    'Cause most of us here enjoy eating our calories, and do not depend on any specific food/drink to help us lose weight. We understand that it's all a matter of calories in/calories out.

    Do you mean the $311Can transformer kit etc?
    If so, I wouldn't touch it with a 10 ft barge pole. It would be, to me, a complete waste of money. It is meal replacement shakes, drinks, and supliments diet that would do nothing about teaching me proper nutrition and good eating habits or sating my appetite.

    I enjoyed eating all the food I love, improving my nutrition, losing 30lbs, and keeping it off for 6 years counting calories. Much less expense involved too.

    IMHO ditch the shake idea, put your stats in here, MFP, chose a reasonable weekly calorie goal, buy a food scale, weigh your food, and count your calories. You will have a much better chance of long term success.

    Cheers, h.

    Nope it's low quality junk.
    Here's a funny story about body by vi. I used to have an instagram acct. I would post all my transformation pics. Well one day I got a message from a body by vi lady. She wanted to pay me to use my pics . she wanted me to sign a waiver saying I used her products and I would get paid XXX amount of dollars per month .
    Obviously I didn't because there's no way I would support a scam like that. Ends up she used some anyway but I had her acct shut down.
    So yeah, these companies are a joke. They prey on niave and desperate people to try to make money.

    Don't be sorry, we don't know until we ask. I too asked a question today and got some very interesting and almost rude answers. I think most of us here are here to help and don't mean to be harsh. It's just sometimes people can be rather blunt. Asking questions is how we learn.

    From Alan Aragon:

    "I regularly get questions about this or that MLM product, whether it be Advocare, Herbalife, Visalus, Isagenix, or Whateverthehell. I am yet to come across a health/nutrition-related MLM company that doesn't economize production costs with sub-par nutritional formulations, especially the protein-containing products (for example, MLMs love to use soy as the first ingredient or fructose as the second ingredient). Adding insult to injury, these protein-based products cost at least double that of the leading non-MLM brands that actually use higher-quality protein formulations. To top it all off, these mediocre MLM products are hyped as the best things on the market, and of course they rely on the emotional triggers of zealous testimonials rather than the weight of the scientific evidence. So yeah, my opinion of MLM-based nutritional products is LOL (yes, let the hurt flow through your butt over that)"
