Body Key by Nutrilite -- anyone done this?

It would work out the same as any other meal replacement program out there. It ultimately cuts your calories. The meal replacements don't do anything magical in terms of increasing your losses. And the pills... they won't make you lose anymore weight.

It isn't a magical system. It is another form of a multi level marketing company. People are distributers who than make money off of your orders... probably why someone suggested it to you in the first place. They want to make money off of you.

To me, it's a complete waste of money. You can get much better and cheaper nutrition from real food as opposed to shakes and pills. Don't go by what people say who sell the stuff as they just want to make money.

Ultimately, these shakes and pills won't give you higher losses than proper diet and exercise. Are you really willing to spend hundreds of dollars on something that won't make for LASTING weight loss? Any weight you do lose due to cutting your calories for some chemical filled shake won't actually last once you stop drinking the shakes and taking the pills. Shake diets don't teach you how to live with sustainable weight loss that is healthy.

This stuff is the same as Body by Vi, Shakelology and the rest of the MLM shake crap out there. Eat real food and don't waste your money. Don't waste your money. Spend the money on a trainer (not the trainer selling this crap) instead.

Well the positive is that they manufacture their own products (most companies hire 3rd parties to do this then just slap their label on them). Carb blockers haven't be found to really work and CLA is very very modest at helping with weight loss. When you purchase from an MLM company, you're usually paying for the income of the upline (who most of the time had nothing to do with the sale, manufacturing, etc.) which IMO you could go out and spend less to get the same kind of quality supplements.

But I'll re emphasize that if it's not a program you're willing to stick to for life, then chances are it's just a temporary fix. And that's what the diet industry wants: temporary fixes for repeat business.

Congratulation, I am also on both products and have decided you become an IBO. It was the best choice I have made with working towards a better life. I have lost 10 lb but to be honest with you. At this time in my life I am really busy, so I mostly walk and not do the 4-3-2-1 workout video. Everything is well worth it. I hope that you add me as your friend so that I can be updated with your progress. Good Luck!

Op decided NOT to do it.

Are you suggesting that every single product known to man kind is a waste of money? Cause last time I checked every single commercial/ advertisement we see everywhere is someone trying to sell you stuff to make money. But because an individual would like to do the same its wrong and we shouldnt listen to them.

In my opinion the company does almost 12 Billion dollars a year in revenue. My guess is their products are pretty good if they selling that much. To show how much they stand by their products they give you 6 months to use the whole thing and if you dont like it they will refund your money no questions asked.

But hey thisismeraw might be making more then 12 Billion a year so he/she might be smarter.

FYI: Some of the sports franchises who use Exclusively Nutrilite products. Detroit Red Wings, AC Milan Football club. So its good for some of the most credible athletes in the world.

My bet is you work for the company somehow.

What I said was my opinion... everyone is free to form their own. I may not agree with them and you may not agree with mine but that doesn't mean one person is right.

I don't purchase products pushed through MLM. That's a choice of mine.

I believe all the different shakes and pill companies are a waste of money. Outside of some medical issue you can achieve the nutrition you need through real food alone without resorting to pills and shakes. All those diet shake companies are a waste of money. All those diet pill companies are a waste of money. I barely consume processed foods. I can get my nutrition from things that are not processed. Relying on nutrition and weight loss from shakes and pills is not healthy. Popping multiple pills a day in the name of weight loss is not healthy and that's part of Body Key.

You don't have to agree with me. It doesn't mean I am right or you are right.

While the people who use the products can help push sales it doesn't always mean a product is good. Realize that people and companies are paid to state they use the products, love the products, recommend the products, etc.

A companies yearly revenue doesn't equal a great product. Nutrilite alone does not take is 12 billion a year. Amway makes just over 11 billion a year. High revenue just means a lot of people are buying the product... it doesn't mean it is a lot of repeat customers. HIgh revenue doesn't always mean good products or healthy products. A good return policy doesn't mean a great product. Most people don't return something when you have to ship it back to a company. Making a lot of money doesn't mean one person is smarter than the other either. If that's what you really think that I feel bad for you.

I stopped reading at "test your DNA"...

And this is your first post. LOL Are you by any chance a rep/sell the product?

FYI: Herbalife is also a sponsor of FC Barcelona and the LA Galaxy soccer teams. That doesn't mean that I should purchase and use Herbalife, does it? I get that it lends an air of legitimacy to the product, but I would wager that if you ask the professional athletes whether the product is the precursor to their success, they would look at you like you were nuts. Also, it is a very different thing for a professional athlete, who burns tons and tons of calories each day during the season, to drink a shake or two to get in enough calories and recover after workouts than for someone who is trying to lose weight to use the same product.

I recently attended a nutrition seminar by Dr. Kip Johnson who has his degree from the University of LA and who's focus is prevention and natural wellness. He is not a distribution of or an employee of Nutrilite, Amway or Body Key BUT he fully endorses the product line and is extremely excited about it. He's very concerned about a number of the top health problems we are facing today including heart disease and obesity and made a point to impress upon us the potential of Nutrilite and the Body Key program to make a huge difference in people's lives in a positive way and save lives.

