Anyone using Herbalife?

I'm wondering why so many people who are not using it replied. Also wonder if you guys think that being rude or smart *kitten*-y is supposed to make her change her mind.

Yes it's true that Herbalife can be expensive and that all the plan does is put you at a deficit. But who said she doesn't have the money? Maybe she's wealthy. Maybe she just doesn't care about the cost.

Also, many people who have lost weight the old fashioned way gain it back as well. Food addiction is real and it's hard to keep weight off no matter how you lose it. We're all fighting the same battle. Let's show a little respect.

Herbalife is a drink. It does not need respect.

So how long have you been selling it? Because this argument you're putting forth is old and tired around here.

I didn't say respect the drink, I mean respect the human being that asked about it.

I don't sell Herbalife, I have a real job. Thanks.

No disrespect was shown to her. Only the product. So why are you defending it?

Also you'll notice the OP never once replied to anything. And the second post was from a salesperson. It's a common tactic around here. They use one account to ask the question, the second account to make the sales pitch.

I mean don't you think it's strange that she asked about it and never responded to a single post? You'll see that this happens in nearly all magic shake threads. It's a sales pitch, that's all.

I wasn't aware of this tactic, but that makes sense. I try to take everyone at their word unless it's completely ridiculous. Still, wouldn't completely ignoring it be a better use of all of our time? Just my opinion.

Ignore it? So another person not as informed can read it and think it's the magic bullet to help them lose weight?

I would say people are using their time very well here by making others aware. You may not like the delivery, but that's your issue I guess.

This. If I see a blatantly snake-oil, erroneous or otherwise foolish idea being tossed around on the forums here, you betcha I'm going to be as loud-mouthed and discouraging of it as possible. Because despite my generally crusty personality, I really do want to see people succeed with their goals and not just spin their wheels as they trial-and-error a million different miracle cures, like I did.

I am 24 years old and trying to lose weight. I was very active in high school and very athletic. Since then I have let myself go quite a bit. My goal is to lose 85 pounds and I have already lost 14. I have been using Herbalife shakes to supplement my diet and exercise. Anyone else using Herbalife?

Oh man, people are going crazy on this topic! lol

I use it. I don't think its a miracle shake, but it helps me stay within my calorie goal for the day. It is expensive for some people, but it has saved me money. I was spending $6-$11 every day for lunch. I am lazy when it comes to going grocery shopping and making my meals the night before. Something I will have to start working on soon because I don't want to drink the shakes forever. Just easier when you are on the go. (for me at least).... So I am a fan!

No sorry, no one has gone crazy on this thread...other than the people trying to sell it.

I just looked at your diary... Do you like the Boathouse Farms and Odwalla Protein shakes? are they expensive? I like the herbalife for now cuz its easy (and my friend is a distributor and a personal coach so i like that) but i dont want to buy it forever so i want to look at other options that i can just get myself at the store.

Wow. That was a leap, wasn't it. I drink Optimum Nutrition and I plan on buying it forever..but I don't use it for weight loss, I use it to help me meet my protein macro.

And Boathouse Farms and Odwalla don't have people joining their company as independent sales reps and annoying the hell out of people left and right on every kind of forum..nor do they tout it as a weight loss product that I recall.

If you just like the taste of herbalife, that's fine. But to say you need it or should use it because it'll help you lose weight is wrong.

A calorie deficit is what it takes, period. A shake isn't magic and that's how they try to put it off. BIG DIFFERENCE then someone buying Odwalla juices because they like the taste of it.

This...exactly this...

That was a HUGE leap you tried to make. These companies aren't selling their products disguised as "this will help with weight loss". They don't train sales people to lie to you. I use them to help with my protein macros because I'm a vegetarian and I lift heavy. I usually get my protein thru food, but seeing as I've been in and out of town with work, this was the easiest way.

These companies don't say their product is for weight loss, they don't claim it cures people of things. Big difference there. HUGE difference. Herbalife is a sham, the company lies, the creator killed himself because of being investigated for fraud. Bolthouse Farms and Odwalla don't do that, they don't try to prey on people. They offer really yummy products that are just what they are.




Does Odwalla give you a stupid sales pitch as you pass the cart by their section? Does it promise you outrageous calorie burns just by drinking their product?? (Herbalife tea)

Nope...they don't do that...but


Yes, they're totally a snake oil MLM, recruiting innocent folks into being "coaches" and distributors, even though they know nothing about the product they're being forced to sell, and not even at a profit. Yeah, you go Odwalla.


Oh wait...they don't do that either.
