Body by Vi

my mom and dad both use it, and love it. my dad's cholesterol levels are the lowest they have been in years. I have tried it, but I enjoy food too much to replace a whole meal a day with a shake. If I am in a hurry I do make one- they are filling.

I have a lot of friends selling it and using it. It seems almost like a pyramid type scheme, because who wants to pay that much for a glorified protein shake.. well, if you sell it and get others selling it, you don't pay much if anything. I'd rather just go buy a protein shake from GNC with no real sales pitch! Good Luck!

I have been using the Vi Shakes since September 2011. I have had fantastic success with them and before I started I did some research and at that time, not knowing what I know now, I could not find a suitable alternative in the store. Also, the Vi Shakes taste awesome and are highly versatile. They totally suited my purpose and really got me back on track. I no longer use them as a meal replacement but rather as a snack usually. The reason I continue using them is because I get them for next to nothing, so for me it's cheaper than going out to buy protein powder plus I love the way they taste.

I have always eaten real food, but the convenience of them really worked for my lifestyle and helped me to create healthy habits. They are not in any way a miracle cure, I still counted calories and made healthy choices. The other people I know who are on them and have had success have done the same thing.

With all that being said, if I knew then what I know now I would have just went with a good protein shake supplemented with a good multivitamin.

I have been on the body by vi shakes, drinking 2 a day since the beginning of February. I have lost just over 70 Ibs!! I would say this is the best thing I have ever done. I absolutely love the shakes after much trial and error of recipes:) This is the best product I have ever tried and believe me I have tried many! If you are looking for a great way to lose pounds I would highly recommend this!! I am still trying to lose my last 30Ibs but know I most certainly will as this is working great for my lifestyle:)

I had a friend gift me 2 bags, so I'm not part of any selling thing. When I decide to buy more it will be on amazon because I don't want to be part of the selling, etc.

now on to the shakes. I am starting out big. SW 264. I accepted the shakes as a way to jumpstart my weight loss and give me some time to learn how to eat properly. I drink one shake for bfast and one for lunch. I personally LOVE the flavor. I mix it with Almond Breeze unsweetened milk because I have lactose issues. I am amazed that I am not hungry. I am not taking any other supplements from them but I find that i am not hungry till about 4:30 which is about the time I need to start dinner anyway. i eat a normal dinner. I am more conscious about what we are eating as a family. I have always been a HUGE soda drinker, easily 5-7 cans of soda a day. I have not had one soda since I started the shakes, I'm not sure if it's because I feel full or if it's a mind thing but I have no desire for it at all. I told myself I coud have 2 a day but haven't even had one since starting. Actually the only thing i have drank since starting are the shakes and water.
The only issue I have is trying to get all my calories each day. I feel great, tons of energy during the day,able to work out every day, sleeping better at night(I guess because of the work out). I've had a cpl days that even after eating a full dinner and feeling full that I have came in under 1000 calories. I am trying to adjust that now by forcing mysef to eat a cpl healthy snacks.
I've only been using them about a week and a half but that's my take on them for now.

I had started on them this spring, but ended going off them. Although they are some of the best tasting shakes I have every had as far as protein goes, I could not "drink" two meals out of the day. I stay so much more full with my oatmeal (and sometimes egg whites) than I ever did with the shakes. I still use them as a back up for when life gets busy (my new fast food), but I do not use them as a backbone to my diet. Once the bag is gone that I do have, I will probably not be ordering a new one.

All other protein shakes I have tried have made me nauseous but not Vi. I drink it with almond milk post-workout for a protein boost. However, it provides no satiety to me and would never recommend it as a meal replacment.

love them have been on them since jan and lost 70 pounds
i have nothing negitive at all to say about them

I've been on BBV for just over a month and have lost 10 lbs and 7 inches from my chest, wasit and hips. I love the stuff! It's not expensive, works out to $1.87 per shake. It's great for nutrition and energy. My kids take it as well, but in between meals for added nutrition. I promote the stuff as well, but I'm not here to try to push it on anyone. I just got my husband to start on it too, he's into bodybuilding and he take the other shakes from GNC, but says these taste way better and there's less sodium and fillers, so it's healthier too.

I like the taste of them, been on them for a while....have yet to lose any weight though.

BUMP READ LATER !!!

It's perfectly safe to use if you like to eat shakes. It is not magic nutrition that will turn crappy habits into good habits. You can get the same results from controlling calories.

This is exactly right.

It's a shake with calories and nutrients, not a magic wand.
If you like the taste and the convenience and the ingredients list looks good to you - go for it.

But, you could get just the same results from eating actual food if you prefer.

I use it and really like it, the taste is awesome. I am not using it strictly like on their body by vi challenge 2 shakes a day thing but my mom is and she has lost 30 lbs in about 4 months I think, She's done really well, she does 2 shakes a day plus her snacks and a healthy dinner. She looks and feels great. She won't be stay on it forever but she has had quite a bit to lose and felt this was a good boost to get her journey started.

I leave my house on dayshifts by 5am and am definitely not ready for breakfast at that horrid unGodly hour blech!!! A shake fits just perfect, sometimes on nights or on the go or after a workout, or when I'm dealing with my many children and don't feel like stopping to make myself something to eat. I dunno it's quick, easy, relatively healthy, yummy and yup extra serving of fruit.

Anyways, just my opinion on it.

Today is my first day on it! I love the taste, I have the sweet cream and I use vanilla soy milk and 2 bananas in it and I swear it taste just like a banana milkshake! Just add fruit to make it taste better! I do love it and it makes me feel full, plus I know im getting the protein and vitamins I need!

I looooooove it!! Awesome from a nutritional stand point especially since when a lot of people first start dieting they aren't getting the proper nutrition since its a lifestyle change.
