    Agree!!

    if only it were that simple....


    It is that simple. There are no short cuts. Eat less move more...weight will come off.

    ^this^ and isn't a bit difficult to teach yourself good eating habits when you are replacing meals with shakes?

    Sent you a PM , have to be careful of the BBV reps floating around on the site peddling their wares.

    I peddle my wares because IT WORKS !! I wouldn't be doing it if it didn't.
    Google the hell out of the company, I dare you.

    Lactose and gluten free and safe for diabetics, children and nursing moms ... just a few of the hilights!

    Want more information about the shakes? Inbox me and I'll gladly share with you. :flowerforyou:

    ViSalus isn't meeting the competition, we're CRUSHING it!
    For those of you looking at competitor companies ... do your due diligence.
    There are companies that are leading the way and those that are following!
    There is only one Health and Fitness Challenge which also happens to be the NUMBER 1 fastest growing Home Based Business in North America, and it's breaking all the industry records.

    Haters gonna hate :wink:

    Nope, haters gonna report your *kitten*!

    This site is NOT for you damn MLM salespeople to push your crap on those of us trying to lose weight the healthy way. So take your magic shakes, pills, potions and powders that you want to sell to people and shove it.

    These are scams. Don't "message anyone for more info" They're just trying to sell you crap. No Shakeology, no Body By Vi, no Herbalife. There's a reason they don't sell this crap in stores. No one would buy it without a pushy sales pitch.

    Do not believe one word of what is said by anyone trying to sell you this garbage.

    If you can't do it the rest of your life, then why do it? I watched Dr. Oz and he said most of your diet is to be of vegetables, stay away from all the processed foods and eat clean. Work out and you should lose weight??? I dont agree with the shakes either. I do have to say I bought a juicer and LOVE it. I make a mean grean every morning for breakfast. All vegetables. !

    DUDE I AM NOT A SALES PERSON.. I SIMPLY ASKED FOR TWO THINGS


    ONE A SHAKE THAT I COULD REPLACE IT WITH THAT HAS THE SAME CONTENT..
    AND TWO FACTS THAT IT IS BAD FOR ME THAT YOU ARE SAYING IT IS....

    I DONT SELL IT NOR WILL I EVER SELL IT.. IT IS EVERYONES PERSONAL CHOICE TO USE IT OR NOT.. I AM NOT PUSHING IT ON NO ONE

    Huh ... don't know me from a hill of beans, you have no idea what my fitness goals are. I could be content with a 10 lb loss.
    You've lost 10lbs, you want to lose 28. Doesn't take a computer hacker to read your ticker.
    Some people are here for less.
    Some people are here to gain weight.
    Some people are here for consistency.

    Nobody's here to waste money on overpriced shakes.

    For the record, it's a nutritional shake.
    Can be used as part of a weight loss or fitness program.
    But if you did your due diligence before flying off the handle, you'd know that.

    I'm done with your personal attack bull****.

    You've been a member of this site for 6 months. You've lost 10lbs. Why anyone would listen to you about weight loss is beyond me.

    Now if they wanted advice on shoddy sales tactics I'd direct them straight to you in a heartbeat.

    I lost nearly 90lbs. Never one magic shake involved. And every one else can do it the same way. As far as I can tell Body By Vi must make it HARDER to lose weight.

    ok since you are doing your personal attacks.. i will respond with i have been on for five months.. and lost 62 lbs.. so what do you have to say to that.. being that you are so much better for losing 90 lbs.. (in an undisclosed amount of time i note)

    Ok....both of you have made leaps to get to get to your conclusions. Brett doesn't like MLMs, you wont change his mind. But then he jumped to saying its not healthy. MLM and healthy are not mutually exclusive. Then Jax you jumped to something about helping a kid in a hospital. You abandoned your argument about the weight loss benefits with no real progression to your new argument. This happens a lot when two people are nailed to different ends of an argument. Both of you, stop.

    What we learn from MFP is that weight loss comes from reducing and changing your intake and getting your heart pumping. BBV shakes do help people decrease their intake when used as a meal replacement. If any meal replacement shake works for you, then BBV will work because you will decrease your intake. It would be the same with body fortress shakes, gnc, slimfast. Any of it.

    I tried it (did not buy it but my mom did and did not like it. She had to add so much milk and fruit to make the shakes fill her up, that she finally realized she was better off just drinking a small glass of milk in the morning and eating a piece of fruit and hard boiled egg. Protein, less calories, more satisfied. Worked for her.) I also do not feel satisfied when I have a shake as a meal. I am probably going to start having one in addition to my meals because I am on a new medication that decreases my appetite and I am not eating enough.

    Point is, its different for different people.

    Another thing to think about...Body by Vi shakes use soy protein instead of whey protein, and there is a lot of information indicating that soy protein in large quantities isn't very good for people, especially women of child bearing age.

    Soy has phuedo estrogen and when you ingest it the phuedo estrogen takes over your normally produced estrogen and changes the chemicals in your body like if your going through menopause and no longer have your monthly it will start again. In men it will give them man boobs.

    Watch "Fat, Sick, and nearly Dead" It is on Netflix.....pretty amazing. I would never do the total juice diet, but juicing fresh vegetables and fresh fruit that come out of the earth has got to be Awesome for you!

    funny thing just happened ... I googled BrettPGH and what do I see?A link which reads MFP's MEANEST!

    Brett??? Mean???? He's a big softy, however, he wil speak up and tell you when you're full of ****. True story. Bro.

    AND NOW this thread is full of win.

    *plants a big one on Patti's forehead*
  • I love body by vi. Today marks my 75th day of my 1st 90 day challenge and I have lost 34 lbs. I have more energy, I feel better and I really enjoy the shakes. I haven't tried one yet that I didn't like. I have been very pleased with the results!! I have a long ways to go, but this is the ONLY product/program that I have tried that has actually worked for me. I have had thyroid problems for years and nothing else has ever worked and made me feel as good as body by vi. (and just for the record - I'm not trying to sell this, I haven't sold any to anyone, I'm not in this to make money, I'm just in it for me)

    This....believe me the Body by Vi reps do not have your best interests at heart! They are MLM that want to make money! It's as simple as that, if they don't peddle their wares at a fast enough rate they drop down the pyramid and yes it's a pyramid no matter what they want to tell you.

    Eat well and work hard, yes it's not a quick fix but it's a long fix and will sustain you in a health way for the rest of your life.

    It's amazing what you can find when you have a pre-determined opinion of someone huh? She probably saw that but went for the meanest one because it's better for her propaganda.

    Geez with all the different Google results it's almost like someone *gasp* lied about me! But how could a Body By Vi salesperson just lie to make themselves look good like that? They're all about honesty and electrolytes!

    Luckily it's not possible to manipulate Google, is it?

    Google accepts money if you want to make sure your links come up first, they have done this for years. Body by Vi is fully taking advantage of that.

    I don't know any to say one way or the other. I've also not tried the shakes. I just know I don't have extra money floating around. I just did it the good old fashioned way of eating right, little cardio and lifting weights. Period.

    ^ I agree with most of this. A few of my friends participating with me have had numerous health improvements since starting (not just weight loss, but lower BP, cholesterol, etc.) I see it with my own eyes.

    I am not a promoter, although I have been asked plenty. You asked for opinions and this is an honest one.

    Lower BP and cholesterol etc come from weight loss in general and from healthy eating - both of which can be achieved from eating balanced foods at a deficit.
