Dr Luigi's Tips (1)

Dr Luigi Gratton M.D., as Vice President of Medical Affairs and Education, coordinates the strategic management of Herbalife's Nutrition Advisory Board to ensure Distributors have a thorough understanding of products, ingredients and their benefits. In addition, he manages the day-to-day operations of the Medical Affairs and Education Department, assuring all Distributor and medical inquiries receive a quick and accurate response.

An extra role Dr Luigi recently acquired was as the Nutrition Expert Coach for the LA Galaxy football players, (including David Beckham), so he also advises them on their nutrition, and of course ensures their use of Herbalife products is done the correct way for their athletic performance.

And of course, as I myself have witnessed at 4 major Herbalife Asia events, Dr Luigi drives the women crazy, he is also very athletic and in the words of the fairer sex, "he is very handsome", (I modified the quote a little, as the original content was too explicit!), anyway at least once a year he will travel to Asia, (Malaysia included), to teach us all how to be healthier people.

Please enjoy some of the below images & tips shared by Dr Luigi:

The Lack of Good Nutrition & Poor Lifestyle Choices!

How come after all the major breakthroughs in Scientific Technology, Medications, Hospital Treatments, the world continues to become sicker,fatter, more tired and more unhealthy?

Here are some diagrams, that can partly answer most of that question:




Due to Globalisation, and the American Dream re-interpreted & spilled out all over the world, the result has seen, a human task force almost completely dependant on computers and sitting down in offices, with the ever increasing propensity to use certain methods of transportation, as opposed to physical movement, and then of course, watching TV, (before, during and after dinner), and finally, eating too much amounts of food, snacks & sugary beverages. Welcome to "Globesity" Age.



In this next diagram, you can see the amount of nutrients allocated to each vegetable/fruit, and how, over these last 20 years, this level of nutrients has had unbelievable & scary decreases! This is all mainly due to the methods applied in today's agriculture, followed by transportation, refrigeration, conservation, even processing. So even with the so called "healthy foods", you must question what actually is and what is not the best for your body.

In the next diagram:

(Upper Arc) Most people give to their body too much of the things that are not good, and as a result, (Lower Arc), their bodies do not get enough of what it should be getting!

Since the year our company started (1980), the scary statistics of all the diet & poor lifestyle related illnesses, (Diabetes, Stroke, Heart Problems, Cancer) are not just increasing, but year in, year out, these numbers are leaping up huge %'s.

Herbalife does have a solution, that has withstood the test of time, and will provide everyone with all the cellular nutrition that their body needs on a daily basis!

It’s a trip, you know? When you’re a kid, you-you see the life you want, and it never crosses your mind that it’s not gonna turn out that way.  ~ Love and Basketball
New Flash:  You can have everything you ever desired.  You just have to believe that you do deserve it and can have it.   Trust me – You DO DESERVE IT.


It drives me insane how people can let their self-worth go before anything else, and its even scarier to see the results of this lack of self-awareness.  Many people lack the slef- confidence to believe that they do reserve to have a great life.  Health and Wellness is not only about looking and feeling great. It’s also about instiling a notion a hope and belief that you can achieve everything you ever desired.  You can it all and You deserve it all!!
OMG Check out Michael Burton!  He went from 50lbs overweight to achieving his life-long dream of being a profressional bodybuilder!

I am committed to you!!  To getting you amazing results with your health, but when Im not around, its that belief in yourself that will keep you going to reaching the dreams you always had.  I believe in you and I’m not leaving you until you believe it too!

Goals are a huge priority of any accomplishment. Without a clear direction you will not know how to get to where you want. The rich are rich because they have time. However, you do not need money to have time. You need desire and confidence that you can get rich from life rather than live richly!

I look forward to helping you regain your life!

No More Excuses

We understand there are concerns with starting out on your program.  The program may not be suited for everyone, and occasionally you may feel the program is not right for you. Please consult with your physician prior to starting the program. Here are some typical questions from our customers.

“I’m not losing weight.”


Possible reasons:
Are you using Formula 1 with milk?
Some people are intolerant to milk. You may mix your shakes with nonfat milk or soy milk.
Not measuring inches.
Some people lose centimeters or inches first and weight second. It is important to measure inches as well as check weight because there are times when you will lose inches and not pounds. As long as you are losing either inches or pounds (or both), the program is working.
Cheating.
If you have the urge to cheat, we recommend trying our wide array of Enhancers. Add one or several Enhancers, such as Snack Defense(TM) tablets or Total Control(R) tablets. You may also try our healthy protein snacks. They’re satisfying and so delicious, you won’t feel the need to cheat!
Not following the program as directed.
Remember, the program calls for two shakes and one balanced meal per day with tablets as directed.
Skipping meals can starve the body and slow down metabolism. This can weaken the diet and lead to cheating. Not taking the tablets as directed can result in poor nutrition, which can also sabotage the diet. So always remember to follow the program as directed.

“I feel hungry.”


Possible reasons:
Not following the program correctly.
It is unusual to feel hungry when following the program correctly. Be sure you are making your shakes properly, not skipping meals and taking the products properly to help control appetite. For additional hunger control, you can add extra Personalized Protein Powder in your shake or enjoy an Herbalife protein snack. For individuals who get hungry in the evenings, you may try a soy nuts snack after dinner. If you are experiencing dieting challenges, check out our Enhancers.
Not eating properly.
An important part of ShapeWorks(TM) is eating food. It is important to eat a healthy well-balanced diet. Hunger pangs or cravings arise from skipping meals, not making shakes properly or eating inadequate amounts of protein. ShapeWorks(TM) helps reduce feelings of hunger, if you are following the program correctly.

