[QUOTE="suzybee, post: 216565, member: 27118"] I say well done to all of you that are taking control of your health in whatever way you choose to do it. I am a Herbalife convert from many years ago when we used to go out in the streets wearing badges with "Lose weight now ask me how" and actually sold the product as well as used very successfully. I did feel a bit headachey in the beginning and a lot of that is the lack of sugar that we have previously been used to having but yes the need to drink plenty of water is really important and I still now on a normal calorie controlled diet (yes I put loads back on eventually after becoming disabled and in a wheelchair)always try to drink at least 8 glasses of water or similar and that has a brilliant effect on the skin as well as it helps to stop it drying out as much as you are properly hydrating your body. I have not gone back on the Herbalife diet as I could not afford it this time and also felt I needed to find a way to live my life healthily and not as much diet but just control my intake and make trades if I had eaten something a bit off the normal range of choices. I fully and wholeheartedly agree with the people that are doing the medically supervised 600/800 cal diet to help with weight loss and the chance to rid themselves of diabetes though and wish in a way that I had done that at the beginning of my weight loss battle but in a way I probably did because not with supervision ( I know it was stupid) I started my weight loss regime for 2 months at 700/800 calories and used a calorie book from Collins and an accurate set of digital weighing scales to weigh and measure everything but made sure I included as much healthy food as possible which meant plenty of fruit and veg and low fat products but I always included carbs in balance too as without them I just get to feeling so sick.
