Everybody must heard herbalife at least once. I did Herbalife once with all their "medicine" that said block calories, blablabla.. but nothing really effected me. And back then, I hate their shake so bad. Because of doing Korean Diet, especially IU Diet, I decided to buy one as my protein shake meal in the evening. And thanks to youtube, I learned how to make a delicious shake using Herbalife Formula 1. The recipe is simple :
And It's delicious, I love chocolate one, and sometime I add oats to the blender. You can be super creative with the recipe. If I want it to be cookies and cream, I add 3 tsp of Crushed Oreo to it, or If I want an apple flavor, I add apple instead of banana, and replace the milk with water or coconut water. Don't get me wrong, it's super delicious. And if you do it right, you get these creamy texture, almost like an ice cream. The mixed fiber gave a slight apple flavor to it, but no big problem of it. I want to maintain and maybe lost some weight off, by doing these Herbalife Shake for morning and evening. For the first week, nothing happened, my weight are the same, but on the second weight, my mouth started to miss eating once in a while. I'm still eating normal for lunch, but sometime after finish the Herbalife Shake, your mouth still wants just bite something, not just liquid diet. I gave up one night, and ended up eating a healthy noodle. After 2 weeks of drinking my meal for breakfast and dinner plus eating normal for lunch, my weights were up a little, don't know how. And my gastric problem was back.
Disclaimer : I do these Herbalife diet, only using Herbalife Formula 1 and Mixed Fiber, I bought it online. and I do it on my own without their coach. These liquid diet don't really work for me, maybe because drinking milk everyday, and a lot of soy on my diet, makes my hormon crazy imbalance, ( I have Acnes these 2 weeks). Also I miss eating, chewing. I still have my Herbalife Formula 1, probably going to drink it if I want to, because I love the taste and you could be crazy creative with it.

Not gonna lie, I'm addicted to sugar. I love everything sweet, desserts is my favorite time. I don't say I blame my parents how to raise me with sugar, they never strict about what I ate. They give me ice cream for snack, they allowed me to buy one box of Kit Kat, and all my teenage days until now, I struggle with weight. In Indonesia back then, if you made it to dean's list, the school, sponsored by a doughnut's chain store, would give you a dozen of doughnuts for free, for your achievement. Sugar = Reward One time, my biology teacher asked me if my family had history of diabetic, because she said my legs are too thin for my big figure. I always love my long thin legs, because I have those body whose fat is all over my stomach and arms, but my legs are always fine. I asked my mother, she said her sister died of diabetic. It's a first wake up call. My mom got diabetic, or discovered she has diabetic years a go. She went to these doctor in local area, where the queue are crazy. So many people are diabetic, including my mom. I was so proud that my mom in a way started out of her diabetic medication, the doctor praised her. She got a problem in her feet, because of diabetic that made her so lazy to move. Bu then, yesterday, she fall worse. And the doctor decided it's time that my mom use injection as medication. If you heard injection, you thought insulin, that means her diabetic become so worse. My father has been on sugar and meat diet, but somehow my mom who eats together with him still fall worse in sugar. Today is the first day My Mom use Victoza, medication injection to treat diabetes type 2. I help injected her with the medication, she said it doesn't hurt or anything. But then I read it on website (yes they put it on their official website) that Victoza could lead into possible thyroid tumors. My father has cancer, and I'm afraid deep down that my Mom who never really took care of her body might have one, too. So, yes, it's truly give me scares. Second wake up call.
