Anybody doing the Herbalife diet

Hi there! I'm doing Herbalife too..absolutely love it. I do two shakes, one meal, and two snacks a day. Good luck! :-)

I love the herbalife shakes! I have been using the products for four months and have lost 42 lbs and gone from a size 22 to a 14! I do two shakes a day, one healthy meal and one or two healthy snacks each day! I am a distributor and the healthy snacks are fine......as long as they are healthy.

I've never done Herbalife so I can't address the OP, but here's what I want to say...I did the same thing as you...lost 40 some pounds, went from a 22 to 14 in 4 months...all on my own.

Give YOURSELF some credit and consider saving the money. I bet it had more to do with YOU than it did with the shakes. IMO

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.

Hello! I just started this diet 2 days ago and I'm finding it to be so easy! I am doing 2 shakes a day, 1 meal, and 2 healthy snacks. I can't wait to start seeing results! My favorite shake is made with the dutch chocolate powder, 1 banana, 2 strawberries, and mixed with vanilla almond milk. YUM! I'd love to hear more about those who have tried it and succeeded with the program.

I use Herbalife products and have lost 155lbs and gone from a size 34W to a 14. Send me a request for support.

I have been using Herbalife for 4 months! I really do love the program. I have tried everything in the past and never really lost anything.

bump for later

I also use Herbalife products in addition to a balanced diet rather than following their "weight loss plan" of 2 shakes/1 meal per day. Their supplements (cell activator, multivitamin) are excellent and I have found that their protein powders for shakes are great to throw in the blender with some low-fat greek yogurt, ice, and frozen berries for a quick and filling breakfast!

I have been on Herbalife products for 5 weeks, I have lost 19 lbs so far. I can say that, not ONE day I have felt hungry because I have never looked at it as a DIET, I still eat every foods I like I just balance it out and I count my calories intake. If I want to eat a "bad" food I only eat it once a week only at lunch and I take a fusion of fiber, aloe and hot tea b4 the meal. I have not seem anyone mention the ALOE or the TEA those two are a BIG part of this "healthy eating thing" since no matter how many times you have a bowl movement a day if you are regular you always leave something behind, and with this two products together in the am and pm helps you clean you digestive system. I do take two shakes and one meal as of right now because my goal is to loose 50 lbs more. I also eat healthy snacks, veggies, fruit, low fat cheese or protein (turkey or something like that) when ever I get too hungry. Now, the thing is the first week I needed to eat something in between after the second week I really can't because i am not very hungry. Your appetite starts to shrink ( I have never been a big eater, I just used to eat late and I tent to retain a lot of fluids). I just started doing Zumba this week, but for the first 4 weeks I didn't do any work-out. Now that I am doing Zumba I do need to eat a little more bc I burn about 1000 calories in an hour. I am sharing my story because, I am a mother of two, that has been fighting with 50-70 extra lbs for 12 yrs and NOTHING has worked. I realized that, if I am not willing to respect the way I feed my body and choose the correct food I intake, I am not only going to be obese but unhealthy. It's hard to say no to some foods sometimes, but it is not impossible. I am Hispanic and we eat a lot of unhealthy foods (I love rice) and I still eat it almost every day, but I eat 1/3 of what I used to eat before. I eat a salad before I eat my meal and I eat less of everything else Eat healthy,do a little work out routine at least 3-4 times a week and learn how to trick your body out of the "bad" things you eat sometimes and you will see good lasting results!!!!!!

Yes I do Herbalife but its not a diet!! I love it for my nutrition everyday.

I started doing the Herbalife diet yesterday and already I am noticing a change in my eating habit.I used to eat a TON of food every day, but now I just don't have the urge to constantly search the refrigerator and cabinets. I drink two shakes per day and they fill me up and keep me full and energized until its time for my next meal. I do eat one regular meal (usually dinner) each day. I have the Cafe Latte shakes and they taste great. I am planning to also use the Dutch Chocolate and possibly Vanilla (variety is the spice of life, right?). I hope everyone else is doing great on their journeys as well. I see this thread was posted over a year ago so Im guessing there have been huge improvements since a year ago. The prize is worth the fight, so I hope everyone has kept on fighting!

I just started yesterday, I have found that Herbalife weight loss plan is for people who are truly fed up of their situation and need to make a change.

I was to the point where i just didn't want to eat anymore, I just felt sick of myself. I lost 8 lbs in one weekend just because I didn't eat, I wasn't hungry because of my depression and I just didn't eat! I didn't mind the weight loss, but I almost passed out in the kitchen making dinner for my Husband that Sunday night...

Just at that point I was reintroduced to Herbalife by a friend. It wasn't the first time I heard of it but I brushed it of several times before. This time I said, since I didn't feel like eating this would be a great option for me.

