What are the Secrets To My Success With Supplements? I am tempted to say "that's easy" but it wasn't. To read my history with supplements read our "About Us" page here. It has been many years of trial and error, trying out different products and making the errors.

Product Claims
As with most people, we were attracted to the products by their bold claims of good health, weight loss, and happiness. Well 99% of them lied. None of their claims was true, and that was on me! I read the label or adverts and believed them. I never did any due diligence on the products. Once I learned to do this, I had huge success.
Face Value
Adverts and labels are there to get you hooked on the product. They make inaccurate claims and suggestions that are not always realistic or true. As for the labels.....hmmmf!
Labels
So let's talk Labels. In a lot of products, they are just that, TALK (writing really). Luckily, we have a labelling law in South Africa that requires that what is written on the label must be in the product and what is in the product must be written on the label. Do they all Comply????
Below is a short video on labels. It is primarily aimed at Kids but it gives a good explanation that every adult should understand:
What I Did To Succeed
After we discovered Herbalife in a newspaper ad, I collected the product personally. Look... I was not going to be caught again. Herbalife offered a 30 Day money-back guarantee, no questions asked, so I wanted to know where he stayed to collect on the guarantee.
I started on the Products and, dare I say it, it was easy!
I often left home at 4 AM and I would take my shake with me to work in a shaker.
- Breakfast: A nutritional protein shake.
- Lunch: A second nutritional shake during the workday.
- Dinner: A sensible, healthy meal with my family when I got home at night.
- Hydration & Lifestyle: I stopped drinking Coke and eliminated refined sweets. I drank a lot more water and far less sugar.
Long Term Success
I lost 18 kgs in 3 months and I was over the moon. I continued on and lost a total of 38 kgs. This was achieved by drinking 2 tablets twice a day, drinking 2 shakes a day, and eating 1 healthy whole meal a day. I did, of course, stop all the Coke and sweets. I drank a lot more water and far less sugar.
Last week I decided that I had to get down to my goal weight and I started on two shakes a day again (I had been on the maintenance program of 1 shake a day for some years). I lost 3.6 kgs in the week. I believe that this is too much too fast. I believe that you should lose a max of 6 to 9 kgs a month for healthy, sustainable results.
Synergy with Bioresonance Therapy
My long-term wellness journey also taught me the power of holistic cellular health. At Rife Wellness Centre in Howick, KZN, we pair sensible nutrition with Bioresonance Therapy. When the body's natural energetic pathways and lymphatic drainage are clear, metabolic blockages and food sensitivities can be uncovered, allowing your nutritional efforts to deliver optimal results.
