Body by Vi

Hey! I am looking into the body by vi shakes to order because I want a challenge. I am curious though, there is only the cake mix flavor right? (This is fabulous but just want to double check)...also, online the price for the shakes is $79 but how much does that include? I'm looking to do two shakes a day, but I don't know how many days this 79 bucks will get me so it'd be good to know. Is there anywhere I am able to order samples before I order the whole thing?

It doesn't taste like cake mix, Smells like it when you open the bag but the taste is gross imo and the little flavour packs they include with it don't make it any better.

Idk where you are from but if you're in Canada and want to try it, Look on Kijiji there are always some ad's of people selling off their bags because they don't stick with it. I got a bag to try for 20 bucks on there and it's just been sitting in the cupboard for the last month after 3 shakes being made.
Each bag makes 30 shakes so each month you'd need 2.
So for the 3 month challenge you're looking at $420 plus shipping costs, plus the costs of milk for each shake, your snacks plus buying food for your 1 meal a day.

They keep contacting me trying to sell it and the info they give is junk. Avoid it IMO.

You'd be better off to eat whole foods.

Run away

There are lots of great ways to challenge yourself without spending a lot of money on over priced meal replacements.

You want the challenge of drinking over priced shakes which will help you in no way achieve your goals!?

I personally like the flavor of the mix. It is better than other things I have tried. I put mine into a smoothie with skim milk, low fat yogurt, and frozen berries. I haven't been able to be consistent with using it every day and I am only use 1 scoop instead of 2 it says to use per serving. I was wanting to try it but make it stretch since it is expensive. I bought mine off of Amazon. So the results I have seen for myself are hard to tell if it is from that or just the overall watching what I eat and increased working out. But I do have a female friend who uses them and has stuck with the 2 shake a day challenge and has dropped over 40 pounds using them. So if you have the money and ability to use it daily then I would recommend it.

If you really want to drink a shake for a meal, you're better off making your own. It's much cheaper, and probably more delicious.

BBV is a joke and a waste of money in my opinion.

I tried a bag of the VI protein powder last year. The only thing I didn't like about the VI Shakes was that they don't blend well in the blender with ice. The protein powder clumps up so I went back to buying Biopure.

You would honestly be better off buying a good quality protein and make your own shake every day!

yup... annnnd...

You'd be better off to eat whole foods.

also, yup.

I agree with this ^^.I never tried body by vi but I did isagenix which is similar. I enjoy real food. I did buy a organic ancient grains protein power for an occasion. It also tastes yucky but at least its sweetened with stevia, organic, vegan, dairy, and gmo free.

A friend got me to try it awhile back, and it have me headaches, stomach issues, and other problems. Not sure if it was the soy, whey, splenda, something else, or some combination of things!
Whatever it was, I stay away from that stuff now.

BUT, I do know some people who swear by it. (Granted, they are promoters....)

Do as much research as you can, but you're probably better off just eating real food...

I am doing the vi shakes,I would like to add I am not some nut who thinks the shake has some miracle weight loss ingredient. For me it works because my life is so busy I have a hard time counting and controlling calories. I work 40 plus hours a week, go to school 15 hours a week, have 2 kids, and am the sole caregiver of my disabled husband. For me its easier for me to keep track of my calories and eat a healthier choice on the go. I mix up my shake for breakfast and go to class, I get home mix one up for lunch and do my chores, take care of the kids and everything else I have to do then I pack a real dinner for work and enjoy. It has helped me to stay at 1500 calories a day and in the morning I have started doing zumba to burn some of my fat. Its nothing in the shake making me lose weight but it is something that works for me and my situation. It just helps dieting for me be a no brainer. I also have a nerve disease that makes it very painful to chew ( trigeminal neuralgia) so not having to actually chew twice a day has helped keep my attacks down. Will this shake work for everyone? NO, Is it some magic diet supplement? no, does it help if your life is busy and you do not have time to prepare healthy meals and count your calories? Yes. I do not sell it and never would I could not push a product on people that I know does not work because it is a magic dietary supplement but instead a healthy alternative for some and a motivator. For my mentality ill drink these shakes and work out and it will help it motivates me to change my life style. Could I do the same thing with healthy eating and exercise? Yes but I do not have time to do all of that so VI has worked great for me.

You need 2 bags for 2 shakes a day. Through the company it runs about $116 including shipping for a month's supply. I buy some from someone cheaper just to try them out, but I signed up through the company because they have a great deal where you can get yours for free if 3 people sign up under you. I get mine for free now. As far as the auto ship goes, it is not really a big deal. You get a login and password when you sign up and can go in and cancel at anytime.

I have had great results with this program. It is not a miracle diet. It just helps me do the things that I already know I should be doing. I just find it easier to not have to "think" about 2 of my meals. Plus, I have a habit of skipping meals so this is helping retrain my body to eat properly.

Good luck with whatever you choose

Trader Joe's sells massive containers of Met-Rx Protein Powder (chocolate or vanilla) for $22. I've tried Advocare in the past, and have compared their shake with the Met-Rx shake - they're almost identical in calories and ingredients. I'd imagine BBV shakes are the same.
