Why I chose Shaklee and decided to continue using Shaklee

Bismillahirrahmanirahim

In the name of Allah; The Most Gracious and The Most Merciful

In 2012, I was diagnosed with PCOS and my period was absent for 6 months, with a 3.2 diameter cyst on my right ovary. I have only been married for 8 months.

That was enough to break my spirit knowing that I will have to struggle with my health and fertility. Without asking much, I took the hormone treatment/pills that was prescribed to me by the Dr.

In 6 months, I gained 30 kg. I was weak, lethargy and depressed. My hair drops to no end. After a year I decided to turn my life around and fight PCOS.

I workout, reduced food intake and took supplements (Shaklee: Omega Guard, GLA Complex, Vivix and Osteometrix). It was recommended by a friend. By 2014, I managed to reduce 13kg and I managed to get pregnant.

I stopped using Shaklee right after my pregnancy, thingking I can do without it. 6 months port partum, I had prolong menstruation for 3 months. With Dr's recommendation I took progestron pills. Bleeding stopped but i struggle with my weight loss.

I hired a trainer, changed my diet (eliminate sugar, refine carbs, dairy) and begin taking shaklee again.

2015-2016- Without Shaklee/trainer/changed diet I lost 5kg of fat. I feel tired, deprived, stressed.

Jan 2017- With Shaklee/trainer/changed diet I lost 3kg of fat. I feel alot better. I am tired buy energetic,  I feel hungry and not deprived, and most important I feel happy.

When I started using Shaklee, it was because of a friend's recommendation. But after the changes that I go through with and without Shaklee, I have decided to continue with Shaklee to reverse my PCOS symptoms and to try and get pregnant without using clomid.

Shaklee is the only company that conduct landmark study on nutrition and the consumption of its product and it is certified Halal.

Landmark Study by Shaklee

Insya Allah, with the right exercise, right diet, supplements and alot od Dua, I am feeling hopeful!

May Allah answers the silent prayers in our hearts.

Amin

January 2017- A Good Start

Bismillahirahmanirrahim

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious and Most Merciful.

2017 has begun and I am off to a good start. I have plans up my sleeves, but have been procrastinating it to no end.

I don't know why, but mostly it is due to my fear of failure.

A friend used to tell me:

"Fear nothing but fear itself"

I suppose now, she is absolutely right. Fear has prevented me to do so many things.

After all, if I don't try, I won't know and if I don't fail, I won't grow.

My main aim for 2017 is to reverse the Polycystic Ovaries Syndrome that has been with me since 2011.

And so my journey begins. With PCOS, it is very difficult to lose weight. So after reading alot of clinical research on nutrition, diets and exercise for PCOS,

  • Consume the right food/diet  (whole food, avoid refine carbs, sugar);
  • Do the right workout/exercise (HIIT, Strength Training, Cardio)
  • Take the right supplements (Omega 3, Omega 6, multivitamins)
My choice of supplement is Shaklee. 

The verdict:-

Without Shaklee
September - December 2009 : I lost 2 KG Fat

With Shaklee
January 2017: I lost 3 KG Fat 


I have along way to go.

May Allah make things easy for me and for everyone who struggles to achieve their dreams.

Amin
