I've been doing it for almost two weeks. I do the two shakes a day and I add protein powder to them. I also do the vitamin, cell activator, and the cellulose (2x a day). I've lost some weight already and I don't feel like I'm missing out on anything. I am just sure to plan out my one meal a day. I snack maybe once or a twice a day but usually just once and I make sure I count it out whatever it is. I'm happy with it so far. I have been exercising normally, but I plan on re-starting the 30day shred for amplify my result. I had great results just doing the shred in the past.

Hi all I have just started herbal life and would love some
Snack ideas

My favourite snack at the moment is roasted Soy Nuts. Herbalife do individual packs that are really nice or you can get other brands in bigger packets. I am using these as I can weigh out the amount that I want rather than always using the pack size and they are also a bit cheaper. Really filling though and great protein levels

Been using Herbalife for a little over a year, have lost 57 pounds but did not use as a diet, bur rather a jump start (2 shakes with the green tea, 2 snacks, 1 meal) for just a few months, and now 1 shake a day with tea as part of my regular healthy eating plan. Snacks are a must!! The tea is a must!! Logging calories helps (do not go below a healthy amount of calories, it won't work!), exercise is a must!!! I have been in maintenance now for 8 months, going on 9. If you are smart in your food choices, eat healthy, this is a great nutritional addition to your healthy life change.

Another snack I am enjoying and having almost every day is my own Tofu Jelly. I take1 sachet of sugar free jelly and dissolve in 1/2 pint of boiling water. Then I pour this into my blender and add 100g of unflavoured Tofu (we get it in 400g watery packs!! so I use a 1/4) and about 5 frozen raspberries & 5 frozen blackberries. Blend this altogether and pour back into jug. Make up to 1 pint with cold water if necessary and this makes 2 nice bowls for hardly any cals and extra protein. See my diary if you want numbers

If you pour it straight into the bowls when it is warm it separates so you end up with a jelly top or bottom with a creamy layer or if you leave it to cool for about 15 mins and give it a whisk it stays all creamy.

Put it into the fridge and it sets like jelly and it tastes like a very fruity blancmange - lovely

I started my weight loss journey July 1st of this year... I first started with the herbalife bootcamp then having a meal replacement shake with protein after my work out once I got my own shakes in immediately the scale started going down by the second! Went from 156 to 148 just like that.... I started getting really serious about my eating and also started working out In the gym hard!!! I do bootcamp and gym rotating 3/4 times a week and as of Friday I started drinking a gallon of water everyday and the herbalife tablets as well as the tea! Now when I step on the scale it reads 150... I'm getting worried am I doing something wrong? I do two shakes a meal for lunch and 2 snacks... Being that I just started the tablets too should I not be so worried? I feel like I've gained... Help!

I have been drinking 1 smoothie a day, then 2 healthy meals and snacks if I'm hungry. I have the aloe shot then 1 or 2 teas a day. I am lucky Herbalife opened a smoothie bar near me and I can choose from like 60 different flavors. They combine ice and water and the protein mix and meal mix and they use ff sf dry pudding to make cheesecake flavors and PB2 for choc peanutbutter flavors. So many combos. I so far have done this 7 days in a row I am down 8 pounds. I exercise everyday. My coach said I need 125 grams of protein a day. If you do 2 shakes a day she said 2 healthy snacks and a healthy dinner. Snacks include greek yogurt, cheese sticks, apple and almonds.You want protein in every meal. Also can add protein powder to your yogurt or oatmeal. I usually do my smoothie at breakfast and I have been feeling better, less hungry, so far I like it. Hope this helps. Also I noticed it's cheaper to buy products on ebay then from a distributor. Sorry but it is. The quick start program is almost $40 cheaper online.

How much are you eating? Herbalife isn't some magic shake. To lose weight, you need to eat 500cals less than you burn. To do that you need to weigh and count what you're eating.

HI Becky,

Just replying to your posting. How are you doing with herbalife, Have you kept loosing weight? I am using it but I have not seen any result. I need support I hope with can talk more often and support each other.

thanks,

Roxy

hi thank you for replying I eat at least 1000 calories and exercise 3 hours p/week. I make sure my meals are healthier such as chicken breath with vegetable 1/2 table spoon of olive oil is so less. No rice at all only salads and from time to time I have sesame seed crackers maybe one or two. I also cook lentils with vegetables and I make sure i have at least 1/2 cup of lentils and 1/4 of the avocado.

When I make the shakes i use water, 2 scoops of powder and 1 scoop of protein for each shake.

For fruits I usually have a 2 or 3 cups of fruits trough out the day and 1 table spoon of protein.

I am not sure what i am doing wrong. thank you for any suggestion or comments

You're not eating enough. 1,000 calories a day is potentially dangerous and means you won't lose any weight whatsoever. The chicken breasts and avocados/lentils are good choices but what are you snacking on throughout the day? You need to have your shakes, regular snacks and then a healthy and filling main meal. I started this two weeks ago. I don't do the shakes at the weekends but I have them (with milk) during the week. I snack on berries, cheese, eggs, ham, fruit. I have a healthy dinner every evening normally consisting of baby potatoes, lots of fish/chicken, salad, vegetables. I drink wine or a couple of vodka and tonics three times a week. I exercise about 4 times a week. I've lost 5lbs in the last fortnight by having roughly 1200-1500 calories a day and keeping carbs to about 120g per day. You're simply not eating enough so you're body is starving itself and clinging on to any fat you have for dear life. Is your diary open? If so, we can advise you better.

roxym5

Thank you, your comments are very helpful. Now, I know I will have to eat more filling snacks and meals. I will try to heat the 1200 calories everyday. My food diary is close but I will open it right now.

