  1. It’s a good product. I’ve been using it for about 6 months and I’ve lost about 20 pounds. My favorite flavor is Dutch Chocolate.

    ive been drinking herbalife for more than three years but had to stop after having health problems, its a good product,im not sure if my health problems were because of herbalife but i started getting pain in my stomach, i would reccomend it only for a couple of months. if you drink the product and dont watch what you eat after you can gain all the weight back. also drink more than 8 cups of water. if you have any questions just reply to this comment

    Also wanted to know if they are lactose or gluten free? Thanks!

    0009 Reply:

    yes there is some that is lactose free, herbalife is a good product even though it shows results your body gets use to it after a certain while and it is difficult to lose more weighht, it is also expensive, if you are planning to drink herbalife make sure you look at other reviews because it might cause some health problems

    It is safe for pregnancy but should not go for weight loss but can consume as an healthy drink… Weight loss during the pregnancy is not advisable….

    Nikki Reply:

    I’ve been using Herbalife products on and off for more than 10 years and have always loved the results. Most recently I’ve been doing the Formula 1 as my daily breakfast + salad at lunch & sensible dinner since 2005 and have managed to keep off more than 60 lbs. More so, this time around I’ve changed my eating habits as a whole (lifestyle change), which has already been beneficial to me as I am now pregnant and know ‘How’ to eat.

    However, I too have this question… while it’s full of nutrients and vitamins, what I’m worried about are the Aminogen ingredients (aspergillus niger and aspergillus oryzae), not to mention the licorice root (in vanilla, which I don’t use). I’ve read studies where licorice root can cause contraction and elevate estrogen levels. As for the Aminogen compounds, the only research I can find is on swine, which isn’t helpful. I feel at this point it may be better safe than sorry to stop my Formula 1.

    Don’t get me wrong… I’ll be right back on it once my bundle has is here!

    you don’t want to be on this while you are pregnant. You need more calories while pregnant, not less.

    hello Kaylynn,

    When you are pregnant you take formula 1 as an extra healthy nutritious drink. It gives you all the vitamins and nutrients that your body needs for the whole day. It will the pregnant lady the boost of energy she needs to go on with her day.

  4. Thanks for your question. This section is for reviews of Herbalife products only. However, to answer your question, even though it is not advisable for pregnant women to lose weight during pregnancy, the Herbalife nutrition products (including Formula 1 and Formula 2) as well as the targeted nutrition products are considered safe for use during pregnancy. The notice on the Formula 1 Nutritional Shake Mix label concerning pregnant and lactating women suggests that you also consult your physicians before using the products.

  5. It’s a great product having tremandous result

    [Reply]

  6. can i consume alcohol(i.e beer, whisky) after taking herballife formula 1 milkshake?

    [Reply]

  7. what are side effect of using Herbalife products. During the day other than having shakes two time and lunch in afternoon, can on have fruits/salad etc. If there is break in t he schedule will it give the results.

    [Reply]

  8. The program is design to address your nutritional needs. One to two meal replacement Nutritional Shakes will give your required nutritonal requirement. Fruit / Salad is also part of your Nutrional requirement. So long you follow the guidelines of healthy lifestyle there will be no change. So the focus is a healthly lifestyle. One shake a day mixed in fruit juice and fresh fruit is my daily breakfast. It became a lifestyle the Nutritional Meal Replacement.

    I love the Dutch Chocolate Protein Shake from Herbalife! I’m currently in a weightloss contest and I’ve been using the shake as directed for 3 weeks now. I’m down 10 pds and 5 inches! I use 100% almond milk instead of soy milk or water (it’s lactose free and soy free) I also add half a banana and 3 strawberries (and 1 tablespoon of strawberry yogurt) umm umm GREAT!

  16. Few known people have proved me that herbalife shakes are really effective for them in losing weight. Obviously they did lose weight which I envy so much because they can do more activities now. I want to try it and buy on this site, to save me from buying “imitations” from other users. Do you ship your products to the Philippines?

    [Reply]

    editor Reply:

    No. You need to buy from a distributor in the Philippines. Click this link and scroll down for Herbalife in the Philippines. http://bloghealthydiet.com/herbalife-offices-worldwide/

  17. I have been using the products here in Australia and they are SUPER expensive and the range is limited compared to US products. i have used the French Vanilla shake which i didn’t like but i really like the Dutch Chocolate. I have just ordered the Cafe Latte shake which i can’t wait to use. I use the shakes for weight management and have them on top of my meals rather than as a replacement.

    2)Can Diabetic Use Formula2 Multivitamin tablets because it has licorice root

    3)can Diabetic use Activated Fiber Tablets because it has Cellulose and Dextrose

    [Reply]

  28. hi, mr. ramesh, Diabetic can use herbalife f1, f2 (1-1-1), (if they have good budget) fiber(1-1-1) and alo(1-0-1) in the initial stage and after 6 months can use cell activator and cell-u-loss. i have people with diabetes, bp, skin allergy, kidney dialysis, thyroid and many ailments. Let us not work as doctors / researchers, we have to use the product to get results. as many doctors got fabulous results why can’t we. f1, f2, f3, alo, fiber no need to ask anybody. just drink the shake and gulp the tablets. ALL THE BEST. HAPPY, HEALHY LIVING.

  31. Hi Jack, Good Morning, I don’t know which country u live in. I am using Herbalife last 7 + years and live in India. For some people first 90 days there will be fluctuations. You may gain weight or your current weight may not change. Sometimes, weight may increase due to our lifestyle {untimely food, junk food, skipping breakfast/lunch/dinner). So don’t worry. Just consult the person who gave HERBALIFE Cellular Nutrition for further details. ALL THE BEST, HEALTHY LIVING.

    Hi Elizabeth,

    I have started taking Herbalife from 1st week of march and lost around 9kg (20 lbs) so it is working for me. The good result is because I am monitoring my calories, fat and have replaces my breakfast and dinner with Herbalife and some fruits.

    I do take Herbalife Aloe and Herbal tea daily.

    You may first plan for one month only and see if it works for you.

    All the best!
