    My best friend was very faithful to herbalife... for years. I was always very iffy about it on how those very expensive products would help and I always tried to dissuade her from using them. When it came to Herbalife, we would have serious arguments, her thinking it worked but I saw that it never did. She never lost the weight she wanted, and those products sent her to the ER. After that, she completely stopped taking those Herbalife products. I'm glad she didn't die because of it.

    Herbalife is just another mlm scam. Low quality junk. Like like the rest of the mlm stuff. Eat at. Calorie deficit and youll lose weight. No fads needed, save your money . These mlm companies prey on desperate nieve people
    , dont be foolish. Save your money and dont fall into the trap.

    This is the only post you respond to??

    Classic case of only being interested in validating a preconceived notion. Ignore the real, valuable advice. Latch on to the only person who has the same misguided mindset. Follow the path to not accomplishing the goal. Waste both money and time. Sad.

    Hi I started Herbalife 2 months ago and so far it's been working really good for me I haven't found any other diets that I've helped but this one . is anyone else having good luck with it and if so they have a name good advice for me while being on it. So far ive lost over 20 lbs

    You will have luck with any diet as long as you eat at a calorie deficit.

    That said, you can eat at a deficit without any weight loss product and still lose weight, therefore the weight loss product is 100% unnecessary.

    Thank you for making that clarification for one & all !
    I had used the Herbalife products about 3 decades back with very memorable results (in a good way lol), so when I decided that it was once again time to get my weight in check again, I ordered up a fresh batch of their products. Especially for those going very low on your daily caloric intake, it becomes more challenging to make sure that your basic nutritional needs are being met. I believe that said products make it easier to meet your nutritional needs while keeping your calories low. So far my favorite flavor shake is the Cookies n Crème ! =o)

    Yo-yoing weight really sucks ...it's like a depressive cycle

    Products like this overpriced VLCD programme feed into the disordered thinking around food that is rife in modern society

    The relief of cutting through the nonsense and working out how to live in the real world, with real food and real enjoyment is immense

    And I wish you that type of knowledge and understanding ...the ability to clear your mind of fads and scams and every piece of snake-oil you are sold by companies, mockumentaries, magazines, tabloids, well-meaning friends, families

    When I realised it was mainly bull, with a few scientific research facts badly extrapolated I though feck it ...go back to basics, count calories, move more

    It works

    Introducing the new and improved CICO diet ...weigh and log accurately, move more ...learn to strutt

    That's a fantastic post rabbitjb. Unfortunately I doubt this particular OP is receptive. :( Out of 3 pages of advice against Herbalife, she picked out the one response in favor and responded to that alone. The idea that you don't have to make yourself suffer to lose weight is something that some people just aren't ready to grok.

    I have this magical weight loss programme it consists of eating at calorie deficit, logging accurately, weighing solids measure liquid, you spend 80% of your time on nutrition eating what your body needs allow treats and if it fits its good get some exercise it makes you feel amazing drink water and the weight falls off dont live on shakes dont waste money this is about health not a quick fix to drop weight then gain it and lose it. These companies rely on success so you buy their products then fail so they keep getting richer. Educate yourself with the amazing MFP community I did and still do it works its free and Its successful
