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 sauté 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.
