So yea, someone tried to tell me that on Facebook. This was the first I had heard something this outlandish. Not only is it the "nectar of the gods", it burns the same amount of calories as it has in it so you net 0 when you drink a shake. Other words of wisdom from the same person.... it takes 9 calories to process 1 gram of protein so for every gram of protein you eat, you actually net -5 calories per gram... You can eat unlimited HerbalLife shakes and unlimited chicken breasts and you will never gain weight!

That is all. Just a vent.

    Sounds legit. I think I'll pick some up after I finish wiring bail money to my long-lost friend in Nigeria.

    This is crazy.....the whole "negative calorie" food thing. The list used to be veggies (and fruit...yeah right). Now it's protien too! Miraculous!

    Does that include chasing the chicken around a yard like Rocky Balboa?

    OP - your most explains why there are so many struggling overweight people. So much BS in the world, so little common sense, and so many "experts" who have it all wrong.

    Well this brings a new level of crazy to Herbalife.

    I'm curious... how old is this person who was giving out this "advice"?

    Sad part is, he got someone to buy that crap off of his posts.

    My guess is another case of reading the title and not reading the post...
