If saying Herbalife and other scams are unhealthy, expensive, unnecessary, unpleasant, and even dangerous, is hating and being rude, I'll never stop hating and being rude.
Honestly I think advertising there products in here shouldn't be allowed in the first place.0 -

TBH, I wish they were a banned topic on here.
I see too many people who post about being curious about Herbalife/Shakeology/ect, and then distributors/"coaches" trying to prey on them.
If you have a financial interest in these products, you should be banned from the site.

Sometimes I wonder how many of these posts are started by people that are genuinely curious and how many are really started by sock puppet accounts ran by a distributor.

Herbalife is a great company with many products. People can call it a pyramid scheme but who cares about selling it. My friend is a sales rep and got the job within the company based on losing over 60 lbs using their products. She don't just use one she uses it all. She looks great and like any diet she is very active now that weight is off.
I have also installed equipment in Herbalife's biggest usa plant. No scheme. The company is legit and spends a lot to get the best product to the end users. If it works for you keep it up. Some people are biased. Yes it works, but so does naturally eating healthy and exercise.-5 -

It's just a supplement company. Not a career.......lose weight any way you can. Why people knock a company that is constantly helping people lose weight boggles me.
So you go to GNC and buy their protein powder, what's the difference????

Oh, and then there were the people that were made sick and died because of the ephedrine in it - it was illegal to sell in Southern California for a long time due to this.
Lawsuit after lawsuit, investigation and illegalities galore. If that's how you want to throw your money and your health away, go for it. I highly recommend against it.

It's great that your "coach" (lol) keeps you motivated. If buying overpriced worthless products keeps you motivated, then keep doing it. (I'm being serious). But so long as you realize that those products have zero impact on whether you lose weight or not.0

It's no different than MuscleTech. People use their products and don't bash. To each their own. I personally don't use any products. Just get your lazy *kitten* motivated to work out/run is the key and the hardest part. Eat right and workout and it falls off rapidly.
People on here are quick to judge and bash people's ideas but what works for someone may not work for you. We are all different mentally and physically. Hell you can give a person a placebo and they feel like it works. What drives you mentally is all that matters.
All I know is I will drop 30 lbs in about 30 days. So you do you and I will do me

GNC sells a lot of bullchit products too. I wouldn't tell people to go to GNC to buy fat burner pills or raspberry ketones.
Unlike herbalife products, protein is scientifically proven to help build and repair muscle.

You lost 9 lbs, but it's not fat loss. It's mainly water weight.

Once you damage your liver and other organs with this garbage, you can't fix them back to how they were before. I strongly advise you to ditch this scam product and the "coach" aka sales person who is selling it to you. None of us here want to see yet another person harmed through this quackery. Please if you value your health stop using it!!!0

By doing herbalife your kinda just paying large sums of money to make yourself ill, have you actually seen the caffeine content? A group of my friends started it, like any good old fad diet they started off by losing lots of weight obviously because of the calorie deficit and caffeine boosts but then they all got ill, headaches, palpitations, anxiety, shakes, fainting when standing up... even after stopping it two of my friends continued to be quite ill for a while. after visiting the doctors it turns out that the herbalife actually contains toxic substances such as very high amounts of LEAD.
i do not know how it is legal, please stop it and just eat natural healthy foods and excercise... losing weight naturally and gradually is the only way you are going to keep it off.0 -

Oh noes, didn't you read what he wrote ..he has a "friend" who sells it and she is amazing and skinny :huh:
Scam artist seeks scammers to believe everything he writes
And 30lb in 30 days ...dude no! That is so not 30lbs of fat lost, that's a helluva lot of glycogen and water stores and LBM lost...poor muscle ....on day 31-35 you will gain back 10-15lbs just by eating normal food...and then you'll have to bulk to regain muscle and it's so much harder building muscle than preserving what you have already0 -
I think they've legalized Herb4Life in Colorado. I am not sure anyone is going to live forever on. . . .wait. . . .you are asking about something else. Sorry MLM, pyramid scheme, waste of money. . .0
