The Real Truth About Herbalife Nutrition
━
I was very hesitant to try Herbalife because of
the vast contrast of good and bad opinions spread across the internet. I was a
new mama trying to find something to pull me out of the baby blues and
Herbalife's business opportunity caught my eye. What started as a business
inquiry led to much more drastic change that I was not expecting.

What
is Herbalife Nutrition?
Herbalife Nutrition is a global,
multi-level marketing nutrition company that was started in 1980 by an
ambitious and kind hearted man named Mark Hughes. In order to provide the world’s best
nutritional products to assist in a wonderful variety of lifestyle goals,
Herbalife uses the Distributor Difference.
Becoming a
distributor gives you access to not only a discounted price on the product, but
also to make money distributing product as a coach. This is where the real
difference is being made because like minded people are linking arms to build
each other up.
The goals
Herbalife can help with are losing or maintaining weight, gaining healthy
weight or lean muscle, sports nutrition for endurance and pre/ post recovery, digestive
health, women’s and men’s health, preventative aging products, even skin and
hair care you guys.
I’ve come to
realize that 90% of the products that I buy daily could be replaced by
Herbalife Nutrition products for basically the same cost but with superior
quality. But that’s not why you’re here am I right?
You’re here for the deets about my experience with using the Herbalife Nutrition
products as someone that started out a total sceptic who claimed to be “too
broke” to try Herbalife.
Why
I tried Herbalife Nutrition.
I can remember lying in bed at night, depressed, googling “how to lose 50 pounds”, watching before and after weight
loss videos, even looking back at old photos of myself from when I was thinner
in high school.
I lived in a
horrible cycle of self-loathing, envy, temporary motivation, relapse, regret,
repeat. All day, every day. The postpartum hormones from my baby boy who is now
a little over one and a half now didn’t help with my horrible state of mind.
My mind wasn’t
the only unhealthy part though, so was my body. I have always been chubbier
because I’ve never taken into consideration the crap I fed my body and even
though I successfully lost weight in high school, I quickly fell back into my
old habits and gained all 50 pounds back plus more.
So, with the
combination of being over 200 pounds only a couple years after I told myself I’d
never weigh that much, recovering from a c-section, caring for my son without a
partner, and a history of depression and anxiety, I knew that this hole I was
in was only getting deeper and I had to do something to pull myself out of it.
I remember it was about mid 2018 and I had
noticed a friend of mine shared she was had started Herbalife Nutrition and
although she was getting great physical results and so were all of the amazing people
she mentioned, what caught my attention at first was that I had only seen her
posting as a distributor for a couple weeks or so and she had already given
herself a promotion in the company!
I sent her a
message and we facetimed. I was super shy and remember how awkward I felt
because I was not used to talking to people or trying new things. She sent me
the link to an “Herbalife Opportunity Meeting” and told me to hop on by a
certain time to learn more details.
I did just that
and I saw these vibrant, organized, positive people sharing these unreal
testimonies about how Herbalife changed their lives. They showed before and after
pictures and income stories that blew my mind. I knew during that call,
watching these energetic, loving individuals who are just ordinary like me doing
extra ordinary things and improving key areas of life, that I wanted to be a distributor.
How
much does Herbalife Nutrition Cost?
Now, let’s get
down to the real nitty gritty. The number one thing I hear from people about
Herbalife is “it’s too expensive”.
So, how much do
you have to pay to get started with Herbalife Nutrition? The answer is: it
depends. But! Approximately five to ten dollars per day, again, depending on
what products you use in your program or routine.
Prices vary according
to your goals and how serious you are about achieving them. For most, reaching
weight management goals means cutting out some foods you love to eat or not
eating out as much. Funny thing is, these are all habits that would save us
money too if we stay disciplined. *wink wink.
If you want to
lose 20 pounds then you would be eating five times per day, three meals and two
snacks. 2/3 of those meals will be supplemented by Herbalife’s Formula 1
Complete Healthy meal shake to achieve your goals. That means you’ll be
spending about 2/3 less money at the grocery store for yourself, on top of
saving what you would typically spend eating out. That money is what you use
for your program.
It’s no problem
unless you are intimidated by the idea of having no plan B and taking a confident
step toward being the person you know you’re capable and worthy of being. I
know sure as heck was.
I was also
broke, and I mean living off of ebt and unable to leave my house the last few
days of the month because I didn’t have gas after putting food in the fridge
and buying diapers and wipes broke. Somehow though, I had money to go through
the drive through if I wanted because we will all make a way to get what we
want or are “used to” no matter how broke we claim to be.
