    The shakes do taste good....HOWEVER do your homework first!
    Too much Soy can have adverse effects on women regarding your thyroid and hormones.
    Soy lechtin is in MOST whey protein powders to make it easy to mix. However, there isn't a whole lot of soy protien left over in lechtin.
    Plus, there are a TON of fillers

    My word...it's similar to high school in here. No one likes a salesman...we all get it. But really...all of someones friends jumping in to say how great and wonderful that person is...really is kinda silly. Come here with a valid argument about the original topic...not jumping to a grown mans defense. Either way there are valid opinions from people who have used said product, mixed reviews on whether it's good or wasnt good. To the OP you have your arsenal and can make a conscience decision about it, the only thing I can say to you is be happy with ehatever you choose, because in life the choices you make are for yoy and no one else. If it works wonderful, if not lesson learned right? Good luck to you and everyone else in their pursuits.

    Look.
    Low carb, low calorie, low fat HIGH protein and its not soy
    Its affordable, and you can get it shipped to you or go and buy it at the store itself.
    You can mix it in recipies for a boost, you can drink it mixed with water, milk etc...

    AND (here's the best part)
    No pushy sales scam. FTW!

    And I will apologize if I do come off as "upset" when I write again BBV but I've seen so many friends get suckered into the expense shakes in the past months it makes me so angry. And then they see how horrible they feel after a few months and boom the weight comes right back because they never changed their body composition, all they did was starve themselves on low value shakes and they regret it and wish they would have listened.

    If you really want a good protein based shake, get a high quality powder from your local store , put some fruit, yogurt and anything else you like and whip it up!

    Brett can defend his claims with valid arguments about the topic. He doesn't need his friends for that. Attack him personally, especially saying things that aren't true, and well....you'll get us, like it or not.

    what protein powder are you using that is high in carbs and calories? I ONLY ask, because mine only has 8g of carbs and 15g of protein with a total of 110 calories.

    i actucally have to keep both of those low if i want success. i know my body and i know what works.. that is why i am doing the plan i am doing.. (not following the body by vi meal plans etc) i am doing what is working for me rather than what works for everyone else.. that is the great part about being me.. and being allowed to do what i want

    that is full of carbs and calories..

    if this was one of my previous attempts to lose weight and money than i probably would've been first in line. but this my final lifetime journey to lose weight and get healthy i am doing it the right way with food, exercise, sweat and blood. (only if i lose grip and fall flat on the pavement) lol which i almost did at bootcamp this morning, darn gravel !!! lol

    doing it this way has surprisingly been easier and definitely has given much more satisfaction and pride for my accomplishments thus far.

    Where was there an untruth spoken of him?
    We are all entitled to our opinion and from my point of view, he was the one attacking.

    Attacking Body By Vi. Not you.

    That's the problem with you salespeople. You take it personally when someone doesn't like your magic drink. That's because you need to keep any negative reviews quiet, so you can make your mortgage payment.

    This site is not for you to push your drinks. Period. One of the best parts about MFP is that it's free. Stop trying to take advantage of people.

    funny thing just happened ... I googled BrettPGH and what do I see?
    A link which reads MFP's MEANEST!

    True story bro.
    [/quote]

    First he's not your bro and it's sad you stole that from the 90's please return it. Second, this is what I got when I googled Brett :

    Try again dear. I may use BBV as a supplement when I am on the go but I will agree with Brett that the proper answer to the inquiry that started this thread is the following: It is delicious, I would not recommend it, eat healthy, THE END!

    I was not attacking him, and if you noticed, my other post wasnt directed at anyone. I do not know Brett, and cannot base anything from his posts here besides he does not like to see people swindled,.nor does he like swindlers. My point was that I come back to see what's happened and a see lots of people jumping and saying "Brett is great!" or "He's an influence to us all". Not saying he's not an influence to his friends, glad that he is, very good....but that has nothing to do with the topic at hand.

    When someone posts that Googling my name brings up "MFP's Meanest" and nothing else I very much appreciate people who know me setting the record straight.

    If I come off as harsh it's because I'm trying to help people and prevent them from being swindled. Not sell them a damn thing. I'd like to see Ms. RedShoes make the same claim.

    Well...people take harshness as meanness...it happens, people get their feelings hurt, they cry they either move on or they don't. I respect people for their opinions regardless of whether I agree with them or not. But I don't understand having people coming in and 'setting the record straight'...maybe it's because I don't care what people think or have to say about me so much as long as I know and the people I know, know that it's all BS. Either way, I'm not trying to argue with you, just stating that I think it was a little "over board" with multiple friends coming in a "praising your greatness", and that phrase right there is used loosely and sarcastically since you can't hear it the way I'm saying in my head. (omfg...deja vu...nice...lol)

    I could easily argue "mortgage payment?" ... what's that?
    But I've chosen not to be arrogant and make this about my own personal financial situation and have focused more so about the product itself which you, once again, have no clue about (nor care to explore).
    I wasn't pushing the drinks ... I was merely providing my feedback to the OP's question to which you responded
    negatively EVERY SINGLE TIME.
    I really don't care how much support you have here ... I have support of my own. A positive network of support. People who can see things from both perspectives.

    Because it's the sales tactics I have a problem with. I'll gladly say BBV isn't "bad", just overpriced is all. It's the outrageous and unevaluated claims that drive me up a wall, along with the high pressure sales tactics.

    Had no one said "Message me privately for more info" I'd have never said a word. But they did, it's a violation of MFP rules and it's a way for her to lure people into a sales pitch. Why should I quietly let that happen? Why should these MLM products be given a free pass?

    If you do happen to grow another head, will that one actually have a brain in it?

    Just wondering. :flowerforyou:

    then you and i agree.. i dont like the high pressure sales.. i dont pressure people into it.. i dont talk to people and say buy buy buy and buy from me.. hell if you read through when that women made the comment i said that pissed me off.. shut up... if they want to get it.. they know someone and they will have it taken care of

    other than that.. it works for me
