In the past few months, I've been drinking less coffee than I usually do. But with the latest Kopiko Black, I find it hard to resist coffee.
I've joined a Bible Group in our subdivision, during one of our meetings the host offered us Kopiko Black. I've been hooked ever since. It's now part of my grocery list.
Me and my husband maintains a 150-calorie diet in the morning while Kopiko Black has 110 calories. The good thing about coffee is that the coffee itself doesn't have calories on it and it can actually help you burn fats and be energized the whole day.
I always add coffee on our morning shake & afternoon shake. One Kopiko Black is enough for my Banana Shakewhich is good for two less the optional ingredients. This way I can still enjoy the taste of coffee less the guilt.
When we don't have enough time in preparing the our banana shake (at times I'm just being lazy especially when it's early in the morning). We just drink a cup of coffee. It is always best to enjoy a cup of coffee with the one you love.
If you're a coffee addict like me. Better try this now. I'm sure you're going to love it!
I used to work in a retail company which requires me to be physically fit for I handle most of the complaints. My husband has been going abroad for almost 20 years already. He would normally stay for a few months here then abroad for another 9 months. My dilemma is that I've gaining about 3-4 kilos whenever he is here.
This year, we've both decided that he stay longer for us to focus on having a baby. And so from 51 kilos, I gained 12 more kilos more in the span of 1 year. As for him, I'm not sure how much he gained 'cause he's not as health conscious as I am. The weight is not just the issue but the heaviness you feel everyday or when you see that your clothes doesn't fit anymore. You know that something is wrong with your diet but you just don't know where to start. I don't post that much pictures of myself either because I feel fat.
In one of our interior decor projects, we met a couple whose whole family made Nutrilife part of their daily diet. As part of our customer service, we often bond with our customers to get to know them better. So, we ended up signing up withThe Herbalife Nutrition 10 Day Program.
Here are the initial screening and results after 10 days:
Me: Weight : 137.8 lbs / 62.64 kg to 134.4 lbs 61.06 kg Body Fat : 35.5% to 34.7% Visceral Fat : 6 - No change Bone Mass : 5.2 - No change Basal Metabolic Rate : 1223 to 1205 Metabolic Age : 47 to 45 Muscle Mass : 83.6 to 82.6 Physique Rating : 2 to 5 Total Body Water % : 47.2% to 47.8%
My Husband: Weight : 188 lbs / 85.45 kg to 183.4 / 83.36 kg Body Fat : 31.3 % to 30.3% Visceral Fat :17 to 16 Bone Mass : 6.6 - No change Basal Metabolic Rate: 1658 to 1637 Metabolic Age :65 to 62 Muscle Mass : 122.4 to 121.2 Physique Rating : 3 - No change Total Body Water % : 50.3% to 51%
This information is new to us, the visceral fats, metabolic rate & age. Things that other fitness trainer/ coach wouldn't talk about. Our idea of diet is skipping meal but with Nutrilife, it is all about making healthy choices.
Basing on the our Basal Metabolic Rate (Calories Burned at Rest) we were asked to follow a meal plan:
Meal Plan for the Ladies : 1000 calories/day
Breakfast:
Aloe Concentrate Tea Shake with Oats & Banana 150 calories
Lunch: 1/2 rice or 1/2 veggies 100 calories 1 Chicken or 1 Fish 300 calories 4pm Snack: Shake with Water Only 80 calories Dinner: 1/2 rice or 1/2 veggies 100 calories 1 Chicken or 1 Fish 300 calories

How the Program Works
You will spend the first 10 days at the coach's house for breakfast. This is to monitor your progress and also provide support if you have any concern. Weigh in will be done of the 6th day and on the 11th day. Now, if there has been no progress. You can't sign up for the Nutrilife Membership.
