Anyone using Body by Visalus?

Wow, is there an ad drive on for this or what? I've seen stupid amounts of posts in the last 2 days.

From what I've read it works buy cutting calories and 'as long as you exercise too', I'd rather my teeth got used and eat proper food for the same results.

scaaaaam

All promoters, consider yourself reported. Carry on.

I love how some people are ready to bash and report people and products. When people buy stuff from the store and share how great it worked for them, NO ONE bashes or reports them, we encourage the PERSON on how great it works for them. Think about what you say and do.

ViSalus, HerbaLife, or Shakeology or any other product, DO work, if you follow it with diet and exercise. Most of us have used protein shakes... it enhances our fat burning. These products help normal everyday people make 5-10% on the purchase instead of some Corporation Xmart making 90% profit. Research and Learn instead of bashing and report.

Lets respect and encourage each other.

Too bad advertising violates the MFP rules. Take it up with them. I'll keep reporting people that try to profit off the MFP population by posting bogus threads to reel people in and then bombard them with advertising materials. I don't care what you think! :flowerforyou:

I like, forexample, Optimum Nutrition products and that is fine to say because I make no money off them and such it is completely within forum rules. Promoting these types of products in the way being done so far on this thread is specifically contrary to the rules. You don't like it, take it up with the owners of this free service.

I actually have an ex best friend who sells the body by vi stuff. I know for a fact it is a HUGE scam as they photoshopped her to where she was "fat" and then her "new" skinny self. That girl was never "fat" she was always as skinny as a rail and athletic as all get out. Why would I trust a company and product that is even telling its sale people to lie and send out fake photographs of themselves (when all I have to do is go through her facebook photos, the time and date posted, year book photos etc, to show that she was never fat AT ALL)

I was under the impression that comments like 'add me or message me Id be more than happy to share more about it!', especially while singing the praises in quite such a vociferous manner was against the rules. The OP is not the issue, but one of the posts does do this.

So certain type of social spam are ok - positioning onself as a community member and then name dropping is perfectly fine. Never mind that these one-post wonders are doing product placement and as such are impacting the brand-value equity of MFP.

MFP is saying it's ok to try to promote your products as long as there isn't a link. OK.

I'd expect a little less of this type of under the radar promotion on a website that has a large advertising footprint above and to the right. As a former career professional in web marketing and strategy (among other things) it's a smelly practice and a) I will never buy any of these products from any of these companies b) there will come a point where this will drive users away or create competitor sites.

Thank you Scott for clarifying this to all the fine people who like to share results with whatever products they use. I guess every forum has it's "unofficial hall monitors"... I follow many sites it happens a lot. LOL XD

It's a pyramid scheme selling a product full of junk. And yes, I can back that statement with actual research and scientific fact.

Ah, all the posts popping up make sense now. :grumble:

pyrimid schems are illigel and they dont have product and they just partnered with biggest loser in addition Dr Oz has backed this.
