My First Step into the world of Herbalife

I have been into weight loss programs almost all my life. My size never remained the same. I have lost weight many times, gained it back, and again tried some other technique to loose... and it was an ongoing process.

Balanced nutrition never worked for me as I had not been able to stick to a proper veggie nutrition. I had been eating the staple food, prepared in less oil and more vegetables and still continued being overweight. As for crash diets, they crashed all over the place as soon as I started them each time.

And now, my new venture is Herbalife. It started with my brother introducing me into it as a weight loss program as well as business. But as I visited the local President's Team office, I realized that there was more to the weight loss program than enrolling and buying yourself a set of scales - The Support System.

The Nutrition Club, as the Herbalife-ites call the place, is a meeting place for the health conscious people. The walk and talk about how much weight they lost rather than the business itself and consider themselves as the advertisements to the products. "Business will come if you show better changes in your weight" is their motto. ...And then, the heavens open up to rain and pour the money.

So, I took up their one-week trial program. I had to pay Rs 945.00 for a week of "Breakfast". Every morning for the next 7 days, I used to have about half a liter of water in the morning instead of my usual coffee. I would leave my kids in their school and head off to the Nutrition Club for my Breakfast. I would have about 400 ml of the herbal tea and then have my Shake of Formula 1. I could try any flavour each day and also combination of the available flavours. This was applicable to the Formula 1 and also the herbal tea. The shake was a combination of Formula 1 and the Formula 3 protein powder. I was also instructed to consume at least four and a half liters of water each day.

I had a slight headache and felt a little irritable during the first two days. But my supervisor called me now and then and assured me that this was the only way of my body getting adapted to the new food. Sure enough this feeling lasted only for those two days and I started getting better and felt more energetic than ever. My hunger pangs and cravings for food reduced significantly.

The best part was that all my queries were answered very patiently and there was no pressure about doing business. I was encouraged to sign up only to avail the benefits of the Independent Distributor. I was told that if I was keen on business I should concentrate on buying products in bulk and would get all kinds of support including selling the products that I replace, to customers who buy directly from their center. Otherwise, I could just be satisfied in using the products for my health and nutrition.

So, here I am writing about myself and hoping that I too, will join the millions of people who have lost weight and gained Health, Wealth and Happiness.
