Cost of Herbalife?

Don't do it.. there is no such thing as "Jump starting" your weight loss.. just start exercising, eating in a deficit, and tracking your food intake.. Read up on TDEE and BMR (Use the search feature).. Why buy something that won't help you at all.

Please don't support companies that prey financially on participants via multi-level marketing schemes. Even if somehow Herbalife magically did work, it is not a very ethical use of your money.

There is no right or wrong way to diet... Different methods work for different people. I'm sure she's not an idiot and has done her research on it, so try being supportive instead of acting like it's your way or the high way!

She was clearly asking about cost of the product, I don't see her asking for your opinion on her decision.

@original poster, I'm sorry love, unfortunately everywhere you go you will find that some people are just waiting to knock you down before you've even begun. Herbalife has been deemed a safe an effective way for weight loss - regardless of some peoples ignorant opinions xx

I could not have said it better :drinker: :flowerforyou:

if you've ever been on a car forum, you'll see the same style of question.

"hey guyz, how much does a Mustang GT500 cost?"

"hey man, you can get almost the same power from a regular V8 Mustang, without all the extra expenses. and if you want more power and all that flair, you can buy it and add it yourself at a fraction of the cost!"


so if you want to do Herbalife, knock yourself out. but for a lot less you could probably buy generic weightloss supplements and save yourself some cash.

I don't see anyone trying to knock her down, I see people offering advice on how to lose weight and reach her goal without wasting money on a product. OP said she had lost weight in the past without using the product, so it's not like she is incapable of losing weight without it. And any eating plan which you cannot sustain long term actually is the wrong way to diet. You may lose weight when doing it, but if you gain the weight back when you stop and return to eating real food instead of shakes and bars, it's really not a successful method. I don't know about you, but I'm looking to lose this weight and keep it off.

OP, if you open your diary and provide more information, people might be able to help you figure out why you're having trouble losing the weight.

Advice which she has not asked for. It's clear from her saying "I know Herbalife is a hot debated topic etc" that she can already preempt people knocking her down. It's sad state of affairs when you have the write things like that in your original post to begin with. The poor girl has probably heard it a million times before what other peoples opinion is on Herbalife. I really do feel for her as this was me when I did the same diet!

Everyone was so busy giving me advice from horror stories they had heard from people who did not follow the plan correctly, that they completely missed the original point of the post! If this lady wanted you to tell her to reconsider her chosen method then I'm sure she would have asked for it.

It saddens me that rather than answer her question, most people just knock her down. As it goes I found Herbalife very successful, I personally can't do it anymore due to pregnancy. some people may get sick of the shakes, other people don't. There are four types of palettes out there you know! Personally it was ideal for me as it took all the thought of food away from me. I didn't have any choices to make, they were made for me. As soon as choice came into it I would make bad ones. I'm an all or nothing type of person. I was able to make them more filling by blending them with crushed ice and sometimes adding berries. Also you need to double your water in take when you stop eating solids as most water comes from our food. People who didn't do this tend to feel sick and get headaches as a result of dehydration..... Another "horror story" I have heard. I have kept the weight off for 2 years by following the plan correctly when reintroducing food and not going back to my old eating habits. Like I said it's not for everyone, but I know a lot of people who came off plan and just went straight back to their old ways.... Even if it did start off with just a little treat here & there. They're quick to blame the diet rather than their own lack of self control.

I do agree that there are cheaper alternatives out there to Herbalife though, but I'd recommend checking the nutritional profile of them first, and also whether they are actually a meal replacement or a supplement. Ideally you want something with at the very least 33% RDA of all vitamins & minerals if you plan on having two shakes a day.... And then making your evening meal nutrient rich as well.

I hope you succeed love xx

AGREED! I actually know few people who got sick off of herbal life.....basically any diet where you replace meals with a drink is bogus....just eat healthy and workout....if you feel like that is not working then you need to look at your diet and see where you can take stuff out or add stuff in to help you get a caloric deficit. Save your money. Go to the grocery store and buy all whole foods nothing packaged! find some good recipes and make a recipe book. make meals ahead of time to save you time....and work out 3-4 times a week and stick to it! sticking to it is the hardest and most important part. good luck!

Herbal Life? or Herbalife? :grumble:

OP, I looked at your diary, and you're not logging your food. I think your food intake might be the issue here. I know you are saying you aren't doing anything different, but if you are not keeping track of the data, how can you be sure? Try logging and keeping a calorie deficit (and please up that number from 1200, that is ridiculously low especially for a mom with three kids) before spending your money.

At £18 for 15 days worth of breakfasts & lunches I'm pretty sure she is saving money?
