What do you know about Body by Vi? I have a Facebook friend who has lost 30 lbs with it. Is it something like Nutrisystem where you eat their food?

    I used to use it.

    I lost about 30lbs in a month.

    It is a meal replacement shake. It tastes amazing. Makes you feel full.

    Down side is.. I wasn't able to afford it one month.. I kept up with eating healthy meals.

    I wasn't doing any exercise while on the shake or in the month after.

    I gained back almost every lb in less than a month.


    I wouldn't do anything you can't do long term.

    Meal replacement program. Problem is, it doesn't teach you how to replace the meal once you're at goal. Programs that are sustainable without having to spend extra money should be ones you look to.
    Realize that any diet program works with calorie deficit. And calorie deficit doesn't need to be paid for.

    I actually started with Body by Vi. It served the purpose at the time but going into it I also new that it wasn't sustainable and that I had to work on my relationship with food and my activity. So I used the shakes but I also counted calories. That was September 2011 and I stopped using the shakes about 6 months later and have continued towards my goals without them.

    They are not a miracle product. Nothing is.

    In retrospect, I could have spent far less money on a good protein powder and just made my own shakes that way.....and counted calories.....just like I do now......and I would have had the same results.

    Good luck!