I don't think there is anything wrong with it especially if your doctor is on board with it. However, I do think when you reach your goal weight you should track all your food very closely and learn how to maintain you great successful weight loss. I think this is where people often fail no matter the mean of achieving the loss. Even people on MFP regain weight if they don't watch it.

roxym5

hi, no I don't have a coach, I would be interested sure! I am trying to eat bit more this week. will see what happens. I am confuse with the amount of calories i should by taking this product

bfitnfabulous

I have been using the Herbalife products for 2 years now.I know they work when you use them consistently. I have lost pounds and inches and have been able to maintain it with the products, better eating habits, and exercise.

Some of the posts I'm reading talk about the shakes working as long as you are on them, but if you stop you gain weight back. Well, my response to that is "Why would you stop?" The shakes are healthy meals, they have tons of nutrients with less calories, easy to prepare, and cost less than fancy coffee and muffin or fast food. When you reach your targeted weight, continue to drink a shake for breakfast to get all of those benefits I mentioned. If you think of Herbalife as a "diet" that you are on temporarily, than you are wrong. Our products are meant to be incorporated into your daily, healthy lifestyle. When you think of it in that way, you will have success for as long as you choose. Your body will thank you!!

Hi Jen,
I buy the product from my friend here in US MA but she is not really helpful explaining the products well. I exercise at least 3 hours per week and I am always hungry I am not sure why I can loose weight. It seems as if my metabolism is blocked.

Should I count the calories why I am in Herbalife, if so how much calories should I use. I want to lose at least 10 pounds.

I am not sure if my nutrition is the right way to get to my goal. I love the shakes and the protein bars. :-D

hi i am on day 3 struggling a bit because not really clear what i am allowed. i have 2 shakes and a meal and i think i am allowed 2 snacks?? i have to say i am hungry but i have gone from eating like food was gonna dissapear if i didnt eat it.

b0nnyd0g

I don't really get the idea of 2 shakes and a 'healthy meal' with no other tracking. If I could do 'healthy meals' I would not need to be using Herbalife !! I love the product and have 2 shakes but I track, track, track the calories and then I know what I have left for my healthy meal and any snacks. Out of 1200 calories that I allow myself, it is a good meal and a light snack but would certainly go well over sensible calorie allowance if I did not track

If you are struggling, look at some diaries of people using Herbalife (you might need to friend them first) to get some great ideas

Hi guys...
Im on day 1 of herbalife today... ive about 1.5-2stone to lose.
Had vanilla shake this morning and although taste wasnt bad I found the texture was very chalky/powdery. And that was after mixing it really well in my smoothie maker....are all flavours like that?
Also found it filled me up so well that I didn't need one at lunch time. Just had some fruit.
Goin to mk a nice 500calorie meal this evening.
Does it matter if I only have one shake a day???

it depends on what your other meals are, sometimes I just have one a day but those days I usually just have one shake and one meal. It would depend on what your other meals are

A herbalife store opened in my local town and was wondering if you guys suggested it? is it really worth it? it looks to be expensive so i dont wanna be wasting money!!

b0nnyd0g

Its worth it to lots of us who are using Herbalife as part of our calorie tracking plan

Hi, I have just started the herbalife program it will be a 1 wk this Friday. I was told to have a protein snack between Breakfast shake and lunch shake and another between lunch and dinner. I think things are going well but to soon to tell. Keep in touch with me I would love to know how you are doing also.

HELLLLPPP :-(

Iv been on the shakes for 4 days now. Having 1 for breakfast and 1 for lunch. Snacks are fruit in-between shakes, and dinner is a jacket potato with tuna and salad. I don't feel as bloated as before but am not seeing any results on those dam scales! If anything have put on 1lb :-(. I have exercised twice within these 4 days as well. Has anybody else had the same slow start? Or am i doing something wrong? Any help or advice is appreciated....Thanks

seriously 4 days? LOL

Denise11161978

I love Herbalife!! Are any of you working with your weight loss coaches? I joined the business side of Herblife this year because I needed the discount and I offer the discount to most of my clients! Do any of your coaches do anything like that? Anyway I do most of my business online, Facebook and by text and phone. I have lost over 80 lbs on it and now only have 50 left to my goal.

For the person worried after 4 days results vary. What kind of exercise do you do? You should make sure you have fruit and protein or veggie and protein for your snack and a well balanced dinner. I do have sample meal plans if anyone wants one message me. I used the exercise videos for my exercise so you may want to talk to your coach about it.

I haven't done it but my mother in law is - I think she has a banana & a shake for breakfast & then I'm not sure what she has for the rest of the day but she has lost 9kgs (19 lbs). I know she's pretty much given up chocolate & for exercise, no idea. I dare say if you are having 2 shakes a day - you can afford to have healthy snacks.

I like how a lot of the reviews on this thread come from members whose single forum posting is a strikingly positive endorsement for this *product*.
