Shakeology vs Herbalife....Ready, Set, Go!

They are both a waste of money. They provide no use if you eat from natural protein sources. Why not make your own protein shake if you want a shake? I don't see the point of paying so much for something that you can eat naturally. Are you going to continue to pay for them for years? I would put that money into buying the right foods and educate yourself on how to lose naturally with a calorie deficit. It's easier than you think and you don't have to drink your meals.

Neither... Both are for people who are too lazy to learn about nutrition... :x

Neither. Dont waste your money. Just eat healthy

buy some whey

What I find most interesting about these threads, and there are many of them, is that people get really judgmental about what they consider a "waste" of money.

There's nothing particularly wrong with these products. They're just a convenience. My value for convenience doesn't happen to be high enough for this type of product to justify their use, but the vitriol that gets splattered about the boards is interesting.

"too lazy to learn about nutrition" as someone else said. Ooorrr...someone has the resources to pay for a convenience.

"Setting money on fire." As far as I'm concerned, drinking alcohol is setting money on fire. I still do it b/c I enjoy the entertainment.

Bottom line: You can do just as well by putting in the effort to cook your own food. If you don't want to do that, then knock yourself out. If you have the resources to spend, there's nothing particularly wrong with it.

I use Sun Warrior Protein powder. But I don't rely on shakes for tons of my meals, maybe once or twice a week, after a hard workout especially. Also, Green Vibrance is a great add in!

Could not have said it better!

that was a refreshing dose of logic. But when it comes to the "cleanses" or "detox" products. That logic is out the window, snake oil !!!

Just to echo the sentiment of the above posters, I agree that they are expensive and real food is better. However, sometimes it is nice to have a shake on the go and, yes, they will help you control your calories. What everyone is really trying to say is these shakes will not help you develop healthy eating habits. I did lose 15 lbs on Herbalife and it is one of the few shakes that did not bother my stomach. I actually really liked them and would still use them on occasion (not twice a day) if I could afford it. It had a better nutrient content than just about anything else I'm willing to eat on the go. That said, I gained the weight right back when I stopped drinking them and they aren't sustainable. I've heard Shakeology is more natural but I can't really vouch for it. I know that I did get results with Herbalife. It was simple calorie restriction but it did the trick.
