herbalife

Maybe not in this one in particular but in plenty of other posts.

So you're pre-accusing us of attacking others. This brings the shakebot threads to a whole new level lol

I'm just saying that in general people could be nicer when it comes to answering these types of questions. Do you not agree with that statement?

No, I don't agree with it. I prefer the direct approach without the bull****. Stop worrying about feelings. Stop telling people what they want to hear. Tell them straight up what the truth is.

Full Disclosure: I'm a Beachbody Coach so I obviously haven't tried Herbalife. I'm just amazed at all the hateful comments all over the message boards. If someone wants to use Herbalife, Shakeology, Slim Fast, T25, Jillian Michaels, whatever the heck it may be why do people feel the need to put that person or any other person down. If you wanna argue that they're all worthless then go for it but can't you at least do it politely and maybe throw in some actual advice then? She asked for advice, not a bunch of nasty comments.

I honestly don't care if people think they're horrible products but it just bothers me to see so much hate in a place that's supposed to be supportive. People come here to ask questions and they don't need you telling them they're stupid. Think before you post. No one likes a bully.

I love how offended the sales people get.

If I said I hated asparagus would anyone think I was being a bully? If I don't like brussel sprouts am I hurting someone's feelings?

No. You just take it personally because you and the other sales people are attempting to use members here to supplement your income. It's deceitful, underhanded, and against the policy of MFP.

I will continue to advise anyone who'll listen that they don't need your magic meal replacement shakes to lose weight. They're overpriced and not part of a sustainable weightloss plan. Hell isn't Herbalife under investigation right now?

I'm trying to help people. You're trying to sell them something.

Thanks! You're always a point of sanity n reason here.

Could you please be careful about throwing around the word "bully"? I know it's the trendy thing to do but I have a nephew who is being bullied to the point where my sister and brother-in-law will probably pull him out of his school and put him in a private school. He's also receiving counseling for the hurt that the bullies have caused him and corrective action is being taken against the bullies.

I don't see anything here that is 1/1,000,000th of that.

Its OK, I don't think anyone thinks for one second that these people are being bullied in the true sense of the word, they are just butthurt because we aint buying what they are selling.

I believe in being honest and straightforward. I think that people get very defensive, and it's because they are seeing their MLM pyramid scam get publically debunked

We all have differing opinions. To each their own. I would never slam anyone for doing what works for them. I'm currently following the herbalife plan because it works. I needed to get going by eating breakfast, which I'm not big on so the shake is perfect. I eat healthy snacks throughout the day, such as almonds, a hard boiled egg, fruit or veges, sometimes a small wrap with turkey breast. I'm on the C meal plan so I have alot of calories to fill in a day because I have alot of weight to loose. I have my 2nd shake for lunch and then eat a heathy dinner. I work 2nd shift so I eat alot of my "snacks" at work to keep me going. If someone wants to slam me for finding a way to eat healthy by using shakes, vs only eating maybe 1 1/2 meals a day which is what I was doing before, so be it. I don't care. I was big on ordering out at work, so even spending the money for the shakes I'm still saving. I truly believe this all is helping me learn to eat healthy and once I lose the weight I'll need to keep eating healthy. I'll probably still do 1 shake in the morning. If you google herbalife shake recipes there's a ton of ones out there to make it interesting. So, let's keep in touch via messages or whatever to support each other! Best of luck!

Never touch bull****e pretend food and you'll be ok.

Additional shakes my butt. Get real!!!!!!!!!!!! What a load of .. why eat powdered crap? Eat food. Eat less calories then you burn it's simple.

Amen and a bump to that!!!:drinker: TGIF!!

Relevant to those considering this brand. Last week, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) announced an investigation into Herbalife as a pyramid scheme.
