As the days get chilly many of us may have the a tendency to slow down, stay indoors, become less active and eat unhealthy foods (AKA Junk Foods) high in calories and fat.

To help keep your metabolism burning efficiently and support weight management, here are some tips to work into your daily regimen.

• 1. Keep your body in motion with 30 minutes of activity everyday to help minimize weight gain.
• 2. Tone your muscled by weight training three days a week. This helps maintain muscle mass as you age. Start small, try walking with 2-5 pounds weights then increase gradually as you see fit. For those of you who are stronger go to 10-15 pounds. The idea here is to start and be consistent.
• 3. Do not eat fewer than 1,200 calories a day. Eating too little may slow your metabolism.
• 4. Do an aerobic activity daily, such as walking, swimming, or cycling. This is great for a positive attitude, high-energy levels and to raise metabolism.
• 5. Never skip breakfast. If you do, your body tend to think its is starving and metabolism may slow down.
• 6. Eat enough protein. Your muscles need plenty of protein to maintain muscle mass. A good guideline is one gram of protein per pound of body weight divided by two.
• 7. Make sure you use the herbalife weight management program and personalize protein program everyday including Total Control, Snack defense, and the herbal concentrate tea.
• 8. Have a good supply of any herbalife protein snacks on hand and reach for these when you want to snack. You can grab either the protein bar deluxe, roasted soy nuts, a soupmix, protein drink mix and/or a beverage mix.

We can all make it through the winter season enjoying ourselves and managing our weight. Do so easily by keeping your metabolism reved up.
