What It's Like Being The Token Health Friend GIFs

When you make the shift to a healthier lifestyle or lose a few kilos, the floodgates open.  Everyone wants to know the secrets to your success, and a bunch of crazy questions are hurled your way.  If you're the token "healthy" friend in your family or friend group, you'll be able to relate.

 

"Is that food?"

Yes.  Quinoa, kombucha, kimchi, spirulina, and tempeh are all safe, edible, and yes, I'll say, delicious (gasp!).

 

"What do you eat every day?  What should I eat every day?"

More often than not, they're not thrilled by your answers — even if it works for you!  The next time this question is sent your way, save yourself some heartache, and direct your pal to our healthy recipes.

 

"Want to do this juice cleanse with me?"

All juice, all the time?  No thanks.  I keep my diet clean every day, so I don't need to go overboard with a liquid cleanse.

 

"WHAT are you doing with that pizza?!"

When friends see you take a bite of anything that isn't healthy, you think their heads are going to explode.  You work hard, and you're allowed to indulge!  You just wish you didn't have to explain yourself every time.

 

"Am I allowed soft drink?"

You're allowed to do anything you want!  But if you want to get healthy, clean up your diet, and start losing weight, laying off soft drink is probably a good idea.

 

"Will you make sure I go to the gym?"

I'd love to find a new gym buddy who is excited about exercise, but if you're going to try to constantly bail or b*tch and moan once we're actually at the gym, maybe this isn't the right fit.

 

"So I want to lose 10 kilos by next month ..."

No matter how many times you try to explain that sustainable weight loss takes time, it feels like your friends are always on the hunt for a quick fix or weird secret.  Hard work, dedication, and consistency are the keys to seeing the results you're after.

An extensive questionnaire generated responses from more than 200 U.S. Herbalife Independent Distributors about their weight-loss programs and results. They reported weight loss ranging from 4 pounds to 167 pounds and a reduced body mass index (BMI) of 1.5 points to 24.1 points, suggesting that consumption of Herbalife® products is associated with weight loss and improvement in BMI in those ranges.
