Herbalife three day trial

A pound an a half!!! After three of the healthiest days of my life I lost a pound and a half?! Now I wasn't expecting miracles but I could lose that much in my sleep!

As you may know, on Monday I started a three day Herbalife trial which consisted of the following:

Herbalife shake for breakfast
Herbalife shake for lunch
Healthy dinner
Healthy snacks
Tonnes of water

And the healthy food was mainly protein based, such as.....

For me it was a bit of a change, even though I eat quite healthy meals I have such a sweet tooth and love my wine or Corona in the evening. Sure who doesn't?

When I started on Monday I promised myself to go hard or go home. No coffee, chocolate, sweets or alcohol passed my lips. And I know it was only three days but I am used to my morning coffee's and evening treats. And even on the hottest day of the year when everybody on Facebook was posting pictures of fabulous beer gardens I was having barbecued salmon and a glass of water. I was also out jogging each day, only short 15-20 minute jogs, but it's better than nothing!

The shakes were nice enough, I made them in the blender with Aplro Hazelnut Milk (delicious), frozen raspberries (double delicious) and ice. The morning one was quite tasty, as it was fresh out of the blender and ice cold. The lunch one....not so nice. I made it in the morning and left in the fridge, but the powder seemed to settle and I could really feel the grains in my mouth. And by lunch time I just wasn't in the mood for the same thing I had for breakfast. They were filling enough and I snacked on nuts, fruit and chicken at about 11am and 3pm but I was always dying for my dinner!

All in all the three days weren't too bad, like I said I lost a pound and a half, but also 8 inches from all over my body, which sounds way better! I did feel really healthy and energetic though and I never felt bloated. I think it's a great detox and can see myself using it again if I've over indulged.

I'm definitely going to pay attention to what I eat more and cut down on the sweets and booze, but as for the shakes....I like food too much to drink my calories. I'd consider buying it again but just have it for breakfast, but only having one real meal a day just doesn't do it for me.

My Herbalife consultation was free and the three day trial includes six sachets of powder for €15.
