Anybody doing the Herbalife diet

sunshineamy84

9lbs in 3 weeks is good! I want to loose about 20lbs in total by the end of June.
Ive only tried the strawberry one and it's lovely :-). Apparantly the cookies and cream one is nice. But I'm going to stick with the strawberry one for now.
I haven't tried the prolessa duo. Hoping to loose the weight by just the two shakes, the tea and exercise.
I am just having normal dinners, nothing too fatty though and being mindful of porttion size. I have potatoes veg and meat, spag bol (with wholeweat spaghetti and very lean mince), low fat chicken curry (brown rice), omelette, fish and salad and veg, e.t.c. I like that I can enjoy a normal meal with my boyfriend in the evenings.

I started Herbalife NUTRITION products 2/27/13 - Best decision of my life! Two shakes a day, Aloe and Herbal Tea. By day 3, my acid reflux was GONE and I have been sleeping like a baby since, which is huge for me! I signed up to be a distributor on day 4 LOL!

Herbalife is NOT A DIET, it's Nutrition all the way to the cellular level of your being!

I have been on hypothyroid medication for 17 years. Last week I had blood work done and the same day my Dr. called and LOWERED my medication!!! First time ever and the only thing I've changed is adding Herbalife Nutrition to my life! I heard stories of people getting off their thyroid meds (dream of mine) by adding the Ultimate Prostate supplement, so I added that two weeks ago. I know what you're thinking, I'm a girl and I don't have a prostate, right? Well, they're both glands and I'll gladly pay for an herbal supplement in order to get off chemical meds!

AND I've lost 11.4 lbs and 6" since I started Herbalife Nutrition products. Confession: I really only stick with it during the week and I still lost over 11 lbs, without exercising! I was stuck on a plateau for 4 months, the scale wouldn't budge. I was depressed about it, frustrated about exercising 4-6 times a week and nothing was happening. Herbalife saved my life! My husband has been on Herbalife since 3/11 and has lost 14 lbs and 3" around his belly! Hardest decision is what flavor do I want haha!

If you're on it, stick with it! If you're ready to maintain your weight, one shake a day, but watch your calories! Lots of water!
If you've just started, Congratulations! Two healthy, high protein, low-fat snacks with a fruit or green veggies between shakes and "regular" meal, which should be 1/3 plate lean protein, 1/3 plate salad, 1/3 plate veggies (a.k.a. Colorful Meal). LOTS OF WATER - at least 1/2 your body weight in ounces each day. Protein intake should be about half your body weight in grams each day. Myfitnesspal is an excellent tool for tracking all of this! The person you got your product from should have passed this info to you and should be there to support you so don't hesitate to contact them if you have questions. Be assertive! This is your body and you only get one!

There are also TONS of great Herbalife recipes, like pancakes and pie! Google is your friend

Glad you guys found something that works for you. How many calories in one shake? I'm guessing 200?

I just started Herbalife about 3 days ago..I'm just hoping my sensitive stomach allows me to continue to take it...so far so good. I love the snack defense because that's my biggest problem.

One shake with semi skimmed milk is around 220 calories. I usually use skimmed milk or light unsweetened soya milk to lessen the calories a little and for a change in tase.
I weighed myself last week, two days after starting herbalife and was 11stone. Really depressed me! Thankfully I dont have scales in my house otherwise Id be weighing myself everyday so I will weigh myself in like a month or so to see if there is any difference. I dont really care about what the scales say though, because I am working out a lot, running boxercise etc I know I'll build up muscle. I just want to loose the inches and get fit.
I am still waiting to see the results of herbalife impacting and improving your skin, hair and nails. Though Im happy with those anyway :-). I do like it for energy and I'm not hungry either. If I find myself getting hungry I snack on fruit or yoghurt.
Trying to remember to drink lots of water too, I was bad the last few days in not drinking as much as I should, plus its a pain in the *kitten* to keep running to the loo all the time!
But second week and I'm sticking to it! Also Im pretty sure its actually saving me money for breakfasts and lunches.

I realize this post is kind of old, but since people are still commenting, I figured I would chime in.

I will be starting Herbalife this week, but only to enhance my weight loss, I won't be following them as a "diet plan" of 2 shakes per day. I plan to replace my morning coffee (which consists of un-godly amounts of half and half and real sugar) with their Raspberry Tea and Aloe. I will be doing their shakes and protein powders for breakfast as others described (mixing with fruits and ff milk, etc), with my normal healthy eating for lunch and dinner (real meals, not shakes). I also plan to incorporate some other supplements they offer, so I have purchased Cell U Loss, ThermoBond and Prolessa to incorporate and see how that works out. I am excited to try it!

I just started as well and I'm doing one shake for lunch. I haven't tried the tea yet. I've been drinking lots of water too. I just can't seem to figure out the calories. If you find out, can you please fill me in?? I'd appreciate it. Good luck on your journey!!

Hi I'm starting herbalife and I'm wondering if everybody whose done really stuck to their protein and calorie count? My distributor said I needed 117 grams of protein a day. Between the shakes, two high protein snacks and dinner, I still only around 100 grams and it just doesn't make sense to me to keep eating when I'm on a diet? I've been doing it for a few days now and haven't lost any weight. do i need to hit 117 grams? if not, Would it be bad to skip snacks if I'm not hungry?

