESULT: YOU FEEL REALLY GOOD, REALLY QUICKLY!

IDEALLY, as your entire bloodstream changes every 90 days, best results will be achieved with a ‘90 day commitment to your health’.

THESE NUTRITIONAL PURE FOOD PROGRAMS ARE TOO GOOD NOT TO BE USED SERIOUSLY!

Instructions for Product Use:

Please read the following instructions for taking Cellular Nutrition carefully. Millions of people have enjoyed the benefits of these products and as a result now look slim and feel vigorous. The sooner you begin your program the sooner you can move closer to your health and business goals.

• Take your body measurements and weigh yourself before starting the program. Record the date and date every three days to show your progress.

• Always start the program in the morning within the first 30 minutes after rising. Daily meals should be approximately five hours apart.

• The first few days of the program are very important – follow the program exactly, as this will help you get off to the right start.

• Keep one rule in mind for weight loss: to lose weight you must take in fewer kilojules/calories than you use up; ideally the difference comes out of body fat. Here you can calculate the Calories in food. The Herbalife weight control program is designed so that you take in fewer kilojules than you expend daily in your normal activity levels.

• Depending on your body weight, activity level and metabolism, in general terms a 4176-5720 kilojule diet per day should effect a weight reduction in the average adult.

You simply substitute a delicious ‘shake’ of Formula #1 for each of TWO meals per day and have ONE main meal. With EACH of your three meals you will take your multivitamin and other tablets. Be sure to take the tablets and capsules three times a day. Leaving out any item will only slow down the process.

Persons over 100kilos (220lb) may find that eating only three meals per day is too restrictive a food intake. It is suggested that the main meal be supplemented by an extra ‘shake’ per day (three shakes + one main meal)

When considering a weight control program it is advisable (especially children, pregnant women, nursing mothers, people with kidney problems or insulin dependent diabetes) to consult with your physician to monitor your progress on the program.

How to take your Herbalife Cellular Nutrition on a daily basis:

FORMULA #1: Shake Powder
Mix 2 level dessertspoons of powder with 250ml of liquid for ONE SERVE.

Suggested drink is ½ water with ½ Soy or Rice milk, preferably prepared the night before taking, as this will produce a very smooth and creamy drink, as well as making it fast and simple in the busy mornings to take breakfast and lunch during a busy day. It is simple to make up both your daily shakes 250ml water and 250 ml Soy/Rice milk in one ‘milkshake’ container, and have it premixed and ready to take with you anywhere you go in your busy day.

The shake can also be made with fruit juice or mixed into low fat yoghurt, or stirred into a warm (not boiling) cup-of-soup. A simple one is to simply mix your powder with some Iced Coffee and keep refrigerated.

Whenever you have the time available, it is a delicious change to try out some of the Smoothie Recipes Collection available online here, and in your Herbalife information pack. Try using a blender with different fruits and liquids until you work out what are your favourite blends and recipes.

Do not mix with cow milk as that may cause mucus in your stomach and symptoms of nausea. Should you experience stomach upsets during your first three days of detoxification, simply sip some Aloe Vera Juice for quick relief. Call your Sponsor if your discomfort continues.

FOR WEIGHT LOSS: replace 2 meals per day with the Shake and eat one normal meal + 3 sets of tabs per day / with each meal

FOR WEIGHT GAIN: eat normal 3 meals per day and drink your shake after 2 of the meals + 3 sets of tabs per day / with each meal

FOR HEALTH MAINTENANCE: replace only one meal per day with Shake, eat 2 normal meals. + 3 sets of tabs per day / with each meal

FOR DIABETICS: count the fructose content in your diet allowance, mix the daily 500ml of Shake, but drink it in 4 to 6 small portions throughout the day.

Aloe Vera Juice For cleansing and low immune system
Take Aloe Vera Juice prior to main meal and mix with water or juice to your desired taste. Take from 50 to 150 ml depending on whether your stomach is upset or if you have a chronic fatigue syndrome, ulcers, bowel problems, etc. Helps to calm as well as clean your stomach and intestines as well as speeding up weight loss.

