hi ive been on herbalife for nearly 2 months and i havent lost 1kg...can anyone please tell me if this is normal???, ive read everywhere that you loose min 3 kgs the 1st month.I mean come on it is a difficult diet, replacing 2 meals a day, and no weight loss???? i really dont get it. if eating 2 shakes a day and q healthy meal is not enough than please tell me what is.
anything helps here, advice really needed.
thanks alot.
 
i'd say ditch the herbalife -and go for what's been proven to work -healthy eating, reasonable calories and reasonable exercise - and save your money for a kick ass new wardrobe :D

What are your current stats (age/gender/height/weight) and what is your goal?

My bet would be that your calories are just too low -that can be as problematic as having too high calories...
 
hiii, thanks for awnsering, i weigh 61kgs, 1.60cm height, i just wanted to loose 5 kgs , im 25. it cant be that difficult.you really think i should cut herbalife????? i cant believe ive been on this for so many weeks and nothing, its really depressing, because you change all ure habits,leave food, eat once a day, and nothing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh god am i depressed, i dont even have any diabtees or thiroid problems, what the heeeeellllll
 
If you read arond the forum, you'll find we're not real big fans of any type of diet that requires you to reach into your pocketbook -those tend to not lead to permanent results - what does is a lifestyle change to get you to the weight you want tobe and stay there..

I think I converted th metric to

135 lbs and about 5'3 - which is in the healthy weight range - so it does become a little tougher

A simple calculation of your bmr -is about 1450 calories -that's the approximate number of calories you'd need in a day to maintain your weight by just breathing..

I would suggest getting an account at and keeping track of your calories and then reading around the forum for some workout advice

I would add one more thing. You can't buy your way thin.
 
Make it work for you...

If you find that you are not losing weight with the herbalife diet, then look at the inches you are losing. If you have been on the plan for that long you should have seen a physical difference. Most that do not see changes do not drink the recommended water requirements, rule of thumb is at least 8-8oz glasses of water everyday. Cut out the toxins like sodas, coffee, and sugar enriched drinks. Weight loss will come, but inches should be first. It helps to have at least three small protein snacks throughout the day to keep your metabolism going. Hope this helps!
 
I can't tell if herbalifeguy26 is a herbalife pusher or something entirely new that I don't even know about yet.

How I lost weight and how you can do it too

Hey there, I struggled at first but started to lose weight when I found this I lost 2 pounds in the first week and steadily continued. I learned that it is about replacing bad habits with new healthy habits that you can stick with, instead being on a "diet" or working out like grazy for one week.

I think the most important thing you can do is to write down everything you eat and measure it. For example I thought I was eating healthy but I was eating too much carbs and way too much fat (50-70 grams when I should have kept it under 30 grams).

Educate yourself and learn to make healthy choices. I did it and you do it too...good luck, Matti

how about soup?!

hello, all you drink shaking people out there. how come you guys are having this urge to spend so much money for shakes that replace a "regular" meal? - here's my suggestion: prepare yourself a nice soup! use fresh veggies, thats the very best, of course. If you don't have the time or don't wanna prepare it yourself, use (almost) any soup from the supermarket.
you'll save hundreds of dollars while your body still loses POUNDS!
 
I heard that if you only eat while a midget is beating you in the face with a herring that has been sitting out in the sun for 10 days that you won't absorb any of the calories that you are eating.

re your herbalife problem

Hi Omma

What herbalife program are you on? just the shakes or are you taking a complete system such as the ultimate program? You need to take your vitamins 3 x a day, plus 2 shakes per day, and balanced meal 1 x day, and maybe 2 fruit/vege snacks if still hungry. To accelerate the results you can add the protein powder and the thermogenic tea. The aloe vera is also beneficial to increase the results. If you try and walk a bit each day that may help you out of your plateau. But make sure you are taking the aloe vera in the morning, and the vitamins from the ultimate pack 3 x day evenly spaced, so in the morning, lunchtime and dinner time. I hope this helps cheers!

