Body by Vi??

A friend of mine is trying to sell me Body by Vi, I ordered one order just to support her, but I have done the Herbalife thing in the past and it didn't quite work out for me. Wondering if its worth trying or if I should pawn it off on someone else?
Any experience?

Someone at work has done this and was very sucsesfull. Another person just started it.
I'm curious too what others have to say!!0 -
Someone in my weight loss group does this, and she has very good results with it... I don't really know all the details, but I think she substitutes 2 meals a day with the shakes... that doesn't sound like it gives your body enough calories though..0

Also Curious, I have a friend who is always trying to get me to try, even though she know's that I am trying to do this the right way! Rather anoying I might add. Part of me wants to be like you and buy it just to satisfy her, but then there is always next month... how long am I going to have to buy to keep her happy0

I agree....and it would be the calorie deficit (which can be done eating real food) that has brought these great results, no?
They all sound like scams to me.0 -
I did it for 4 months and lost 35 lbs. Towards the end I wasn't eating enough for my workouts and it got expensive so I stopped. I also needed more protein so now I take BSN Synth-6 for extra protein and a meal replacement when I'm short on time. I get 54 servings for about $38 shipped, better than $49 for 30 servings.0

I am not worried about the calories intake. I talked to my Doctor and at the time I was doing a vegetable only cleans and getting about 600 calories per day. He said that is ok for me. The Herbalife shakes are at around 300 calories after you mix them, so I actually have more calories by taking the shake. Since I have fibromyalgia and am not able to exersize anywhere near a decent amount (I can barely mop my floor) then its better for me to reduce my calories.
I will let everyone know how it goes if I actually decide to drink them, :-)0 -

Your doctor told you that 600 cals/day is enough for you? That sounds... highly odd.0
