Dump It or Pump it!

As an Herbalife Independent Distributor, many people ask what foods they should be eating to lose weight and keep it off. I think most have a general idea but it is a lot easier to take action on it if you have a list. So here is a list to help you decide if you should pump it or dump it.

Dump It: Drinks that contain high fructose corn syrup or sugar. The more of these types of beverages you take in the harder you have to work to take the pounds off.
 
Pump It: Water, try to drink more water than anything else. You can also start with flavored water but nothing is a good as fresh clean water. Green tea is also a good  choice for the antioxidants.

Dump It: Ice cream. As hard as this may be to do. It is necessary. Ice cream for most is too big a temptation and right now you need to get rid of tempations that are too easy to reach for.
 
Pump It: Frozen fruit or low fat yogurt

Dump It: High fat dairy products. Cheese, milk, sour cream and cream cheese.
 
Pump It: Low fat version s of the same products but make sure to minimize your use of cheeses, sour cream, and cream cheeses. These are really only toppings and you can do without them.

Dump It: Frozen convenience foods like pizza, hot pockets and high fat meals. These are almost always high in calories, fat and carbohydrates.
 
Pump It: Lean turkey patties, veggie patties or lean turkey for sandwiches. Try preparing healthy meals in advance and freezing them to be heated up later.

Dump It: Refined white bread, buns, and regular flour pastas. These are empty calories and carbohydrates with no real nutritional value and plenty of calories and carbs.
 
Pump It: Whole wheat bread, hamburger buns and pastas made from spinich or wheat keeping these types of foods to a minimum as well.

Dump It: Potato Chips, corn chips, cookies, candy and cakes
 
Pump It: Fresh fruit, vegetables and healthy nuts (good for protein). There are so many fruits and vegetables to choose from. Add low fat cottage cheese to your favorite fruit and you have a great snack when you can't hold out until dinner.

Herbalife offers weight loss shakes that are great to replace 2 meals a day. This really helps to take the guess work out of planning your meals. You can also have an extra shake if feel hungry or are tempted to reach for an unhealthy snack. The weight loss shakes have less calories than most snack choices and sometimes you just need something creamy and sweet.

The weight loss shakes come in 7 delicious flavors. You can have a different flavor for each day of the week if you choose! You can choose from Dutch Chocolate, French Vanilla, Wild Berry, Pina Colada, Tropical Fruit, Cafe Latte and even Cookies and Cream! You can also get other snacks like protein bars, protein drinks, soy nuts and more!
