    Basically what @psuLemon said. Herbalife is a subpar product because of it's subpar ingredients, yet they charge an ultra premium price for it. Doesn't make sense...

    Besides that, I can't see how anyone would think that a real fruit smoothie with whole ingredients and a quality protein powder doesn't sound like something more appealing to eat than a powdered drink that costs much more.

    One thing I did find interesting, Herbalife actually makes one of the highest quality meal replacement shakes: https://labdoor.com/rankings/meal-replacements

    And when she saw my son, who was 4 months old at the time, and told me I should replace some of his milk with herbalife formula 1 cause she thought he was far (he was lol but he was breastfed and a baby) walked out of there and never looked back.

    That is... I don't even have the words! Grossly ignorant, for starters. What a maroon.

    Well, I'll be damned...

    but still not as "quality" as making your own.

    Even with that you still have to consider the whole pyramid scheme. Just mention Herbalife in any thread on any board and watch the 'one post wonders' show up trying to sell praising it. And if any of your friends start selling it be prepared to listen to their sales pitch non stop.

    In one of my many searches of a quick fix to my obesity I encountered a herbalife life coach.

    That coach had no idea how to excersice but yet she felt like she could teach people to move and taught them incorrect form.

    She knew nothing about nutrition.. Told us to eat couscous cause it was gluten free (for those who don't know it's definitely not gluten free) and to stay away from fruit cause of the carbs. I didn't drink caffeine at the time and she tried to convince me that the herbalife tea had no stimulating ingredients, not even caffeine..

    And when she saw my son, who was 4 months old at the time, and told me I should replace some of his milk with herbalife formula 1 cause she thought he was far (he was lol but he was breastfed and a baby) walked out of there and never looked back.

    So my point here is... Á lifestyle coach is not qualified to help you or trained to give you advice. They know *kitten* about nutrition and some of them don't even know what's in the product they're trying to sell you.
    Everyone can become a lifestyle coach for herbalife, they just have to buy the license and go out there and sell the product. No qualification needed or anything.

    Just eat clean healthy food and you're good. And if you wanna add strength training, get someone who knows what they're doing to teach you the correct form.

    My mother bought some and gave it to me. Meh ... I make my own smooths with vegetables, fruits & protein powder. Only takes a few minutes and much better for you

    curious - how does the protein you add differ to a Herbalife product that does the same or similar job?

    So for a fraction of the price, you can get higher quality protein powders: https://labdoor.com/rankings/protein

    And yes, there are a lot worse protein powders out there, there are also a lot higher quality.


    Makes sense. Thank you
