If I tell you I'm not, are you going to tell me where I can get it?
In all seriousness, if you are binge-ing, or cheating... it's likely because you are not eating enough.
What is your daily calorie intake?0 -

Then my advice would be to stop wasting your money on it. You can figure out your calorie goal here and budget a bit of sweets in there. For free!0 -

If you are "cheating" on you meals, is it really working for you? I have been eating ice cream every night for over a week, and still losing. There is no reason to deprive yourself of the things you love. You may have to consume less of it, but you can still have your sweets. Working these things into your diet seems to be a better idea than eating these things and then labelling it as "cheating," which could make you feel bad. Just my thoughts. Best of luck.0

I used to be on it but I've lost more weight not taking herbalife and doing my own thing than taking their products....but that's just me though.0

The smell of the pills makes me gag.
If you are cheating on your meals, is it really working? Isn't it supposed to help suppress your appetite?
I just had a nice slice of key lime pie. I didn't "cheat". I made sure it fit into my calorie goal for the day. 31 lbs and still going strong and eating what I want.0 -

Yes I agree I don't think I'm eating enough that s why I decided to get on mfp. My limit on here is 2000 . But that's a lot. You have to be a member to get a discount0 -

So the goal is to fit it into my calorie limit? Herbalife is the only thing that helped me lose weight but there are times I indulge in the sweets0 -

If you're losing weight, it's because you're in a calorie deficit. You can choose to do the calorie deficit without giving money to Herbalife.0 -

Absolutely! Are you trying to lose weight? I saw you posted that your goal is 2000 cal, that seems a bit high for weight loss, but depending on how fast you want to lose, how big you are (both height and weight), and your age, it could be accurate. Calories for weight loss.
That being said, you may need to find balance in what you are eating. I lost weight while eating hotdogs and drinking wine for a week, but I was hungry all the time. Veggies are great to fill up on, they are low cal for the volume, proteins and fats tend to keep you feeling full longer. I eat a lot of great things throughout the day, and end the day with a treat.

Herbalife may have helped you get into a calorie deficit, but weight loss came from the deficit and not the shakes. The goal of all weight loss programs is simply to help you reduce your intake to the point that you lose weight. You should be able to fit sweets into your calorie limit from time to time, which reduces going crazy on them.0 -

Yes exactly, it is high, so I was thinking maybe 1500 cals instead, yes I will pay attention to my calories and eat more veggies thank you for your help0 -
Herballife is generally considered a pretty crappy product in the fitness industry set up on a MLM platform that scams members with false claims.0

Herbalife makes a snack defender, it helps curb the sweet tooth, not something u need to take all the time, but maybe only when h need to. It's ok to occasionally indulge, it's called balance, but sounds like ur calorie count is high. Let me know if you need any help at all with your calorie counts.-1

ok i will be messaging you! thanks

I drink the shakes in the morning (formula 1mixed with whey protein) when I need to rush out the door, but I don't follow their plan at all. I calorie count and the shakes are just a means of taking in calories and filling me up in the morning.
For me the shakes are a convenience but not a crutch. My friend followed the plan religiously, and yes she lost a ton quickly, but when she had to switch from the 2 shakes a day plan to the 1 a day it caused her a lot of anxiety learning to balance things out and add calories.0 -
Herbalife (not "herbal life") is a scam, and dangerous.
It only makes money for the company and some high-level distributers.
PLEASE read the info on this page:
http://www.mlmwatch.org/04C/Herbalife/herbalife00.html
Especially pay attention to the 2 things under "journal articles", where they talk about liver damage / failure.
Also under "other recent information", read the one about high lead levels in their products.0 -

Few weeks ago, I try herbal life for a week. I have a busy schedule work long hours, no time for the gym and it's easy go meal. But I keep cheating on my meals eating foods that would never think about eating. After, I stop using herbal life and wasted money. I felt sick to my stomach and gained weight. Now, I make time to go to the gym and eat healthy.0

Weight loss is a calorie deficit only, everything outside of that is preference.
Stop the herbal life, eat at a calorie deficit, and you will lose weight.0 -
Honestly, I used herbalife and lost over 60lbs. Herbalife was just a tool for me. I used it because I liked the taste and I enjoy meal replacements, it was what I could stick to consistently. They satisfy me on a level that works for me. I did not use the tablets, until recently. The verdict is still out on if I see a difference with adding them. The truth of the matter is that herbalife is a tool like all other tools. If you like it and it helps you stay within your calorie range than I would say use it. If you are trying to use it to lose weight but you dont truly enjoy it, there are other options. I like the carb/protein ratio. It will take many attempts to find out what works for YOU! For me, it wasn't a waste of money because, as I said.. It was my tool. Granted, I could have spent my money on other things, but I chose that. If I had to pick between herbalife and crossfit membership due to cost, I would pick the crossfit membership every time. I truly believe the best way to lose fat is to get your *kitten* moving and figure out your calorie range and macros. There is nothing wrong with herbalife, at the same time, its not magic either.0
