EATING RIGHT AT NIGHT

Eating a balanced diet means that you're taking in a variety of healthy foods at reasonable intervals throughout the day - it doesn't mean that you "balance" healthy foods eaten during the day with junk foods like pizza and ice cream at night.
But for many people, when the sun goes down, so does their willpower. While they can maintain their sensible eating habits during the day, evening often signals the start of an unending food fest until bedtime.
Strange as it may seem, one of the best solutions to controlling your appetite after dark is to eat more often during the daylight hours. Heavy evening snackers often lack a regular eating pattern – one that includes sensible meals combined with healthy and nutritious snacks.
Putting the Myth to RestYou've probably been told that eating late at night is detrimental. But while your calorie needs are lowest during the night, there is no conclusive scientific evidence that the calories ingested at night are stored more efficiently than those eaten at other times.
Eating foods later in the day rather than earlier is not what leads to weight gain – what matters is your daily caloric intake as a whole. No matter when you eat, if you take in more than you need, your body stores any extra calories as fat. Curbing evening snacking habits leads to weight loss simply because fewer calories are being taken in over the course of the day.
Feeding FrenzyWe do tend to eat most of calories late in the day - Americans eat more calories during dinner than at any other meal. And if you tack on the calories eaten after dinner, it really adds up.
There are several reasons these unhealthy patterns are so commonplace. Some people don't eat enough during the day which can cause blood sugar levels to drop. This can make people overly hungry and result in overconsumption at night.
Many people are too busy to plan meals – they may dash out the door in the morning with little more than a cup of coffee, and then try to power through the day without taking time to eat properly. It's no wonder that by the time they get home at night, they're literally out of gas.
Others are simply eating as an emotional escape from stress or to beat boredom. We tend to mindlessly reach for junk food during sedentary activities such as watching television or using the computer – and we then associate these high calorie foods with relaxation and keep the habit going.
Meal Planning and Suitable SnacksPutting in the right fuel – and at the regular intervals during the day – is one of the best defenses against nighttime nibbling. Breakfast and lunch meals should provide plenty of protein to keep your mind sharp and hunger at bay as well as some healthy carbs like fruits, veggies and whole grains to maintain blood sugar. A protein shake with fruit is a great way to start the day – otherwise, try an egg white omelet with fruit, a dish of plain nonfat yogurt with fruit, or a quick bowl of oatmeal with some protein powder stirred in.
protein shake also makes a quick and satisfying lunch, especially when you're too busy to stop and prepare a meal. Other good choices? Try a salad with some grilled chicken or fish, or a turkey sandwich on whole grain bread with some fruit for dessert.
When energy starts to slide in the afternoon, one tactic that works is to have a substantial snack – almost a "second lunch" – between lunch and dinner. A protein shake or bar, a half sandwich, some soy nuts, or a dish of cottage cheese and fruit are all appropriate choices.
By putting more nutritional emphasis on your daytime meals and snacks, it's likely you won't be nearly as hungry at night, so your dinner meal can be lighter and smaller.
The next time you feel like "midnight munching," think about the benefits of a healthy, protein-powered snack earlier in the day. The nutritional difference will be like night and day.

Many of you have asked for my story of how I've lost weight fast and how I'm currently still loosing weight on "this diet?"  Well first of all, it's not a "diet," it's a change in lifestyle.  As a graphic designer with constant projects night after night sitting on the computer + mom of 2 little ones, life became a challenge for me since I simply didn't have time for myself anymore.  I would barely sleep and skipped meals throughout the day because of all the stress and opted to eat as I went.  In a matter of months, without a doubt of realization It wasn't until i visited my sister whom lives out-of-state to ask me, "Val, what happened to you?!?!"  It wasn't until that moment that I truly realized I had to change....not change myself only, but change my family's lifestyle as well.  I learned that I needed to plan and turned to Weight Watcher's where I learned to count my points and bought a bunch of healthy eatting cookbooks in order to turn my fridge around from having just "food" to organic & colorful fruits & veggies.  I proudly do not use oil anymore to fry but rather choose to sautĂ© my veggies, egg whites, and chicken with cooking spray and season with low-salt or no-salt substitutions like Mrs. Dash, Adobo Light, fresh green onions, garlic & Italian herbs and much more.  See below a list of healthy seasonings and condiments.

