CELL-U-LOSS!

Lose the Water Retention! Do you hate your Wobbly Tummy & flabby arms?
Take CELL-U-LOSS!

A supplement to help reduce fluid accumulation in the body.

Dimpled skin may form when fatty tissues in certain parts of the body accumulate fluid and wastes.

Cell-U-Loss is designed to tackle the persistent problem of fluid accumulation.


Key Benefits:
  • A vitamin, mineral and herbal blend to help reduce fluid accumulation. 
  • Helps to improve the skin's appearance especially when dieting.

Fast Facts:
  • A combination of calcium and potassium helps regulate fluid balance.
  • A blend of herbs, including buchu, uva ursi and corn silk, have natural aquaretic (fluid mobilizing) properties.
  • Includes lecithin, apple cider vinegar and vitamin C.

Mummies Herb Verdict: I have lots of water retention in my body especially after birth. So when I read about Cell-U-Loss being able to improve skin appearance and to reduce my tummy (my biggest painpoint!) and flabby arms (i tried lifting weights to get rid of my "byebye" flabby arms... to no avail too!), I wasted no time in trying this product! It did work! Yeah! My tummy and arms are much trimmer now within 2 weeks! But I need to improve it further! And oh yes, a gentle reminder that you really need to drink up lots of water to prevent getting heaty and for Cell-U-Loss to be really effective!

Herbal Tea Concentrate

An uplifting drink for vitality and weight management!


To optimise weight loss, our body needs to be adequately hydrated! This delicious low-calorie tea-mix can be savored throughout the day for a natural energy lift.

It includes the thermogenic and antioxidant properties of green tea, making it ideal as part of a nutritious weight-loss program.

  • Enjoy it hot or cold.

Mummies Herb Verdict: I love green tea and was equally skeptical when I was told that I can burn calories while I drink it and that 1 litre of this herbal tea is equivalent to 20mins of running! It was amazing! Without much delay, I started to drink it religiously and was drinking 1.5L of tea daily and combined with 1.5L of water daily and I was amazed at my weight loss! (Oh yes, not to forget mentioning... I had to run to the ladies much more often with the increase in fluid intake!)

Herbal Aloe Drink (Concentrate)

A refreshing beverage that detoxify your body!



Stress, coffee, cigarette smoke, lack of sleep and poor eating habits can upset the stomach and impair digestion and absorption of nutrients. Herbal Aloe Drink brings relief and regulate your body!

The aloe plant is known to contain many beneficial substances, including enzymes, vitamins, minerals and amino acids.


Herbal Aloe Drink combines the goodness of aloe, with a delicious citrus twist for a healthy digestive system.



Key Benefits:
  • Supports internal cleansing and digestive health. 
  • Soothes the digestive system.

Fast Facts:
  • Made from premium-quality, whole-leaf aloe vera. 
  • Includes the soothing benefits of chamomile. 
  • Free from bitter-tasting aloin.


Mummies Herb Verdict: I have been taking my Herbal Aloe twice a day, first thing in the morning when i wake up and 30mins before I goes to bed. I like it mixed with warm water, but remember never to mix it with hot water as it will destroy the nutrients found in the drink.


Also, if you like to consume gassy drink, try to shake the mixture after u add in 3 capful of Herbal Aloe with the gassy drink and you will find yourself with a sparkling and refreshing Aloe drink! 

Herbal Aloe has helped to detox not only my body but my face! I have always had a "pimple-less" face and is always the envy of my friends, however, after taking Herbal Aloe... pimples start to appear! It is not because the product is not suitable for me, however, as I continued to drink the Herbal Aloe, I realised that it is purging my skin of all the impurities that has been hidden beneath my skin for years! And now I am back to my pimple-less skin and my skin appears to be even more radiant! Yeah! Thumbs up for it and highly recommended for those seeking weight loss and maintenance of a healthy body!

Formula 1 Nutritional Shake Mix

What I am going to introduce to you is what I had started with for my weight loss programme! I started with the Formula 1 Nutritional Shake Mix, the Herbal Aloe Drink – Concentrate as well as the Herbal Concentrate (Green Tea).

Formula 1 Nutritional Shake Mix comes in three mouth watering flavors!
It's scientifically formulated to give you the nutrition of a complete meal, satisfying your hunger and your taste buds for easier, healthier weight loss

Key Benefits:
  • Three delicious flavors, French Vanilla, Dutch Chocolates and Tropical Fruit.
  • Helps you feel full, satisfied and energetic.
  • Rich in dietary fibre and soy protein.
  • Contains vitamins and minerals, including the most important antioxidants A, C and E!



Fast Facts:
  • 9 grams of healthy soy protein isolate with isoflavones per serving.
  • Includes the antioxidant vitamins C and E. Contains Aminogen®, plus bromelain and papain, to support protein digestion.
  • Diets low in saturated fat and cholesterol that include 25 grams of soy protein may reduce the risk of heart disease.



