Im just curious if anyone does either and what they think of it. I was looking into Herbalife 24, its more for people who workout all the time and shakeology well, that is just good for anyone i know but both are very expensive. Thoughts?

never heard of herballife....now I wanna research it a little and see. I actually really like shakeology even though to me its a give or take. Even with the coachs price its a bit much a month..0

If both are expensive, then there are alternatives that are better than both0

I know quite a few people who partake in Herbalife and while it seems like a great thing, I was practically starving after replacing two meals with it. It's great for on the go and when you don't have enough time to eat and you do get a lot of nutrients, but I really do prefer to chew my food. Personal opinion here though.
As for the differences, I'm not sure other than the taste people talk about.0 -

Both are overpriced and not that great of put together products.
You don't need any of them if you can get your protein through whole foods0 -
It's a tie. No and No.0

this girl at my gym about eight months ago started using and being a distributor of Shakeology. I left said gym and came back six months later - she looks about 20 lbs heavier than when i left.
i suggest you eat like a normal person and save your money.0 -
It's like choosing between cults. Both will want to drain you of your money and want you to spread their propaganda.0

I really wanted to do Shakeology but it's sooo expensive. If you can afford it, go for it! I'm doing Body by Vi shakes, they don't have *as much* nutrition as Shakeology but they are still good, they taste great, and are less than half the cost! You can look up Body by Vi shakes on Google...last time I put the website I was flagged because they thought I was advertising. I'm just sharing what I know works!0

And how do they work exactly, do they have some magical compound that makes you lose weight quicker?0 -
Nice negativity, people. Cult, really? How about we live in a world with lots of choices?
I drink and love Shakeology.
Yes, I'm a coach too- for the discount. But I don't push it on anyone.
To each their own, I say. It works for me.
I don't know enough about Herbalife to say.
Some of you seem a bit obsessed with the need to attack anyone who likes one of these products.0 -
Never tried Herbalife. Been using Shakeology for a good year.
It's not marketed or designed as a protein supplement. It has equaly ratio of carbs and protein. I use it as a snack during the day most time. One scoop, with ice and all the nutrients found in that are tough to beat.
It's like insurance, we all don't eat perfectly everyday so this help fills in the gaps. It's also a nice change of pace for breakfast over my normal routine. One scoop of shakeology, one scoop protien powder and a banana blended with ice. Quick and simple.
Agreed that it's pricey, even with a coach discount.0 -

LOL! couldn't have said it better myself.
Nothing can beat good old fashion nutrition sense: lean protein, dark leafy greens, whole grains... can you get ahold of a "food guide"?. Or even a book like Eat Clean has good information on food sense. I would recommend that way over any protein shake diet. That being said, I do sometimes have a protein shake only if I'm on the run, or for a pre or post work out snack. Maybe once every other week, if that.
JMHO... Best wishes0 -

It works to give me more nutrition. I'm eating healthy foods, fruits and vegetables and protein. But it helps me to get more nutrients. I don't use mine as a meal replacement though, I just have one with breakfast or after a workout, or sometimes both. It's just a good protein shake, I'm not claiming it's anything more than that

1) it's pretty easy to beat the vitamins and minerals found in shakeO
2) the other label filler is all in prop blends, so how do you know it's in any beneficial amount?0 -
No and No - Real food, whole foods - balanced diet with appropriate portions for you....WHY would anyone wants to drink a yucky powdered shake when you can have a piece of lean steak instead?0

Good gravy. I was being a tad facetious. I did not accuse them of sacrificing babies or wearing black hoods.Nice negativity, people. Cult, really? How about we live in a world with lots of choices?

Please do not take it as a personal criticism. I am criticizing the system, including their pricing and MLM structure.
They want your dough, and will recruit you to sell for them. True or false?0 -

Nothing wrong with them. Well except for the extremely high price. If they were cheaper than alternatives, that would be another story.0 -
Herbalife I don't know about but Shakeology is a MLM (Multi-Level Marketing). To me that translates to scam. Other well known MLM's are Amway and Mary Kay cosmetics.
People will jump in to defend Shakeology. Often those people will be Shakeology distributors. Listen to them if you'd like, but I'm sure the people at Coca-Cola would also like to tell you about the health benefits of Coke Zero.
And please don't anyone try to turn this into some "stop hating/be supportive" mumbo-jumbo. I'm not attacking you. I'm attacking a marketing gimmick. You're not a protected class or a minority who needs equal rights. You're a salesperson. I can give my free opinion of your product without you crying about hurt feelings.0 -

This is what Herbalife is like. There are people who sell it and it try to get others to sign up to sell it.0 -
Herbalife is also a hardcore MLM.Herbalife I don't know about but Shakeology is a MLM (Multi-Level Marketing).0 -
From what I've heard the nutrients in herbalife are supper crappy low quality. Someone on here did the research and I'm not sure where the thread is. I have had herballife though and it is tastey but what I've read and the eval done on my by them was TOTAL bull****, the person that owned the store and the company really misinformed me. I also don't know anyone who's lost weight with it, including myself, and knew all the customers and employees where I went.
I don't recommend herbalife0 -
I used to be a distributor for Herbalife. I used their green program back in 2001. Lost 30 lbs in around 6 weeks. It really shocked and impressed me so I started selling it. then during the big efedra (spelling?) conflict they changed their recipe. After the first round I waited around a year and did the green package again. It didn't do anything with the new recipe except make me sweat. There weren't any jitters with either recipe though. I also tried the Gold package and was so jittery I couldn't concentrate. I stopped selling it when I went back to school. The basic packages were pricey (over $140/month), and to get the best results you needed close to $100 of additional supplements. So my opinion is that since the recipe change (which was probably necessary) there isn't enough of an advantage to justify the price.0

^^ ThisIt's a tie. No and No.0 -
Opinion amended. Herbalife is a scam too. All MLM's are. If they had such good products they could sell them on their own in stores. They instead recruit people to recruit people (yada yada) who will pressure friends and family into buying the product. There's no other reason to sell goods the way a MLM does.
Ever known someone who signed up to sell those Cutco knives? Same thing here.0 -
it's all good. No hurt feelings or blubbering here.
It works for me, as I said. Not trying to push it. I'm no salesperson.
Just answering the woman's question with my experience.
Moving on.0 -
I used Herbalife a few years ago prior to becoming ill and having surgeries. We used the shakes and snack bars as a family and found it to be very productive in our weight loss goals and still give us the nutrition we needed. Now that my health has somewhat stabilized and I'm back on "the wagon," I wish it wasn't so expensive.
So, in my opinion, Herbalife is a good product and if you can afford it, go for it! Now I'm curious on the Shakeology.0 -
The real competition here is:
Overpriced hyped up crap VS. Real foods that naturally contain nutritional value0 -
I use the herbalife shake in between my breakfast and lunch. Its only 90 calories. I add fruit and it helps me make it to lunch. Some people use it instead of a meal...... Sorry but I'd rather eat something to help me lose weight.0

I had to tell my daughter about the Cutco scam, her and her boyfriend were falling for it, hook line and sinker. Of course at first she thought I was just being negative....now she realizes I was right.Opinion amended. Herbalife is a scam too. All MLM's are.

I'm just curious and realize I'm going off topic, but how is Mary Kay a scam? I don't sell it or buy it on the regular. But I'm confused by that statement.0