 How does Herbalife Shakes work with all this?  

Not everyone has the luxury of time to cook a healthy home cooked meal 3 times a day, especially me!  Therefore, instead of skipping breakfast, I chose to bring in Herbalife Shakes into my meals as a meal replacement 2 times a day for a quickstart weight loss in order to get myself motivated.  Everyone needs a big boost in the beginning in order to keep going and feel that they can do it, as long as they feel comfortable doing it.  Herbalife Shakes are a healthy meal with up to 20 vitamins, minerals and essential nutrients.  Along with 9 grams of protein and healthy fiber that helps support weight management.

Below you may find three Herbalife Meal Plans (contact me to find out which one is the right one for you), followed by categorized lists of fruits, veggies, grains, protein meals, and protein snacks along with their according portion size (be strict with your portion size and DO NOT EXCEED IT).










BEFORE USING HERBALIFESKIN


TWO WEEKS AFTER USING HERBALIFESKIN

EAT MORE FRESH FRUITS & VEG

Most people know vegetables are good for them, yet many Australians aren’t eating enough. So why is it recommended adults aim for 5 a day? Vegetables are full of goodness - packed with vitamins, minerals, fibre and antioxidants, with very few kilojoules. Here are some easy ways to boost your vegetable intake:

Buy in season

For fresh produce that’s best quality, taste and price. Download our seasonal calendar here.

Stock frozen and canned vegetables

Frozen and canned vegetables are a great way to add more vegetables to your meals each week. They can be as nutritious as fresh vegetables, plus they are convenient too!

Sneak extra vegies in

For fussy vegetable eaters, hide extra vegetables in recipes.
Add Campbell’s Condensed Tomato Soup to spaghetti bolognaise for a rich tomato flavour and an extra 6 serves of veg per can!
Mix chopped tomato, capsicum, eggplant, zucchini or carrots into casseroles and curries.
Make mince meat go further by adding kidney beans or brown lentils.
Grated zucchini and carrot can work well in rissoles and hamburger patties, as can sweet corn in omelettes.
When you’re next baking, try adding vegetables – pumpkin scones, zucchini and cheese muffins and carrot cake are some ideas to get you started.

Match the vegie to the dish

Some vegies work better in certain dishes than others:

Risotto: Asparagus spears, green peas, pumpkin, mushrooms
Casserole: Carrots, potatoes, onions, tomatoes
Curry: Lentils, green peas, corn, potatoes
Stir Fry: Snow peas, carrot, capsicum
Pasta: Zucchini, eggplant, tomatoes
Roast: Parsnips, swede, sweet potato, beetroot, pumpkin
Barbeque: Mushrooms, capsicum, corn cobs

Putting it into practice:

Aim to fill half your dinner plate with vegetables or salads
This is a simple way to help you reach your recommended 5 serves a day. 

Be adventurous and get to know a new vegetable each week 
Having an assortment of vegetables to choose from will help keep your meals interesting and appealing, but also provide you with a variety of beneficial nutrients. 

Aim to try a new recipe each week
Vegetables don’t need to be dull, they can be delicious! We have some tasty and nutritious recipes to inspire you at home 

Soup is an easy way to eat more vegetables
Campbell’s Country Ladle CafĂ© Style provides up to 2 serves of vegetables per 250g bowl. Serve with some crusty wholegrain bread and you have a deliciously simple, nutritious meal in just 2 and a-half minutes. 

Drink your vegetables 
Why not blend some frozen berries, banana, low fat yoghurt and some V8 for a delicious homemade smoothie? Or simply enjoy a glass at breakfast? A 250mL glass provides at least 1 serve of fruit and 1 serve of veg, with V8 Vegetable Juice providing 3 serves of vegetables!
