Herbalife...has anyone used this or
sold this product? Dh and I are thinking about starting a home-based business and are checking this out. Just wanted some first hand input. Thanks
My friend just started selling it. I do not sell anything. I have bought a couple of things from my friend. I think their products are overpriced, but bought a couple of things just to "support" my friend in her efforts. They have been around for awhile, it seems like a good product they sell.
DH and I used this and sold some also several years back. I'm not sure if they even sell the ephedra-containing formula anymore, but I started to feel dependent on it, and I have high blood pressure, etc.....we stopped using it, and stopped selling it. The other formula (without ephedra) didn't seem to work as well (of course, because the stimulant caffeine/ephedra combination gave one LOTS more energy and, therefore, a tendency to burn more calories and get a lot done!) All I can suggest is to do your research thoroughly
Several couples in our church were selling it years ago, and they would try to push it on everyone. All I know about it is it's expensive. Like all those "pyramid" type sales schemes, there are a lot of people to be paid along the way, so the price has to be high. Do they sell mostly weight loss products? The ladies who used to sell it at church, used to wear buttons that said, "Lose weight now. Ask me how". And they were the biggest ladies in the church!
They sell a lot of weight loss stuff. My friend who sells it, raves about the weight loss stuff. She said her son and herself have lost over 20pds. BUT...its basically like slimfast. You have a shake for breakfast, one of their snacks, and another shake for lunch etc... just like slimfast. I did buy their protein bars which are like a chocolate fudge, they are yummy. I dont consider 14$ for a box of 14 a great deal. Again, just trying to support her. Ive tried the cookies and cream shake mix,and really dont care for it.
My mom was on it years ago. All i recall is it tasted so gross! It didn't do much for her.
