Fixing my diet enough since i can't exercise?

GuddaB

So I know it's a stupid question but I'm wondering I just started Herbalife and it's going okay so far I'm fixing my diet and hoping that's enough for now since I had a car accident and the end of May and broke 4 parts of my hip and 2 parts of my right arm so I'm not really allowed to do any exercise since whenever I do I end up not being able to walk in the evening because of pain.
Any suggestion guys? Tips or such?

I'm quite lost since I used to do boxing 5 times a week and now I'm not allowed to do anything until a few months up, to a year since my wrist isn't functioning at the moment because of a nerve damage which takes a long time to heal.

;-; sorry for this, just a tough time.

You just need a calorie deficit. Honestly, I would ditch the Herbalife. It's a waste of money and teaches you nothing about portion control.

Grab a food scale, weigh your food, and stay in a deficit. I think a food scale is really important in this case because you do not have much room for error due to no activity. So your diet has to be spot on for accurate results.

Sorry about your accident.

Herbalife has a huge lawsuit pending on them by the FDA for their "fraudulent and deceptive" products! It's been on the news lately

I agree with others here, I would probably get rid of the Herbalife.

As for exercise, since you broke your hip and arm you should be seeing a physical therapist. If not, I would talk to one, because movement and a healthy diet are key to a quicker recovery.

I did Herbalife for a few months a couple years ago and I lost a good amount of weight but since I didn't learn good eating habits and portion control it all came back quickly with some extra weight just to spite me:/ I'm not saying to quit the Herbalife but to be mindful of needing that time to learn new eating/portion habits because you will start eating all your meals at some point when you come off the shakes and I want it to be a better experience for you than it was for me;) btw, my fat is flabbier now than before...don't know if that has to do with the quick loss then gain:/

Somehow the shakes have been helping me lose interest in sugary and unhealthy things I've never had issues with portion control it's more like what my food should consist of. Since I'm kinda picky with food but the person for Herbalife is actually teaching me portion control more percise and what I'm supposed to eat and not to eat etc

If it works for you, thats great and all that counts. As long as you know that the calorie deficit is what is causing you to lose weight and not the shakes.

No single food is unhealthy or healthy, it's all about context and your overall diet. You can eat anything and the most important things is that you eat 1) things you like and 2) an appropriate amount of calories.

I am so sorry! I hope you heal up quickly! *hugs*

My go-to protein/treat is sugar-free Greek yogurt like Dannon. 80 cals for 12g of protein for all of their flavors. Sugar-free pudding is nice too and I can get a few flavors I can't find in the yogurt aisle.

I lost almost 100 lbs without much exercise. It's all about calorie deficit. FYI you can get a similar shake for half the price, just look up protein shakes.