Suggested Usage:
Blend, three flat scoops or two heaping scoops of Formula 1 Nutritional Shake Mix with 400ml of nonfat milk or soy milk or plain cold water.

For those looking to slim down, replace two meals a day with a shake, as part of your Weight-Loss Program.
For weight maintenance, enjoy one shake a day as a meal replacement or in addition to your regular meals for general good health.
And even for those looking to gain weight! You can have a shake on top of your usual meal for any of the meals!

For just $3 a shake a day, you can improve your body well being. To embark on the weight loss program, replace 2 meals with the shakes for just $6!

Mummies Herb Verdict: I am a chocoholic so literally, anything chocolately goes! The Dutch Chocolate Shake Mix is delicious when mixed with cold water or even blended with ice or reduced sugar soy milk! But remember to mix it well before consumption!

For the initial 2 weeks, I replace 2 meals with the shake during the weekdays for breakfast and lunch and am happy to say that I have no cravings for other food as the shake itself is very satisfying and makes me feel full after taking it. And for weekends, I replaced only 1 meal usually breakfast so that I can enjoy lunch and dinner with families and friends. With this schedule in place, I have lost 3kgs within 3 weeks!

For myself I prefer to mix the shake with cold water with a few ice cubes to make it into a really icy milkshake especially when I am rushing or on the go. Otherwise, I will experiment and add in fruits such as pear, apples, kiwi, dragonfruit, grapes and you will be surprised with what kind of flavor you might be getting! Have fun and have a shake to a healthy you!

Health is Happiness!

Have you ever thought about the connection between happiness and good health? Most of us would probably agree that there is a connection, but many of us who feel unhappy don't want to take the time to build a foundation of good health. 

Good health can be the launching pad for great things. Think about when you are feeling under the weather. It is hard to stay on track and consistent with your goals when your body isn't up to the challenge. It is extremely important to make sure your body stays in great shape if you want to enjoy all that life has to offer. 

I started to take a very serious look at my health when I fainted out of the blue due to extreme sudden pain at my back and was temporary paralysed neck down. I had my first occurrence of "slipped disc" and what the doctor told me did not came as a surprise but it was definitely an alarm that woke me up! He told me a matter of fact that I was overweight (70kg at 1.57m built!) and therefore my spine cannot withstand my weight. It was a life changing moment for me and from there on, I was always trying to lose weight and lose it healthily!

Who am I?

I am a full time working mum and a proud mummy to 2 pretty princesses. Like all mums I only want the best for my family. Hence, I am a strong believer in breastfeeding. It provides all the wonderful nutrients and health benefits to my children. I believe that with healthy eating habits, they will benefit when I breastfeed them.

My Problems:
I always thought that breastfeeding & eating normally will help me to lose all the weight I gained during pregnancy. I lost 16kg within the first 8 months when I breastfed my first daughter. However, with my second daughter, it was not the same. I had difficulty shedding 17kg I gained during my pregnancy. Even when she turned one, I was still 5kg heavier than my pre-pregnancy weight. I felt sad because I want to look my best. I began to watch my diet and hitting the gym four times a week. I also began to use body contouring products with the hope of looking good again. My efforts were in vain. My tummy and arms remain flabby and my weight stagnant. I began to lose hope.

The Turning Point:
By coincidence, one of my colleagues invited me to a 'healthy lunch'. We reached a studio named WellnessXpert. To my surprise, they were promoting Herbalife products! (Note: Herbalife is not new to me, I had tried Herbalife’s shake many years ago when I was trying to slim down but the shake tasted yucky then!) All my radar went up! I was skeptical… ok, new packaging I thought… it took me a lot of courage to actually step into the studio but as I did not want to disappoint my colleagues so I entered with them. Sitting quietly, I ordered my shake and drinks and told myself… even if its going to be my first and last time, at least I should give it another try. I saw the ingredients that they listed on the board for "Today’s Special" and what was included in the shake, and noted that they have added fruits and oats into the shake. I was given a glass of Aloe Vera drink, followed by the shake and then a glass of refillable green tea. The shake was unexpectedly tasty! This trip to WellnessXpert changed my entire concept of Herbalife!

I bought a set of the shakes and aloe and tea back to try on my own and there was no turning back. I started to lose weight within that first week. Dropped 1kg and in the 2nd week, I dropped another kilogram! I have also reduced the number of gym sessions from 4 session a week to just 2 session a week. Now I am able to spend quality time at work and at home with my girls. The products gave me energy and I wasn’t lethargic! I felt as if I had been refreshed and renewed! 

With a new found zest, it is definitely going to be an exciting journey for me with Herbalife as I continue to take the shake. I wish to try the rest of their products and write my thoughts on them. And at the same time, I hope I can help fellow mummies or anyone else in need to not only look good, feel good but to start their own journey to healthy living!