Hi I just started Herbalife yesterday. I am doing 2 shakes and a small meal with two snacks in between. My only concern is that I bought the shake mix without a distributor. I had one contact me today and told me to stop taking the shakes until I can afford to buy the products through the distributor, that kinda turned me off...

i used to work in the europe head office in the finance department, took the shakes and herbal supplements while i worked there as they were free to use in the kitchens, i did loose weight and once finished did manage to maintain eating food, only put weight on after having my son (10lbs 5oz) baby but now thanks to mfp have lost that too.

love herbalife not just as diet/nutrition but also as a company to work for (not talking about being a ds)

congrats to all on your herbalife success may it long continue :happy:

Is this a temporary thing or is it something you do for the rest of your life? If not, what happens when you stop? Anybody here kept it off long term doing this? I don't do diets and don't plan on doing it - I'm just curious, since there's so much buzz about it. I like to keep track of all the lastest trends so I know what people are talking about in the threads.

Unfortunately I am one who did the diet, lost lots of weight then put it all back plus some. I like MFP because i''ve been learning to eat the foods I like in portion control. After I lost with herbalife I went back to eating regular food and boom all the weight came back and more. It's great while it's working....

I have just started the diet 3 days a go and feeling very good about it.

gillporteous

I started yesterday and am enjoying it.. finding it really easy to do but still craving some chocolate!!

I am having the vanilla formula 1 with skimmed or light soya milk and some frozen berries in the blender and really enjoying it. i am just having berries and greek yogurt in afternoon and chicken/fish with veg and brown rice for dinner

If anyone has any recipe ideas let me know!

Thanks

I am actually going to see a distributor today to get all I need for the next month.

Would love any advice. My distributor has recommended the drop a dress size in a month programme for me.

Anybody still doing the Herbalife plan feel free to add me

Thanks

To change it up a little add some fat free jello cheesecake pudding or any flavor jello pudding mix as long as fat free. I made an amazing shake today with 1/2tsp cheesecake pudding and 1/2 tsp chocolate fudge pudding(all fat free) with blackberries and vanilla formula 1.....AMAZING!

personally i have read ALOT of bad things about soy and to my understanding herbalife uses SOY protein.

Make your own decisions but id recommend looking into this if you havent already.

I drink one shake for breakfast (about 300 calories) and have two healthy meals and snacks. I stay away from processed foods. I know that if I quit my morning shake, I won't gain weight back. I know how to eat healthy. You have to work out and eat right. Eating McDonalds and donuts - you're gaining your weight back. Short and sweet. I have lost 35 lbs but I don't say it's because of herbalife. It's a healthy diet and exercise!

wonderclam35

I love Herbalife. I have been on it for 4 months and have lost 30 lbs. and 40 inches so far. I love the shakes, and I eat one regular healthy meal a day plus 2 snacks. I eat a total of 5 to 6 times a day, regulating caloric intake. I am also a distributor. I drink tons of water, and exercise almost daily. I totally recommend this. It is not a liquid diet, it is a lifestyle change with essential vitamins and minerals people do not get from daily foods. Very nutritious

wonderclam35

You can add anything you like to your shakes. Even chocolate pudding mix. There is also a chocolate protein drink mix that Herbalife sells. You can add things and make your own recipes, like a dab of hersheys chocolate syrup. Good luck

I found out some interesting facts about why shakes work. When you drink shakes as meal replacements and you start losing the weight it is because of the vitamins and minerals in the diet and it levels out your estrogen and everything else. I did Slimfast years ago when it was Soy and lost to 164 pounds. I gained it back over 2 pregnancies and 3 kids. I then put losts of research into why these kind of diets work and came back with because they are packed with nutrients and when you take those nutrients out your estrogen and everything else rises again and you gain the weight back. Make sure that you are taking a good vitamin that breaks down in your system and you start replacing the shake with proper protein and fruit and vege levels and not a lot of carbs and you will not gain the weight back.

You're right. Some of it had to do with me and not Herbalife. However, over the last ten years I have tried everything, including changing how I eat, what i eat, exercise etc. Nothing worked....Nothing!!!! So yes I am going to attribute part of my success to the Herbalife products. My doctor knows what i am doing and has done the research on the products and has given me a thumbs up to continue. I no longer have to take thyroid replacement meds or metformin. That is a really big deal to me. After two knee surgeries that were both failures and helped not one bit, I am ecstatic that I was able to take the weight off my knees thereby taking away a lot of my knee pain. I was a size six 10.5 years ago....then I had my youngest daughter.....then I did nothing but gain weight despite being active duty in the navy and working out daily and eating right. Over the course of ten years I gained 70 pounds on top of the 40 i gained while pregnant. Finally I feel better about myself and how I look. My husband, who didn't meet me until after i had my daughter has never seen me "thin". He is excited for me and has been so supportive. The old fashioned way works for most people but not all. I am not going to push the products on anyone. If they ask a question i will answer that's all. This is just what has worked for me.

Great job! Everyone is different! Very well said!
