Those of you who follow me on Instagram and/or Facebook have undoubtedly seen my recent blasts for Herbalife products. Many have reached out to me within the past few days, looking for an explaination of products and how to get started themselves. Even more have simply asked for information, which I have realized can be a daunting task for a number or reasons. One, because there is SO MUCH information on these products, I just want to tell everyone EVERYTHING about them. Two, because all those who have inquired about Herbalife have done so via Facebook, Email or Text, which is my preferred method of communication and easiest for most. That, as you can imagine, becomes difficult at times, especially due to the aforementioned fact that I want to tell EVERYONE EVERYTHING ABOUT EVERYTHING AND YES YES YES PLEASE PURCHASE THESE PRODUCTS AND START FEELING BETTER BECAUSE IT'S AMAZINGGGG!!!
And so, at the request of a few loyal followers of this blog, this post will be dedicated to describing my Herbalife experience so far, hopefully answering any questions you may have along the way. Most importantly, if at the end of this post you are interested in starting your own program, I will be more than happy to assist you in ordering your products to get started ASAP.
I think the best way to attack this is to do a Q and A of some of the questions I have been asked over the past few days.
Q: How did you hear about/get started on Herbalife?
A: My Herbalife journey started a couple of months ago. I knew that we would be moving to the Dover area, and so I hit up Craigslist to start looking for work. In the Health/Fitness/Spa section, an add for "Wellness Coaches Wanted" struck me as intersting, and so I applied. I ended up in a small Health Club in Concord, NH, where I was introduced to Herbalife.
My guess is you can't throw a stone without hitting someone you know who has tried Herbalife. You definitely know someone who has heard about it. So why aren't more people doing it?
Like myself, at first, most people are skeptical. I figured I would order some products, give it a try, and see how it went. I signed up right then and there and waited anxiously for my starter kit in the mail. A few days later I had my products, and was instantly hooked.
Q: What do you like most about Herbalife?
A: For me, I love how easy it is to follow the program. Two shakes, two snacks, and one meal a day. I typically do my two shakes as breakfast and lunch, have a snack around 10:00am and 2:00pm, and then make a healthy meal for dinner. I'm not much of a breakfast person, so being able to blend up a shake or pop some powder and water into a shaker bottle and go is my best chance at eating a meal before noon. The eleven different flavors of Meal Replacement Shake, teas, protein bars, and countless other goodies Herbalife offers are definitely positives as well.
Q: What do you use?
A: I use the Formulas 1, 2 and 3, Protein Powder, the herbal tea, and mango aloe concentrate. I also purchase LiftOff and protein bars, for energy boosts and on-track snacking purposes.
Q: ... what the heck did you just say?
A: Here is where it gets tricky to do via text message, as you can imagine. So, if you're wondering what these products are and why they work, THIS SECTION IS FOR YOU!!!
Herbalife's basic idea is "Nutrition is as easy as 1, 2, 3!" which refers to their Formula 1 Healthy Meal Replacement, Formula 2 Multivitamin, and Formula 3 Cell Activator.
Formula 1: The powder. Throw this stuff into your smoothies that you already make for an added protein boost. Blend it up with some ice and water on it's own, because it tastes delicious. Seriously. Like cake. Or candy. And there are literally HUNDREDS of combinations and ways to prepare your shake so you never get bored. Chocolate covered cherries? No problem. Peanut butter pie? Bring it on! Pistachio, which happens to be The Mister's favorite flavor, strawberry cheesecake, blueberry cheesecake, orange creamsicle, grasshopper pie, key lime - the list is literally endless. And everything I just listed is NOT the actual powder flavor. Those are all just incredible creations that Herbalifers have come up with over the years.
Formula 1 is best when combined with Herbalife's Protein Powder, which comes in either Chocolate or Vanilla. I know you're probably saying "why do you need to add more protein to something that is already packed with protein?" You don't <i>need</i> it, but it aids in easy blending with just water in a shaker bottle, which is usually how I prepare my breakfast on the way out the door. It also gives you that extra boost of protein to help keep you full and satisfied until your first snack of the day. Because protein keeps you full. And helps you burn fat. And build lean muscle. And create general awesomeness and bad-assery all around.
