Michaela? Is that you?
I'm betting it's Danny.
I think Danny and Michaela should be more careful on what sites they post. Posing fake questions on a weight loss website might rake in a customer or two, but a sarcastic post on O-Nerd making fun of crazy weight loss diets probably doesn't do much for business.
That's just it; on a site like this one, the whole act fits in well, but on Omninerd it all just sounds contrived.
I was just thinking—"You know, I've heard of Herbalife, but I actually have no idea what the heck it is, or anything." So; like a fool, because I really had more important things I should have been doing, I did some quick research. It seems like it's mainly a bunch of vitamins and minerals mixed with unpronounceables like 'fructooligasaccharides' and 'selenomethionine'. The most interesting thing about the whole product besides the fact that the founder died at age 44 from an apparent alcoholic binge mixed with antidepressant Doxepin, is it's upside down pyramid shaped scheme, er- business model in which the product is distributed. (Multi-Level Marketing anyone?)
So, speaking of diets, I'm imagining that Danny and Michaela are on the fat side of the pyramid, and wish to move themselves to the skinnier side of the pyramid by writing fake blog posts everywhere.

RE: Herbalife
Hi Mary,
From one mom to another I think I have a solution for you!! I want to lose 40 pounds, and I've lost 28 so far!!! I am feeling fantastic and have more energy than I did when I was in college. I went through three different Herbalife distributors until I found the person I felt really actually cared about me and helped me to start getting results. The bottom line was that I wanted to find somebody that could offer me good prices, but that could also check in with me to make sure I was doing ok.
I used to drive two hours to meet with my first distributor in West Haven, Connecticut. I even brought the girls with me a few times because I couldn't find a babysitter. Today my Herbalife coach does everything over the phone and it is much easier with my busy schedule. You can order Herbalife online on his website, you get the shakes a few days after with FedEx and then you can setup a telephone meeting once a week to make sure you are doing the program right.
His name is Danny Castello and his website is www.goshape.com. The number is (310) 928- 3835. He and his girlfriend Michaela actually do most of the coaching together as a team, but she has an Herbalife site as well: www.puresteps.com. He does most of the motivation on the call and gives you important facts regarding nutrition. He can be a bit tough but he really wants you to get results. She is a bit softer- so they make a good combination. Actually I also recommend joining his newsletter first so you can see the articles on nutrition. They also have videos so you can see who they are before actually calling them. Its nice because they actually use the products too. You can see on their websites.
Hope this helps!
Liz
