Hello,

has any one tried herbalife weight loss, commenting on whether it is any good? If it is good where is the best place to get it from?

Many thanks

Liz

Hi Liz there's a weight loss chat thread that will probably have more traffic for this if you look in the talk topics :)

Be careful. It's part of a massive sales scheme pyramid type affair. I think it is supposed to work in conjunction with a super healthy diet and lots of exercise. Doesn't take a genius to figure that would work.
My friend tried it, got obsessed and now spends her life trying to flog it on facebook. It's not especially cheap. I really would steer clear. Despite her efforts to sell it, she's put me right off.

Imo steer clear. I knew someone who got involved in this it was totally absorbed with it..it took over her life. In the end she lost her job because she was obsessed by it. [ almost like cultish following] However, she did lose a shed load of weight but its shakes she is using..so it doesnt breed a healthy lifestyle change. In the end its up to you but best to do a bit of research.

I lost 5 1/2 st using Lighter Life. I know a lot of people are very down on Very Low Calorie diets but for some (like me) they are a life line.

The most important factor for me was the once a week counselling session, which I still attend. As a pp said, do your research.

And yes, I'm still the same size :-)

I think the op was referring to herbal life..not lighter life? Dont think its the same thing?

Its a con to loose weight or body fat and keep it off you have to eat clean foods and put the right foods in eat more frequently than three meals a day at regular intervals.

I know Green, but I think they're similar vlc diets. Horses for courses - some things work for some and not others.

I think it depends on what kind of 'eater' you are and stubborn stone v at lot of weight.

Doing any/vlc diet can be hard on your own esp if you're an emotional eater.

Oh right..never heard of lighter life. Tbh, its not so much the 'diet' as it is the kind of business it is. As one other poster mentioned..its a pyramid scheme. The friend i knew got sucked right into it....she just spent all her time at work trying to flog it to everyone. Her job then took second fiddle and she left before she was fired.
