Question:
Has anyone used herbalife to lose weight post-op?

I am post-op 5 years & have been taking herbalife shakes & teas since Sept. 1st but haven't had very much luck. On Oct 1st I started the 21-day cleanse program, I also started taking the florafiber pills.    — hrnnc01 (posted on October 9, 2009)

I do not have direct information about the Herbalife shakes and teas or the florafiber pills, HOWEVER I do know that the "Nutrisearch Comparitive Guide to Nutritional Supplements"(a compendium of over 1500 supleemental products available in the US and Canada) written by Lyle MacWilliams, MSc, FP., gives the Hebalife vitamin supplements only ONE out of FIVE stars. This means that their core products has ingredients that, even though they are in the product they aren't necessarily bioavailbe for your body's use. In other words they cannot be broken down and absorbed by your body. To me it seems reasonable that if this company's core product isn't what they claim it to be their other products might not be as good either. Do some due dilgence and obtain a copy of the book mentioned above, learn about how the supplement industry is basically unregulated. Then find and consume only phamacuitical grade supllements and meal replacements that your bady can use. The problem may not be you but the products that you are relying on to do what they claim they will. Best of luck to you, Pamela K. Ryan RNY 1999 (310lbs -133lbs) [email protected]
