Body by Vi

Has anyone else read ALL the Posts?! - All the people selling BODY by VI are posting the exact same responses! - Word for Word! - LOL! - Word for Word. - My best friend sells Body by VI (ViSalus) and he has gotten his BMW! - He spews the same EXACT word for word quotes these other people did on here! - Laughing my Butt Off! - ViSalus is no better than HERBALIFE was!

A real life friend tried to sell me on this a few months ago and was so indignant when I said it sounded like SlimFast. I have the time and money (generally) to prepare real food, why would I want to forego some killer seitan tacos and asparagus for an overpriced milkshake?

I am a body by vi promoter and Two of my customers have lost 7-8 lbs in the last week. They can be as little to as much calories as you like, depending on what you put in them. Most of the ones I drink have about 350 calories in them.

Losing 7 pounds in a week isn't healthy!

I have also lost 7-8 lbs busting my *kitten* in a week. Is that not healthy either. Don't tell that to the biggest loser.

I wouldn't be able to do it, I wouldn't be able to look at my friends and family in the face and say here, eat this for breakfast and lunch to lose weight. Especially when there is so much evidence coming out that the nutrition facts are dubious and that it may indeed slow down vitamin/mineral absorption and the soy protein may in fact be harmful in the quantities you are taking.

Really, soy hating? It's pretty small quantities of it from what I see. Many foods contain negative qualities. If it's your singular source of food, it might be a problem, but realistically, it's a non-issue.

The body by vi folks have this for breakfast / lunch every day of the week, it adds up in the long run. It's not the ideal source of protein.

I've got a few friends trying this. It's like a cult or something. They won't believe it's not healthy. OBVIOUSLY the old fashioned way works... I've lost about 2 pounds a week since I started by "simply" watching my calories and getting up off my butt and MOVING.

Body by Vi worked for me. It was so much better than the normal Slimfast & Atkins shakes i been drinking. Healthier for you than the slimfast, and the body by vi gave me energy. I think it is well woth the price i paid for it, i liked it so good i ordered 2 more 30 meal pkgs. It was more filling to me too than the slimfast & atkins shakes.

Or you could just eat real food and forget the shakes....

Or make your own shakes. It's so easy to make healthy, home-made smoothies. And a lot less expensive that premade stuff.

That's mostly what I do to. Or if you really want a shake mix, just buy a cheap protein powder. More bang for your buck

I can make a pretty amazing meal worth 350cal with all natural ingredients that covers all of my macro and micro needs. :flowerforyou:

You do realize that soy is in like...everything these days, right? Try to find a regular loaf of bread in a grocery store that doesn't contain it. It's in things such as breads, crackers, cakes, rolls, or pastries containing peanuts, peanut oil, soy flour Processed and "natural" cereals which contain soy ingredients, pasta, Soy beans, soybean sprouts, sauces, Fruit drink mixes, fruit toppings, coffee substitutes instant coffee, hot cocoa mixes, malt beverages, pork link sausage, deli/luncheon meats, Commercially prepared meats (used as a meat extender), cheese substitutes, tofu, bean curd, natto, miso, textured vegetable protein, canned soups, commercial entrees, and combination foods, Baked goods, such as cakes or cookies which contain soy flour, commercial ice creams and other frozen desserts, Hard candies, nut candies, fudge, and caramels, Margarine and butter substitutes salad dressings, mayonnaise, sauces, or gravies, Commercial vegetarian products and meat substitutes Heinz® Worcestershire sauce, Lea & Perrins® sauce, fermented soybean pastes (miso and natto), Soy sauce, tamari sauce, granola, or breakfast bars, Imitation bacon bits, Roasted soybeans or "soy nuts"...

I picked up some whey protein today and off course, what was in the ingredients? Soy. Adding soy shakes on top of a soy filled world? No, I don't think it's a good idea. It's to the point that it's a big deal to not have soy in your food, so they put a big bold label on the front. Not to mention the vegans and vegetarians that go on this diet and eat a lot of soy on top of that. I'd also like to add there are many nutrients in soy that are wonderful, but it's added to so many of our foods these days http://www.inspection.gc.ca/food/consumer-centre/food-safety-tips/labelling-food-packaging-and-storage/soy/eng/1332437930120/1332437995901
