    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???

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

    Just asking about it. I don't sell it, nor do I plan to. Good grief, can we not just have a discussion?

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

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

    It's a pyramid scheme selling a product full of junk. And yes, I can back that statement with actual research and scientific fact.

    :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. :angry:

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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...

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