Drinks that boost your mood and health

If you are anything like me, you like your comfort food and diet food not too much. The good news is that there is middle ground and the nice thing is that with Herbalife you get the nutrition your body needs and therefore it is not a train-smash if you enjoy something a little (or a lot!) naughty at times.

In order to have your cake (and eat it) – I thought I’d share some of my tricks to make meals higher protein and lower fat and cut the carbs and sugar just a little bit.
Meals

As you know, I replace 2 of my meals with a protein shake with added protein powder.  Remember, the more fat you need to lose, the more protein you need. In our FREE wellness consultation, we reveal your individual protein factor so that you know exactly how much protein you should consume every day.

Chickpeas are also a healthy and tasty replacement for bread on the side of salad or croutons inside a salad (yes, I know it’s nice, but try this – I promise you will feel so much better!). Alternatively, you could try making a delicious chickpea casserole (I better post my recipe!). Or mash them with some sesame paste for a delicious spread on low-GI crackers.
Sweets

I don’t enjoy fruit too much, but I love sweets. However, I don’t feel too good physically after eating sweets. My solution? Raisins and fruit lollies – and lately I have been HOOKED! Yes, they are sugar laden – but I only manage to eat a handful of raisins and 1-2 of the fruit lollies before having to have the bag forcibly removed. It is so sweet, but it is too nice to stop… And it’s a little healthier than chocolates and candies.

Drinks

Some of my friends are coffee addicts. They literally can’t function without it. Although some don’t add sugar and milk (which is good from a weight loss perspective), the caffeine is not good. Basically, apart from the short-lived energized feeling it gives you – there is no other benefit.

Instead, we would recommend a delicious herbal beverage with green tea extracts? It works as a natural diuretic and helps to detox your system. It will boost your energy levels too and burn fat at the same time.It is instant and comes in a small bottle that easily fits in your purse and lasts all month.

Don’t like the foggy feeling coffee or other caffeinated drinks leave in your head? Try nature’s raw guarana for improved mental alertness and focus.

Energy drink fan? Most energy drinks and effervescent are sugar and caffeine laden. The dangers are published in magazines and online, but still we take them. Instead, try LiftOff!

It contains an exclusive blend of taurine, guarana and vitamins to help detox and energize you anytime, anywhere. Comes in 2 delicious flavors.

 

 

With these tips there is no reason to consume harmful beverages that make you feel worse rather than better.
