Data from the recent National Child Measurement Programme (NCMP 2016/17), one of the most comprehensive childhood measurement programs in the country, indicates that childhood obesity is present in almost 10% of young children (age 4–5), with further 13% classified as overweight. Alarmingly, in older age groups the proportions are even higher — by the age of 10–11, 20% of kids are obese, and further 14% — overweight. In contrast, NCMP 2009/10 showed lower rates of childhood overweight and obesity. For example, the prevalence of childhood obesity in 2009/10 was 18.7% — a devastating 1.3% lower than today.

In other words, currently over a third of year 6 UK children are experiencing weight issues, which can have devastating consequences for both physical and mental health, as well as the health of future generations (research shows children of overweight and obese parents are also more prone to accumulating excess body fat).

The trend carries over to teenage years, with research suggesting that, for instance, 20% of 14-year-olds in the UK are obese, and a further 15% are overweight.

It’s important to note that being overweight/obese in the NCMP and most other similar programmes are defined in terms of the body mass index (BMI), which essentially measures a relationship between one’s height and weight. According to the NHS, although BMI “is a good way of finding out whether a child is a healthy weight”, it also has downsides such as not distinguishing “between excess fat, muscle, or bone”. However, even if the figures above are not to be treated as exact, the overall upward trend in childhood overweight and obesity is beyond alarming.

If you’re worried that your child might be overweight or obese, contact a health professional today for a detailed assessment.

With the growing trend of increasing obesity, it has almost become imperative to opt for a ‘fat-free’ diet, as we’re led to believe that these food-types can apparently help in reducing weight. Fat-free foods have been in vogue for almost the last three decades, and judging by the popularity and sales, many people often jump to the conclusion that it is the easiest method of losing weight.

Shockingly though, it has proven that it’s impossible to lose weight by just adopting low-fat diets. Indeed a recent research by the Harvard Medical School has proven that you would actually gain weight if you followed a low-fat diet exclusively without proper medical supervision. Alarmingly, in parallel with the increase in the ‘fat-free craze’, more people are increasingly growing fatter and fatter.

Fattening fat-free foods

There is no calorie-free food, even if it’s called ‘fat-free’. People are losing their appetite and their normal diet in their quest of a perfect body shape by depending only on fat-free foods. Today, almost all the shelves in the supermarkets are packed with foods claiming to be fat-free, and dieters are easily allured by these ‘foods’ that promise to reduce their fat intake.

However, much to their dismay, the conscientious dieters soon discover that the products have been of little or no assistance in their weight loss quest, and can actually cause harm in the long run. Surprisingly these types of foods generally act as catalysts in the process of weight gain! This is because most fat-free foods are extremely high in carbohydrate and sugar calorie content. When these calories are taken in excess, they actually get converted into the dreaded ‘fat’ within the body.

Being in shape

Another important factor to consider is that many fat-free foods that are available have many missing nutrients. The human body actually needs saturated fats for various important functions. Vitamins A and D, which are fat-soluble, are available in large quantities in foods which have considerable amounts of fats. Therefore, it is more likely that the consumers depending on fat-free foods will be deprived of such essential nutrients. One should therefore opt for healthier food choices, with proper medical advice and supervision where necessary.
A well-balanced diet high in essential nutrients and fats must be adopted in order to maintain healthy living standards. Also consider taking proven high-quality supplements if you are reducing your overall calorie intake. If possible combine this with some light exercise and you have a perfect formula to get the perfect shape and to feel great. So remember that jumping on the latest fat-free bandwagon is not going to be a short-cut to losing weight after all.

Knowing your body

The first step to attaining a great shape is understanding your body. You firstly need to check which parts of your body have a tendency to gain weight the quickest. On many women it’s the hips and tops of the legs. However, traditionally it has often been the case that body shape has been underemphasized while weight loss has been overemphasized.

Understanding the BMI

BMI, or the Body-Mass Index, is a weight-to-height ratio. In the US, if BMI happens to be greater than 25, then the person is considered to be overweight. Similarly, people with BMI more than 30 are considered obese. BMI is a powerful method to document the tendency of obesity in a country.

Different body shapes

There are mainly three types of body shapes; in the case of women — lower body fat, upper body fat, and both lower and upper body fat. However men only tend to have upper body fat. The women’s upper body fat responds to oestrogen and progesterone, which are female hormones. It also stores fat for the purpose of breastfeeding a newborn baby. Women who have both lower and upper body fat, tend to lose upper body fat first, and women who have more upper body fat, need to have more protein in their diet. This helps to control their hunger. Losing the lower body fat is quite difficult, compared to losing upper body fat, but there are a number of medical benefits of losing the upper body fat.