These experiences taught me many things about health. Your body is your responsibility and your job to maintain it. My weights are still uncontrollable, I still have my PCOS, I do have those ENT's problem. I don't know if everything are related, but I heard PCOS related to diabetic somehow. Learn it from experience, and do maintain it. Another post with bahasa... Udah 2 minggu ini, badan gatal2 setelah mandi. Sebenernya sudah dimulai sejak entah kapan, tapi datang dan pergi, ga selalu habis mandi. Tetapi belakangan pasti setelah mandi, makanya jadi males mandi.. hahaha.. lebih memilih ga mandi daripada harus menderita gatal seluruh badan. Akhirnya ga bisa fokus korean skin care full 10 steps. Anehnya atau untungnya muka ga terpengaruh, tetapi badan, dari dada, tangan, kaki ampe kadang alat vital pun bisa gatel ga jelas kenapa. Dan hari ini habis mandi, langsung gatal seluruh badan sampai bingung mau garuk yang mana, akhirnya cuma bisa menikmati gatalnya tanpa menggaruk. Oh iya gatal tanpa ada terlihat jelas ada perubahan di kulit, seperti sisik bentol atau apapun tidak ada. Kemaren sempet ada bintik2 tapi ga lama hilang, malah yang ada luka karena keasikkan garuk-garuk. Dalam 2 minggu, udah 2 kali terbangun pas tidur karena gatel di punggung. Nyokap ada ngomong suru minum obat cacing. Sampai sekarang sih curiga ke air tanah (karena di rumah mandi air tanah), dari 5 orang di rumah, 2 orang gatal makanya curiga ke sana. Tetapi ART yang gatal beda, kulitnya jadi flek-flek gitu. Karena curiga ama air tanah di rumah, udah 3 kali memutuskan mandi di kantor aja, yang walau sama-sama air tanah tetapi beda area. Selama mandi di kantor sih masih gatal tapi berkurang jauh. Bisa kebetulan atau bener-bener ngefek, ga jelas juga, karena pas mandi ke 2 kali masih gatel-gatel juga tapi langsung hilang. Gara-gara teman ada sebut air tanah nya di filter, jadi inget pernah liat ada celebgram pernah nge post dia mandi pake shower head yang difilter dan ada injeksi vitamin C nya. Memang dia post pasti karena di sponsor, tetapi yah coba aja. setelah search ternyata harganya lumayan pricey, hampir 1 juta. Itupun belum termasuk tabung vitamin C nya yang harus diganti entah setiap berapa lama sekali. Akhirnya beli versi murahnya di tokopedia, sama-sama filter shower head, karena yang dicari memang filternya bukan si vitamin C nya.
Nah yang ke dua, baru saja tadi pagi, dan akhirnya datang lagi tuh gatal seluruh badan. Saking gatalnya, sampai bingung mau garuk yang mana. Akhirnya nyerah, memutuskan mencoba menikmati gatal nya. Ketika diam, tiduran dan mencoba tenang membiarkan gatalnya datang, bener-bener beda rasanya, tiba-tiba kerasa aja di badan kaya tiba-tiba ada tombol gatel di badan dipencet sana sini muncul-muncul semua. Kalo bisa nyala, udah nyala lampu gatal di badan di sana sini. Sudah pake lotion dan Caladine biar meredakan tapi ga ngefek, gatelnya terus-terusan selama 15 menit. Ipar punya cerita yang hampir sama sebenernya, dia sudah ke dokter alergi dan dibilangnya dia ada penyakit autoimun. Ipar orangnya bersih banget, saking bersihnya, si imun badan dia ga punya kerjaan dan mencoba menyerang badan sendiri, jadilah gatal-gatal dia. Solusi untuk ipar adalah memberi badannya bakteri baik buat jadi tugas si imun atau singkatnya, minum yakult setiap hari. Nah kalo dia orangnya bersih, saya tidak bisa dibilang bersih. Hahaha.. Tapi kalo dimasukkin logika, itu bener, kalo ga mandi, badan kan kotor, ga ada gatal. Tapi masa ga mandi seumur hidup, jadi inget si dekil dari komik Monika (ada yang baca juga?), yang alergi banget sama air. Move on dari Dekil. Coba google google penyakit (ga disarankan karena kadang yang ada bikin takut dan parno), ketemu namanya Aquagenic Pruritus, yang sampai sekarang sih penjelasannya paling masuk akal, yaitu penyakit di mana penderita nya mengalami gatal-gatal setelah tersentuh air atau terpapar udara lembab, tanpa terdapat gejala kasat mata. Dan baca-baca, tidak ada obatnya karena tidak diketahui penyebabnya. Dokter paling hanya memberikan obat untuk mengurangi rasa gatalnya.
Masih mau mencoba berjuang, walau kadang suka ngomong ga suka mandi, tapi ketika tidak bisa mandi, menderita juga. Ada yang nyeletuk bercanda coba mandi pake air Aqua, ngaruh tidak kalo bener alergi air tanah. Next, mau mencoba mandi pake dettol. Oh ya, kalo ngomongin sabun, sabun yang dipake sih sabun cair nya Dettol, yang udah bertahun-tahun dipakai tidak masalah. |
