I'm Yvonne, an independent distributor for Herbalife.

Today, supermarket shelves are packed with foods that call to dieters with the words "FAT FREE." But as conscientious weight watchers load their shopping carts with fat-free foods week after week, many discover this alarming fact: Their weight is going up!

Since the fat-free craze began in recent years, statistics show we've actually grown fatter rather than thinner. Although we've been taught to think of fat as the culprit in the weight-loss battle, it isn't the only one. That's because a food that's fat free isn't necessarily calorie free. Many fat-free foods are actually very high in sugar and carbohydrate calories. And these calories, when eaten in excess, convert into the one thing we've been taught to avoid: fat.

Lose the fat from your body, not your diet. Ironically, to burn fat and lose weight, you need a certain amount of "good fat." That's why Herbalife Weight-Management Programs stresses the importance of a well-balanced diet that includes enough good fats-like those found in fish and olive oil-along with Herbalife's highly nutritious meal replacement shakes and snacks.

By avoiding the fat-free craze and giving your body the complete nourishment it needs with Herbalife's Cellular Nutrition supplements and weight-management products, you'll steadily lose weight and feel healthier as you do it.
