For Men (and women): The Truth & Importance of Protein

Hey everyone-

I know there is always some confusion when it comes to protein and losing weight- do you want a high protein diet or not? How much is too much? Is there such thing as too much protein? Well, this article from Men's Health should help clarify some things.

Here is an exerpt from it:

"Your body can process only so much protein in a single sitting. A recent study from the University of Texas found that consuming 90 grams of protein at one meal provides the same benefit as eating 30 grams. It's like a gas tank, says study author Douglas Paddon-Jones, Ph.D.: "There's only so much you can put in to maximize performance; the rest is spillover."



Eating protein at all three meals-plus snacking two or three times a day on proteins such as cheese, jerky, and milk-will help you eat less overall. People who start the day with a protein-rich breakfast consume 200 fewer calories a day than those who chow down on a carb-heavy breakfast, like a jam-smeared bagel. Ending the day with a steak dinner doesn't have the same appetite-quenching effect, Layman says."

Have trouble falling or staying asleep? SLEEP NOW is just what you need.

Hey Everyone!

I'm sure you all know that sleep is an important part of maintaining a healthy lifestyle. If you have difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep, you need to be taking Herbalife's SLEEP NOW product. Check out this product testimony if you're not convinced:

"On August 1, 2007, my husband was riding in a vehicle that ran over and IED while deployed in Iraq. He was immediately medivaced back to the States where he spent over a year doing intense rehabilitation for his injuries. During that time he was put on "heavy duty" prescription medication for pain as well as prescription medicaiton for sleep. He had a love-hate relationship with his sleep medications- he loved being able to sleep through the night, but he hated relying on them and he hated how he would wake up in such a daze.

After being on the medications for over a year, he decided to stop taking the prescriptions and try just regular, over-the-counter sleep aids. He tried sooo many different brands but all with the same result- each would work for a couple weeks before he'd get use to it and have to either bump up the amount he was taking, or try a new brand. This went on for almost 2 years.

I started on Herbalife products in October 2010 and while browsing through the different products, I came across SLEEP NOW and decided my husband had to try it. He started sleeping better from night 1. He fell asleep faster, and no longer relyed on the TV to "lull" him to sleep. Again, he started taking that in October 2010, and it continues to work. The best part about it is when he wakes up for work at 5am, he doesn't wake up in a fog like he use to, and he feels well-rested."

SLEEP NOW has all-natural ingredients like: passionflower, melatonin, valerian, hops and lavender. It's non-addictive, and the combination of these ingredients help promote relaxation for better sleep. It works by "normalizing" your sleep patters, which in-turn helps you sleep better throughout the night.
