614.0. "Herbalife diet plan???" by TOOK::FAIRBANKS (Wynonna Wannabe) Sun Oct 14 1990 23:20

    
    Hi--
    
    My father is interested in some diet he saw on TV called "HerbalLife"
    (I may not have the spelling right).  
    
    Does anyone have any info on how I can order this diet, or does
    anyone happen to know of a dealer?  (If I understand correctly, this
    plan is marketed in a similar manner to Amway ...)
    
    Thanks -- (and could you PLEASE send mail with answers to this note,
    as I may not remember to log back in right away?)

	If it's HerbaLife, you'll be spending a lot of money for some
    herbs that are potent laxatives.

	Your father can expect to lose lots of weight, mostly water and
    solid waste, and hardly any fat at all (since it's nearly impossible
    to metabolize fat w/o sufficient water and laxatives take lots of
    water out of the body).

	If he's lucky, he won't develop any medical complications from
    being dehydrated on this diet, and if he's on it for less than a few
    months, he shouldn't develop a laxative dependence.

    I hear ya.  Nevertheless, my father is the stubborn type.  He's 
    interested in this diet.
    
    So, my request still stands ... anyone know how I can get hold of the
    stuff??

	There are lots of HerbaLife distributors around.

	Try looking for one in VAXCAT::HOLISTIC.

Hi,

It looks like this note has been dead for a while...

Has anyone recently tried HERBALIFE? I would like to try it, but after 
trying almost everything on the market (including MEDIFAST) I'm a little 
skeptical. I'm waiting to hear back from my doctor to see what he thinks 
of the plan, but didn't know if anyone out there had tried it....So far, 
all I really know for sure is that it's pretty expensive... 

Any info would be greatly appreciated!