Herbalife products are not working. They may work in the first few weeks and then you come back to basics. Nobody want to buy this products. I am using it for more then seven months only because, I lost my money in it and now I have it for entire next year or more. I was one of their distributors. It is worthless. :ack2:
 
Okay I see that people are mix on what they think on Herbalife. Like all diets Herbalife does work for some people. If it did not work than people would not have lost 100lbs or lost 25lbs and got rid of pain.

Also, if eating healthy and exercise are so convenient than why dont more people do it. I know that an Herbalife shake is cheaper than a meal. So you do save money over time if you are consistent.

All diets work well with some people and not so well with others.

People who disagree with Herbalife, that is fine and it is your opinion.

My advice is you ask your sponsor or wellness coach why you are not losing weight and try to work a plan so you stay consistent.
You might be on a wrong program considering YOUR sponsor should make a program that specializes your needs. So there might me a lack of commnication.

There are a LOT of us who disagree with Herbalife for 2 good reasons. First, real, lasting, weight loss results from a diet of whole, real foods, not chemical nutrients that mimic real food. Second, a whole lot of folks lost more money than weight in the Herbalife multi-level marketing scheme. So, don't be surprized to see negative posts re: Herbalife.:argue:
 
From a former herbalife user...ditch it. spend your money on new clothes and start counting your calories. I lost way more weight conciously eating then I ever did spending my hard earned cash on shakes and suppliments. Sure, the promotional videos are facinating...motivating even...but real results happen when you change your lifestyle not you checking account balance.
 
Rapid Weight Loss Techniques

Other than physical appearance weight affects a person in many ways. This could be the overall quality of life, self-esteem, depression, health risks, and physical incapabilities. There are a lot of positive changes once a person experience weight loss. It is for this reason why a lot of people are searching for a weight loss technique that will surely trim down those fats and get a super slim head turner body.

The first thing that an over-weight should do is seek a doctor to recommend the best weight loss regimen. This will be done after a full physical examination, which leads to the determination of proper weight loss technique. And to lose weight fast and effectively four aspects of life should be changed: what to eat, how to eat, behavior and activity level.

Here are fast tips that can change an over-weight's life:

First: Fast weight loss composes of a multi-faceted technique that consists mindset, exercise, and in other cases, diet supplements. Begin by learning a diet food plan that can easily be accustomed with. Incorporate an exercise plan that allows even at least fifteen minutes a day like brisk walking, running, swimming, and dancing.

Second: Set realistic approaches. The ability to focus and have proper mindset enables someone on a diet to quickly lose those extra pounds. With discipline and proper mind set, a dieter will never be discouraged and lose focus.

Third: Listen as the body speaks. Each and everyone's body metabolism reacts differently to different fast weight loss programs and plans. Try substituting one program for another to compensate the body's reaction. Exercise program must be suitable to one's body, as others are not able to exercise as rigorously as others can. If walking is all that can be done, then walk for this is proven the best exercise. Muscles burn more calories than fats so it's also best to put on a little muscle and looking good too.

Fourth: Eat more fibers for it makes a person full sooner and stays in the tummy longer, slowing down the rate of digestion. A single serving of whole grain bread moves fat through the digestive system faster. Grains turn into blood sugar that spikes the body's insulin level. Thus, making the body more energized and ready to tell the body when it should stop burning fats or start storing.

Fifth: Keep away from fried foods especially deep-fried as this contains a great amount of fat. Although fish and chicken appear leaner than beef, this white meat can contain more fat than when a beef is fried. It is recommended for those on strict diet to opt for grilled food as this does not have or contain less amount of fat after the food is cooked.

Sixth: Takes lots of fluid. Drinking at least six to eight glasses of water a day keeps the body refreshed. Since weight loss depends on how the body eliminates body wastes, the body must stay hydrated.

