Considering that even a lazy Pubmed search for the term weight loss yields 84,133 published articles

If you have even a passing affiliation sixt europe car rental co with the fitness and health industry, you ve, no doubt, come across sixt europe car rental co a number of individuals (both fitness professionals and lay people alike) promoting ViSalus products or the Body-By-Vi challenge .
For those of you who haven t heard of ViSalus yet (and I m guessing that is possibly only 4 people in North America), ViSalus is a multi-level marketing (MLM) company promoting a line of supplements as part of a 90-day weight loss challenge.
The essence of the program is as follows: users purchase one of five ViSalus weight sixt europe car rental co loss supplement kits available ( ranging from $49-$299/month ) as part of a transformation challenge and at the end of the 90 days, those with the most impressive transformations are eligible to win huge prizes.
Now before I address ViSalus products, to be fair I should applaud ViSalus for attempting to inject some excitement among the lay public into the very real problem sixt europe car rental co of how to motivate North Americans to address our growing obesity epidemic.  If dangling the chance to win  a trip, photoshoot or gift card  motivates someone to drop body fat, then by all means continue doing so!
One of the biggest red flags that should immediately jump out at fitness professionals deciding whether or not to promote ViSalus comes from the ViSalus website itself. When you visit the ViSalus website, you ll discover that roughly 80% of their site deals more with trying to recruit you to become a ViSalus sales rep, instead of actually discussing their product.
Now call me old-fashioned, but when the #1 objective of any company s promotional material is aimed at recruiting new salespeople and not actually highlighting sixt europe car rental co the benefits of their product or outlining why their product is superior to that of their competitors, this is pretty much a dead giveaway you are dealing with an inferior quality product.
sixt europe car rental co I believe every company is entitled to recruit salespeople or ambassadors for their brand. I m also more than happy to recommend products or services to my clients sixt europe car rental co (whether or not I receive an affiliate commission for doing so), as long as the product I m recommending is in my client s best interest.
However, judging from the number of BMW reward photos featuring ViSalus salespeople populating my Facebook feed (many) compared to the number of awesome Body-by-Vi transformation photos sixt europe car rental co (zero), it seems to me that the major benefits of this product DO NOT come from actually using it yourself.
For a company calling itself ViSalus-Sciences, I was amazed at how difficult it was to locate any information on their website concerning the scientific benefits of their products. However, after an exhaustive search I eventually stumbled across the white paper section on their website, which contains sixt europe car rental co some information.
Normally, the term white paper is used to denote an authoritative paper issued by an organization. So, one might expect this section to contain a number of great summary sixt europe car rental co papers about the impressive sixt europe car rental co weight loss benefits of their products or at least the weight loss benefits of the ingredients contained within sixt europe car rental co their products.
Of course, expecting a supplement company to actually provide concrete science in support of their products is probably as wise as expecting great success from your efforts at teaching your pet pot-bellied pig to fly.
Maybe I was mistaken with the point of the Body-by-Vi challenge; I thought it was supposed to be about weight loss. I didn t realize the real purpose of spending hundreds of dollars a month on supplements was to markedly improve your hearing insert eye roll .
Considering that even a lazy Pubmed search for the term weight loss yields 84,133 published articles, how is it even possible that Visalus research team couldn t locate even one article that links any of the ingredients used in their products to weight loss.
So this leads me to question: do those fitness professionals recommending ViSalus not know that ViSalus is marketing an inferior quality product for premium prices? Or do these fitness professionals not care  about the quality of the ViSalus products and are simply interested in padding their own wallets at the expense sixt europe car rental co of their clients sixt europe car rental co well-being ($299/month for supplements are you freakin kidding me?!?!)
So, Thursday, I will be back with a critical look at the ingredients of ViSalus shakes (something the ViSalus research team apparently couldn t be bothered with) and see if we can t build a much more effective product for our clients at a fraction of the cost.
Too bad you did not join when you wrote this article. By now, you would have earned considerably more income, helped considerably more people, and really made a difference in your community. Haters will be haters, and the more successful others are at something, the more the haters will search to find the bad in it. Every good thing that has happened in the past had haters telling them it was wrong. Good thing there are those that do not listen and move forward sixt europe car rental co anyways. I love being at the top of my health and income levels . I used to be down there with you.