Thermojetics Herbal Instant Drink: for Energy & increased weight loss.
Mix ¼ to 1 teaspoon with hot water, fruit juice, added to your normal tea or coffee, added to your Shake, just about any way, but not in fizzy drinks. For increased weight loss take a drink for: Breakfast, Morning Tea, Lunch and Afternoon Tea. Only drink Thermojetics Tea after 6.30 pm is you require extra sustained energy during the evening.

N.R.G. Tabs & Tea: For Energy & Allergies
Take 2 N.R.G. tablets or a cup of tea prior to breakfast or 1 for breakfast and 1 for lunch. You can take as many of these as are required for increased energy, but it will affect your 30 day supply,

IT IS ESSENTIAL for effective fat elimination and detoxification that you drink 8-12 glasses of 250ml water every day!

Some more about the symptoms to expect when you change your diet. It is unlikely you will experience serious detox symptoms unless you have been constantly dieting or are suffering from toxins or chronic illness and/or medication intake.

BEWARE

WHY do so many people let their dreams die unlived?

One reason is the negative cynical attitudes of other people. These people are not enemies, they are friends, even family members. If our friends are negative towards our dreams or aspirations . . . our friends can kill us.

You get excited about the possibility of a new job, a new idea, or a new image. You decide to give up smoking, lose weight, join a Gymnasium, or see the opportunity to make money, do more meaningful work, rise to a personal challenge, or create a new image; revving up for this stimulating new prospect.

Then you tell your neighbour about it over the back fence one evening, you get a smirk, a laugh that says . . . "You can't do that'' . . . a foot long list of all the problems and obstacles, and fifty reasons why you will never make it and are better off to stay as you are.

Your enthusiasm disintegrates. You lose all your fire and self-confidence and begin to think of all the reasons why you can't make it, instead of the reasons that you can.

Friends can do more damage than a dozen enemies. Remember, the easiest thing to find on earth, is someone to tell you all the things you cannot do or cannot be.

Don't listen to them!

It is always the person who has never made $40,000 a year, who knows all the reasons why you can't make $100,000. Have you noticed that the person who says “You don’t need to shape up or lose weight,” is usually overweight themself?

If you have a dream, give it a chance to happen. Don't let your brother-in-law or your plumber, or the girl in the next office, rob you of that faith in yourself that makes things happen.

Don't let the guy who lives on the couch and watches TV every night tell you how futile life is.

If you have that flame of a dream deep down inside you somewhere, do something about it, and don't let anyone else blow it out.

Believe you can, and you will find you can.

TRY! You will be surprised how many good things can happen to you!

WHAT SYMPTOMS TO EXPECT WHEN YOU IMPROVE YOUR DIET
By Dr. Stanley S. Basse N.D., D.C., Ph C.

If I were asked which is the area of greatest misunderstanding and confusion in the field on nutrition, I would definitely be forced to reply, it is the failure to properly understand and interpret the symptoms and changes which follow the beginning of a better programme.

A better nutritional programme is the introduction of foods of higher quality in place of lower quality ones. The quality of a nutritional programme is also improved by omitting toxic substances such as coffee, tea, chocolate tobacco, salt, pepper, etc.

Remarkable things begin to happen to the body as well as the mind. When the quality of the food coming into the body is of higher quality than the tissues which the body is made up of, the body begins to discard the lower grade materials and tissues to make room for the superior which it uses to make the newer and healthier tissues.

What are the symptoms or signs which become evident when we first begin to omit the lower grade foods and instead introduce superior foods? When the use of a toxin is suddenly stopped, headaches are common and letdown occurs. This is due to the discard by the body of toxins which are transported by the bloodstream during its many bodily rounds. Before the noxious agents reach their final destination for elimination, these irritants register in our consciousness as pain -- headache. Usually, within three days, the symptoms vanish and we feel stronger due to the recuperation which follows.

As one continues on the improved diet and gradually raises the quality, interesting symptoms begin to appear. The body begins a process called "retracing". The cellular intelligence has a chance to get rid of old garbage and build a beautiful new house. The accent is on elimination and the body begins to move garbage deposited in the tissues.