Herbalife is too
expensive if you treat it as an added expense, meaning you don’t commit to
replacing one or two of your meals and cutting out the unnecessary fast food
spending and therefore are spending extra on the product.
Sometimes all it
takes is just looking at your spending and deciding what you really want. I reevaluated
my priorities and was able to readjust my spending to make myself and my health
a priority above the habits that gave me instant gratification. At least this
is what I told myself as I tentatively bought my Business in a box in September
of 2019.
Does
Herbalife Nutrition really work?
When my business
package arrived, I had no idea what I was getting myself into. With zero
intentions of taking the nutrition program seriously, all my intentions were on
telling others about the product and being a health coach.
I weighed in at
215 pounds and was excited to find out I could eat every couple hours as long
as I had my shake for breakfast and one other meal because I was trying the OMAD
or “one meal a day” diet at that time and didn’t allow myself to eat until
evening time every day in hopes I would lose weight that way. Clearly it didn’t
work.
I did this two
shake a day thing and had Total Control for energy for about 5 days and decided
to step on the scale and see if there were any changes. I was still eating not
that great but “I did eat every couple hours like recommended to boost my
metabolism and I didn’t miss any shakes so if this Herbalife thing really works
like they claim maybe I’ll be little lighter” I thought to myself as I stepped
on the scale.
You’re never
going to believe it you guys I had lost TEN pounds in only five days. For
someone who didn’t care about the weight loss at all I got a real fire under my
behind when I saw the amazing progress I had made in such a short amount of
time.
“This is it!” I
thought to myself as I reminisced on all the times I researched for a solution
like this one to help me get back into shape. So, from that moment forward, I
believed in the product and I stayed disciplined with my program, with the
exception of slurpee – taki a couple times and midnight churro runs from del
taco as needed.
I got down to
155 in 6 months. It’s all a wonderfully productive and transformative haze to
look back on those months where I learned what my body is truly capable of when
giving it the nutrition it desired all along.
Yes, Herbalife
Nutrition does work. I would go as far as to say I don’t even understand how
people start their day without our shake and tea because I’m nearly lifeless
until I’ve had it each morning.
The main reason
I believe Herbalife works is because it simplifies all those steps you’ve got
to take to prep your meals or whatever it may be down so you can have quality
nutrients delivered to your home or on the go. It gives you a couple extra
minutes in your day to do what you want to do while ensuring you fuel your body
the way you deserve.
Do
I still use Herbalife Nutrition?
Yes, I do still
use Herbalife products every day. For breakfast, in my shower, throughout the
day for digestive and hormonal support and for my son’s breakfast too.
My new favorite
products are their digestive ones because I have all kinds of issues in my gut.
I am actually on the last few days of Herbalife’s 21-day detox and I have never
felt this good physically even after losing 65 pounds. It all starts with
digestion and I refused to believe that up until this point.
When I lost the
weight a lot of other health complications exposed themselves and I was pretty
tore up for a while with all the uncomfortable digestive complications and
these products have made me feel normal again.
I am very
grateful for this company not only for helping me get my body back but for
providing me with a tool to work from anywhere and help others experience a transformation
of their own in mind and body. I will be sharing more about the business opportunity
in the future.
The
REAL Truth about Herbalife Nutrition.
If you are
committed to yourself and your goals then you will reach them and Herbalife
will make it easier, more convenient. delicious, and affordable.
However, results
vary depending on the person and most importantly their consistency in using
the products daily. As with most things in life, if you aren’t persistent then
you won’t reach your goals, or you’ll take a heck of a lot longer to reach
them.
Same goes for
Herbalife. It works if you work it. The awesome part is, it’s really not that
tough to work it. You get to eat what you like and will learn moderation as you
go. With the nutrients you’re plugging in around what you eat your body will be
able to function at its optimum level.
The distributor
difference is all about keeping clients on the right track, motivated and
guided throughout their journey so that even when they feel like going back to
their old lifestyle choices they’re reminded why they started in the first
place and realize what they’re truly capable of. It can be the difference
between quitting and succeeding.
I am going to
say this hesitantly as to not offend anybody but also with utmost confidence
because I personally know and have seen so many people transform their bodies
with these products. If you have tried Herbalife and quit because you weren’t
getting results you desire, either your digestion needs to be addressed or you
weren’t following your program or coach’s instructions fully and honestly.
That’s okay!
There’s nothing wrong with that! That’s actually great news because it means
you’ve got another chance to try again and do it with a whole new intention of
adapting new lifestyle habits and feeling good in your body.
