So when I realized we had NINE Herbalife Nutrition clubs in my area I figured this had to be more of a widespread problem then even I was aware of. I live in upstate New York where we tend to be late adopters to things like this. Okay, so why do I bring all of this up?! Well there has been a recent rash of nutrition shake shops popping up in the Albany area. For crying out loud their was evidence that Herbalife caused liver toxicity & death ( read here) due to heavy metals, toxic compounds, bacterial contaminants and psychotropic agents, YIKES! Herbalife Nutrition Clubs This company is more or less a pyramid scheme and people are not losing financially but also health-wise. While I know documentaries can be incredibly one sided, what you find from talking to those in the biz and all over the internet is that it’s pretty much true. I’d recommend if you have 2 hours to dedicate to a Netflix documentary, that you watch Betting on Zero so you can familiarize yourself with Herbalife. It recommends for my nutrition plan to eat 1500 calories (for maintenance). These meal plans are atrocious and well under even what you need for weight loss. They even have meal plans that incorporate their shakes, bars and supplements. Herbalife is a MLM supplement company promoting health and weight loss products. The FTC was involved and was quoted saying “it’s virtually impossible to make money selling Herbalife products” ( read more here). I remember them getting in some kind of lawsuit back in 2017 where they had to pay back consultants because they were losing money and never made what they were promised. I remember hearing about Herbalife many moons ago. Herbalife still exists?!?! Yes, I couldn’t believe it either to be honest. by starting with Herbalife Nutrition Clubs. Today I’m going to cut the nutrition B.S. So I’ve been sitting on a topic for a few months now and think it’s finally time I break my silence. (Bachelor of Science) in Nutrition into full effect and break down the fads and everything in between in the nutrition space and hence the term “Cut the Nutrition B.S.” really speaks to me. That being said I figured I want to put my B.S. I also want to be a person that stands up for you in the nutrition space and calls out BS! when I see something that’s not right. I want to be the place you come when you have ANY questions on diet culture, brands, or humans giving out nutriiton advice. One thing I love doing is providing you with my real take on all things nutrition, fad diets, supplements, influencers, etc. So I’ve been focusing on my brand a lot lately and what I like to educate you on. That’s right these so called shake shops are nothing more than Herbalife Nutrition Clubs that are part of the larger MLM company. They are 100% trying to hide the fact that they are nothing but a front for Herbalife. They are promoting healthy shakes & teas with very vague information on their ingredients and contents of their shakes. Okay, so there is this new chain of shake shops popping up all around my area in Upstate New York.