All in all, discipline and consistency is still the best practice and the key to a rapid weight loss success. Light dieting, workout, and right amount of supplementation applied in a regular way everyday will result in faster weight loss than having a massive action only to be followed a return to old habits as this would only lead to gaining more weight than when the weight loss plan has started.
 
Losing Weight? - Go Herbal

These days, there is a great need for overweight Americans to lose those excess pounds. Being healthy would not only lead them to have a healthier lifestyle but it will also literally lighten their load, and improve their overall well-being.

There is a long list of dieting options available. There are exercise programs, exercise machines, dietary supplements, dietary food and drinks, diet pills - there are even soaps which claim to help you lose pounds while you bathe.

One other available option to shed off those unwanted pounds is to go herbal.

Herbal weight loss products have been in great demand for people who want to lose weight the natural way. However, when you take herbal supplements to lose weight, you would have to wait for a longer time for the results because of the more subtle effects of medicines which came from plants and natural herbs.

Here are some herbal weight loss options that you might want to consider:

1. Herbal weight loss products

There are a lot of herbal weight loss products available in the market now. You can check out the Internet and you will find a lot of herbal weight loss pills and products.

Be careful, however, as there are some products which claim to be safe and natural because they are herbal, but some actually have side effects because of non-extensive research on the effects of these products.

Here are some ingredients and chemicals which make up some herbal weight loss products that you should watch out for, as they might have harmful effects to your health:

> Senna. This is an herbal laxative. Senna is a main ingredient in weight loss teas, and it works by stimulation the colon. The downside effect of this herb is dehydration. It can also lead to colon problems and can become addictive. Some people, when addicted, are unable to perform bowel movements without it, so watch out.

> Chromium picolinate. This is a synthetic compound found in herbal weight loss products. Chromium is a nutrient which helps regulate blood-sugar level. However, this ingredient, when taken in high doses, may cause damage in the chromosomes. It can also lead to dehydration.

> St. John's wort. This supplement increases the production of a chemical in the brain. If not used properly, it may cause eye and skin sensitivity, mild gastrointestinal distress, fatigue and itching.

Although a lot of herbal products claim to be safe and natural, it is better to scrutinize the ingredients and research about the effects of the product itself before going for these herbal dietary pills.

2. Organic food.

In Wichita, Kansas, organic food has found its way to more homes and restaurants. Organic food devotees believe that consuming organic goodies help their bodies as well as the environment.

A person who buys organically raised eggs and vegetables claim to be healthier, and they are not spending money on doctors and prescriptions as these keep them healthier and away from the hospital. This could also be an option for weight watchers, as organic food is known to be kinder to your weight than chemically-processed food products.

3. Green Tea.

Studies show that intake of green tea, or green tea extracts burns extra calories. Also, green tea with caffeine can increase fat burning by up to 40% thereby reducing fat.

This is one good option for those who want to lose weight. In a study done, people who took green tea were found to lose 2 to 3 times more weight than those who did not drink green tea.

These results show that green tea is a natural product for the treatment of obesity. Thus, it also makes for a healthier dietary option, not to mention the good effects that it has on the body as compared to caffeine. A cup of tea gives an emmediate energy lift without the side effects of caffeine.

3. Caffeine.

Coffee provides an energy boost to increase fat burning. Caffeine also provides a likelihood to be active, which in turn increases your rate of calorie burn.

4. Immortality Herb

This herb, whose scientific name is Gymnostemna Pentaphyllum, is known to have the following benefits:

> increases healthy blood flow
> reduces artery blocks
> aids healthy blood pressure
> increases the rate of fat burning

5. Apple Cider Vinegar

There are pills and food supplements whose main ingredient is apple cider vinegar. Here are the benefits of taking this herbal option:

> weight loss
> improved cholesterol level
> improved high blood pressure
> helps prevent rheumatoid arthritis
