Herbalife is not medicine.

It is a very unethical group of pyramid scheme marketers.

Hi there, the product you mentioned is just one of many MANY products that make claims to help people lose weight but they don't work over the long term and they can even be harmful. The only thing that works is a modified diet (I have had good luck with high protein, restricted carb) and increased aerobic exercise (just move your body!). Gastric bypass surgery can work for very extreme cases if the person is willing to completely change their lifestyle. Good luck!

Herbalife is not a medicine.
It is a plan that includes shakes and suppliments. Like other plans similar to it, it works for some but not others. I have seen people be very successful on it and others where it didn't do anything. Your sister should get some assistance on how she can change her lifestyle to improve her eating habits and to help her to excercise. Eating healthier and excercising will result in long term health benefits. Plans such as herbalife will not work for the long run unless a person plans on making changes like I mentioned earlier.

So that mean it is safe to take Herbalife.And what the tutorial of Herbalife said is true.Yes,as all of you said the best way to lose weight is changing her lifestyle.I think it's tough for my sister.Cos the meal she have is 3 times of mine(Remember,I 'm a teenager guy).Her body is not big but giant.Terrible!!For her,I think lose weight first and change to a good lifestyle.I have another question,that is "Can Herbalife be taken all the time to keep weight,is it harmful to do like this?"
