    You should definitely track the rest of your food too for accurate weight loss:

    I actually use herbalife shakes as a means to get extra protein.. to workout... but never use it as a meal replacement... so suggest you to be careful...

    I personalloy use exercise as my main weapon for weight loss... (and while i know this is going to get more then one groans from some of the MFP members and I know this isn't the best way for most people)..... however I don't count everything I eat..

    what I do is stay away from most of the things I know i shouldn't eat like fruit juice, junk food, and etc.... and I just log in the big things... because i know i'm gong to work out the little things......^^ with the daily cardio... walking, riding a bike, and/or stationary bike.

    Are you snacking too? If your exercising you probably will find you need more energy!

    Just ask yourself this: Do the shakes teach you how to EAT a meal correctly? If not, then how are you going to substitute food for the shake when the time comes? And if you can do that, then you probably should just eat that way anyway without the extra expenditure.

    Eat real food, but keep track of the calories. You'll be much happier and much more likely to maintain the weight loss. A major plus is that counting calories is free!

    thank you all for your replies..

    I workout regularly 2 hours daily, but the problem is with my food, i don't know exact calories in it as its Indian food. So i want to go with herbalife shake for few months instead of my regular 2 meals.

    just few months before i used to walk about 8 km daily on my treadmill and lost 5 kgs quick. now is really getting hard.

    Is your Indian food homemade or do you purchase it?

    MFP has an option to create your own meal. You input each ingredient and divide it into servings and it gives you the calorie count. It's tedious to get it in there, but soon you'll have your own little database of your own meals to choose from. Counting calories can always be done.

    Why? Food is actually good for you. It gives you energy so you can workout.
