Herbalife? Anyone try this to aid weight loss?

Maybe we should all just back out.


Maybe we're delaying the inevitable colapse of the pyramid scheme.

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.

I lost 45 pounds on Herbalife and I am still on it. It's an amazing product and it works. It levels you out if you have a carb or sugar addiction which was what I needed.

I will try to scope that out! I am such a sucker for PB & Choc...that just may help to curve cravings! I have had such a hard time trying to get myself to drink soy, and then rice milk and almond milk - even chocolate stuff. Barf. I guess being from Wisconsin I am just stuck on real MILK. lol.

. Milk helps women lose weight. So many of us give up milk when we diet but it just the opposite of what we should do. My nutritionist told me about this. And she was right I can eat the same amount of calories and not lose weight but if I have my glass of milk I lose. She told me to drink 1 1/2 to 2 % milk not skim. It also helps make your waist line slimmer . I drink skim milk for years and she gave me this really long explanation of way I shouldn't. It has made a difference for me.
