  • Thanks for the insight! I also considered the Vega, but the price was higher. Does the Chai have any sort of "tea" flavor? I dont like tea or coffee, so I have never tried a "chai" flavor before. Vanilla would be good, because I also mix into baking. I am looking to use as a meal replacement, do you think the Sunwarrior…
  • Not ALL soy has the estrogent properties you mention or are concerned with. The Soy can be NON GMO and have the Isoflavones removed so it does not affect estrogen ... it is possible and has been done!
  • Yes, I had one 8 years ago, after I had lost my baby weight ... but not the saggy skin. I have a high pain tolerance, so I was up and about out shopping within a couple of days. I did find out that I was allergic to cloth stiches however, so I had a pretty nasty scar, which I had revised 5 years ago. I would have never…
  • My favorite is Butterfinger with the Body by Vi shake mix. It comes in only 1 flavor, sweet cream flavor and taste like cake mix. This gives it the versatility to mix it with anything! I have over 100 recipes including protein bars and muffins and pancakes ... I LOVE my Vi-Shakes!!!
  • I love my Body By Vi Shake. Its has awesome tri-sorb protein without all the fillers that other protein shakes have . It is also a sweet cream flavor that tastes like cake mix so I can mix it with milk, water, yogurt or cottage cheese.
  • ME!!! I am also on 1200 calories a day, and yesterday I was under by 331 because I did some cardio. From my experience everyone seems to have a different take on whether or not to eat the extra 100. My new plan is to make sure I eat ALL of my calories every other day and on the other days, not stress out if I dont hit my…
  • Ok, I will bump up my protein and add another shake to my day to hopefully reach the new numbers. Thanks!
  • I agree... counting calories is a pain, but I dont think that WW point are any better. I found that using meal replacement shakes for breakfast and lunch by BBV allows me to eat more of the foods I crave for snacks and dinner and not worry to much on the calories. Although I am trying to drop my last 10lbs in 90 days and…
  • I am only 5' tall and 125lbs -- not "lean" at all! According to many I should be closer to 105-110 range. i have 25% bf ... I expected lean to be around 18% Yes, muscle and fat weight the same. My understanding is that 1lb of fat is the size of a grapefruit and 1lb of muscle is the size of tangerine. Both weigh the same,…
  • Yes, I think it is. I prefer the Body By Vi Shakes which have a tri-sorb protein and taste like cake mix. I can mix it with anything and even make pancakes, protein bars and muffins. Also used as a meal replacement it is only $1.87 per shake which is almost 1/2 the price of a BB shake.
  • Slim fast is too high in sugar. I use BBV Vi-Shake which has 12g of tri-sorb protein and less than 1g of sugar.
  • Thanks Samanatha. I just started working out so I figured something was better than nothing at this point! I will try to increase my work out, but I burn about 300 calories for 30 min on the elliptical. If I up that to 45 minutes I would then have to eat even more calories to try and stay around 1000-1100. Does it matter…
  • Too much sugar in gatorade and powerade. I drink a protein shake called vi-shake mixed with 1/2 a banana. It has 12g of protein and less than 1g of sugar.
  • I lost about 15lbs in 90 days on BBV and cheated ALOT! I know many people who have easily lost that in 30 days --- and maintained the loss, but everyone is different.
  • I like my magic bullet... I use it daily to make my vi-shakes and I mix in frozen fruit and/or ice cubes. Chops them with no problems. Hubby previoulsy used it for chopping coffee beans so it is quite powerful! Most stores carry them for abou $40, but I believe at Coscto you get a bunch of extra freebies!
