I absolutely love them. I am addicted to the Reeses shake. I also love a lot of there supplements. But that's just me, I've lost 22 pounds now and have about 10 more to go :-)

I don't understand the negativity towards Herbalife being expensive or a 'pyramid scheme'... some writers wrote $200/month and that for two shakes a day, (or two meals a day). $200 divided by 60 (two meals a day for a month) = $3.33/meal, which I'm sure that includes vitamins and enhancers as well. And you don't have to limit yourself to shakes, you could use the powder to make pancakes, pie, cookies, etc. I guarantee everyone that has complained about Herblaife being "expensive" spends more than $3 per meal, and doesn't get half the nutrients and vitamins. As for 'pyramid scheme,' one could say a 'normal' 9-5 job is a pyramid. All the employees at the bottom, the supervisors one step higher, managers above that, district managers above that, directors above them, all the way up to the one single owner. Hmm, that sure sounds like a pyramid to me. The only difference between MLM and your 9-5 is that MLM pays on hard work and actually earning pay versus getting a guaranteed $10/hour. So one could easily say that every company is a pyramid. Herbalife is publicly traded on the NYSE and is over 30 years old.

As for the products, the products work and the results are real, you just have to stick with your program.
Gosh, all these negative Nancy's on here. Smile folks, it's the only thing that's FREE.

Agreed

If you are against Herbalife that's fine but enough putting down people who do like it. Worry about your own diet! I was skeptical about Herbalife too until a couple friends recently lost 38 and 19 lbs so I gave it a try. This is the first protein shake that has actually kept me full for several hours. I have one in the morning , for lunch I have a regular meal and while at work I drink the protein beverage mix with a protein bar and when I get home I make my other shake. I am a retail supervisor and most nights don't get to have a lunch break so this helps. I'm meeting my protein requirements everyday where before it was a struggle. As for it being expensive: I'm buying less groceries since I'm only eating one meal a day so it all evens out.

If you don't like Herbalife don't use it but stop putting down what might be working for others.

I have been doing Herbalife for almost 2 months now. I started on January 15th 2014 and I'm in LOVE with it!! I started with 200lbs, I'm currently at 183lbs meaning I've lost 17lbs in total. Before i started Herbalife i didn't have any energy at all, i was lazy all the time, lost of headaches, stress, it was just HORRIBLE. After using Herbalife, all that has changed. I'm super active, do different workouts through out the week like Zumba, Workouts at parks & bootcamps as well, no more stress, I'm the most energetic person EVER! My goal is 130lbs, i know ill be there before the lovely summer gets here.

Wanna know something cool?

I did the same thing just with real foods & hard work.

Enjoy feeding your bank account to the mouths of the rich who could care less about their customers.

Your comment was really mean and discouraging, what happened to encouraging people on and keeping each other on track instead of being rude and disrespectful. Not everything works everyone. We are all here because were all trying to lose weight.

Here here! these people I swear do a search for Herbalife just so they can go trolling.

I have been doing Herbalife for about a week and found a difference in my energy level and overall inside feeling.

I have done WW - eating "real" food as other people and have been successful; however, I have also been unsuccessful because some of the "real" food gets me in trouble.

With Herbalife, I find it's structured to tell me what to eat, when to eat and ensuring that I get the right amounts of protein, sugar and carbs. I still eat real food when I'm not having a shake.

All the talk about the cost of the program makes me wonder ... You pay for the food you eat, regardless of where it comes from. I found that making the shakes with milk makes me intake more calcium, which a woman needs for strong bones - something that I used to hardly drink, other than the coffee I had in the morning. Speaking of coffee - I hardly drink it anymore. I used to have it for a JOLT of energy in the morning, but now I don't feel the NEED to have it for that reason. Now it's the sole reason for the flavor enjoyment.

With any changes, you have to make it a lifestyle change. Calling it a "DIET" makes it so restrictive and when you fall off the DIET, you feel like you've failed.

Herbalife does what people says it does.

No it doesn't

Yes I agree you can eat healthy and get the same results. However, there are so many vitamins that you don't get in what you eat combined all day.

No there aren't

It actually costs more at a grocery store for all the vegetables and fruits you would need to equal what you get out of Herbalife.

No it wouldn't

The first week I noticed my focus and energy were way better than they have been. Its just a life style choice...any diet you do you have to diet and exercise...

No you don't

I personally love how I feel on Herbalife! And people saying it is a pyramid scheme obviously don't know what one is. That doesn't mean its a bogus diet that's all about money and who's selling under who. Hense pyramid.

It's a pyramid scheme. People are promised they can make a salary by selling overpriced goods, that are actually all about recruiting more and more people under you

If it works it works end of story.

In the long term, it doesn't.

You're killin' me, Iron! :laugh:

I just throw a carnation instant breakfast in with my shake or a scoop of any protein powder if I am low for the day.

