Does Herbalife Really Work?

Lexie_Herbastar

Hey everyone!

My name is Lexie and I have recently started using herbalife. I have joined Myfitnesspal to track my progress and meet great new people! Just a little background about myself. I am 23yr old currently weigh in @ 211 – 5’3. I am an inspiring solo artist whose dream is to just have enough confidence to get on stage.
This past year has a been a difficult year and over the course of this 8 I have gained about 55-60 lbs. Recently I stumbled across some youtube videos about “Herbalife fitness journeys” and it inspired me. It inspired me so much that I started a vlog via youtube to document my transformation while using Herbalife. As any over weight person would know I don’t have a lot of confidence when my clothes don’t fit right, or when they don’t fit at all. I have chosen the path with herbalife to help me overcome my life struggle with my weight. Through my journey you will see me change and become a happier healthier person. I will be posting videos every week with my updated progress weight and inches. My goal is gain more confidence and maintain a healthy life style. I am not an ordinary person and I know my weight holds me back from a lot of things. But I am here now, and I am not stopping until I reach my goal. I can not wait to share the tears of joys and accomplishments with my fit fam!
Feel free to add me, we can motivate each other!
My youtube channel is up and running, videos will be uploaded bi weekly.

The MLM runs strong in this one.

IDK but I heard it was expensive.

Sure it works...

It works at taking your hard earned money out of your pocket.

I agree, but don't take my word for it. All the evidence you need can be found here:

If you have purchased Herbalife, see if you can return it for a refund or flush it down the sink.

Amazing bump from a person who sells it.

Hi,

It can work, but only if you take to heart the whole mantra of the plan; nutrition. It isn't magic. You can't drink a shake on a morning and then carry on as usual for the rest of the day. You really do need to embrace the snacking on healthy/high protein items and likely adjust your regular meal habits as well. The whole general idea is to reduce your calorie intake, increase your protein intake and curb hunger by regular nutritional snacks. As a result, you will naturally feel like you have more energy, weight drops off and you generally have hunger cravings under control.

If you try to "adjust" this plan after a few weeks, which I'm sure many do after initial results, you can expect to gain the majority of weight back, as the vast majority of what you lose in the first weeks is likely to be glycogen and water, which the body can store a lot of from unhealthy eating. It takes serious time to lose real fat. 3500 calories burned for 1 pound of fat lost. Do the numbers.

I do think you can replicate the majority of this through careful eating, particularly at breakfast, and adding a few protein bars to your diet.

I personally use it because it is a convenient way for me to get what my body needs on a morning and I live in a country where its Herbalife OR really pro protein shakes aimed at weightlifters. If I had other options, I would probably opt for them, as I don't think Herbalife is worth the premium.

One thing I'll say is that I really don't like Herbalife as a company. They brain wash their sales people into working for free, teasing them that they can refer a few people, effectively eat for free, manipulate them into trying to make a career out of it and investing for higher discounts and then it dawns on the agents that the only way they can make a living from it is to try and get other people to repeat all the things they themselves did to get to that stage. Herbalife popularity and growth is funnelled by a Ponzi like scheme. As a result, discussions with agents can often feel forced and desperate on their part.

Balanced review.
