 Holiday Eating Survival Guide
Congratulations! You’ve been following one of Herbalife’s
Thermojetics® Weight-Management Programs and you’ve
lost weight and gained more energy. Now that the holidays
are here, you may be wondering how to keep on track or
maintain your success. With Herbalife, it’s easy !
According to government statistics, more than
half of all adult Americans are overweight, and
this excess weight is a major contributor to
heart disease, diabetes and other serious
health problems. In studying holiday weight
gain, researchers discovered that only two
factors significantly influence weight gain: level
of hunger and level of activity. By staying active
and not starving yourself, you stand the best
chance of surviving the season of succulent
treats.
Accentuate the Positive
Don’t think of your weight-loss program as
restrictive. Instead, look forward to mealtimes
and holiday celebrations. Just because you’re
eating smarter doesn’t mean you should feel
like you’re suffering or giving something up.
Besides, food and drink are meant to be
enjoyed!
Just Say Yes
If you’re following the Thermojetics® Green
Weight-Management Program, you can enjoy a
wide variety of holiday treats. Just watch the
portions and keep ’em small. Have “just a
taste” if you have to. For those following the
Thermojetics® Gold High-Protein, Low-Carb
Program, there are lots of food options
available. For example, meats and cheeses
make up a lot of holiday platters, and they are,
for the most part, permissible.
Also, before going out to celebrate, eat a
small meal to make sure you’re not hungry.
Enjoy an Herbalife healthy snack such as
Thermojetics® High-Protein, Low-Carb Protein
Bars, High-Protein, Low-Carb Protein Soup or Roasted Soy Nuts. You
can also find many recipes suitable for holiday
entertaining in Herbalife Today Magazine. Go a head and
have fun this holiday
season, and be good to
yourself.
Dr. May, Chairman of
Herbalife’s Medical
Advisory Board,
offers these wise words
for holiday survival:
- For low calorie cocktails–the best is sparkling
mineral water. An alternative is a “virgin” mary. If
you must have alcohol, try a wine spritzer.
- Always hold your drink in your dominant hand, which
makes lifting food from the buffet table much less likely.
- One daily indulgence, not a “day of indulgence.”
- Try Herbalife products for healthy snacking. Cut
Thermojetics® Gold High-Protein, Low-Carb Protein
Bars into sixths. Freeze to make bite-sized, delicious
“candy” snacks for your table.
- Choose between an alcoholic beverage, a dessert or
a “sinful” main course instead of indulging in all three.
- Consider tasty, low-fat, low-calorie appetizers or
finger foods: vegetable crudites with salsa or shrimp
with cocktail sauce are festive and healthful.
- Consider Thermojetics® Roasted
Soy Nuts with your Herbalife
beverages.
- You can also indulge in
almonds, pecans and walnuts.
They’re tasty and they contain
healthy monounsaturated fats,
which are good for reducing the
levels of bad LDL cholesterol while
maintaining the level of healthy
HDL cholesterols.
- Increase your activities, such as
outdoor sports, strolling in the park,
doing your shopping on foot, doing
holiday cleaning and lots of dancing.
- Healthy and low-calorie desserts:
Angel food cake is better than
fruitcake. A baked apple is better
than apple pie, fruit is preferable
to ice cream, and you can
make terrific smoothies with the
Thermojetics® Formula 1 Protein or Gold High-Protein, Low-Carb Shakes and Performance Protein Powder.
