Question 1

herbal life good for weight management , i have lupus, fibro.

Accepted Answer

Herbalife: I'm not sure whether you're testifying that "herbal life" is good, or asking about it?  Herbalife is a multilevel marketing company that sells many different kinds of products, including some for "weight management."  it is not a program that provides personal accountability like weight watchers or tops. This part is needed for success in any program, because it engages you towards your goals.
