A co-worker of mine has been taking Herbalife lately and loves it. Has anyone here ever tried or are doing it? I am looking for a great multivitamin mainly. I am not into weight loss pills or any of that. I want to lose the weight without any enhancers if it all possible. However, reading Herbalife- They have a few vitamin pills I may be interested in. Thoughts anyone??

    Well I took a look at the wikipedia page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herbalife

    An interesting quote:
    "By and large, these studies do not provide convincing evidence that Herbalife products produce more weight loss than other products or than a proper placebo."

    " In independent studies made by the German magazine Konsument (Zeitschrift Ökotest 11/2003), the products of Herbalife were found to be among the most expensive "healthy eating" products."

    There's also a whole section on adverse side effects (including liver problems), and the fact that the company is being sued for being an illegal pyramid scheme.

    If you're looking for a good vitamin, just get a regular multi or something. Sounds like Herbalife is a waste of money.

    If all you are looking for is a good daily mutivitamin, I think you can probably find something cheaper and just as effective in the grocery store. I have been on the Herbalife program (with the shakes, etc.), and I lost a lot of weight, but it did not help me to learn portion control or how to eat real food and lose weight. Personally, I think it is better to eat healthy, real food and exercise to lose weight. As always, YMMV.
