Herbalife issues

SO, a friend of mine has had tremendous results using Herbalife, so she started selling it. Seeing her results I bought a few supplements (total control, cell-u-loss, cell activator & multivitamin) & the tea (that is supposed to burn calories just by drinking it).
Since starting the regimen last Thursday I haven't slept a full night's sleep.
I have played around with taking the total control (as I figure this is the one causing the sleeplessness) at certain times. I took it yesterday with breakfast & then again around 11am & STILL didn't sleep last night.
It's a shame because this stuff wasn't cheap. The total control makes my workouts AWESOME, but it's hardly worth it if I can't sleep. When I don't sleep I dont want to work out the next day & it's so much harder to control cravings when you're so tired (not to mention everyone at work has noticed that I'm having a hard time focusing)
I have googled every product along with "insomnia" "sleeplessness", etc.. but all that comes up is information on Herbalife's sleeping pills (btw, I took 2 melatonin last night & STILL didn't sleep well)

Has anyone else experienced this to such a degree? Could the other supplements be causing this not just the total control or tea? I cannot find one bad review on google about herbalife & my friend/ "dealer" is totally shocked that I'm having these side effects

  • I have heard of a few people having sleep problems with herbalife. not so much not sleeping, but having vivid nightmares or sleepwalking. i would quit taking it all for about a week and add one thing at a time back in to see whats giving you problems.
  • I am having the same issue! I started the full Herbalife program a couple weeks ago, and I have just not been able to sleep! Not even with sleep aids like Melatonin, or even Nyquil. I had at first attributed it to stress, I have a lot going on right now. Then I noticed a couple hours after I took the pills(Total Control, Cell u loss, Cell Activator, Therma-bond, Aminogen, and Snack Defense) I felt that same anxious/jittery feeling that I have at night when I'm trying to sleep! So, experimentally, I did not take my remaining two does, and Viola! Sleep! FINALLY! I'm bummed, because I know people have had amazing results. I'm going to try sticking with one dose a day and see how I do. Glad to hear I'm not the only one who has experienced this!

    I don't understand why one would bother taking this business. Eat at a deficit = lose weight. Take pills = wasting money (and sleeping problems).

    You burn calories from drinking ice water. Just saying.

    Well, yes - and you burn some just by breathing.

    This has what exactly to do with a year old thread about Herbalife???? :indifferent:
