    bullet point format:

    Used it, it's ok, depressing if used as directed. real food good.
    Nice to have on hand when rushed, need quick meal
    most likely better served with whey protein shake (on whey good brand)
    personally have a few tubs on hand if needed, use chewy time food otherwise.
    below this post you'll have haters and sellers and a few, very few, who will promote it as a successful answer
    use it for what it should be in the first place - a meal replacement when you really really need to replace a meal on a minute notice.

    I have just started using the shakes. I am only 4ft 11 and use a wheelchair, therefore my calorie limits are very low. I like the taste of the shake and find that it is a quick and easy way to get my meal while keeping cals low.

    Feel free to add me as a friend if you like.

    I used it for three months before signing on as a distributor. I felt a lot better after using their products after just a few days and have been using them for almost 9 months now.

    I've seen some amazing success stories with the products, and a minority that it doesn't agree with, too.

    In my opinion, it's easy mode. What I mean by that is that you can have great success by eating the right foods in the right quantities, but for people like me who's idea of cooking is heat up the oven or microwave and put processed food inside for X amount of time, it's fantastic. It's allowed me to pursue a more healthy lifestyle while I wade through tons of information and misinformation about nutrition, exercise, proper eating, and so on, and head up the rather steep learning curve of cooking good food that tastes good without ruining the nutritional value and/or overdoing things like butter, salt, etc. Two properly made shakes during the day for breakfast and lunch and I'm fine till dinner, with maybe a small snack of fruit or greek yogurt or something similar. I'm not starving when dinner rolls around, and I'm sitting at around 500-600 calories going into dinner, which allows me a good amount of leway for the last meal of the day.

    In short, it's not a magic bullet, but they are good products in my opinion. Not perfect, but certainly good. My latest results were 9lbs and 2% body fat lost during the month of June, and that was with two weeks of not exercising.

    We have shakes for breakfast, sometimes lunch... I just like the shakes. I like how they taste and I like how easy they are. I don't follow their "two shakes and a meal" plan, I incorporate the shakes as meals or snacks into my regular calorie counting. I get a huge discount cause my mom is a few rungs up on the MLM ladder. It works out to be reasonably priced and I don't have to buy a million things for my husband to pack for lunches. I'm down 40 lbs ish from a combination of herbalife, clean eating, and watching calories. I've introduced some less than clean things back into my diet - beer and ice cream - and my weight loss has slowed but not stalled.

    If you like it and it tastes good and you can afford it, I say go for it. You should still be weighing and measuring your food or you risk gaining it back...

    The founder of Herbalife, who had a 9th grade level education, was sued by the FDA over false health claims and the schemes used to sell them. A problem he dealt with by going on a 4 day drinking binge, causing the greatest of all medical issues, death.

    So, totally legit.

    If only more people would do the same....
    It would benefit the gene pool greatly

    I tried it.

    Lost 14lbs in the first month when I don't weigh that much to begin with.
    Gained everything right back when I started craving real food.
    Now I have about 13 opened canisters in my closet that I can't return :grumble:

    It's not worth it. Just eat real food at a deficit and you'll lose weight. Eat food at your maintenance calories, and you'll maintain your weight. Eat food at a surplus to gain weight. You don't need to drink shakes to reach any of these goals. Save your money.

    Did the wellness coach, from who u bought the food, made you a program what to eat?

    I eat 5 times a day, and it is not only shakes. My food includes, meat, vegetables, fruit, kernels, milk products etc. I removed the junk food and soda, white sugar, white salt and products made with white flour. I have a lots of energy and better dreams with this type of food.

    I tried it, but I actually wasn't wild about the limited flavors. I lost a little, but it wasn't the amount they claimed I would lose, and I was really dedicated for the first month! I much Prefer my Body By Vi shakes!

    Oh, and to the OP, Herballife is a waste of money.

    I was told 2 shakes, 2 snacks and 1 "healthy" meal a day. It was not sustainable for me. I prefer real food all day long. I'm losing on poptarts and hamburgers now, not crappy shakes. :bigsmile:

    That does it. My all time favorite new claim. Improved dreams. That beats saying it cures cancer.

    Sry mate, my English it's not ok. I wanted to say that I had problems before with falling a sleep and waking up from bed.

    Yes, I have been using it for 2 weeks. I have 2 shakes a day and I have a real dinner in moderation. I also work out 3 times a week for 1 hour. I am seeing great results.

    isnt this the same as slim fast? haha its a scam...and if you look at the ingredients its not even healthy for you...like some people have commented once you stop drinking 2 shakes a day...what happens? you gain all the weight back...eat whole healthy foods (fruits, veggies etc) and the weight will fall off with time...anything that happens over night or in a few weeks is temporary because your habits havent changed

    We all have a choice, that is urs. I made my choice because I think they are great because of the 220 calories and nutrients, and in the last 6 weeks I dont have food cravings. :)))

    Got it, sorry to tease. Next time just say, "It helps me sleep through the night."

    For a non-native English speaker you've picked it up quite well.

    No problem and thank you. :))

    I did Herbal Magic a few years ago and it worked great for me but when I was off work I couldn't afford it anymore so I just continued to follow the diet part of it. I discovered I continued to lose weight without the pills and shakes because the diet effectively amounted to a low cal diet. The key is tracking what you eat. I didn't gain the weight back because I stopped taking the pills and shakes, I gained the weight back because I stopped recording my food and measuring and eventually went right back to eating the amount I used to eat, hence the weight gain +++

    I would suggest that you try tracking your food on MFP, it's free!

    no, it's so much more! Slim Fast is just shakes that do nothing for you. Herbalife is shakes that do nothing for you AND an MLM that will try to sucker you into selling their useless products and making a hypothetical BILLION dollars WHILE alienating everyone you care about.

    do you see how much MORE you get then silly ol' Slim Fast that you just pick up at the store??
