Total Control is designed to help with hunger, reduced energy levels and impaired digestion. It helps boost weight loss and improves metabolism with a blend of green tea, yerba maté, cacao and 11 other powerful herbs. Total Control is an ephedra-free and citrus aurantium-free formula that includes thermogenic properties that work at the cellular level to help with weight loss.
Yerba Mate
Green tea, which originates in China, is believed to have many health benefits. Recently, it has been the focus of many scientific and medical studies to determine the extent of its health benefits. There is evidence to suggest that regular green tea drinkers have lower chances of heart disease and of developing certain types of cancer. Green tea is likely included in this weight loss product because it is thought to induce thermogenesis which stimulating fat oxidation.
Yerba Mate, one of the key ingredients of Herbalife Total Control, is a species of holly from South America. Studies of mate have shown evidence that the mate xanthine cocktail is different from other plants containing caffeine. Most significantly Yerba Mate caffeine effects muscle tissue, as opposed to most caffeines which effect the central nervous system. Yerba Mate has been shown to have a relaxing effect on smooth muscle tissue, and a stimulating effect on myocardial (heart) tissue.

Total control, in my opinion, is one of the best products Herbalife offers, it raises you metabolism and controls your appetite. It is a supplement, not a drug, so you do not need to worry about drug interactions. AND IT WORKS GREAT!!! (also, does not make you feel jittery)
Personally, I can’t go a day without it. I am in the “maintain” stage of my Herbalife life and I ran out and had to weight a couple of days for a delivery, I could tell the difference. As a stay at home dad…I need all the energy I can get!! Great product
I like the orginal Total Control. This new formula doesn’t work at all. I gainted 10 pounds on this formula. I wish they would stop changing the formulas so many times.
The total control does not work. The best product Herbalife had was taken away the green and beige pills. I lost twenty pounds in college from Herbalife and had not had success since they took away the green and beige the products are not the same. Any suggestions for someone that is familar with the green and beige pills that has had success with another supplement?
Kathy. I wish they would stop changing their products too. Green and beige are the best product they ever made. The new total control is awful. I gained weight from it too.
I lost a lot of weight on the green and beige pills and would like to get that formula. It was an awesome formula fore weight loss.

I miss the green and beige pills. I didnt gain on this but maintained my weight and it was very frustrating. They need to bring back the green and beige pills I lost 30lbs on those in college and because I changed my diet as well I kept off the weight. Im now trying to lose my pregnancy weight and am having a hard time doing so!!
I am a distributor, and have to say that I wish they would not have changed the Total Control, I lost 35 lbs, but seem to have plateaued with the new Total Control.
i lost 23 lbs in 3 weeks on the green and beige and now am going to try the new total control hope it works
Will you ever bring back the green & beige? There is nothing that works like they did!
happy I read these reviews before purchasing this product — decided not to
Dear Herbalife, Please bring back the green & beige pills. Your customers want it. Thanks.
I wish they would bring back the green and beige products they worked wonderful, and big results…
What change was made between the old Total Control vs. the new Total Control?
I used the original green and beige many long years ago and lost a boatload of weight as well. I have tried the new Total Control and didn’t have the quick results that the old tabs gave, but I still had good results. Unfortunately, I believe the old green and beige tabs were a part of the “Ephedra” phenomenon in the early 90’s. They worked but were NOT safe over the long term. The FDA banned the use of all ephedra based diet tabs. Yes, they worked great but at a great cost: your heart health. If you use the new formula, you will still feel great. You may not loose the weight so rapidly, but you be healthy and feel great if you follow the plan.
The green and beige pills (Thermogenics) will never come back. They were a DANGEROUS product that had very deadly results from a herb known as Ma Huang (Ephedra). It hung around for many years, even hit the mass market (Vitamin World, GNC), but inevitably, the FDA shut that type down. It was just too hazardous (reports of liver failure and drastic weight loss which caused illness and death). Its a shame, but Herbalife took the loss and decided to redefine itself as “Cellular” nutrition experts. The results are definitely slower, but way safer. And for losing 15 lbs in 15 days (and no, im not a chunky person, rather average!), its effective enough!
I have just began using Herbalife products on May 1, 2011, and I have to say they are awesome. I have lost 13lbs in 6 days and I have no side effects, sickness, jitters or anything like that. I will be a distributor and tell everyone about these products, because for someone who has looked everywhere and tried every diet known to man, I finally have hope. That is something I want to share with everyone, because it feels wonderful.
I previously used the green and beige pills and had great results, I was able to loose 31 lbs in 45 days, and now I just order the 90 tablets total control pills and based on Denise’s and Chris’s comments above, I hope I get the good results as well.
I’m looking at starting the Herbalife program. I am 145 lbs and want to lose 20. I am a college student though, and can’t spend a ton of money. I’m looking at getting the Formula 1 for sure. What else would be the best to buy for weight loss and overall health? I am fairly active, do martial arts and run, so protein is a must. Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated.
I used the green and beige pills way back when Herbalife offer them. I will say they work beautifully. I lost so much weight and felt great….for the first 2 months that is. On my third month on them…I became very sick. I was not aware of the Ephreda in the pills or the dangers of it. While it is awesome to loose the weight, I honestly don’t think future permanent health risks are worth the use. Personal opinion of course. I am purchasing “Total control” I hope this helps me.
Just got my first bottle of 90day Total Control on Monday. Today is Friday, Must say I feel the difference in alertness and appetite. Just hoping to SEE results like everybdy else did with the “green n beige” pill that I have no idea what it is. We shaaall see.
I have just now started to take HERBALIFE products. I retired from military two years ago and currently work for a company that keeps me on the road alot. I have found myself eating at C-stores and fastfood joints constantly, which has put a good 40-50 pounds on me.
When I was in the military I lifted regularly and had tried all kinds of stuff from Hard-core to Rippedfuel. Some of those had the Ephedra base in them. So anyway I will let you know how I fair with my 2-shakes, protien bars and in-between drinks, along with Total Control regime. I will take any advice on a good mix up of products.
I just bought advanced herbal life package will start on Tuesday after labor day
want to lose 80 to100 wish me luck Kim Mitchell
Hi Kim:
I just started today and need to lose 100 pounds. Keep me posted on your progress.

