Escape the Fat-Free Diet Trap

Since the “fat-free craze” began, statistics show we have grown fatter and fatter. Just because a food is fat-free doesn’t mean it’s calorie-free. Get up to speed on “good fats” and lose the fat from your body, not your diet. Today, supermarket shelves are packed with foods that call to dieters with the words “FAT-FREE.” But as conscientious weight watchers load up their shopping carts with fat-free foods week after week, many discover this alarming fact: their weight is going up! Getting fat on fat-free Since the beginning of the “fat-free craze,” statistics show Americans have grown fatter and fatter. Although we’ve been taught to think of fat as the culprit in the weight-loss battle, clearly this is only part of the whole diet picture. Just because a food is fat-free doesn’t mean it’s calorie-free. Many fat-free foods are actually very high in sugar and carbohydrate calories. And these calories, when eaten in excess, become converted into the one thing we’ve been taught to avoid–fat! Lose the fat from your body, not your diet Ironically, in order to burn fat and lose weight you need a certain amount of good quality fat. That’s why the ShapeWorks™ Weight-Management Program stresses the importance of a well-balanced diet that includes enough “good fats,” such as those found in fish and olive oil, together with Herbalife’s highly nutritious meal replacement shakes and snacks. By avoiding the fat-free craze and giving your body the complete nourishment it needs with Herbalife’s Cellular Nutrition® supplements and weight-management products, you’ll lose weight steadily and feel healthier as you do.

Children who watch TV while eating are twice as likely to eat “junk” food as opposed to fruits and vegetables.

Today’s sedentary lifestyle for children is raising their risk of obesity, diabetes, osteoporosis and other disorders.  Read how you can help reverse this alarming trend.

Today’s parents are having their pediatrician tell them their 11-year-old son has Type 2 diabetes or their 16-year-old daughter has osteoporosis. The “out-of-control” lifestyles fashioned by the adults of the past 40 years has led to a 50% increase in the diagnosis of Type 2 diabetes–the kind of diabetes that used to be known as “adult onset” because this obesity-related disorder wasn’t usually diagnosed until age 50 or older!

Making wellness a family affair
If we begin to place an emphasis on eating healthy foods and increasing activity levels in our children, we can reverse these alarming trends. Here are a few guidelines for dealing with overweight children. Be sure the child has been evaluated by a medical doctor to assure there are no reasons why losing weight would be a problem. Children can begin their day with a Dinomins multivitamin tablet and a shake made with nonfat milk or soy milk.

Stopping the epidemic
Choose to set the example of picking up an apple instead of an ice-cream bar. Stop smoking. Turn off the television or computer and shoot some hoops with your children or go for a walk. Be sure to take your dog so you won’t have a fat dog at risk for diabetes and heart disease–yes, they develop the same diseases as humans! Let’s make the 21st century the century of wellness, family values and quality of life. Let’s start today.