I am finding it so easy, a real grab and go option. Packed with every Nutrient I need and then some more! I chose the Wild Berry formula 1 with a Vanilla Protein Shake Mix. The taste, way better than I expected of health shake. Really good! With just one meal a day, I can do this.

Its doable! and you really have to want it, if you don't feel like going for two shakes one day, have one, that way you wont gain weight...it will condition your body.

If you decide stop with the shakes, don't go crazy and just eat whatever you feel, then blame the shake for your ballooning. It's reality if you eat unhealthily you WILL gain weight. The idea is to want to lose weight and want your plan to work, and if you want it to work it will work!

I wish you guys all the best...and I will let you know how my first week goes. wish me luck.

Hi can anybody help I signed up tonight I'm going to be doing 2 shakes with the pills and a balanced meal at night.. I've not taken the protein bars.. Can anybody give me some ideas on snacks for during the day m?

Thanks

Hey I'd like to join 'forces' for newbie Herbalife users also!
I started on Monday, having one strawberry shake for breakfast, with a small orange, or I leave it as a snack mid morning. I'm having a shake for lunch with another piece of fruit. Mid afternoon I have a yoghurt or some nuts. Then just have my normal dinner, trying to only have red meat twice a week, pork on my 'cheat' day, other days chicken, fish etc. Not really having anything madly healthy for dinner but not having anything unhealthy either and trying to cut down a bit on porttion size. I never eat bread anyway and always have used brown rice and pasta. It's my cravings for chocolate and crisps I have to keep a lid on.
I have fruit and nuts at home to snack on if I feel hungry. But so far haven't really thankfully! I am alternating between skimmed milk and light soya milk. Tried it with light vanilla flavour soya milk and was yummy in not a little too sweet.
I have the peach tea as well sometimes after or in between shakes and dinner. I also drink green tea and have been trying to drink lots of water.
Apparantly having too much fruit snacks isn't so good because of the sugar content, so I'm going to try to remember boiling eggs and having them to snack on.

I weighed myself at the start of the week and I'm 11 stone (I wanted to cry, heaviest Ive been a long time), actually thought I was a bit less so it's given me more motivation! I've been eating like a horse all winter and have done pretty much NO exercise. I also blame moving in with my boyfriend and matching his portion sizes with my own. Usually I run, swim, hike and do yoga and/or pilates. SO out of shape! I am busing out of my clothes and favourite jeans no longer fit me. Finding myself wearing leggings too much! I'm heading to the states for 3 weeks in September, have a friends wedding in August and basically want to be down to a slim, tones comfortable size 8/10. I'm 5ft 6.5ins. So goal weight is about 9 and a half stone.
I also have a groupon offer of 30 days unlimited boxercise classes and have signed up for a 10k in three weeks, so my exercise levels will increase. Plan to go for hikes and swimming in the spring and summer also, and if I can fit it in, go back to yoga.
My only concern is that with the running and boxercise I am building muscle, which weights more than fat so I'm worried the scales won't reflect my herbalife efforts! But we'll see. I might measure myself this weekend and take note of that as well.

I think instead of having one whole cheat day I might have two 'semi' cheat days at the weekend. Like Saturday have a healthy cooked breakfast of eggs and lean bacon, shake for lunch and my usual takeaway saturday evening. Again being mindul of portion size. Sunday I'll have a shake for breakfast and lunch and a typical sunday dinner with a choccy treat for after.

What I like about it so far if how simple an easy it is, you dont have to think about what healthy food to buy for breakfast and lunch for the week. And I hardly have time for breakfast or lunch so I just shake and go! Also I can still have my regular dinner with my boyfriend and not have to cook up a salad every time for myself and something else for him.

I started herbalife after seeing my cousin loose about 3 stone on it. She looks amazing! And she didn't do much exercise. She was just over 13 stone. She is still on it though cos she likes the energy it gives her and how it helps her skin, hair and nails. She has reached a plateau now and only wants to loose a few more lbs but has increased her exercise. Her friend did Herbalife too and lost 5 stone over about 6 months.

One concern of mine is that because I haven't much to loose and I am still within (although just about) the 'normal' BMI, the weight loss won't be as quick or effective as I hope.

Anyway any more hints/tips or anyone else who started or has experience of herbalife would be great to hear from you.
Good luck to those who started it :-)

Hi there, I started like three weeks ago and lost 9 pounds so far. I was wondering what flavor shakes you think is the best? I have vanilla right now and think it does not taste good!! Also, what are you all eating for dinners?

Thanks

I'm not on the herbalife DIET, but I do drink their shakes, tea and aloe shots. Only a few times a week as it is expensive and only right after my workout. It's a protein shake and I'm trying to gain some muscle since I lost a lot losing weight. If I do have the shake, I have 2 meals and a snack.
