The main thing with those programs is you never learn to eat normally... You go on a diet, lose weight, gain it back when you return to normal food and then you need to buy more shakes.
But if you want to replace meals with shakes for any reason (convenience, etc), you'll get more bang for your buck with a decent protein powder and multivitamin.4 -

I use herbalife and have lost 2.5 stone.. more healthy now than ever and more energy.. I also sell it. It's an amazing product. The only way you wouldn't lose weight is if your not consistent.-1 -

Herbalist is not a scam. I've lost 2.5 stone and am healthier now than before, cired my pre diabetes too and helpedal my pcos.. shop bought proteins and vits etc are only 30-50% pure whereas herbalist is 99.7% pure.0 -

Deja vous. Spooky!From a sports therapist type I know: "The only people who ever have anything good to say about Herbalife are those trying to sell it."
We recently witnessed this in a thread about another MLM scam. The only person who commented positively about it was a person who was a distributor (salesperson) for that particular product. Everybody else in the thread agreed that it was unnecessary and ineffective. Funny how that works.
Set up a reasonable calorie goal and stick to it consistently. That's all you need to do to lose weight. No MLM scam product will make weight loss happen any faster or more effectively. Mix in a little exercise (whatever you like best and will stick to) for general health/fitness and you're golden.2 -

I've lost 85lbs and am way healthier and haven't paid a cent (much less hundreds of dollars) to a multi level marketing company that recruits uneducated people to schill is products for discounts on their own stash. Guess who i think is better off?

What's Herbalist? I think you're talking about a different product. Otherwise it's not very confidence inspiring that you don't know the name of what you're selling.10 -

Yeah it's a common scam by the MLM folk. Start a thread pretending to be someone wanting opinions, then reply with another account saying how great it is.
Another reason i have no respect for them. If the product was so amazing, why have to trick people into buying it?
And it's just amazing how often the people selling it are first time posters who just happen to find a brand new thread asking about it. It's almost like they just know that someone has asked!13 -

At first I thought it was auto correct, but if so, that autocorrect is failing them at every other turn.2 -

From a sports therapist type I know: "The only people who ever have anything good to say about Herbalife are those trying to sell it."
Hmmm, I'm not someone who sells it and I use it AND recommend it. I'm technically a "distributor" but I don't pay extra and I get a discount. I do not sell it, I refuse to, I just buy it for myself and use it. I've lost about 12 pounds on it so far, and I have learned portion control through my own healthy dinners. I don't take the pills though, they are gross and I don't believe in miracle pills. However, a meal replacement shake from herbalife is great quality and works if you stick to it. Tastes good and makes ya feel good.0 -

So the fact it's been linked to liver damage doesn't concern you?7 -

Not that I support herbalife,but the notion that 3 anomalies qualifies as causation is a bit disturbing; especially considering the links between herbalife and liver issues happened in 2010. A time period in which a ton of protein shakes were linked to high levels of heavy metals. And this doesn't even take into consideration how often the formula has been changed (this goes for all protein shakes).
Do I think it's worth the money.. no, but I feel the same way about all MLM and over priced protein shakes. Are they quality.. I can't say because I haven't seen any independent research.
But if it's a product that helps people get on track and get fit, and they don't mind spending the money, then it's fine.1 -

Exactly. The macro profiles aren't great and certainly not worth the inflated cost, but beyond that...0
