is anyone aware of the product Herbalife? How far it is effective to loose weight?

I think waste of money with side effects.

Increase your activity levels

Someone who increases the amount they exercise, but maintains the same diet and calorie intake, will almost certainly lose weight.

No matter if you hate gyms – even light exercise, such as a short 20 minute walk, will be beneficial if done most days of the week.

Every single time you exercise more than usual, you burn calories and fat.

There are lots of ways to increase the amount of activity you do. Team sports, racket sports, aerobics classes, running, walking, swimming and cycling will all improve your fitness levels.

Find something you enjoy that's easy for you to do in terms of location and cost. You're then more likely to build it into your routine and continue to exercise, despite inevitably missing the odd session through holidays, family commitments, etc.

• Get out and about at the weekend. Leave your car on the drive and walk to the shops. Try to incorporate longer walks into outings to the park, coast or countryside and take a picnic, so you're in control of what you are going to eat that day.

• Every extra step you take helps. Always use the stairs instead of the lift, or get off the bus a stop before the usual one and walk the rest of the way.

• Use commercial breaks between TV-programmes to stand up and do exercise, or consider using an exercise bicycle in the living room while watching your favourite programme.

Reduce your calorie intake

If you're overweight, you can't continue with your current eating habits if you really want to lose weight.

It's not possible to reduce body fat while eating lots of food, cakes and sweets. This doesn't mean you can never have any treats, but you need to learn how to limit these foods to small quantities – say, for special occasions.

In terms of weight-loss, you can get your body to use up existing stores of fat by eating less and making healthier choices.

This doesn't mean crash diet (anything less than 1500 calories), which usually ends up with you either getting weaker or giving up in desperation. Quick-fix diets can lead to a yo-yoing effect of drastic weight loss followed by weight gain, resulting in a vicious cycle.

There are no shortcuts to losing weight in a healthy and reasonable way.

Eating 300 to 500 calories less per day should lead to a loss of between one and two pounds per week. This is a realistic target. It may seem slow, but it would add up to a weight loss of more than three stone in a year.

Fat contains the most amount of calories out of all the food types (protein, carbohydrates), so a good way to achieve this is to cut down on fatty foods and eat more wholegrain bread, fruit and vegetables.

Below are ways to reduce calorie intake without having to alter your diet significantly.

• Replace fizzy drinks and fruit cordials with water.

• Swap whole milk for semi-skimmed, or semi-skimmed for skimmed.

• Eat less lunch than usual. For example, make your own sandwich and limit the use of margarine or butter and full-fat mayonnaise (store-bought sandwiches often contain both).

• Stop taking sugar in tea and coffee.

• Have smaller portions of the food you enjoy.

• Avoid having a second helping at dinner.

• Cut out unhealthy treats – such as confectionary, sugary biscuits and crisps between meals.

• Cut down on alcohol intake.

All these things will influence your health in a positive way.

Finally, don't be tempted to skip breakfast – or any meal to lose weight. While skipping a meal will reduce your calorie intake for that hour, it will leave you much hungrier later on.

Not only are you likely to overeat to compensate, but you'll often make bad choices to fill the gap: a cereal bar is not as healthy as a bowl of cereal or as filling, leading you to 'need' something extra for lunch.

Irregular eating habits also disrupt your body's metabolism, which makes it harder to lose weight in the first place.

God bless you and Good luck

Yes, I have heard about Herbalife. I used to take it as a meal replacement and to supplement my gym workout. However, it really didn't work for me and I wasn't patient enough to do the program. If for anything I think I gained weight when used to take it. Although, I have seen it work on other people, however it didn't last very long - they would gain the weight back because they didn't exercise properly.

I suggest that you exercise - running helped me a lot and also i cut down on carbohydrates and am eating food like peanut butter, kiwi and banana for energy.

I try not to buy into a lot of the commercialism of products - we need to take care of our bodies to be healthy instead of taking an easy way out.

dairy will not help you lose fat.. if you chose low fat dairy, like skim milk or non fat yoghurt however, it's healthy and it contains protein which will help you build muscle ( if you do any form of strength training). Some dairy products has calcium which will also help with bone density so you will have stronger bones and that will benefit you when you get older. But weight loss, you have to eat a balanced diet and exercise, no food product or pill will help you get there.. it's your will and motivation.