Follow me so far? Great.
Formula 2: The vitamins. You take one three times a day with each meal you have (two shakes, one meal.) They are specifically formulated so each vitamin is only milligrams different from the next, as opposed to store-bought vitamins that can vary significantly. They give you 21 vitamins and nutrients, including folic acid, calcium, and Vitamin C.
Formula 3: The cell stuff. These little pills are taken at the same time as the vitamins, which makes it easy to remember for those of you who are as scatter-brained as I am. These guys wake up the mitochondrial membrane in your stomach to aid in complete absorption of nutrients you're pumping in there with the multi-vitamins, the shakes, and whatever else you decide to eat during the day.
Those are your basic baseline products. Still with me? Alright.
Herbal Tea and Aloe Concentrate: The herbal tea comes in original, lemon, raspberry and peach flavors. 1/2 teaspoon per 8 oz of water and you have a delicious, metabolism boosting beverage to sip on all day. Pair it with the aloe concentrate, in either original or mango flavored, and you have the "drink and shrink" combo that not only busts fat but aids proper digetstion. I put this healthy cocktail into my Nalgene bottle and drink it all day, or throw some fruit infused ice cubes into a glass and pour it over. You can add mint or basil, blend it up with ice to make a slushie, or make it into an energy-packed Tea Bomb with some LiftOff.
LiftOff: Herbalife's answer to energy drinks. One little tab dissolved in liquid gives you the energy of a big-name brand, high-octane energy drink without the heart palpatations, jitters, or crash afterwards. To quote The Mister on it's energy boost, "I feel like a squirrel in a coffee can." LiftOff comes in Lemon-Lime (tastes JUST LIKE Mountain Dew), Ignite-Me Orange (Orange Soda), Lemon-Cola Kick (Lemon Coke), and Tropical Fruit (Hawaiian Punch). It fizzes up, like Alka Seltzer, so it gives the illusion of carbonation, and is a great alternative for when you have a soda/caffeine craving and want to stay on track.
In addition to these products, Herbalife offers just about anything else you could every want. From protein bars and other weight loss products and supplements, to pre and post workout aids (Herbalife 24 Fitness Line), lotion, shampoo, soap, sleep aids, clothing, cups, shaker bottles - the list is almost endless. It's kind of crazy.
Q: Okay, so what should I order?
A: I always recommend the "quick start" option, which includes your choice of Formula 1 flavor, a bottle of Formula 2, a bottle of Formula 3, and a bottle of the Herbal Tea mix, also in your choice of flavor. That goes for $113.00. After that, I suggest you purchase a canister of Protein Powder, your choice of Chocolate or Vanilla, for $47.95, and a bottle or two of the Aloe Concentrate $29.80. So, for a grand total of $220.55, you have more than enough to begin your own journey.
Does that mean you need to order the extras? No. If you are more comfortable starting out with the "quick start" package only, that is completely fine. You can always add on the extras at a later date. Or, if you prefer, you can make your own program.
Q: How do I order?
A: In order to get the products, you have to go through a consultant. If you go to Herbalife.com, you can search for a consultant in your area. Or, if you prefer, you can order directly through me, as I am a consultant!
All you have to do is email me at brooke.crane89@gmail.com to get started. We can work together to put you on your own path to whatever it is you want to focus on through Herbalife as soon as possible.
Q: Is it worth the cost?
A: That is up to you. If you are like me, who has always struggled with weight, has a hard time staying on track, and wants to make a positive change that allows you to actually see results, then I say yes. Yes, it is absolutely worth the cost. Because really, what price can you put on your health?
As always, if there are additional questions, please do not hesitate to contact me. I am more than happy to answer anything I can to help put you at ease about starting a new program, as it can be intimidating. Or, for those of you who are skeptical of this entire idea, reach out. I was there, and now, I am proud to say that I lead an Herbalifestyle, and have not felt this good in a long, long time.
Hopefully, this was helpful for those of you interested. I hope you're as excited to get started as I am to show you the way!
Thanks for being interested, supportive, and inquisitive of this lifestyle change of mine. I really do appreciate it more than you will ever know. <3
