So yea, someone tried to tell me that on Facebook. This was the first I had heard something this outlandish. Not only is it the "nectar of the gods", it burns the same amount of calories as it has in it so you net 0 when you drink a shake. Other words of wisdom from the same person.... it takes 9 calories to process 1 gram of protein so for every gram of protein you eat, you actually net -5 calories per gram... You can eat unlimited HerbalLife shakes and unlimited chicken breasts and you will never gain weight!

That is all. Just a vent.

    Sounds legit. I think I'll pick some up after I finish wiring bail money to my long-lost friend in Nigeria.

    This is crazy.....the whole "negative calorie" food thing. The list used to be veggies (and fruit...yeah right). Now it's protien too! Miraculous!

    Does that include chasing the chicken around a yard like Rocky Balboa?

    OP - your most explains why there are so many struggling overweight people. So much BS in the world, so little common sense, and so many "experts" who have it all wrong.

    In for the unlimited chicken breasts.

    With of course unlimited white chocoloate peanut butter spread on top.

    And unlimited beer.

    Well this brings a new level of crazy to Herbalife.

    I'm curious... how old is this person who was giving out this "advice"?

    Could also be someone who's bought into HerbalLife and isn't here for anyone pointing out the truth of it, lol.

    I await vigorous, reasoned debate on the subject in this thread.

    Let me guess, the catch is I have to be running on the treadmill while I drink the nasty thing.

    Please do! Actually, please send it to my Aunt in the Ukraine. We have made contact and she has agreed to facilitate my release.

    Eurgh, one of my close friends was using this stuff for a while. At a little get together she sold the remainder of the HerbalLife to another friend who wanted to slim down for her holiday, with the advice 'don't take it right before you go away, because you'll have awful diarrhoea, be pale, and feel lethargic and weak all the time'... the friend still bought them o.O
