herbal life. Vomit inducing.

I just had the plumber around and we were talking about diets. He started herbal life yesterday and gave me a tea/aloe Vera drink. 10 mins later I'm sitting on the toilet with a bucket on my lap and vomiting. Is this normal? I haven't thrown up in years! I don't know if I should be concerned about being allergic to it or something? Anyone ever heard of this?

Avoid. It's MLM crap. Sure they had a lawsuit against them. Total scam. You would lose weight drinking only three McDonald's milkshakes a day. Hope you feel better OP.

Oh that was pretty intense, feel a bit better now it's out though. Yuck!

Also avoid talking diets with the plumber. And MLM crap, they can be really dangerous!

A lot of people are intolerant to aloe vera taking orally like that so just don't take it again. And forget about Herbal Life.

Yeah I don't think the plumber will be my new diet guru 😷

My dd is allergic to aloe Vera. Lots of people are.
Don't get sucked in. Their diet is not sustainable.
Just eat less, move more and watch your portions. A pound a week is sustainable and that's nearly 4 stone in a year while eating proper food.

@curlykaren I really hope so!😂😂😂

Herbalife is bad stuff, despite the name making it look natural, look at the ingredients in it there is some bad stuff in there, that's why you were vomiting.

I'm sure a Herbalife 'coach' will be along soon to correct us whilst telling us of the lavish lifestyle they lead.

As said eat less and more healthy and move more, I lost 7 stone no fancy shakes or juices, making sensible choices.

Love the link some of the comments telling him he knows nothing are pure drinking the coolaid
