The chat is a very important part of the program.

Of course, you can always contact me directly, but the chats are a huge resource for you that makes the Herbalife experience even better.
17. I already have my own protein from before, can I just use that one?
We can’t vouch for the quality of any other products and we can’t guarantee that you will get the same results if you are mixing other products with Herbalife. Our products are made of the best quality and tested. There are many random protein powders out there but me and our clients have gotten incredible results with this amazing nutrition so I can only personally guarantee results if you follow this program correctly.
18. I don’t want to take before pictures.
I know how hard it is to take before pictures; But the truth is sometimes the scale will reflect your progress and sometimes it won’t. The best way to track your progress is to SEE how your clothes are fitting and to compare pictures. TRUST ME! If you follow this program, you will never look the way you do right now again and you will look back at these pictures and feel super proud of yourself and how far you’ve come.
19. How do I take the before pictures?
For Women: Take them preferably in a sports bra or bathing suit and shorts but you can also wear a tight tank top and shorts.
For Men: Take them with shorts and no shirt. Save that outfit so you can take progress pics later on in the same clothes!!
Remember: The pictures need to be in good lighting and not as selfie. Have someone take the pics for you or prop your camera/phone and then set a timer and take them yourselves.
Take pictures from the front, side and back. I’ll send you a sample!!
20. Are there any soy free products?
Formula 1 Alternative Proteins and other products like tablets, tea, and aloe.

It is not necessary to workout. We encourage working out to accelerate your results and it is great for your overall health. It’s 80% nutrition, 20% fitness, and 100% dedication and mindset.
22. Do Herbalife products have any side effects?
Herbalife is just nutrition, not medication. The only side effect that I could think of is feeling great after getting awesome results!
23. Can someone with (any medical condition) take the products?
Anyone with ANY condition should consult with their doctor.
24. Which products do I have to avoid while pregnant or breastfeeding?
**Totally avoid:
Total Control, Prolessa Duo, Lift Off, 21 Day Cleanse, Prepare (from 24 line), Niteworks.
•Always consult your doctor•
25. Have you had anyone allergic or lactose intolerant!?
***Personal Experience with Lactose intolerants or Allergic to lactose:
The team members we've had that are lactose intolerant and/or allergic to lactose they've used all of the products and don’t get any reactions. Remember, the regular Formula 1 are soy based which is from plant not milk; and the sport line (Herbalife 24) is whey based meaning from milk. Now the source is so pure and high quality that compare to a glass of milk that has 13 grams ours has 1 gram. It will a personal decision to make but people with any health condition we refer them to ask their doctor or specialist.
26. Are our products FDA approved?
Supplement don't get tested by the FDA. The FDA only tests foods not supplements but we do have the best scientist backing our products up and one of them was actually the director of the FDA before working for HERBALİFE now: so if our products did have to go through fda they would pass with flying colors. Not to mention that we have now linked up with the American Red Cross and after donating blood every person in the US will be given an HERBALİFE protein bar instead of some unhealthy crackers or cookies. You have nothing to worry about Herbalife is absolutely the best quality products.
