Herbalife

Herbalife is always getting a bad rap. I have been doing it for 3 months and I have to say Kudos to my program. I keep my carb, protein and fat levels in check with the range they're supposed to be, I drink 1/2 my weight in water, exercise 30 minutes (or more) per day and replace meals with shakes and make conscious choices about the food that I do eat. I eat lean protein and fish, vegetables and fruits and try to limit my carb and fat/sugar/sweet intake. Hmm... This isn't a diet for me. It's a lifestyle change. My shakes contain skim milk so I'm getting my calcium, which is a benefit because I wouldn't sit and have a glass of plain milk. I have experimented with various concoctions because yes, the first time you try the shakes they might not taste the greatest without extra flavoring. I mix strawberries and other fruits, PB2, or even chocolate syrup. It's not meant to reduce you to a slave. You have to make a choice to change.

My coach does not force or even encourage me to purchase additional product or sell products. Rather, she checks with me weekly to see how I'm doing - asking if I have questions or concerns and provides me with tips for how I can improve my eating /exercise habits.

I have not had coffee since a short time after starting the program. My interest in alcohol (while social at best) has decreased. I went for annual blood work and everything came back great. I even was able to donate blood recently and not have to have them spin my blood for my iron counts.

People say that when you go off Herbalife you end up gaining... Well, if you don't stick to healthy eating, on any diet or lifestyle change, you're bound to gain weight. If you replace a healthy shake or breakfast with McDonald's then yes, you'll gain weight - simple logic.

Everyone has to make a choice about what they want to do to improve their health/food consumption/diet/lifestyle. Why do people have to constantly be bashed? I don't sell, promote or gain anything other than sharing my opinion.
As far as it being a pyramid scheme, that has ABSOLUTELY nothing to do with the product itself. If the SEC found cause for concern about their selling practices, the place would be closed. However, they continue to thrive and bring on new customers all the time.

Thank you for your feedback! Many have voiced the advice of just eating correct but many of us use vitamins, and supplements to help us maintain our health. Not really sure why some took your opinion/ experience as a reason to lecture you! I appreciate your two cents worth!

LOL

I think someone has just a little too much time to spend on the forums!! Really? my turn to say LOL, over 2000 post??? I think you may have bigger issues then a person giving their experience with Herbalife.

So, you come here to ask a question and then insult the people who spend time around here answering questions? Sounds legit. This community is going to love you :flowerforyou:

LOL isn't an answer! Also didn't take too much time to type it I'm sure but thanks sooo much for taking that time, I so appreciate the knowledge you have shared, it has helped me decide as to whether or not Herbalife was a legit business.

I think someone has just a little too much time to spend on the forums!! Really? my turn to say LOL, over 2000 post??? Based on the fact you have been on here since 2010 and have only lost 6 of your 10 pounds I really wouldn't find you as qualified to answer even the most basic question. What you do obviously isn't working to well!

Oh, isn't this an interesting little add.

Well, here's the thing. I started at 149 and changed my goal. But I was never here for drastic weight loss (sorry!). I was here to run longer and faster, learn how to lift heavy things, prepare for a Tough Mudder and find some like-minded friends.

But, if you need proof...

Would you like me to post my strength gains?
My cardio gains?
Do you want me to talk about how I quit smoking?
How about how I completely changed my entire lifestyle with a well-rounded diet, regular exercise and sleep?
Would you like to see some pictures?

What else can I provide for you? I'm an open book, and everyone here knows it.

Awesome on all of this! I'd LOVE that kind of progress myself. :flowerforyou: :drinker:

Not sure if this is OK to ask on here and I don't want people trying to sell things to me but wondering about people's personal feelings both consuming herbal ifs products and selling them?? I currently take protein powder and wonder if this is a good way to get my products and make money! Delete post if not ok

This was my original question! Thanks for those who took the time to give some feedback pertaining to my question as I wasn't familiar with Herbalife. Sounds like a pyramid scheme I don't want any part of! I'm off to exercise, have a good one!

I don't understand why people have to insults ways that people are getting in shape. I started using Herbalife products in May and I'm down 30lbs. I love the products and the community.
