Has anyone tried Herbalife or any other nutrition program?
About a month out from our wedding, my fiancee and I thought it would be cool to try Herbalife (plus we were helping out her friends who sell the stuff, haha). We aren't doing it for the weight loss side of things (not necessary), more just to like "detox" before the honeymoon, when we will eat anything and everything we want hehe.
We're about a week in, and I have to say, though I was skeptical, I do feel a little healthier just from substituting the shake for breakfast and dinner. If anything it's making my digestion feel more normal than it had been here in Brazil for the last couple months.
The shakes are actually pretty delish. Its just kind of annoying not having a big ol' breakfast to start the day.
Has anyone else tried something like this, for weight loss or otherwise? Has it been helpful or was it useless? Is it good for the long term?
Nope. I do know that the FDA is finally cracking down on unsupported claims by companies that make supplements, and that research studies have shown that most of the supplements don't do anything except make expensive urine. :)
That said, if it makes you feel better, keep doing it!
I don't have any personal experience with Herbalife but I've had to talk a few people out of getting involved in the multi-level marketing scams that push their products.
In reading your question, it seems less like a question and more like an excuse to say how much you like Herbalife. To answer your "question", I will say that I lost 85 pounds without any pills or diet programs. To me, those things aren't necessary if you really want to improve yourself badly enough.
Never tried them but never needed to. They just remind me of snake oil.
