Any one tried Herbalife?

It's an unnecessary expense.




It also doubles as a pyramid selling scam.

You don't have to eat breakfast to lose weight. Plenty of people skip breakfast and lose weight - are fairly large % of intermittent fasters (IF) skip breakfast and lose weight.

Losing weight is just the first step. Meal replacements can help with the first step. The problem is there is a second step for which meal replacements are worthless.

I got fat because my portions were too big. Meal replacements do nothing to address that. Measuring & logging REAL food does address that. That is what MFP is designed for. You won't get much support here, sorry.

My mom did herbalife many years ago. It's an investment. Probably not practical long term for the average person. It gives your body a huge boost of nutrients but in time you should learn to eat many of those naturally. I would say do anything that you can afford that makes you feel better. But it's not a cure all. You still have to eat healthy and exercise to lose weight. Plenty of people lose weight without it. It's just a personal choice and financial decision. Most people I know that have been successful on here just incorporate vegetables into every meal, even breakfast. Good luck.

I personally used herbalife. It was expensive and I gained it all back because I didn't learn the essential eating habits necessary to keep the weight off. Sure it was a quick fix, but it was only temporary. I had to learn that there was no magic pill that was going to do this for me. I had to work for it by changing my diet. Don't give a dollar to this company who sells you a shake full of fillers and nasty ingredients. Instead, Spend that money on whole foods that are going to give your body what it needs to reset and change. In this time you will learn to love healthy foods and it will become a lifestyle change for you. I can tell you want the change, and I think it is awesome that you are ready for it. I just want you to do it the right way so it sticks. Good luck on your journey!!!

My cousin and his wife lost over 100 pounds using it. So I purchased some from them and have been using it for a few days. My biggest problem with losing weight in the past was not eating breakfast. For some reason eating in the morning would make me nauseous for the rest of the day but I found that I can drink an herbalife shake and not have that problem. I'm just wondering if anyone has tried it and can tell me their experience. Thanks!

Breakfast isn't a requirement for weight loss.

No need to buy expensive shakes.

I've lost 64lbs not eating breakfast. If I'm working out early I drink a protein shake that is far more nutritious and cheaper than Herbalife products. As far as I know, my shakes won't cause liver problems. Herbalife can't say that, sadly.

I don't understand the bashing of herbalife as a product. It's a meal replacement shake like any other and it works if you stick to it. No I'm not a distributor either, just someone who uses it and likes it. As someone who struggles eating during the day, these shakes are easy for me to drink and get my necessary calories and nutrition for weight loss. If I get a little hungry I'll eat cheese or lunch meat and I'm fine til my healthy dinner. The shakes aren't "crap" or anymore expensive then other shakes, they're full of good ingredients and nutrition. I say if you want to try them then go for it. Nothing bad about them. I've lost 12 pounds using them. Also, I'll probably drink them after I reach my goals, because they are easier than eating when I don't wanna ☺ good luck on your journey!

Here's why people "bash" meal replacements.......

Consider that the vast majority of people who lose weight will gain it all back.

This website is designed for users to measure portions & log them. Meal replacements help you skip all that. As you said in your post above......."I'll probably drink them after I reach my goals, because they are easier than eating."

Keeping the weight off requires A) Drinking Herbal life forever to maintain your weight or B.) Doing the work.....measuring and logging actual food. In other words; figuring out how to eat properly.

Nothing bad about them?...........Google Herbalife & liver damage.

Aw, man, does the FTC's recent multimillion dollar judgement against Herbalife and forced restructuring mean we're going to see more of these "just looking for advice" ads?
