Hello everyone!

I was curious if anyone out there has used body by vi - visalus before? I would just like to hear feedback and personal opinions from those who have tried them. From what I have heard from some and from what I have read about them I'm very interested.

Let me know! Happy fitness everyone!

I use it off and on. When I first got it I used it faithfully for a week and lost about 5lbs. I am not a huge fan of the way it taste. There are plenty of recipes online and on Pinterest.

It's an expensive meal replacement. Using meal replacements doesn't help one with learning food portion control, which is usually why weight regain happens in about 90% of the people who use it to lose weight then stop later. Not trying to be negative about it, just giving you objective opinion because I've seen these type of programs (Shakeology, Herbalife, etc.) many times over and as mentioned 90% of the time, people regain since it's a liquid diet.

I've had friends use it and try to rope me into using it. You are better off making up your own smoothies with quality ingredients and protein powder as an enhancement to a balanced diet. I do a smoothie in the morning, because I'm not a big breakfast eater, but I follow it up with a mid morning snack. Anything that is liquid meal replacement is dangerous for me because it doesn't help me change my portion control or choices...

I used it 88 days and then i stopped, it was a miracle worker helped me drop the lbs only in my stomach and face :O nonetheless like everything else when i stopped guess what the weight came RIGHT back in places that u can never imagine i now have more back fat then ive EVER had in my entire 29 years

like stated above
because this does not teach an over eater portion control or correct eating habits

do it naturally!!!!

proper eating ( dieting ) exercise and plenty of water you'll be fine

my uncle has used it he is on day 80 something and lost over 30 lbs.... I start my 90 day challenge tomorrow with the shakes .. I think they taste good. there is a lot of recipies on pinterest and on visalus website. my two other aunts have also lost a lot of weight using it and kept it off after they quit using it.

I have used it and my husband still uses it. It works for him. I switched to another shake at the advice of my trainer due to the high content of soy in the Body By Vi shakes. I switched to a protein shake to help avoid muscle breakdown after working out.

I went to a party of a friends where we sampled different recipes, but I really didn't care for it. My friend's sister and mom have lost weight on it though, I think the sis is up to 17 lbs in 2 - 2 & 1/2 months.

My daughter in law sells it. It's a miracle drink according to her which I can see since she's gone for 240 to 220 in about a year! She says it tastes like a cake mix. Who drinks cake mix to know that? She gave me a couple samples and I found it chemical tasting with a chalky texture plus 2 hours later I could have chewed my leg off I was so hungry. My breakfast of a yogurt and 2 eggs has fewer calories and actually makes me feel like I had breakfast.

As far as I can see it's an expensive smoothie that teaches you nothing about eating properly.

240-220 In a year? Thats really nothing

There is nothing amazing about those smoothies. you might as well go down the street and buy a protein tub and use that as a meal replacement

Avoid it, invest your money in something more worthwhile.