Getting in shape

There are some body shapes which can be significantly changed, while there are some which cannot be changed too much. It is therefore important to identify what kind of shape you have. By working on what can be changed, you can adjust your wardrobe, health and life. What is required is a personalized program designed by an expert, and you’ll soon be on your way to a shipshape life. We’ll advise you on identifying your body shape and suggest the best program for your body type.

Obesity is becoming a persistent problem in the lives of most people. It is not that most are ignorant about the physical disadvantages of obesity, but increasing numbers are quite oblivious about the impact of obesity on their health, both as children and as adults. The Journal of the American Medical Association has featured an extensive study showing that obesity is the chief factor behind reducing life expectancy, mostly among young adults. On comparing the Body-Mass Index (BMI) to longevity, the researchers have found a correlation between higher BMIs and premature deaths. The life expectancy rate of most overweight Americans is almost three to five years less, when compared to their healthy-weight counterparts.

Obesity kills

Obesity is gradually becoming an ‘epidemic’, and unfortunately the most vulnerable victims are growing children. One of the chief reasons behind this is their sedentary lifestyles. The intake of energy exceeds its usage, and this accelerates the increase in the rate of obesity in both the adults and the children. In addition, with the prevalence of excess sugar and junk food in the diet, the situation is becoming even worse.

Research has proved that obese people are more prone to diseases like diabetes and the formation of uric acid kidney stones. Increasing cholesterol level in the blood is yet another threat as high cholesterol can lead to serious health conditions. Another negative impact of obesity is the tendency to get easily fatigued. Coronary Artery Disease and Type II Diabetes is increasing rapidly among the people with sedentary lifestyles, and the high intake of fast food reduces the production of the amount of insulin that is needed to deal with the increased sugar level.

Maintaining a healthy diet

It is imperative to maintain a healthy and balanced diet to fight obesity. Such a balanced diet must include fruits, vegetables, milk and other dairy products in proper proportion. A wholesome quantity of vitamins, carbohydrates, minerals and salts are needed for maintaining good health. A balanced diet coupled with some physical exercise is thus the key to a healthy lifestyle. A proper diet keeps a check on the health issues, thereby helping to prevent obesity. So ensure that you exercise well and maintain a balanced diet to ace the menace of obesity.

Ace the Menace of Obesity - Independent Herbalife Member Karin Jennings Buy Herbalife products online

At best most diets demand large changes in eating habits and generally include a long list of foods that you can’t eat, as well as major changes in lifestyle and even types of drinks that are added to the ‘banned list.

You have to summon major will power and prepare yourself for a long period of denial and change. Not much fun and never an effective long-term solution.

And it’s for this very reason that so many people yo-yo with their weight and find it successively harder to lose weight with each diet plan that they try.

Pretty grim really and that’s where Herbalife is so radically different to other diets and so much effective long term

Here’s why….

Herbalife isn’t a traditional diet because it’s success is not based on normal diet requirements. It’s not about a long list of foods that you can’t eat, or drinks you can’t drink. Or compulsory exercise, or changing your shopping habits.

Herbalife is a cut-back diet, not a cut out diet and the simplicity of how to use it effectively is the very reason that it’s so successful.

Here’s what you can eat whilst using Herbalife — same food, half as much…
Yes you read that correctly you don’t have to make any changes to the type of food that you eat, just the amount of food that you eat. Simple to follow, easy to stick to and incredibly effective.

So in summary, remember this when you wonder what food to eat with Herbalife. Same food as you always eat, just half as much.

Herbalife - what to eat? - Independent Herbalife Member Karin Jennings Buy Herbalife products online

Whenever I speak to someone for the first time there a few important questions that I always ask them so that I can give the best advise on what Herbalife products I think they should use.

The first question is ‘how much weight would you like to lose?’. This is an important first question because everyone’s goals for losing weight are different depending on their personal circumstances. Establishing their weight loss goals and expectations is important for me to understand what their ambitions are.

The second question is ‘what types of diets have you tried before?’
The answer to this question gives me a good idea of the types of diets that they’ve tried previously, and the answers to this vary considerably. For some people they haven’t tried dieting before and have found that their weight has increased over a period of months or years to a point where they feel that they want to do something about it. Perhaps they feel uncomfortable in their clothes and they know that their weight is increasing and the feeling of tight clothing is telling them that they need to do something to get their weight down. Other people may have tried their own diet program that may have involved cutting back on food, perhaps switching to low calorie foods like salads in an attempt to lose some weight. This approach can help to get some short-term weight loss, but seldom gives long-term results. Others may have tried one or more commercially available diet products and may have experienced varying results from using those.

