Anyone using Body by Visalus?

I am and I received rave reviews from my doctor just yesterday.0

Body by Vi has mediocre products and are NOT all natural. I know of a MUCH better product line, including a shake that was made with patented ingredients in conjunction with the USDA. NO other company has that. Pretty amazing. Let me know if you are interested.0

I started to use the shakes almost 3 years ago. I signed up to help a friend. With my personality, some people might think I would be pushy. I am not. I got the product and didn'tuse it. I had friends who used different supplements. I got out. This past spring, I found out that other friends were using and pushing the product. I did NOT sign up. I did use the meal replacement for 1 meal a day. Unfortunately, I got right headed and dizzy. I gave it up. It was too much of a shock for my body. I am trying to lose weight the old fashion way because I cannot live on shakes. I am just amazed how much it has taken off.0

Did you just threadjack a BBV thread to pimp a competing shake? And as a first post from a duplicate/disposable account no less.
I don't know whether to applaud you or suggest that I hope very horrible things happen to you.0 -

Umm it does work great................ I've been using it and anyone who asks about it, I will give them my personal positive experience with the product and the company as well. I haven't pushed any product on anyone, haven't signed anyone up, and not everyone who uses it pushes it on others........ Just saying.....
You've probably been hearing a lot about it cause, well, frankly it works..... Been there and doing it. Take opinions from people who have used it and come to your own conclusion.........:bigsmile:
And Um I DO SWEAT, workout as well........ so there

Well said Scott....I didnt feel it was advertising either....just because the original poster wanted feedback, doesnt mean that she is pushing to sell...she just needs support...isnt that what we are all here for???0

Just asking about it. I don't sell it, nor do I plan to. Good grief, can we not just have a discussion?0
-
That's exactly what we're all here for, I thought. Now I don't want to post anymore threads because there's too much negativity.
I understand that these types of products are not for everyone. Fine. You don't need to be rude about it. No one is claiming that this is "magic" or an easy fix by any means. I'm a busy single mom, and these shakes work well for my schedule, and my willpower. I happen to like the taste, and find them to be an easy, FILLING way to get my meals in. I still count calories and work out. I do not, by any means think this is an easy fix. There just isn't one. I talked to my doctor and two personal trainers before trying it, as I was skeptical. SKEPTICAL. Not rude.0 -

It was not the OPs post that was the issue, it was the vulture who sweeped in very shortly after the thread was started.0 -

Does said discussion involve you calling everyone that disagrees with you rude?0 -

Are you going to be drinking 2 of your daily meals forever? No? You will gain that **** back my friend.0

I tried it for about three weeks or so. I liked the vitamins, but I didn't see any weight loss from it.0

THIS THIS THIS THIS THIS THIS THIS THIS- PLEASE DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY!!!!!It's a pyramid scheme selling a product full of junk. And yes, I can back that statement with actual research and scientific fact.0 -
pyrimid schems are illigel and they dont have product and they just partnered with biggest loser in addition Dr Oz has backed this.
Ohhh well then, if Dr.Oz said it, it MUST be true!!!0 -
:laugh: very amusing post to read through.
Seriously though, the problem is that people think that the shakes "work". You would get the same results eating *gasp* REAL FOOD rather than drinking these stupid things. If you're only using them because you're too lazy to cook breakfast in the morning, then sure, go for it.
If you're using it for weight loss then it's really a huge waste of money. Buy some food, eat and enjoy. These shakes are nothing more than a filler for people who are too lazy to get in the kitchen and cook a meal.
So the fact that I already get up at 5am for my 75 minute commute to work in the morning, am not normally very hungry first thing and prefer to drink a quick shake for breakfast instead of making "real food", and choose to drink another shake at lunch at my desk because I use my lunch hour to work out instead of socialize and eat crap for lunch like most of the people I work with makes me LAZY?!? Give your head a shake lady. Stop judging people for choosing to do something different than what you do.
They're for convenience. Why would you choose to drink a shake rather than eat an actual balanced lunch? You don't have to 'eat crap' or socialize.
EXACTLY!!!
Seriously, go eat a sandwich if you like and leave me and my shakes alone. I dont have to justify anything to you. I enjoy them, it works for my lifestyle and thats all Ive ever stated. Nuff said.
Aren't we quickly feeling testy? go have a shake, maybe it will make you feel better.0 -

What I always wonder...
Body by Vi users.
If you were to cut back on your calories instead of replacing solid food with a liquid meal... don't you think you would have lost the same amount of weight?
What do you plan to do when you've reached your goal weight? Will you take the shake for the rest of your life? Will you have to replace solid foods with a shake forever?
How do you feel about the shady advertising techniques that this company uses? Gluten-free? PAH! They aren't. They really, really aren't. When I saw the ingredient list for this product it said: MAY CONTAIN WHEAT. That means it's not gluten-free. Which means they're lying in their advertising.
Are you comfortable supporting a company that outright lies like that? What else are they lying about? Don't you wonder about that? I know I do and that's why I won't touch them with a ten foot pole.0 -

All promoters, consider yourself reported. Carry on.
I got a message from some kind of promoter the other day. It was SO subtle. Good to know I can report that next time. I didn't even think to do so.0 -
I LOVE LOVE LOVE this company, what it stands for and the products! I have lost 100lbs and have kept it off. I recently started using visalus and have lost an additional 23! It has changed my life completely. I recommend it to EVERYONE! Take action today!!
Wow, 4 posts and 4 exuberant product endorsements........coincidence?0 -
Designer whey weight control is cheaper and practically identical... just saying0

IMO .. using any diet pills or other "aids" is just asking for trouble in the long run. You get used to a crutch and then when the time comes you don't have a clue of how a "normal" person eats healthily. Then.. there you go again! Back to the crutch.. and on and on...0

Yeah, there seem to be a lot of hangry people on this thread.
And to think, if I'd never read this I wouldn't be able to add "hangry" to my vocabulary . . . I bow . . .

Huh. I see. I see. I'm incapable of stepping into such a mindset. Good thing you were here to translate.