People may experience skin rashes or eruptions due to elimination of poisons and harmful drugs through the skin. If they go to the doctor not familiar with this aspect of nutrition, he might diagnose it as an allergy and suggest the diet be discontinued. They don't understand that the body is "retracing".

The skin is becoming more alive and active. These toxins being discarded are saving you from more serious disease which will result if you keep them in your body too much longer. Possibility: Hepatitis, Kidney Disorders, Blood Disease, Heart Disease, Arthritis, Nerve Degeneration, or even Cancer.

Be happy you're paying your bills now in an easy payment plan. With some, colds may occur, or even fever. THIS IS NATURE'S WAY OF HOUSE CLEANING. Understand that those actions are constructive, even though unpleasant at the moment.

DON'T try to stop these symptoms by the use of certain drugs. These symptoms are part of a curing process. These are not deficiency conditions or allergic reactions.

Symptoms then may include headaches at the beginning, fever and/or colds, skin breakouts, bowel sluggishness, occasional diarrhoea, tiredness, nervousness, irritability, negativity, etc... BEAR WITH IT!

WEIGHT LOSS PLATEAU IS A GOOD SIGN

The first week of a calorie-controlled weight loss diet is easy. The second and third weeks are generally not too hard either... BUT, around the fourth or fifth week, it seems that the scales will not budge for some people!!!

YOU HAVE REACHED YOUR FIRST WEIGHT LOSS PLATEAU! Plateaus (the times when your weight stubbornly stays put) are NORMAL. Of course, plateaus are frustrating - so much so that many people abandon their weight loss efforts.

Surprisingly, however, a plateau is a positive sign. It is a signal from your body that you have lost body fat, but not body weight.

That last statement may sound contradictory. How can someone lose body fat and not lose body weight? Basically, the answer is that in place of the fat you lost, your body now retains water (even though you lost some earlier.) Until the retained water is lost, the scale WILL NOT register your total achievement.

Scales can not tell the difference between weight that is FAT and weight that is WATER. Unfortunately, you can't see inside of yourself either, but, you can learn what is going on and why.

The human body, like the food we eat, is composed of nutrients: protein, carbohydrates, fat, vitamins, minerals and water. If you were a trim 150 pounds, your body would contain about 90 pounds of water, 30 pounds of fat and 30 pounds of all other nutrients. As you can see, you (and everyone else) are mostly "ALL WET". Water is not just in blood, much of the body's water is part of the chemical configuration of cells, tissues and organs.

Muscles, for example, hold considerable water within their structure. Generally, one pound of muscle tissue in the body is associated with four pounds of water. Even fat tissue is about 15% water; so seven pounds of body fat contains about one pound of water.

When you're eating fewer calories than you are burning up, your body must get the energy it needs from somewhere, that somewhere is you. When you lose weight, you are in fact consuming your own fat and protein to get the energy (calories) you need. In effect, you are "eating" yourself.

* During the first few weeks of any weight loss programme, your body tends to use up more body protein in the form of muscle and organ tissue than in later weeks of dieting. As time goes on, your body becomes more selective and relies mainly on fat stores for energy and LESS on the protein tissues essential to body functioning.

When body protein and fat tissues are used for energy, the water associated with those tissues generally hangs around for a while. In other words, you remain "water-logged". THIS IS WHAT ACCOUNTS FOR THE PLATEAU PERIODS. It's like the body resting before it goes down to the next lower weight.

To see the pounds disappear, you may want to assist your body in losing its excess water weight; you can do so by reducing your sodium intake. Try to keep from adding much salt in cooking and don't put a salt shaker on the table. Cut down on condiments, such as: pickles, mustard, ketchup and soy sauce. Instead of salt condiments, try apple sauce, spiced peaches and other fruits to perk up meats. Use lemon, spices and herbs for flavours, but avoid monosodium glutamate (flavour enhancer). Avoid foods canned with salt. Avoid drinking soda water also.

While water fluctuations are frustrating, they are temporary. The true test of dieting success is in the "pinch test", not the scale's numbers game. It is how much real fat you lose, not how much protein and water you lose, that makes for a healthier you!!!

** NOTE ** This does not occur when using a balanced nutritional programme such as Herbalife's Cellular Nutrition range, with all 22 essential Amino Acids.
