She's had a very up and down month and struggled to get into the routine of it.
Start Weight: 13 stone 1lb
Week 1: 12 stone 11lb's (4lb loss)
Week 2: 12 stone 9lb's (2lb loss)
Week 3: 12 stone 13lb's wisdom teeth/pms problems (4lb gain)
Week 4: 12 stone 10lb's (3lb loss)
She also reported very bad pms in the 3rd week which meant she went very off track and ate a lot of comfort food such as chocolate. She also had problems with her wisdom teeth.
In total over the 4 weeks on Herbalife Louise lost 5lb's
Louise had the following to say about her Herbalife experience:
'The Herbalife Plan is good, but I feel it would get boring after a while. I really started to miss/crave things like bread and sweets.'
'Although the shakes are quite heavy on your stomach, they do keep you very full so you don't feel like snacking.'
'The Multi Vitamins and Fibre Pills aren't the nicest tasting things in the world but they have kept my energy levels up.'
'The best thing about Herbalife is the support you get with it. The Coaches are great and will help guide you through the plan and give you advice when you need it.'
FOOTNOTE FROM MYSELF:
I feel that Louise could have had a greater loss on herbalife if she'd shown a bit more determination and willpower - Giving in a lot on week 3 with wisdom teeth and pms problems meant a 4lb gain. If she had really tried to just maintain/stay the same for that week she'd have lost 9lb's which would have been a great loss for the month.
Having previously used Herbalife myself I found that after a few weeks you got into a routine and once you'd braved the bread/carb/sweet cravings off for the first 1-2 weeks they went away almost entirely. I think that by giving into her cravings/having the bad week - it made the bread/sweet cravings worse.
It is a little hard to give an accurate review and score because of the bad week/problems with willpower. But the weeks Louise did stick to it worked and i'm going to base the score on those weeks.
The score for Herbalife is 9.5/10
It loses out on that final half a mark due to price (prices are not listed on their site and it makes it a bit difficult for those browsing/comparing diets) and the amount of pills that need to be taken which make it quite a fiddly diet to follow.