As a health care professional, I am leary of any weight loss product that fits all !! Simple pleasures sixt europe car rental co of believing the hype in a product without researching the evidence sixt europe car rental co based research is probably affecting your overall health more than your new figure People believe what they read on a website and are desperate to find a quick answer. Changing your eating habits and exercise habits and learning about food in general i.e. weight watchers education sixt europe car rental co .is so much healthier and life long than having a shake that you are dependent on for weight sixt europe car rental co loss. I suggest anyone going onto any diet out there check your blood levels first during and after your trials and make sure you are followed closely by a physician.
You are 100% inaccurate my friend! If anyone sixt europe car rental co would like to know the TRUTH behind ViSalus Project 10, please don t hesitate to TX me! There are many ppl who do not like to see others success therefor bash at ever oportunity! I can share with you how Vi has had an incredible impact on my life! Take it from someone who s actually involved with the product rather than someone who is simply stating what he believes it to be! My cell number is 5198421948. sixt europe car rental co Take care the best of luck on all of your personal journeys!
I have been using Body by vi for 3 month and was very happy with my weight loss until my chem. 20 test results. I have Rheumatoid Arthritis and visit my doctor every 6 months. Today, my triglyceride level was 565 instead of the normal 124. I explained about the new diet and surprise SOY can affect your body ability to digest good nutrients. I would suggest you get a chem. 20 before and after because this may happen to you. The product did make me lose weight and may not affect your triglyceride the same. Better safe than sorry.
We are loving The Vi Shakes over here in the UK. At what point did any of you actually say .This product doesn t work? Well that s the end of that chat! My best friend sixt europe car rental co just lost just over 22 LB in 2 week after trying every other Avenue. So to sum this up, go spend your very obvious boring sixt europe car rental co and unfulfilled nothing day bitching sixt europe car rental co about something that really doesn t work, like most of you probably , why the rest of us take out hats off to the Vi team for creating these amazing tasting products that really do work. FACT! PS GET A LIFE! Must dash Ii have to make a quick delicious shake before I take out this little hottie for dinner in my new BMW (Supplied by Visalus of course).
Although ViSalus won t admit it publicly, I can t help but think that Visalus is paying Hulk Hogan to endorse the product, in addition to being a promoter. They hope people are stupid enough to think if Hulk Hogan is using the product, it must be good; I simply have to get this and it will change my life . I saw a video where Hogan was on one of those daytime news shows and he states that his Niece introduced him to Visalus, yet he had an 11 hour meetting with Nick Sanicola (one of ViSalus big-wigs), which was only supposed to be a 1-hour meeting. sixt europe car rental co Why meet with Nick Sarnicola at all? Why didn t Hogan just sign up for Visalus under his Niece and be done with it? Bottom line, Hogan needs the $$$ since he s paying for his high-profile divorce and he wants to maintain his lifesyle that he s accustomed to. Why else have we also seen Hogan on TV as a co-host for American Gladiators and commercials for Rent-A-Centre? Let s not forget his book deal, as well. Think about it people! sixt europe car rental co Bottom line, you don t need to give a company money to lose weight. Make healthier eating choices and start moving! People promoting ViSalus will tell you whatever you want to hear to get you to sign up. Why? Not because they really care about you and your health; they need you to sign up and buy the product so that they can maintain their rank in ViSalus to keep earninmg weekly cheques and/or get their BMW car payment paid for, otherwise they re on the hook for it. Just my 2 cents.
I am so happy I read this, in no offense to the Visalus rep that tried to recruit me (Mainly cause he s at least nice enough to give me the choice to research it..) but to the company itself, here s one finger up I m lactose intolerant, a broke author who s waiting to publish her first book someone in New Zealand who s originally from the USA that knows HEALTHY EATING is better than wasting cash on something. Supplements are OK if they are SCIENTIFICALLY PROVEN Lose weight slowly, keep it off. Lose weight quickly, damage your internal organs, ruin your internals.. and now that I see Hulk Hogan, I want to damage my internal organs for even THINKING OF IT.
Real food. Why do people want to ingest a created weight loss powder. We have REAL foods to eat. And they re delicious. We can create shakes and smoothies with, again, REAL foods foods without soy and chemicals.
Thank you for the articles on Visalus, I greatly appreciate it. Recently, sixt europe car rental co I was attacked when I started asking about dou
