    Let me chime in on this.

    My father-in-law is into this and I have to say this is one of the lousiest diet scam (in terms of how much it is) that I've seen...

    Anyone who knows how to read labels and ingredients will see how absurt the stuff they sell are...

    The supplements are like 1/4 dose of what name-brand supplements supply (like GNC and other known US brands), yet they cost the same, if not more.

    I thought they were using some thermogenics or some sort of fat-burner in their bottles and bottles of supplements. When I checked on the label, they're all just VITAMINS and supplements like honey extract, royal jelly, etc...

    Their so called meal replacement shakes are made from really low quality ingredients, that if you compare them side by side with something off the shelf like MetRx, ISOPure or even lowly brand you get from the supermarket like SLIMFAST. The ingredients are so much better.

    BMI is USELESS. It's just as useless as the height-weight chart that most people use.

    Just because you're light, doesn't mean your thin, just because you're thin, doesn't mean you're not fat (% of fat vs % lean muscle).

    The only reason why Herbalife and such works in losing weight is because of CALORIC DEFICIT. Anytime you follow a caloric deficit diet, you'll lose weight. What you decide to include and exclude in your diet will ultimately dictate WHERE your weight loss is coming from (ideally, from fat, not muscle).

    (Note: LOSING WEIGHT IS DIFFERENT FROM LOSING FAT. Losing weight from water weight, muscle weight is not only insignificant, it's also unhealthy).

    Wasn't there a herbalife dealer who tried using the product (as per instruction on the labels) she was selling for a few months. I think she stopped using it herself because of certain negative effects on her own health.

    herbalife and other mlm products are "supplements" they should not be mistaken for a drug, however these products are good as the manufacturer claims to, yet we all have different system that we need to conform on a different products, so it depends on what supplements you take, try what your body needs

    hehe, bodybuilders will be considered obese using those BMI online calculators...
    getting body fat percentage by calipers or electronic scale is the best way to determine true BMI. lean muscle mass and water retention screws up most online BMI calculators...

    here's a nice body fat % calculator though i don't know if its accurate

    The U.S. Navy Circumference Method
    http://www.he.net/~zone/prothd2.html
    computes lean bodymass, body fat%, ideal weight and recommended protein intake

    READ... Learn... Before dumping your money on placebo products

    Cutedoc: Sorry to contradict a pro, but weight loss isn't dictated by supplements, it's dictated by diet. The most simple principle is consume less calories that you put out to lose weight. What you choose to leave out or take in from your diet will give you results you want. Not supplements.

    Supplements are used only to, well, supplement... If your diet is nutritionally complete, then it is not necessary with the exception of vitamins/minerals that your body can't naturally replicate or produce.

    The Biggest Loser Isn't Realistic
    Real Weight Loss Happens Slowly, or You'll Regain the Weight




    The Biggest Loser is the newest TV survivor show. For nine weeks, a dozen people are vying for the biggest weight loss -- huffing, puffing, starving, sweating, swearing. And yes, they're losing weight.


    The two teams' strategies: The low-key Blue Team has group therapy, eats six small meals daily, and exercises some. Just the opposite for the Red Team: They're exercising round-the-clock, sleeping little, eating little -- prodded by their drill-sergeant style trainer.


    Glass-fronted "temptation refrigerators," stocked with pizza, beer, cakes, pies, are dangerously close by. Can these 12 people resist their biggest temptations for $250,000? Yes, they can.


    First week, the Red Team won, losing 74 pounds total -- with one guy losing 20 pounds. Dana was voted off the Blue Team; her loss was only five pounds. (However, at 167 pounds, Dana started out less overweight than most contestants. Dana lost another 15 pounds later.)


    It's reality TV. But realistic? Are aggressive weight loss tactics a good or bad thing?


    Weight Loss Experts Weigh In


    "I don't believe in such a thing as jump-starting a weight loss plan, not even for motivational reasons," says Jody Wilkinson, MD, director of the Cooper Institute Center for Weight Management.


    "There are some people who respond very well to that approach, but only a very small minority," he tells WebMD. "For people who don't have much weight to lose -- who have some motivation and readiness -- an aggressive approach can work. But that's the exception rather than the rule."


    Weight loss is a three- to five-year process, says Wilkinson. "For lifestyle to change and physiology of the body to change, it truly is a long-term process. We recommend losing 1% of current body weight every week. Otherwise, body chemistry gets out of disturbance, and you lose only water weight and lean [muscle] tissue, which causes your metabolism to drop, making it even harder to lose weight."


    The human body is really not designed to lose weight, Wilkinson explains. "Storing energy, gaining weight, is the body's survival mechanism. In primitive times, people who could do that were the ones who survived. Anytime the body senses it's losing weight -- regardless of how overweight you are -- it doesn't want to lose weight and triggers all sorts of responses that resist weight loss."


    He applauds the program's efforts to show one thing -- that people need to change their ways if they're going to lose weight. "But even if we use very aggressive jump-start ways to lose weight -- but don't help people make better choices in lifestyle and diet -- it's not a solution. If those changes don't happen, it really doesn't matter how you go about losing weight, whether it's quick or slow. You will regain the weight."


    "I was horrified and disappointed," says Kathleen Zelman, MPH, RD/LD, director of nutrition for the WebMD Weight Loss Clinic. "The tactics they use are not realistic. It's just high drama, and it's very embarrassing, watching these fat people get weighed wearing skimpy clothing. ... It's a humiliating display of flesh."


    "What they're doing in this show is starving them, working them at a pace they cannot sustain," Zelman tells WebMD. "They'll be eating fried chicken later, after the show's over. We would have taught them to make oven-fried chicken. I'd stake my life on this: Whatever weight these people lose, they'll gain right back."


    The program's best offering: the group therapy session, says Zelman. "They brought up some very realistic emotional issues, the pain and agony of being overweight. That's the only positive I could find. A viewer can see themselves in that. It's hard being overweight."


    "Enlisting support of friends and family is very important," Wilkinson tells WebMD. "Most of us really don't understand how difficult it is to lose weight. We're really blinded to the discrimination that overweight people feel. I have to work fairly hard to maintain my weight. People say to the overweight person, 'If you did what I did, you wouldn't be overweight.' That's not true. They have to work twice as hard to lose and to maintain the weight loss."

    To those who used supplements to lose weight, you WILL gain it back really fast. As long as it's not your body that's actually burning the fat, you'll stop losing it as soon as you stop or as soon as your body gets used to the supplement's effects.

    Waste of money.
