Review of the Herbalife Diet

Information on the Herbalife diet.

The Herbalife diet does not have strict guidelines in terms of what to eat. It is monetarily motivated and that alone can make some people skeptical. For the most part, people will drink Herbalife shakes and take Herbalife pills. The diet has no set amount of time, as people are generally on the diet until they achieve their weight loss goals.

This is a very costly diet, as people can pay up to 4-5 dollars per day. A definite upside to this diet is that it allows you to eat whatever you want for dinner. This diet also has a high rate of customer satisfaction. But it is necessary to keep in mind that this diet is costly.

Like Metabolife®, Herbalife is one of the most successful sellers of diet and weight loss pills. In spite of the costs involved, many obese people use it because of the results.

All natural herbal diet pills have been proven to be effective for many consumers.

Herbalife diet constitute of protein drinks. These drinks are substitutes for two meals per day. You will also need to take multivitamins and herbal tablets. You are only allowed one meal a day, which should be sensible and balanced. For breakfast and lunch, you would have the Herbalife shake as well as 2 cell activator capsules and a multivitamin. For dinner, you will eat actual food and have 2 activator capsules and a multivitamin.

Are Herbalife® Diet Pills safe?

There are health issues surrounding Herbalife's diet pills and supplements. There is concern on the ingredient Ephedra (Ephedrine or Ma Huang), which is a common herb widely used by many companies in the manufacture of weight loss and bodybuilding supplements and taken by dieters throughout the world. A 2001 study published in the New England Journal of Medicine concluded that the herb could cause high BP, heart problems, stroke, seizures and death. The FDA has reports of 100 deaths among ephedra users. Hence, some Herbalife product sellers still post warnings such as:

Monitor your heart rate (pulse) and blood pressure when taking ephedra. If your heart rate seems faster than usual while resting or your BP is above normal, stop using the herb. Don't take ephedra with over-the-counter cold remedies or with other formulas containing ephedrine or pseudoephedrine. This will double your dose, raising the likelihood of side effects.

However, it seems Herbalife has stopped including ephedra in its weight loss supplements, which should remove the worries.
