They will help you lose weight. However, it's not because of some ingredient in the shake, it's because they create a calorie deficit. Most plans have the person drinking two shakes a day in place of a proper meal.

They don't teach you anything about proper diet. They don't teach you portion control and proper balance of foods. When you stop drinking the shakes (no one is going to drink them forever - personally I don't think they taste great and they are pricey) you will gain weight back if you haven't learned proper nutritional and calorie control.

Personally, I wouldn't drink them as I'd prefer real foods and not a drink that is loaded with chemicals and such.

It will work if you're not ravenous starving at the end of the day which can lead to binges, good luck!

I've been on the shakes for almost 2 months now and have not only seen weight loss but also a significant increase in energy every day. I was struggling with getting good nutrition, and the shakes give that to me. It was expensive at first, but they have a great program where after you refer 3 people, yours are free! I now get mine for free, and its much cheaper than trying to get that kind of incredible nutrition in a grocery store.

How many shakes do you have each day? 1 or 2?

I've been doing it as well. Since February 26. I do two shakes a day. I love them. People are gonna knock if and say we can do it without the shakes but then I wouldn't still be this fat after trying other things. Ya, sometimes it can be a way to get a deficit in calories but for me, especially in the morning, it's convenient. And it doesn't have the after taste that slim fast powder has.

Hey,

I use the Body By Vi shakes, but I also rotate them with Herbalife shakes. When I first started 1 year ago I did it with 2 shakes a day and QUICKLY realized I would much rather chew my meals... now I continue to use a shake for breakfast out of convenience.

I use 2 scoops of the shake, 1 cup of skim milk, and a fruit. Berries I find fills me up more than a banana.
I rotate this with other breakfast meals. For me its convenience only.

Good luck.

I do them w/ unsweetened almond milk and yogurt simply because it has 12g of protein and calcium that I need plus I do not like yogurt but am suppose to have it and that's the best way to get it down. I also put some flax in it and ice in a blender. I do it strictly for the health benefits and convience. I only do one for b'fast btw

I do body by vi, i used to do 2 shakes a day and I lost about 10lbs in a month BUT when i started eating 2 meals a day again some came back. So, what i do is a Vi shake for breakfast and then i eat sensible for lunch and supper. I knew that i would not continue on 2 shakes a day for the rest of my life so i swapped it around and it works better for me.

I use the 40 calorie a serving almond milk too. I truly don't mind "drinking" my meals. But I've made one so thick I had to use a spoon. It tasted just like a frozen yogurt.

I'm trying to figure out the expensive comments. I just did the math and it comes out to $3.87 a day for breakfast and lunch (computed using 30 days a month and included shipping, handling, and tax).I don't know where everyone lives but that's unbeatable in Orange County, CA.

These shakes have 2 net carbs and taste better than any others I've tried. There's a lot more to them that mere "meal replacement," but for me, using them reminds me to eat during the day.

Just started yesterday and I am seriously optimistic.

Because there are a ton of shakes out there that are around $1 a serving. So it's double the price. In the end, it's not the shakes that cause weight loss, it's the calorie deficit. And shakes do not provide greater or even close to the amount of satiety as real food. And the shakes never teach you how to each. And learning how to eat will provide greater and longer term results. And in all reality, you don't even need to use any shake.

Also, there is nothing wrong with carbs.

I have just started on Vi Shakes....They are SO GOOD......The promoter has been wonderful to me, she has been avaiable via facebook each time I ask her a question, she has lost over 130 pds, (she showed me photos of before and after), She has even called to see how I am doing and has given me "free" products....I needed a jump start...However, I don't think I totally understand what I need to eat and not eat OR how much to eat OR when to eat OR not to eat......She has explained everything to me however, I was always a "muncher" all day long.......So, for me to get organized in eating the proper meals at the proper times has been difficult for me. I realize this is what I need to be doing but, just hard after all these years to change. Especially, when you have a husband that wants pizza, mexican food etc.....

Anyways, I haven't seen a great weight loss yet and I think its because I am either still eating wrong, eating to much OR not enough... If you have the right person to guide you they will give you all the information and teach you how to loose weight and eat the proper foods.


Sorry I wrote so much......Carmen

PS: have you tried it yet?? Or have you purchased the product?? The shakes really really are great!!

I used these shakes for a few weeks and thought they tasted AMAZING! I didn't end up losing any weight, this could have also been because I wasn't eaten completely clean food with them.
I stopped using because I realized living off of shakes wasn't teaching myself healthy eating habits!

Garbage products. Some of the lowest quality and ratioed forms of protein and carbs out there. Go to a local nutrition store, support your local small business and talk with the (hopefully educated) person in there.
