Body Bi Vi shakes - verdict???

Hi HealthyHappy8:

I tried them for a few months. They didn't make me lose weight, they made me gain weight, so I stopped. There is a lot of sugar in them. They sometimes have the opposite effect in people. One of my friends drank the shakes and she lost 40lbs. But she gained it right back afterwards when she stopped using them. Essentially, you are depriving yourself of an actual *real* meal. But like I said, for some people it works, for others it does not.

They are REALLY tasty, I will admit, and you can have a lot of fun with them, by making different recipes - but that's the problem - by adding fruits and other stuff, it just adds to the sugar.

I'm sure there will be others that respond with different experiences. Best of luck! If it works for you! That's fantastic!

Any time people use meal substitutes, or shakes to lose weight, they almost always gain the weight back because they never taught themselves how to eat properly along the way. Ditch the shakes and eat whole food, but just track it and hit your macros and calories and you will lose weight.

It only works because if you limit yourself to the shake for breakfast and shake for lunch you've probably severely cut your calorie intake. Stick to real food with the same calorie counts and you'll get the same results. Once the honeymoon period wears off of how fabulous you feel with all the proprietary blends of nutrients, magic powders and feeling full on a glass of liquid you'll realize you're spending big bucks for something you could have mixed up in a blender yourself. You'll also find out that you have no idea who to lose or maintain your weight without your crutch.

My daughter in law sells this stuff. She started out a New Years weighing 240 lbs on a 5'2" woman. After 7 months of doing the challenges and drinking the magic potions she's down 25 lbs. Not great results in my book.
