I'm not a fan of vodka straight. How if you are talking of it in a Long Island Iced Tea, bring it over.

Heber sits on Herbalife's newly created scientific advisory board, a perch he accepted around the time the multilevel marketer made a $3 million donation to the Center for Human Nutrition at UCLA, where he is the director. Herbalife's money was well spent. The name of Heber's weight-loss plan and his book promote the company's signature product.

Michael Johnson, the new chief executive of Los Angeles-headquartered Herbalife, hopes associations like this will finally lend the firm some legitimacy. Johnson, who joined Herbalife last year, is the company's third boss since its founder, Mark Hughes, died of an overdose of antidepressant medication and alcohol in 2000. As the former president of Walt Disney International, Johnson, 49, knows a thing or two about the power of image--and of pixie dust. "Herbalife is ready for a second wind," he says.

Niteworks is made from L-arginine, an amino acid that helps produce nitric oxide. Like all of Herbalife's concoctions, Niteworks hasn't received a nod from the Food & Drug Administration--but it doesn't need one. Although medicines can be sold only after their safety and efficacy have been proved, dietary supplements, such as Niteworks, get a laissez-faire pass. Herbalife is careful to make no medical claims for Niteworks--but it can't control what its 1 million distributors say about it.

I think that about says it all. I don't make any medical claims since I have NO safety and efficacy tests to prove what I say. But hey, I don't know about the guy selling it to you.

Sorry, if you want to call it a "medicine", make it go thru the same hoops. I can't make something up that looks like a bicycle and call it a car.

A scam? ^^ There's your answer.

What ever happened to just using plain common sense when it comes to dietary issues.

I would think that over the past 20 years or more that there has been enough information on dietary facts related to the human body, that we should be able to simply let common sense if not basic public knowledge rule in eating right and maintain good dietary (as well as overall) health without the need for a daily hand full of some supplement or another.

i.e.:
You need certain levels of such things as fiber, vitamins, proteins etc.
(Most folks are smart enough to figure out how and where to get these from common grocery store items.)
You can not live a healthy life eating at McDs five nights a week.
(If anyone has not figured this out by now...

)
Eating foods that are proven to not be “healthy”, and then thinking that a daily handful of some supplement or a glass of some concoction is going to keep them healthy...

(Get real. I hate hearing idiots state that their bodies can handle all the hydrogenated crap they dump into it, so long as they take regiment of supplemented fiber, vitamins, etc.)

You want to loose weight:
Eat right and exercise.
(Ever notice that DAMN NEAR EVERY dietary supplement and/or loose weight supplement on the market states in the fine print something down the lines of: “When combined with proper diet and exercise.” ?? Get a clue.)

You want to feel good:
Eat right and exercise.

And NO. A hand full of any product like this is not any part of "eat right."

Yeah, I always wonder why people aren't all rich too.

WVOtoGO · #7 02-05-2009, 11:05 AM

Apples/Oranges

Maybe because not all people feel the need to be "rich". Not to mention, doing so takes a whole different mind set.

Everyone feels the need to eat.
And when they do so poorly, they run out thinking they can order some supplement to make them feel all better.

John Doe · #8 02-05-2009, 11:26 PM

Yep, what ever happened to good 'ole common sense?

Okay I’m sharing with you my own experience .. Actually I consume Herbalife every morning and night, means I replace both my meals and follow it strictly. I take 4 scoops of F1 and 2 scoops of F3 per shake with 400ml of water, which means, 8 F1 and 4 F3 per day. I lost 1kg for the first week. It's just that you must take your shakes well and no cheatings like snacking or eating in between your 3 main meal, breakfast, lunch, dinner. You will feel hungry as your eating style for your shake is not right, that's all.

I didn't feel hungry at all or have the intentions to cheat and eat when I am hungry. If at all I feel hungry, I eat fruits, that's all. It's just as simple as that. I lost weight with the normal products which you all consume too, the F1, F3 and teamix. I drink 1 litre of tea per day, means 3 to 4 servings per day (250ml per time). You also must remember that when you make your shake, if you add soya or anything to it, you are actually going to add in more calories and sugar into your meal. So try to avoid this kind of things in your diet

Anyway, it's just as simple as A-B-C.

Yes......it's the Amway of pills. I believe it's snake oil.

tonkovich · #13 04-08-2009, 12:32 AM

run - don't walk - far away. its a scam. and its bad for you. (too many stimulants, laxatives. and don't "fast". it lowers your setpoint.

wanna lose weight?

start exercising. every day. give up booze and dairy. and fried foods.

and don't look at a scale. you'll know if you're working it right.

figure six months to lose 20 lbs.

(was 220 - now 180. took one year. been steady for one year)

thats all. no more sermons.

And I'll bet you sell it too. How much for a pound of that stuff if I want to see it stuffed up you where the sun don't shine?

Friend? Say's who? Got a lot of nerve joining this forum so you can peddle your crap product. I think Aklim's right, why don't you try an Herbalife enema.
