Shakeology, Body By Vi or Protein Shake??

i do Idealshape shakes, i like them a lot. they taste good.

I notice when I do drink the shakeology everyday I am not as hungry in the early afternoon and my cravings for sweets go waaaay down!!! Its about 4$ a day if you break it up but thats about the same for any other good supplement!

I do Herbalife shakes, twice a day and they are amazing. They taste good, curb the cravings, and are high in protein and a lot of other stuff that is good for your body. I mix it with almond or soy milk, add in some blueberries or a little of some other fruit and blend it up.

i would suggest trying different combinations & making your own at home instead of going with a mix. Personally, i starting having a shake every morning about two weeks ago when trying to get away from "diet" soda & i love it! My own recipe uses a base of Folgers French Vanilla Cappuccino mix with 10 oz of water (90 calories) & one container Publix Fat Free Caramel Yogurt (90 calories), then i mix it up with either more fat free yogurt (90 - 110 calories) or some protein powder (i prefer Body Fortress Chocolate, 140 calories). This mixes well in my smoothie blender with about 8 pieces of ice. Having a smoothie gives me the caffeine i need to get going in the morning & it's a very portable breakfast for around 300 calories & at least 14 grams of protein. Cost breakdown: Cappuccino Mix Container $4.00 for 17 servings; Publix Yogurt 4/$1 currently; and protein powder varies but can be found on sale in my area for about $8 - $10/container which has about 40 scoops. Total cost per smoothie: less than $1.00 per day

Please understand that i'm not trying to say anything is bad about any of the weight loss programs that you have named, but feel that you could have the same benefits without spending so much $. Best of luck to you & feel free to add me as a friend if you'd like :-)

The Ideal Protein breakfast shakes are really good and also convenient. I am never hungry before lunch. 100 calories, lots of protein, no sugar carbs to speak of

I want to try Body By Vi but my real concern is that I will gain all the weight back right after I stop the drinks... any ideas? Have you heard of how other people have done when they are complete with it?

...How would you gain the weight back? If you were making healthy choices, eating at a number of calories that works for maintenance, and continuing to be active (cardio + strength training), how would you gain back the weight?

People gain weight because they have not actually learned anything about nutrition because they rely on packaged powder/drinks. When they decide they want to eat food again...They go back to old habits.

That's my belief on these fad diets...

SHAKEOLOGY ALL THE WAY!!!! I used to not believe in the hype until I tried it! I repace breakfast with a shake and it has has worked wonders for me! More energy (I'm a mom of 3 so I need all I can get), I am WAY more regular (sorry TMI) curbs my craving for the bad stuff AND it has over 70 fruits and veggies in one shake along with over 20 vitamins and free radical fighting ingredients. My hair, nails and skin are looking amazing too! I have some samples I can send you if you message me with your address -- that way you can try it yourself.

Oh, and there's the shameless plug. Didn't even take a whole page.

I thought marketing scams were verboten on this site.
If you really want a protein shake, get some whey isolate for about a quarter of the price of this shakeology (pfffft) and mix it in some milk or almond milk.

I keep Nutrilite meal replacement shakes on hand as well as their protein powder. There are some mornings where it is great for me to just grab & go or I just feel like making a quick smoothie with protein powder, some milk, & a banana. It satisfies me & keeps me full but I don't feel like I forced myself to eat breakfast. I sometimes skip breakfast & when I do I end up eating more throughout the day or I just feel really blah. You need to do what is best for you & what your body is telling you.

It's not a marketing scam, I'm not trying to sell her anything at all. She asked for opinions and that's exactly what I gave - MY OPINION. Isn't that what this site is for? People who have questions along their weight loss journey....she asked a question, I answered. Period.

Except you advertised yourself--you told people to PM you and you'd send them a product. That's against the rules.

Expensive supplements that can be replaced by more delicious, nutritious real food for far less money.


If you want to do a protein shake, do something like Optimum Nutrition gold standard whey.
