Your thoughts on Herbalife

Oh man! Another one of these posts? I'm in.

Personally, I tend to think anything sold through multi-level marketing is a scam. (Or, at best, no better for you than cheaper alternatives.) I'd bet your gym instructor either sells them or is related to somebody who does.

Just like every other diet out there, it's a business. If they worked, they would be out of business because there would be no more fat people. Things like Herbalife, and slim fast are designed not to work, sure, you'll drop 10 pounds pretty quick and think they're awesome, then you'll stop, and the weight will come back and just like that you're back buying more of the magic. That's why it's called a roller coaster.

I do herbalife and I love it but I don't like meal replacement or changing my whole diet for shakes so Ive added herbalife into my life as I realised the amazing health benefits of it and the amazing results it has so at the moment I do the shakes , vitamins , fibre pills and protein bars for exercise and mix the formula 1 vanilla shake in with some yoghurt or have it as a kind of milkshake or mix it with pineapple juice to make a tasty drink

And so far in one months I have better skin , more energy and have lost over 7 kg

As I Distrabutor i really don't like seeing people say its meal replacement and don't work long term as I believe herbalife is more a lifestyle aid and very effective and can be used basically how ever you want as well as the normal exercise which it helps as well

This 100%

I have yet to see a success story thread where the OP credits their lasting weight loss to a shake.

exactly!!

I've been an Herbalifer for over 11 years. I've watched people come and go. The people who want a magic weight loss plan, this isn't for you. I've watched the products change into INCREDIBLE products that WORK if you WORK it! With the nutrition I get from Herbalife, I was able to have a healthy 2nd pregnancy when I did all the wrong things with the 1st pregnancy. It's safe for EVERY body. I was able to breastfeed the 2nd time around because my body was healthy enough to do it. My baby went right from breastmilk to shakes and she is healthy and normal and is now 5! If you think just drinking a shake with change your whole life, think again. Herbalife teaches you how to believe in yourself. Herbalife combines a healthy active lifestyle with better food choices, along with giving the body 100% nutrition. I'm a believer. I'll never go a day without it. Just my opinion.

Yup!

No. It's completely unnecessary. Workout, eat right...that's all you need.

Rather spend my money on whey protein.

it doesnt really matter how you get to the calorie deficit as long as you get it, you'll lose. shakes, pizza, salads. etc. so i dont think herbalife would be the "reason" that anyone has lost weight. its because of the calorie deficit you are attaining.

It is amazing how many negative things are said about Herbalife on here. Personally I love it. It is not a quick fix to the mounds of fat some people carry, but it works at a relatively fast way to boost your nutrition.Yeah you can do two shakes a day and start seeing results eventually, just like eating properly OCD portioned foods. I would be that person when I was actually striving to loose weight. Measuring everything to the last gram or fluid oz. Herbalife broke me of that, because due to me not getting adequate nutrition and actually seeing the results in weight loss over an 8 month time with family members I gave it a try and went off it because yeah shakes everyday gets boring. I let myself get so out of hand that i was waking up with SEVERE heart burn from acid reflux which was causing chest pain. I went back on herbalife doing 2 shakes (two scoops of formula 1 meal replacement and 2 scoops protien in 8oz of water) I also add the herbal aloe concentrate to it to soothe my acid reflux. The tea is delicious and a lot of people that do herbalife swear by the tea.

How I believe herbalife works is that since it is high in vitamins it balances the body nutrient wise, you're getting enough or alomst enough, so you feel good. When you feel good you feel energized so you spend a little bit more time being active. Activity is key. you cant loose weight just eating right for long and you cant loose weight for long by just exercise. fast food always made me lethargic and of course I wont work out if i feel bloated and nasty I'll sleep. Yes herbalife is expensive, yes there are a lot of haters. Theres no right or wrong way to really go about your nutrition. One may say plant based only, some day protien only. I'm a firm believer in nutrient rich foods. I do eat mostly plant based along with herbalife which is plant based. it works for me. I was 45 pounds down in 6 months before re-opening my MFP consistency is key like everything else. I take several supplements that contain mostly plants that are to be belived help do things (vitamin A for lung health) YOU DO NOT HAVE TO DO HERBALIFE. My opinion is that its cheaper to eat whole foods that are properly portioned with a bunch of supplements on the side, but herbalife is just convienient since I am always on the go and I don't really feel hungry between shakes that I can manage. but thats just me.