I am going to start on the herbalife next week. I need to lose 50 lbs! I pray it works.
I am going to start drinking Herbalife Products next week as well! I weigh 163 lbs. and plan on losing about 15-20 lbs. before Halloween! Herbalife really works if you don’t cheat, my mom lost 55 lbs in 7 months!
I will be starting Herbalife Formula 1 on Monday. I need to loose 15-20 lbs by December 4th. I got on here to read reviews about the Total control. I have mixed feelings about it. So please post your thoughts once you start it. Thanks
I just begin with the herbalife, I have one question, can I take the shake in the morning and at 12.oo a.m. and eat my food at 5 or 6 pm.
Hi everyone I wanted to say that I started on June 20, 2011. So far I lost 26 lbs till now.I use to weigh172 lbs .I drink two shakes one of them with prolessa duo along with tea to increase my metabolism and eat most of the time healthy or eat less of what ever I cook for the family or when going out to eat. I think I could loose more if I wouldn’t cheat once a week eating chocolate cake @ magnolia bakery and also I will try total control instead of prolessa . Also drink lots of water.Good luck!
Hi Emerita yes you can take it as you are asking I saw on the product booklet.
I used the green & beige products for 6 months and lost 80 lbs. I got off off them and gained 40 im getting back on the new total control.wish me luck.
I dunno, it seems nice that there’s something here to boost metabolism, but I read the label and it says to take total control 3 times daily. Each pill contains the same amount of caffeine as a cup of coffee. I don’t want to have to be reliant on taking so much caffeine each day, so I guess I’d rather slowly lose weight in a safer way. What do you guys think?
I’m a herbalife independent distributer and you guys need to get informed with the right ones because their is not only total control that will help you lose weight, their is prolessa duo and you need your shakes guys not only on the tablets you will lose weight the right way!! Here is my email if you guys need help weniki33@ gmail.com our snt questions
I am a distributor who has been on the program for 3 months. I have had great success. I hav lost 31lbs and off 3 of my 4 medications. It works, bu Total Control alone is not going to do it. Anyone interested in learning more, email me at edohl1353@hotmail.com
I had used herbalife in the pass and it worked. I have ordered the herbalife again, I am 170 lbs and I am looking foward to losing about 25 to 30 lbs. I am hoping this product will work for me agin.