“I feel sick / nauseous.”


Be sure to take tablets with shakes or meals as directed, not on an empty stomach. Nausea can also be a sign of poor digestion. Be sure to follow the program as directed and drink at least eight glasses of water a day. Our Herbal Aloe Concentrate tastes great and will help settle the stomach.
“I have a headache.”
Headaches can arise from blood sugar fluctuations or dehydration. Be sure to follow the program, eating two shakes, one snack and a balanced meal, as directed, and drink at least six to eight glasses of water daily. Add N-R-G Tea or Herbal Concentrate to your daily health routine.

Know your body

1. How Does Weight Loss Work?

To lose weight, you need to burn more calories than you consume. Your Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR) is the number of calories your body burns at rest every 24 hours. To lose your excess pounds, you need to increase your RMR and decrease your calorie intake. Here’s how:

1. Cut back on calories:
Eat 500 calories less than your RMR daily and you will lose one pound of excess weight per week.


2. Exercise:
Burn several hundred extra calories a day with your favorite activity to lose weight faster.


3. Weight Training:
Increase your muscle mass with weight training and you’ll boost your metabolic rate, to burn even more calories daily. For each 10 pounds of muscle you gain, your RMR will increase by 140.

2.What Shape Are You?

When it comes to fat distribution, every body falls into one of three body shapes:
The Upper: Face, neck, chest and waist.
The Lower: Hips and thighs.
The Proportionate: Throughout the upper and lower body.
Find your body shape below.


3 Body Shapes for Women


Upper:

Usually caused by lack of exercise and the wrong diet. The bad news: Excess weight around your waist can put your health at risk. The good news: ShapeWorks can help remodel your lean-to-fat ratio to improve both your shape and your health.

Lower:

Often partially inherited. The bad news: It can be the toughest fat to lose. The good news: This shape is not associated with specific health risks. Increasing your protein intake with ShapeWorks and incorporating lower-body workout routines in your exercise program are key.

Proportionate:

Usually caused by the wrong diet. The bad news: Too much weight, even if it’s evenly distributed, can put your health at risk. The good news: ShapeWorks can help improve your lean-to-fat ratio for a leaner, healthier you.

Herbalife The Best Nutrition Product

Herbalife is the strongest direct sales company in the health industry.  Herbalife completely dominates the health, nutrition and weight loss niche. The latest numbers show Herbalife is crushing its competitors and by all accounts taking the stock markets by storm with its hard to believe positive financial numbers. In a down economy where many businesses are laying off and seeing lower than expected sales, Herbalife has grown in USA 18%. Herbalife Distributors seem to embrace a “get to it” work ethic and excel in an economy where main stream working Americans are being laid off.
Herbalife Products dominate! There is no comparison to the small companies like Melalucca, Zrii, Xango and other start ups that may not be here in the next five years. 

Energy drink Liftoff

Herbalife distributors don’t advertise sports teams on bumpers of their cars like the (weekend sports warriors) unless they have Herbalife and a telephone number attached to the bumper sticker they are diehard fans that get paid as their teams do well.
Herbalife is a giant company, with their recent 30th anniversary. They have brand sponsorships in the Indy 500 to La Galaxy soccer ( Yes, Soccer seems to be more than just a girls game anymore).
This business model “direct sales” no longer can be questioned  – it just works!
30 years of product results is a sure fire way to determine a products efficacy even if many of the Distributors are just consumers? Even with the basic MLM model – many Distributors only consume the product and decide never to sell the products or work a business. The products work and many are content just consuming for the results.
This helpful product is revolutionary not by the sales copy, just by the massive consumption by consumers and distributors. Thankfully the company leadership has promised to keep this product out of the mass retailers and allow the local ground floor distributor have an incredible opportunity to sell this product.
Why so many feel offended when offered a business in the direct sales or wellness industry? People that have been introduced to business’s like Herbalife, Amway or Mary Kay in a normal economy could afford to turn their nose at a direct sales business. They saw “blind information packages” that mapped out the basic plans of the direct sales concept before providing the companies name as unethical. After being introduced to the system first and then the company second, this truly opened the eyes of the skeptic. In this economy where college grads are having the work force doors slammed shut on them, they are feeling more like they have been scammed by the education system they bought into. These students have crushing debts, college loans and no chance of a good paying job in the near future, this has many of them flocking to companies like Herbalife. Beware the direct sales industry is a true meritocracy, “It doesn’t matter who you are, it only matters if you do the work.” This is what truly offends the educated elite.      
After 30 years Herbalife has the answer, question is do you have the work ethic?

Which Herbalife Weight Loss Program is the Best One for Me?


All Herbalife weight loss programs are based on healthy meal replacement. That is why the Formula 1 Nutritional Shake Mix and Formula 2 Multivitamin Complex are included in every single program. These are Herbalife's core products.

In order to lose weight you simply replace two meals a day with a healthy Herbalife shake, and your third meal is a regular but healthy meal.

There are two main branches of Herbalife Weight Loss Programs. They are both based on high-nutrition meal replacement shakes, but are different in a few important aspects.

Herbalife Original Weight Loss Programs have helped millions of people in dozens of countries to achieve their weight loss goals. If you have had great success with one of these programs in the past, you may wish to stick with the same program. Additionally, you may be in a category to benefit from some of the additional supplements in one of these programs.

Herbalife Protein Plus Programs are based on Herbalife's latest advanced research into the importance of protein for weight loss. They contain fewer supplement pills than the original programs and focus more on high protein shakes. They are designed specifically to help with 'hunger control'.
