Mixed responses for most of this type of thread. Personally, I'm not a fan of meal replacement. I like to enjoy all my calories in food form but for some people they like the quick and simple, not having to worry about what they are going to eat aspect of shakes. Some like that it can be packed full of nutrients and protein in so few relative calories.
As for BBV specifically, I think you can buy a decent powder and put in your own whole ingredients so you know exactly what is going in the shake for a lot less money. There are no unpronounceable preserves in what you are consuming, if that is a concern for you.
Also, think about once you hit your goal weight, are you going to drink the shakes forever? How are you going to work out going from shakes to eating real food again? Its just something to consider in the long run if you don't want to regain the weight you lost.0 -
I love them. They taste amazing! Unfortuantely I ran out! But can't wait to buy more! They filled me up and it seemed to have held off my hunger. To each their own though I suppose.0

I just started them and lost 3 pounds the first week. I love them! They do taste good and are filling. I love all the recipes too for them. It's easy for me to make them for breakfast/lunch. I understand everyone's concern about are you going to do this forever? No, I'm not, but it's a good way for me to feel motivated while I work on making better food choices.0

I haven't tried them but I have a friend who is trying to sell them to me
I have heard they taste great, but like others have said on here I am not really into meal replacement, and when I do drink a work out shake it is to fuel my body pre and post work out and I still eat a meal on top of that... I also chose a protein shake without any preservatives or other things I know are bad for me. 0 -
Meal replacement shakes are typically a bad idea, unless you really love drinking all your calories...the main reason to drink a protein shake at ALL....is to make up any shortages in your protein intake. Many days I don't have any protein shakes because I am able to hit my goals 100% with food, which is preferably to using supplements. They are called 'supplements' for a reason...it is to supplement protein and not to replace meals.0

And just how much does this cost you?

I LOVE the VI Shakes! They're quick, easy, delicious and for the first time in my life my belly doesnt hurt. Idk if it's the gluten free thing or what but I'm keeping my Vi!0

I think they are a waste of money. I think that everyone I've known personally who have done them have gained back a ton of weight once they hit their goals and started eating actual food again.
Are you planning to do these shakes for the rest of your life? I'm being serious, not rude. There is a reason that fads/shakes/pills, etc don't work...if you aren't planning to do them for life, what do you think is going to happen once you stop them?0 -

body by vi shakes are good but mostly good advertising. Know a few ppl that use the stuff and see results, but there's much better stuff out their.
What I started to do 3 years back is go online and see what is rated the highest for the goal you are attempting to reach.
I generally use bodybuilding.com, they have a lot of voting pages.
I personally use gold standard protein shakes, lil pricey compared to the stuff out there but you dont want to fill ur self up with cheap stuff, you get what you pay for.0 -
I LOVED them for about 3 weeks....then they started making me sick. Really sick. Maybe a soy allergy? I don't know. I waited a couple weeks and tried again and I still got sick.
Hope you have better luck! I miss my peanut butter cup breakfast shake! 0 -

I am not dependant on them. lol. doesn't hurt to give them a try. Also I am not using them to lose weight but as a fast meal replacement. I usually have a shake in the morning and have heard some good things about this. I purchased the bags on ebay for CHEAPPPPPPPPPPP. This is the only reason I am trying them. Thanks for your response.0 -

Too much sweet makes me sick! lol. This is why I usually limit the amount of scoop and throw in fresh berries or a banana. It tastes really good. I don't use any of those add ins - that is a complete waste of money. And sure body by vi shakes are expensive but sure beats the price of shakeology!!!0 -

I usually use the shake in the morning. then have a snack, lunch and then dinner, snack. All healthy food choices. If I went off the shake it won't be dramatic. I do not use it every morning. 0 -

I have protein powder and multi- vitamins that I normally use. Purchased the shake mix online cheap, thought I'd give it a shot. Thanks for responding.0 -
I prefer the Shakeology shakes (the chocolate vegan). The reason I elected to use a meal replacement is because breakfast is a killer for me. I am not hungry when I first get up - and hunger usually hits while I am on the road to work. Because of this, I found myself running through a drive through and getting something quick and unhealthy. The shakes help me stay on track and gives me vitamins, minerals and probiotics all in one. This particular shake also helps me start the day off with a balanced blood sugar count. :-)0

Its about 40 bucks a bag or so. I like the taste. Its not gritty or nasty. Just tastes good. Considering its my money I will spend it on what I choose. Thanks for the concern though. She asked what everyone thought of Vi shakes. That's just my opinion.0 -

That's what I would do. Use it for a quick breakfast then eat good food the rest of the day. I haven't had any in a while and have still lost weight without it. Nothing dramatic happened when I quit using it. lol0 -

It is 90 cals for 2 even scoops of body by vi shake. Glad to hear there are some positive feed back. Most who are sharing negative feedback most likely havn't tried the shakes, if you have, than im sorry.
I'd prefer negative feedback by persons who have experienced this shake. Thanks guys!!!0 -

Yeah, I've just recently started reading posts on here and from what I gather from them are if you aren't doing exactly what others are the exact same way they do it then it just isn't going to work.(Everyone seems to be an expert around here.) Well I've lost almost 50 pounds doing things my way so I'll stick to it. lol. But yeah the body by vi shakes are pretty tasty. I like em. 0 -