Hi

as personal trainer and dietician i wouldnt recommend herbalife diet at all, and in all fairness not shakes diet at all. our bodies didnt been designed for this type of food (shakes)

meaning : you need food, real food and keep calories in right number, you can support your calories with shake or two a day, but as supplement and not main meal.

also breakfast is most important meal of your day, so bite the bullet and eat in morning and gradually lower portion during day till you get to small dinner meal.

as for herbalife and all crap companies who claim miracles, its bul**** to hit market with overweight people, who are desperate to loose weight and will pay lot money for crap like herbalife. example, professional bodybuilder need really good supplements, so why they dont use herbalife if is so good ? because is not good at all.

ou and if they give you shakes to try? dont forget this people get paid for every product what they selling, and pretty much every seller is brain washed by crap from herbalife how amazing it is, but true is other way round, herbalife is not welcome in any kind of sports, and that should ring bell to anyone why nobody want their product if they compete.

Key idea in this post- she sells this and is pushing you to try this. You can buy the product and it might work. One day you probably will get sick of it and blow all the good work in an orgy of binge eating. Time and time again in the success stories I read about people who had to teach themselves to eat healthy, started clean eating, and basically treated themselves as the valuable human beings that they truly are. We all want a quick fix, or a "jump start", but the truth of the matter is that we live in the real world, with temptation at every corner. Build up your inner strength and don't use these "meal replacements" as a crutch. I think the results will last much longer that way, perhaps for the rest of your life.

The ideal way to lose fat & keep it off is through healthy eating and exercise. That's a no brainer. But, I've found that some people just won't/can't seem to do that. It's a sad fact of modern life that we can't.
Having been a sceptic, I finally checked out Herbalife and found it ticked all the boxes because of the people I'd met in the gym who lost fat on it. I'd say it works out only for people who won't cook or have time to create healthy breakfasts & lunches.

It does exactly what it states on the tin and gives them the nutrients and protein ratio they need to help lose fat - alongside a healthy exercise programme - while eating nutritious real food too - they will see a permanent weight loss.

In an ideal world we wouldn't be taking ANY supplements, protein powders, vitamins or weight gain/loss products but sadly this isn't an ideal world. Herbalife is simply another manufactured solution to a real problem many of us have. (It should ALL come from whole foods)

So, yes it works for weight loss. (Not for everyone, but neither does any supplement work for all.)

It isn't as expensive as you think! Just over £3.00 a day for breakfast, lunch per month. (Add up what you'd spend on junk for a month for breakfast, lunch and see!)

Yes you will put the weight back on - Unless you move onto a balanced diet & fitness regime for life. (You HAVE to accept you'll have to do this)

I've been a personal trainer for 15 years, don't sell Herbalife personally but can tell you I've seen it work numerous times.

Hope that helps. :-)

AVOID HERBALIFE!!!!! :mad: :explode: :huh: :devil: :sick:

Aside from their MLM scheme & shady business practices, their products have been proven to be dangerous.
Read the 2 articles under "journal articles" here, about liver damage (hepatotoxicity),
as well as the article under "recent information" about lead levels.

Save your money, spend about half of what you'd waste on their crap on real foods instead.

I used to sell herbalife years ago. I was on the quick start program formula 1, 2 & 3. It did help me lose about 25 lbs in about 3 months, without changing too much of my eating habits, but when I went off it I gained twice as much back. That was 20 years ago. Now I'm in my 50's and I'm losing weight faster just watching my calories and carbs. (I've lost 37 lbs in 3 months). I've thought about going on the shakes again, for breakfast. the chocolate was really good and it filled you up and you stayed full a long time. Hope this helps. If you go on herbalife make sure to change eating habits too so when you go off of herbalife you'll still be eating healthy and won't gain your weight back. Good luck

Hi there, I've been doing herbalife for 3 weeks. To be honest I haven't had any probs infact I'm loosing body fat as we go on a special computerise scales so it measures everything and tells you what your loosing ect. I have got got results so far and I am in-control of my eating for once! I believe that not one thing works well for everyone and it can be expensive if your using more than just the shakes. I am feeling so much better and and looking a lot better. What ever programme or diet you do it needs to be something you can go forever and stick to because if you over eat you will gain weight after any diet. My only thing is that I'm very fussy and don't like many of the flavours but I don't like normal choc milkshakes and strawberry milkshakes anyway but I love mint choc and vanilla with coconut milk. You do eat real meals and snacks I drink or eat 5-6 times a day every 21/2 hours I have a physical job.
I've only been doing it 3 weeks do in still new to this. I love herbalife it's working for me ????
Good luck to everyone on your weight loss journeys. We are all different and do what works for you
All the best

i will worn you to stay away from pricey quick fix anything. all of those sells scams are the same, plexus, shakeology, and nameless others. i keep a jug of muscle milk protein shake in my kitchen for just when i don't have much time or i don't really want to eat but need the calories. i always have spinach, and other veggies and fruits to juice and add into a shake. chia seed adds fiber to help me . i get it a sams club for 14 dollars for 2 lbs. the cheapest i can find. belvita or 2go bars have helped with breakfast can get at any grocery store. the thing i learned when i became a mother is to always, i will repeat, always have snacks on hand. when i go any where the minute we get down the road my daughter is starving. so instead of stopping at the big Mc or the like i began bringing snacks. we all feel better by having the choices of a healthier snack that fills you up and does not suck your energy or blow your calories for the day. if you want to try the shakes then do it. i however don't know the cost but it is cheap for me to eat healthier and to make my own out of what i have in the kitchen.