Discovering and understanding a new customers history of dieting attempts give me an indication of what they’ve used previously and helps build a picture of previous diet attempts.

The third question is ‘why didn’t these previous diets work for you?’
Knowing the answers to this question provides me with a number of clues as to what issues or obstacles they’ve experienced previously. If they were trying to follow their own ‘cut-back’ diet, they may have found that to be too restrictive or time consuming for example. They may have lost a few pounds or kilos but found that at best it was only a process that they could follow for a relatively short time period, and as soon as they went back to their previous eating habits, the weight loss reversed and often they gained back the weight that they lost, sometimes with an extra few pounds on top. It may be a similar story with previous commercially available diet products that they tried which is some cases include very strict calorie-counting regimes which they found to be too complicated, time consuming or impractical around their lifestyle. Understanding previous obstacles or challenges really lets me know, what common issues have occurred previously.

Why does Herbalife work?

Having asked these 3 important questions I can then explain to them why Herbalife may be the solution to longer-term weight loss. For example if calorie counting was a previous issue, I’ll explain that you don’t need to count calories with Herbalife, you just need to cut back on the amount of food that you eat. Or if preparing and eating different types of food was an issue, I explain that you can eat your favourite foods, just reduce the amount, and that you don’t have to change your lifestyle just to lose some weight. Essentially over the last 15 plus years that I’ve been advising potential clients I’ve found that Herbalife has proven to be the most effective weight loss program for long-term results in nearly every instance. Certainly my own results have proven that and the results of my customers have provided further evidence. You can see some of these results in the Herbalife reviews page of my website.

So to summarise, asking the right questions and understanding previous weight loss and dieting history allows me to advise the best Herbalife program for my new customer. And having gotten them started, I’ll then be providing ongoing follow-up and support to help them achieve their weight loss goals.

Herbalife diet, why does Herbalife work? - Independent Herbalife Member Karin Jennings Buy Herbalife products online

They are currently more than 55 different Herbalife UK products available, and these cover many different categories including weight control, sports nutrition, skin and hair care and targeted nutrition products.

I had a phone call yesterday from someone in exactly this situation. A friend of theirs had recommended using the Herbalife products and so they had gone online and found our website. Even though we highlight a choice of Programs and top-selling products on our homepage etc, the person was still confused as to what products would be best, so they called us directly using the phone number in our website.

I thought I’d share 5 bullet points of our conversation, as the answers help us gain an understanding of the persons desires/expectations/previous experiences with health products or supplements, and may also be helpful to you.

1. Have you used Herbalife before?
2. What results are you looking to achieve — weight control, improved sports energy/nutrition, or general improvements in health/energy/feelings of wellbeing?
3. Are you using any other supplements at the moment, or in the past?
4. If so what results did you experience and were you happy with the results? If so, great; if not, why was that?
5. Ok thanks for giving me some background and understanding of what you’re looking to achieve. Let me tell you my recommendations for you.

In this instance, the person was looking to lose some weight and I was able to recommend one of the Herbalife weight loss programs that I thought would be best. Of course there are other factors involved such as price and affordability, and each persons circumstances are different.

Another interesting question that came up was about expiry dates on the products, and I thought it would be useful to include that in this article.
The person asked if there were any expiry dates on the Herbalife UK products and I explained that there are. I told them that we place all orders that we receive (by phone, or via our website) directly with Herbalife UK. We do this because it ensures 2 things:

1. Our customers receive the freshest in-date products directly from Herbalife
2. Our customers benefit from fast and fully -traceable delivery via DPD

Both of these things are very important because unfortunately we’re hearing more and instances of people buying ‘cheap price’ Herbalife products online from sellers on Amazon, Ebay, Gumtree etc and then experiencing all sorts of problems and issues with their orders. These include, products not turning up, products arriving weeks later from another country outside of the UK, and products arriving that are out-of-date and expired. Also zero support and other issues. Now we fully understand that people are looking for bargains, but we’re always cautioning customers about the risks involved. Is it really worth it??

I also explained that we provide ongoing support and guidance to help achieve the best results. In other words they weren’t just buying products, they were also getting a one-on-one service included, which they were very pleased about. After our call they went back onto the website, registered for their free account and then made their purchase.

So if you’re looking at using Herbalife for the first time and you’re not sure what to choose, don’t worry. Have a good look through our website, and feel free to reach out to us with any questions. We’re here to help.
