Diets Don't Work

I am a true believer that everyone has to find what works for them, we are all different, and there is not one way to do anything.  I also believe that nothing out there is magic, the quick fixes are just what they are, not a permanent, healthy way, just something to get you started.  In saying that, all I am doing in today's blog is giving my opinion.  I am not a doctor or a nutritionist, but anyone can go online today and learn the basics about how to eat right and exercise, it really is not rocket science, but what it really is, is SCIENCE.  So the people that are getting results are the people that are following the directions step by step, not even a little cheating, because if the directions of most things are not followed profusely, then the result is not guaranteed.  The funny thing is in our society we love to blame everyone but ourselves, if we really take responsibility, then we will realize everything we have done in our lives has brought us to the place that we are today.

Oprah has said it on national TV, she has figured out the secret to weight management, its "diet and exercise!"  No fads, or even surgeries are permanent.  Did you know that in liposuction, fat just goes to other places, and in the lap band frenzy people are dying for the quick fix, scary.  The key is forming healthy habits, it takes 21 days to form a habit, so I tell my clients to do their customized program full on for a month and I am there to support.  Some people need bootcamp support others like to just flow with their day and check in.  I really feel when a person is ready, they will commit to themselves, whether I am bootcamp style or not.

I recently had a client that realized that she needed something more drastic and quick fix to boost her system, and I am curious to see how it goes.  I think cleanses and quick starts could motivate someone to keep going, sometimes when the goal is big, people feel frustrated when things are moving slowly.  For myself these lose weight quick diets are very expensive, and do not form healthy habits, and usually cut something essential out.  Even with them, if they are not followed exactly, you will not get results.  A lot of times even if you do get results, you feel hungry, low energy, and like your body is missing something.  Our body needs carbohydrates and good fats, I love to educate my clients on what that means exactly, and the right way to incorporate it into their lifestyle.  Everything works and nothing works, it all depends on a person finding the right fit for them.

I just want to be clear why I represent Herbalife and why it makes sense to me.  I always tell my clients to try it for a month, and if its not for them, no problem.  I love that we are not only a weight management company, but also a Sports Nutrition company, David Beckham and the Galaxy are our clients, Leo Messi is our client, and if its good enough for them, it's definitely good enough for me :)  I also love that we partner with the UCLA School of Nutrition and the only nutrition company to have a Nobel Prize winning Doctor on staff.  I am not a school person, I don't want to learn chemistry, but I love that our whole philosophy is cellular nutrition, everything is made up of cells, so your body gets healthy, and weight loss is just a side effect.  All I know is I feel the best I have felt since starting to have kids, and want to help others feel their best too, I am on my way to looking my best as well :)