The only reason for anyone not to loss weight is if the diet plan has not been followed. Let's Talk About the Expenses 1 sachet will cost you P72.00 each and in 1 day you will be required to take 2 sachets. Now, if your coach don't do appointments during Sundays, you are required to take the Nutritional Shake but that will not be counted to the 10-Day Program. In turn,you will spend about 2 sachet for 12-13 days. 13 days x 2 sachets = 26 sachets @ P72.00 each = P 1,872.00 Now, if you've made any progress and decided to be a member that will cost you P1,857.00. That would amount to P3,729.00. The membership is extended to your spouse and is transferable to your children. There is also a renewal fee of P400.00 annually. . Here are what's in the package:
9 sachets of Nutritional Shake Mix - Dutch Chocolate Flavor - P648.00 9 sachets of Nutritional Shake Mix - Vanilla Flavor - P648.00 1 Bottle of Formula 2 Vitamins & Minerals - P600.00 1 Herbalife Bag
Total of P1,896.00 less P1,857.00 = P39.00 :)
This is not like MLM Network wherein they are required to recruit members. Being a member entitles you to 25% discount which can increase up t0 50% if you'll have bulk purchases in a month.
There is no AFTER photos yet since we've just been in this for 11 days. But I can say that this will definitely be our lifestyle of choice. 2 thumbs up for Herbalife!
In my quest of living a healthier life I've started to take C24/7 for several months. Just recently well, me and my husband also entered the 10 Day Diet Program of Herbalife.
I find it that the C24/7 helps me feel energized everyday. With that in mind, I contacted the agent who has been supplying me the supplement so that I may also avail the discount for this. But to my surprise, I was given the following instead of the Package containing more of the C24/7 and Burn Slim.
Of course, I will have it change to the one I need.
These are the concerns I have as a Newbie:
1) Are agent concern about how effective their products are or just to recruit more members?
2) I see that there are a lot of post regarding the items but are there really a market for this in the Philippines?
3) What package is this?
I talk to the agent only online because I'm also running a project based business. Most of the time we are out of town. I must admit that it was wrong for me to enter this without knowing the other products. But to my defense, I was expecting to receive more of the C24/7 package, Liven Coffee which I also love, Burn Slim and My Choco.
I singed up for 3 Packages, that would be for Entrepreneurs.
Here's what I got:
I have 3 sets of NaturaCentials
Coffee Scrub . P700.00 P2,100.00
Strawberry Face+Body Scrub P700.00 P2,100.00
Instant White Face+Body Lotion P900.00 P2,700.00
Antioxidant Facial Toner P500.00 P1,500.00
Oxygen Bar Anti Aging P150.00 P 450.00
1 box C24/7 P900.00 P900.00
1 BURN Slim P800.00 P800.00
2 Care Leaf Thermal Patch P1,300.00 P2,600.00
2 Liven Coffee + My Choco Sample Pack P0.00 P0.00
Total P13,150.00
This was just sent through a friend of ours. I'm not really sure if this is all of it. If this is it then I might as well file a complaint. I hope not though. ( I was informed that this is for 2 packages, after an hour).
Here are the packages posted online:
Given this scenario here is what I can say first to the AIM Global Agent:
Know your client. Just like any other customers, we should know what our customers want. The agent should be able to identify the type of customer he/she has.
Inform the customer the products they will be getting. That includes the price. I had to search the dealership price online. This is to eliminate doubt.
Returns Policy. This should be discussed also. It's an after sale service that should taken into consideration. Can I return the Package I don't like?
Be as active as you are after the customer signed up for the dealership. After signing up, I find it that the agent is not as fast he was in answering my inquiries. Sad but this is true in any other industries nowadays.
Don't let anyone sign up without attending the seminars. Make sure that they know the products they are getting. Networking is not just about getting recruits, there are still some of us who prefer the discounts they may get in signing up for the dealership.
For those who are planning to join AIM Global or any other MLM Network.
Know the products before joining. Yes, you may find it easy to invite another person to join but what if you encounter customers who are interested on the products? What will you say? How can you make them believe that you're a firm believer of the products you carry and not just after the referral bonus you will get?
Be hands on in choosing the package you wish to avail or else you will be stuck with the items you don't need.
Talk to your agent. Get to know your team. This is to get more support other than the agent who informed you about the MLM.
Try the products so that you can sell it better.