He talked about the genetic testing and why that's important. Genetic research has identified over 100 genes that effect how your body metabolizes food. We all know people who seem to be able to eat anything and never gain weight as well as people who try diet after diet without significant results. While there is some truth to the calories in calories out philosophy there are in fact some variations in how our bodies metabolize food and the Body Key genetic test targets six specific genes that are directly tied to that. The Body Key PROGRAM as whole is not about just pushing shakes and pills, yes there are shakes and supplements you can buy, but that's not the program. The program is aimed at identifying the type(s) of exercise your body will respond best to and what balance of fats, protein and carbohydrates you body needs. Simply saying "eat less move more" sounds good, but if you aren't eating the right foods in the right proportions that your body needs you are going to be very hungry and you won'
t have the energy to do that moving.

Also, if you are saying meal replacement shakes and supplement are a waste if money and eating real food is cheaper you are either ignorant and need to do some better research or you just haven't done the math. Nutrilite shakes and supplements are designed to deliver maximum nutrients at minimum calories and cost. And unlike some things out there they are actually palatable, my three year old loves them! Nutrilite supplements are made from organic plant concentrates. Eating organic, free range, grass fed, wild caught ect expensive, and trying to get all the variety if fruits and vegetables, lean protein, healthy fats ect that we need EACH day is a full time job on its own. The fact is that 93% of Americans are NOT meeting their nutritional needs through "just eating food". Nutrilite supplements and shakes are designed to complement the eating plans in the Body Key PROGRAM which includes menus eating REAL FOOD designed by a professional chef to be healthy and taste good!

To the people who said they don't buy products sold through MLM/direct selling/network marketing ect, think about what you are saying. You are trusting products brought to market through advertising and paid shelf space over the recommendation of person you personally know. I doubt you chose your doctor or dentist that way so why are you choosing your foods that way?

A lot of people have gluten allergies and don't even know it. The common symptoms are upset stomach after eating, constipation, or diarrhea. The Body Key shakes are gluten free, and are full of probiotics (3 Million CFU) Yes that is a good amount. Without getting too technical, 80% of your immune system is in your gut. Anytime you are on antibiotics you are killing the bad AND THE GOOD bacteria in your body. This Good bacteria is VERY IMPORTANT FOR YOUR IMMUNE SYSTEM. (www.mercola.com) I have a friend who is lactose intolerant and her husband is a Doctor and a Chemist. He has her on probiotics because it's not the same thing. Another option you have is that the shakes come with Stevia which comes from the stevia plant and is all natural.

One of the ingredients in the appetite control chews is "glucomannon" It's a food supplement, a type of fiber, from the konjac plant but is also used as a thickener or gelling agent. The fiber is bulking fiber so this helps aid with digestion and constipation. It's marketed for controlling your appetite because you do feel fuller. When taken before you eat, you more than likely won't eat as much. And, it tastes similar to a starburst. In women, this ingredient also helps with lowering cholesterol. Daily adequate fiber intake has been shown to reduce cholesterol levels and this product can help with reaching 25 grams for women and 38 grams for men. It also helps to lower blood sugar, which is great for diabetics.

There are aloe shots that come with the bundle. They will jump start your colon. Even people with IBS need aloe. It will help prevent the flu, cure an upset stomach, and eliminate heart burn. It also cures diarrhea or constipation. These Aloe Shots have Folic acid (brain power), Ginger Root (balance) Blueberry (Antioxidant) and Cranberry (urine tract) and a lot more.

The products are great and come is a 6 month money back guarantee...NO QUESTIONS ASKED. That's the kicker.

I took the DNA test and it has helped me immensely. I learned that I'm a fat trimmer (I absorb fat easier than most and I have a slower metabolism) and that I should be doing high intensity workouts to lose the weight faster.

What I found most beneficial was the website that comes with it.I haven't seen anything else like it. Of course you can log in your food and your exercise, but this website is all comprehensive. There are soooo many benefits to the site that I can't even name. The site is chuck full of workouts and workout videos from beginner to advanced. Literally hundreds. You can easily log your food, your supplements,and your exercise. It puts all of your data and puts in into a pie graph to help you stay balanced. Once I got my DNA results back, I entered them and it gave me a weekly shopping list of EVERYTHING I need to buy at the store and the recipes that go along with it catered to my body. There's no thinking; there's no impulse shopping.

I love body key. I've learned so much about food and the importance of eating right, and it truly has transitioned me into thinking about it as a lifestyle. I've never felt better. And, I hope this helps.

Yep, worked out real great for the Red Wings.

I agree with you. It's funny how some people would rather keep maintaining the lifestyle of those huge companies that feed them crap than to support a company made of the everyday people.

I don't like eating breakfast, so I keep thinking maybe these shakes would work for me, just 1 a day at breakfast, but they are soooo darn expensive!! I think between Visalus, Shakology and Amway, the lowest price was Visalus, but maybe I missed something. Shakology and Amway were both over a hundred a month, Amway might of been $99.00, but from what I could tell, Visalus was $49.00.

I have some other shake stuff I bought at the health food store, I might try that first.......right now it just sits in my cupboard, guess its time to try it out, I think I only paid around $15 for a small canister, I will have to compare nutrition one day to the other shakes.

Then there is Ruby who I follow, she is doing Visalus, but she is also wealthy and has personal trainers.....ugh.

Where is that magic pill or drink or wand or whatever.

umm different bodies work in different ways! and the reason they have to is if you have several problems the product is not for you. watching what you eat doesnt always work since youre already backed up with everything else you need something to cleanse your body so that you intake all the good stuff.
