How Can We Lose Weight?

How Can We Lose Weight?


Most people would agree that the key to losing weight is eating a healthy diet and getting enough exercise. If it's that simple, then why is weight such a problem in the United States? Why don't we all eat healthy diets and why is it so hard to exercise? Why do some people who try to eat right and exercise still have too much body fat?


First of all, the food that we can buy in the store today is not as healthy for us as it was, say even 20 years ago. If the vitamins and minerals aren't in our food in the first place, then no matter what we try to do with our diet, it's going to have very little effect.

The second problem is that we are busy. We are trying to do more now than ever in the history of the world. We work, we take care of kids, we have houses and cars to care for, friends, spouses, hobbies and then some. Most of us don't have the time to prepare a healthy meal three times per day. Unfortunately the quick alternatives are usually not only low in vitamins, but they are high in fat, cholesterol and carbohydrates.

The third problem is that eating less and exercising more doesn't work for everyone. When you cut your calories too low, your body will slow your metabolism down. When you exercise, your body needs fuel to build muscle. If you exercise without the proper fuel you aren't going to build your muscles or lose weight - your body is going to want to hang on to as much fat as it can, because it thinks you are starving.

What is the solution? A low calorie, low glycemic diet that is high in vitamins, minerals and protein, and easy to prepare. And, a plan that will help you to keep your energy and healthy fuel up, but empty calories low, such as our weight loss products and the Inch Loss plan.

Stress Reduction

Stress Reduction


If you’re an American between the ages of 18 to 49, there's a 1-in-2 chance that you experience everyday stress. In fact, the Centers for Disease Control estimates that 75-90% of all doctor visits are stress-related. It’s important to find a healthy way to deal with stress.

There's no one best way to reduce stress, but here are some thoughts। Continue to eat well, get plenty of rest, and exercise regularly If you haven't tried it yet, Stress Relief Formula is a new product designed to promote a tranquil state of well-being and help relieve feelings of stress. It contains L-Theanine, an amino acid found in green tea and studied for its effect on brain waves associated with a relaxedstate; betasitosterol, found to blunt one of the stress hormones; and L-Tyrosine, an amino acid used to make a brain chemical that may become depleted from exposure to everyday stress. It also contains ashwaganda, a traditional, Ayurvedic herbal adaptogen.You may also want to seek some emotional support from a trained therapist. Just having someone to talk to about your frustrations or worries can help. Regular exercise is important. Try something new like deep breathing and relaxation techniques that are helpful for coping with stress. Remember to keep things in perspective.

Tips for Healthy Weight-loss

Tips for Losing Weight



Here are a few tips for healthy weight loss. You want to be sure that any weight loss program you follow has all of these ingredients for the best weight loss results and for the best health.

1. A weight loss program should not have you reduce your calories too much. For example, a woman of average height should not eat less than 1200 calories per day. What if you eat 1200 calories per day and you are having trouble losing weight? In that case, rather than lowering your calories, you should consider boosting your metabolism with a safe product
3-in1 Boost



2. On a weight loss program that is correctly balanced you should not be hungry all the time. If you are hungry while dieting you may need to increase your protein, improve the nutritional content of your food, drink more water, or increase your activity. You can increase your protein while keeping your calories reduced by the simple addition of a protein meal replacement shake such as the

Our Delicious Shakes

3. You should not feel weak or faint while dieting. If you do feel weak or faint, then you may either have blood sugar problems, or be eating too few calories. (See number 1.) Blood sugar may be helped by nutritional supplements such as

Glucose Regulator

4. Your weight loss program should not have you cut back too drastically on fat. Cutting fat out of your diet can be dangerous. We all want to watch out for bad fats, but did you know that there are good fats and in fact our brain can't function properly without them? Too little good fat in your diet can cause anxiety, depression and many more symptoms. A good source of healthy fats are nuts, fish and of course the easiest way is to take a quality supplement such as

Pure Omega Fatty Acids: Fish Oil

The reason that just cutting down on your food doesn't work is because even if you do lose some weight, you are mostly losing muscle mass along with some fat. Then, as you go back to eating again, you will gain more fat, but you won't get all of your muscle mass back. So after a few times of dieting, your muscle mass is seriously low. Muscles BURN FAT! So you want to keep your muscles.

If you are in doubt about whether you are following a healthy diet plan, go by how you feel. You should feel good, energized and ready to face your day when you wake up. If you are dragging around by 2 then you might need some help. For a great weight loss plan, try our Weigh Loss Plan, and say good-by to the inches with the help of a Shaklee Distributor and full trained expert support:

B Complex: Healthy Hearts, Health Adults, Healthy Babies, and More

Vitamin B Complex

The B vitamins - folic acid, B6, and B12 - promote a healthy cardiovascular system by helping to lower homocysteine levels in the blood.

Adequate amounts of folic acid in healthful diets may reduce a woman's risk of having a child with brain or spinal cord birth defects. Such birth defects, while not widespread, are very serious and can have many causes. High-potency B-Complex from your Shaklee Distributor with Bioactivated Absorbtion System ensures increased folic acid absorbtion that supports healthy DNA replication.

There are eight essential B vitamins and they work best when they work together. Unfortunately, the typical Western diet doesn't provide enough whole grains, leafy green vegetables, and fish needed to provide 100% of the Daily Value.

B-Complex from a Shaklee Distributor gives you the right balance of all the B vitamins you may not be getting in your diet. The eight B vitamins, including biotin, work to:

Promote healthy cardiovascualr systems
Help metabolize energy from carbohydrates, fat and protein
Aid in the synthesis of DNA and new cells

Help for Low Metabolism

When you try to lose weight, what do you do? The first thing most people do is cut calories. Did you know that when you cut calories too low your body lowers your metabolism so that you can keep all your body fat? It's a way that we would survive a famine, which is great, except most of us are trying to lose body fat, not hang on to it. Restricting calories can also cause blood sugar problems, low energy, hunger and cravings for unhealthy snacks.
What can we do?
