Eating Right at Night

By  Luigi Gratton, M.D., M.P.H.
Vice President, Medical Affairs and Education

For many, when the sun goes down, so does their willpower. They maintain their sensible eating habits during the day, only to eat junk food like pizza and ice cream at night. There is, however, a simple solution. You can control your appetite after dark by eating a healthy and nutritious snack.

Putting the Myth to Rest

You’ve probably been told at some point that eating late at night is detrimental. However, there is no conclusive scientific evidence proving that calories ingested at night are metabolized differently than other times. Therefore, it is not the time of day that leads to weight gain, but rather the total daily caloric intake as a whole. Whether you're eating in the morning or at midnight, your body turns any extra calories into fat.

Feeding Frenzy

Metabolically speaking, our bodies have the lowest need for calories at night. Yet in America, we eat more during dinner than any other meal. One study showed that participants consumed 42% of their daily calories from dinnertime on. But there are reasons these unhealthy patterns are so commonplace. Some people don’t eat enough during the day, causing a drop in blood sugar levels, which can lead to over consumption at night. Others are simply overindulging as an emotional escape from stress or to beat boredom. We tend to mindlessly reach for junk food during sedentary activities such as watching television or using the computer. These foods contain large amounts of sugar and saturated fat which can lead to weight gain, insomnia, indigestion or even more serious health problems.

Suitable Snacks

The good news is that there are appropriate alternatives. You can effectively curb your hunger with a high protein, low calorie snack. An Herbalife Protein Bar is a great guilt-free snack, containing 12g of protein, healthy fiber, as well as 23 vitamins and minerals to help manage your weight.  Roasted Soy Nuts with Cardia®† Salt is another healthy snack that is high in nutritional value. Both are packed with protein and flavor to keep you satisfied, and also rich in nutrients and fiber.

So the next time you feel like “midnight munching”, think about the benefits of a healthy, protein-powered snack. The nutritional difference will be like night and day.

The Perfect Pick-Me-Up

By David Heber, M.D., Ph.D., F.A.C.P., F.A.C.N.
Chairman of the Herbalife Nutrition and Scientific Advisory Boards

You're having a mid-day crisis. You show up for the 3:00 meeting with one important thing missing. Your energy! But instead of reaching for something with a high nutritional value to combat these "afternoon lulls," most people are only looking for a quick fix.

Say No to Sodas and Coffee

Carbonated beverages account for more than a quarter of all drinks consumed in the U.S. and a staggering 21 percent of the sugar in the American diet. Sodas also contain a large amount of empty calories, and chronic consumption can lead to obesity and tooth decay. The sugars and acid in soda can dissolve tooth enamel and lead to cavities.  Millions of people also love the smell, taste and shared experience of their morning coffee. Americans drink more than 400 million cups per day, making the United States the leading consumer of coffee in the world. Most coffees and sodas provide a boost; however, the same energy-producing factor can be derived from healthier sources.

Healthier Alternatives

For thousands of years, tea has been known to be a refreshing drink offering a myriad of important health benefits. The compounds found in tea function as antioxidants and studies have shown that green tea in particular has the highest level. Herbalife Herbal Concentrate is a great way to obtain the powerful thermogenic and antioxidant properties of green tea. It's also an uplifting instant tea mix that can be savored throughout the day. Herbal Concentrate contains five fast-acting botanicals for a boost in energy level and is low in both calories and carbohydrates. For another productive way to stay alert and focused, Herbalife's effervescent energy drink, Liftoff® is a good alternative. Containing a proprietary energy blend that includes B and C vitamins, Liftoff® tablets help to increase your energy, enhance mental performance and dissolve easily in water for on-the-go use.

So the next time you need a pick-me-up, do your body a favor and avoid the temptation of coffees and sodas. You can easily achieve the same results while getting much more in return. And with the average price of a gourmet coffee now at nearly $3.00, your wallet will thank you as well.

Wellness Report on Obesity: Losing Weight May Add Years to Your Life

By  Staff Writer

New studies confirm that obesity is on the rise, bringing with it a greater risk of diabetes and a lower life expectancy.
 
Overweight linked with premature death
 
In January 2003, the Journal of the American Medical Association featured a study that found that obesity appears to lessen life expectancy, especially among young adults. The researchers compared Body-Mass Index (BMI) to longevity and found a correlation between premature death and higher BMIs. For example, a 20-year-old white male, 5'10" weighing 288 pounds with a BMI of greater than 40 was estimated to lose 13 years of his life as a result of obesity. While this study referenced extreme levels of obesity, there are still millions of overweight Americans with a life expectancy rate that is three to five years less than their healthy-weight counterparts.