About the Products:
I don't have any doubt when it comes to the products since that is the reason why I signed up in the first place. The only thing that you need to consider is, does it suit your needs? REMINDER:
If you don't have enough network of friends and are not good in selling items. This is not advisable for you. You will never earn anything from referral unless you invite others to join.
An agent may promise to double your investment in 6 months, this will only happen if you refer them to your relatives and friends. That is if someone actually sign up. Before signing in to any MLM, think it through first.
A MLM is not just networking, it's a full time job. You will only benefit from it if you work hard.

'ME' on Max GXL The first time I've
encountered Max GXL was when it was recommended to me by a doctor
when I had a stomach problem about a year agothis is because I went on an extreme
diet that affected my digestion. But the problem was only the
drugstore near the hospital I went to catered the said supplement. I
was only able to take it for a month. My doctor recommended for me to take 1 tablet every after meal. Several months ago, I met a pregnant woman with a high risk pregnancy that was also taking the
supplement. With that, I've decided to continue with the supplement.
OTHER FEATURES: *Get more energy,
recover faster and sleep better. *Neutralizes free radical damages
and slows the aging process. *Removes harmful toxins and
eliminates cellular inflammation. *Strengthens the immune systems
and liver functions.
Based on my
observation: It is recommended to take 6 tablets but I only take 3 a day. 1 bottle will last for 1-2 weeks.
*The first 1-3 days I slept
earlier than usual. On the forth day, I don't feel that sleepy even
after I only slept for 4 hours. *I don't drink that much coffee
than I usually do. *I don't feel that hungry. I tend to eat a
little less than usual. *I have more focus at work. *I don't get sick even when
I'm overloaded with work.
HOW TO ORDER :
1) You'll need a credit card to secure a transaction online. I availed of the membership online and received my orders the following month. 2) To avail of the discount, you'll have to sign upfor autoship which is for 3 months. Discount is 20-30% per bottle. Minimum order is 1 box which contains 4 bottles.
If you want to try the item first, you canclick here. (Philippine based customers)
3) If you're good at selling beauty products and food supplement, you may also try becoming an independent associate yourself. Initially investment is P10,000.00 but you still get a product that is equivalent to the amount.
To become an associate is highly recommended if you are already taking the supplement. You'll have to try it yourself before recommending it to others.
IS IT SAFE TO ORDER ONLINE?
Since I don't want to go through the hassle of ordering from an agent. Frankly, I didn't have the time also. I've decided to sign up for the membership online and place the order there. This way, I get to avail the discounts and let my family try the supplement as well.
If you're not convinced yet, here's the proof:
I've been receiving the package for nine months now.

II. Registrant
A GR Registrant Card will be given to the registrant. This is usually given a month before the event and needs to be activated. Activation is usually takes 2-3 days after registration.
TIPS ON GIFT REGISTRY
The best time to have an occasion registered is at least a month or two before the said event. By this time, the invitations should be ready as well. This is to make sure that all the invited guest are aware of your gift registry.
If you registered online, make sure that you take note of your username and password. Your account needs to be confirmed by clicking a link, which you will receive on the email account you indicated. If you failed to access your email account your gift registry will not be activated.
It is also an advantage to make use of the e-announcement since everybody is online nowadays. It would be better to make a list of email addresses for this.
You can also use your Facebook Account to send invites indicating that you have a gift registry.
It is important that you inform your guests that they do not have to bring the Guest Card to avail the discount. All they have to do is provide the name of the celebrant or the Gift Registry Code. This is one of the common problems guests encounter with their wedding wherein some of their sponsors think that they have to present the Guest Card to avail the discount. Some bought items from other retail stores resulting to duplicate gifts.
Since the Registrant Card will take 2-3 days to be activated, you can make use of the Guest Card to avail the discount while waiting for the activation of the Registrant Card. Just make sure that the items you are going to buy are on your wish list.
High-end gadgets like cellphones or cameras are excluded from the 10% discount but can be included to your wish list. The discount only applies to regular prized items and cannot be used in conjunction with other promos.
