When I became an Herbalife Distributor, I wasn't expecting to use the products but my mentor told me to at least try that way when I was talking to customers, I had a personal experience with them. So here's a little of my background. I am a work at home mom of two babies, 17 months and 6 months. I gained over 120 pounds being pregnant back to back. I lost some weight after I gave birth to my youngest but I was stuck at 192 and couldn't lose anymore weight no matter what exercise I did or how I changed my diet. So I started looking for something to help me lose weight. I came across the Acai Berry Diet. It seemed good at first but then I started getting extremely drowsy if I didn't get at least 8 hours of sleep each night. That is almost impossible with the two babies. So I decided to go ahead and try the Herbalife Diet.

The very first day I started it, I noticed an immediate increase in energy. At one o'clock in the morning, I couldn't go to sleep and told my husband that I could actually go out and run. The next day, I made sure that I didn't take the herbal tea or total control at dinner that way I could actually sleep. I was happy with just having energy, then I noticed that I was starting to fit in pants that I hadn't been able to fit in since before I was pregnant with my youngest, Bellanova. So I had started losing inches my first two weeks on the products. During my third week, I lost 4 pounds, and I have continued losing inches and pounds since. Overall, I feel so much better. I don't feel run down like I used to and I can keep up with my children. I love the fact that I am slowly getting out of the 'overweight' range.

Herbalife products are natural which is something that I love. There is lots of green tea and things like that. There isn't extra sugar or preservatives that are not healthy for our diet. The Herbalife diet consists of two meals of Herbalife Protein Shakes (lots of different flavors) and one colorful meal each day. I am not much of a shake person but add in some fruit and make a smoothie and I'm all set. You can also add products like the multivitamin, herbal tea concentrate (which we all call 'rocket fuel for humans') which increases your energy and metabolism, cell activator which is a nutrient support formula, and total control (sometimes substituted with Snack defense for those that are hypoglycemic or diabetic) which boots metabolism and builds energy and alertness.

So yes I am a distributor, and now that I know the products work, it makes me work even harder within the company as I know that I can help people lose weight. Please be aware though that those that can not take herbal supplements due to medical conditions, should not take Herbalife and it is Herbal supplements.
