Herbalife Forum

Sometimes consuming only the shakes and not eating real foods cause mood swings and depression

you need to eat a small meal, like grilled chicken salad or Turkey Deli Sandwich. ( you can research high protein meals. ) I bought a " Pur " water pitcher from Wal Mart, to fitler out the tap water that we get here, and taste so good for me. From there I drink water constantly, and mix herbalife tea with it as well. ( only 4 - 5 glasses of tea a day though ) . But my philosophy is that if something's doesn't feel right, drink a glass of water and see if that doesn't solve the problem.

Detoxification process includes bad breath ( even after brushing your teeth! ), diarrhea ( even though you didn't eat greasy foods ) , and headaches. I rid of the bad breath and headaches by.. " You know it" .. Drinking Water. but that's good, it lets you know that Herbalife is working on you.

Let me know if you have any questions.

I have been on the program - 2 shakes a day with meal in the evening since right
after Thanksgiving. In the last week or so I have been having diarrhea non-stop even during the night I am up. Is this normal?

Hi..I feel nauseau. Is that normal?

These symptoms might be normal as a result of the detoxification process and the removal of toxins from the body. If this persists, you can always seek expert medical advice and even take the product to your doctor to check the ingredients and whether you have any allergies. Be sure to drink lots of water during the day and have a good healthy balanced meal for dinner.

I've been using Herbalife since October. In the last month or so, I've been losing alot of hair! Has anyone else had this happen? I'm ready to quit! I don't know how much longer I can deal with this!!!

yah. sounds right. BlogHealthyDiet has it right. Check Doctor if it's continues. Mine lasted couple of days. Everytime you eat something greasy or what ever, it comes back.. haha. imagine that..

It helps you to confirm that the products are working..

I just started on the product and am experiencing slight headaches is this normaL

It could be a part of the detox process as your body is getting rid of toxins.

I became a distributor in January 2010, I faithfully used all the products and felt great for some time, in May I had my annual physical and was healthy. I started feeling tired around the end of May so I ordered the 21 Day Herbal Cleanse. I started the 21 Day cleanse the first week of June,
following all label instructions to the letter as I did with all my Herbalife products. I woke up June 20, 2010 with chills and a high fever of 104.8 and severe abdominal pain. My wife wanted me to go to the emergency room but I told her it was probobly a bug and would pass, it did not and after three days of excruciating pain I went to the hospital. My colon was almost completely clogged and ruptured, I had emergency surgery to remove 90% of my colon and appendix. I woke up with a colostomy bag and spent almost a week in the hospital. I spent three months recovering from surgery, and then I had the remaining six inches on either end of my colon reconnected. I quit using Herbalife products after my first surgery as the shakes would bind me up, no matter how much water I drank, I would not have any bowel movement for days. I contacted Herbalife and was asked what products I had been taking, I gave a list of all products and lot numbers and expressed concerns that labels should state that products may not be safe for everybody and I could no longer sell a product that I felt was unsafe, Heralife offered to repurchase most of my products. I had a very bad experience with Herbalife products and could not recommend them to anyone. While I cannot prove the Herbalife products caused my colon to clog and rupture, I can say for a fact that I had a colonoscopy 18 months earlier and my colon was healthy.

Hi,
I have nice experience with it..

My fiance and I just started the Herbalife program a few days ago. We drink the shakes twice a day and eat small meals in between then a healthy meal in the evening. We have been taking the supplements too. Although we have lost weight in just a week, we both feel sick almost every day since we started. Is this normal until our body adjusts to the products? Mostly nauseated and slightly shaky. I don't want to quit already but we hate the way it's made us feel this week. Any suggestions?

It may be normal as your body goes through the detoxification process. Add some protein powder to the shake if you aren't already doing that. Also drink lots of water throughout the day.

I notice that Formula 2 is made in China...I try to stay away from things made in China (they poison our dogs..their baby formula was harming their OWN children...etc.) How can I be sure that these vitamins are safe to take when I can't trust other edible items that are imported from China??? Has anyone had any side effects from these pills and why can't Herbalife get them manufactured in the USA, when Formulas 1 and 3 are made in the USA??

Hello,
I am using this product (Shakes) for the past 2 months and feel healthy and started reducing my weight. I saw a discussion in a popular TV Channel from INDIA which was telecast on July 2011) about the product and the DOCTOR"S concluded it will create a lot of side effects mainly on KIDNEY and it will spoil the KIDNEY FUNCTIONS. And after seeing that i was very scared and hesitate to take this product.
Could any one of you please suggest me / help me whether I can continue this product or not and it will help the HERBALIFE community.

Thanks in advance for your help...

Hi SMAbdulRehman,
Herbalife products are not medication, therefore, cannot create problems to our health.
Herbalife products are food to our cells. There's no risk at all to use Herbalife products.
Only people who already suffer kidney failures must go for doctor's advice before using the products. While using Herbalife, it is important to drink 1 litre water for every 25kgs of weight. Our body is normally made of 70 to 80 % of water, therefore, drinking enough water on a daily basis will definitely help. In fact, you don't need to be afraid about Herbalife. Being on Herbalife products for 5 years now, I need no medication now and have not been sick until now, not even a flu. Incredible.......

Thank you once again for your time...

Herbalife says this will work for everyone. I don't believe that and I am a distributor. Nothing works for everyone. Herbalife is a great product, but if does not work for you does that mean you were not trying very hard or were cheating? I don't think so.

As to the question about kidney problems... I started taking Herbalife August 2011. By October 2011 I was in the hospital in so much pain I was on Morphine. I had x-rays and a ct scan. The ct showed my kidneys were not working properly. Both had been effected. 50% of each kidney were not getting any blood. The doctors in my small town could not figure out what was causing this sudden decrease in fuction. I was only 21.. they told me they have never seen a case like this in such a young person with no prior kidney problems. I was refered to the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota. When I got there I saw a nephrologist(kidney dr) had more x-rays, ct's, and blood tests. My kidney fuction was worse. I was schedualed to have a kidney biopsy...A very painful proceedure. They morning of the biopsy I had a blood test. My kidneys were mending themselves! I saw the dr again. I didn't take any meds. I was an active healthy 21 yr old. After extensive testing these problems were linked back to Herbalife. If i stayed away from Herbalife my kidneys would be just fine. If not I would be put on dialysis within a few months and a possible kidney transplant within a yr. I would not recommend this product to anyone. A person should not have to go what I went through to be "healthy".

When I started using the shakes back in Jan 2012 my tummy was not a happy camper for the first few days. But that went away and I understood that I was getting 'detoxified' from my previous eating habits (which were not terrible, but not the best). Since then I've felt great and lost 26 lbs in total :D (I also get excellent service and GREAT deals/pricing from my distributor, message me if you are interested)
