I still think we need a rep system.

Also, it would be nice if the OP EVER came back into the threads he started. I started a thread about belly fat in January. I check it often and have answered every question to date. Not everyone agreed with me in my thread, but I at least came back to discuss why I stated what I did.

But that would cut into his profits. Time spent in legitimate discourse is time that cannot be spent pushing Herbalife.

I love what Alan Aragon says about Herbalife:

I regularly get questions about this or that MLM product, whether it be Advocare, Herbalife, Visalus, Isagenix, or Whateverthehell. I am yet to come across a health/nutrition-related MLM company that doesn't economize production costs with sub-par nutritional formulations, especially the protein-containing products (for example, MLMs love to use soy as the first ingredient or fructose as the second ingredient). Adding insult to injury, these protein-based products cost at least double that of the leading non-MLM brands that actually use higher-quality protein formulations. To top it all off, these mediocre MLM products are hyped as the best things on the market, and of course they rely on the emotional triggers of zealous testimonials rather than the weight of the scientific evidence. So yeah, my opinion of MLM-based nutritional products is LOL (yes, let the hurt flow through your butt over that).

I'm genuinely curious about this so don't take this as an attack...

You post threads that lack any scientific backing.

http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/1281935-just-clearing-something-up

You say you are here to help people - how exactly when you won't even come back to a thread to answer anyone's questions?

Also if u want positivity and to live a butt hurt free life perhaps reconsider the internet

Not sure if you're referring to the person you quoted or to Marcus...

I am referring to op being butt hurt when responses are given to her controversial posts

*****The OP is male***** hope this helps. He also is a trainer and Herbalife Sales person. And this is probably the nicest thing I've said about this gentleman.

My heart sank. Really? Is this the kind of thing and impression that you want to give new members?
Everywhere you go in life there is something negative. I was hoping for something positive while being on such a tough journey for me.

This is exactly the kind of impression new members should get. We are a community that stands up for its members, new and old, and refuses to allow them to be taken in by scams and blatant lies while they are on their fitness journey.

Welcome to MFP.

However, this OP continuously spouts bad advice and misinformation and he should be told he's wrong. He shouldn't be spouting crap to people and pimping his products on his profile. He doesn't CARE that he spouts bad information either! He claims he's here to help yet he NEVER answers a question and he doesn't even check back on threads where he spouts this crap.

Would you rather this site be full of people like the OP, who is providing false information about nutrition and weight loss while trying to sell you a product?

So the community stands up against misinformation and to help/protect new members and this isn't positive?

There are 200+ active threads about fitness, nutrition, motivation and success on the boards right now. you join today and the first one you click on is titled "if you have nothing nice to say...."? You found what you were looking for, I guess. That's on you, not us.

Talk about best of a terrible situation. The league was going to either go to City or to LIverpool.

Welcome to MFP. I tend to think that "Seek and you shall find" holds true. Seek the good and that's what you'll find, focus on the bad and that's the only thing your eyes will register.

On this side of the pond, Liverpool is like the Yankees; an Crystal scoring 3 in 12 was well.....magical. I still have nightmares of QPR almost pulling the win the first time; and hanging is preferable since I can still twitch and bitc" until I reach room temperature

Is it safe to say hello now, Marcus? :P

That's what i'm thinking too. Not only finding this as the first post but defending someone who is blatantly breaking the rules of the site.
