If I had a dollar for every time someone asked me about Body By Vi, I would be rich. I couldn't offer much of an opinion though. My cousin lost 50 lbs using the product and my good friend Jeff lost 42.5 lbs. Myself? I didn't try it. I worked hard to lose my weight. Blood, sweat, calorie counting and hard work. My opinion on this isn't going to change. Hard work and clean eating will get your results!
But - is it wrong to take Body by Vi? I'd be lying if I said I didn't use protein shakes to aid me along the way. I lived off protein shakes for months when I had my jaw broken. It's true I was sick of them after 3 months which in turn led me to binge eating on whatever I could get my hands on. This was and continues to be my major concern with people following this program. What happens when you stop the shakes? Are you going to drink the shakes for life? How do you handle going out for a meal when you are on the shakes? Millions of questions.
My friend Jeff, as mentioned above, lost 42.5 lbs since Christmas following the Body by Vi program. He's well aware of my skepticism and my concerns. Jeff has offered me the opportunity to try the product at no charge, for the next 30 days. I have a big bag of their protein powder and a bottle of Omega-3 capsules. I just made my first shake and so far I give it a 10/10 for flavour and texture. I used 2 scoops of protein powder, 1 cup of almond milk, some coffee and unsweetened cocoa. I blended all of that with 3 ice cubes and the taste was great. Exactly like ice cream. I'm now wondering what it would be like frozen. :)
Keep an eye on this spot as I plan on posting reviews on a regular basis. Jeff already knows I will be giving the GOOD, the BAD and the UGLY (if any) when it comes to this. I'm not selling this product so I don't make a dime either way.



I think live life right is the only way shakes come and go and only offer short term solution that for most part are based on long term issues with food and excerise.
I lost 35 pounds by some (not a lot of) exerise and cutting out all sugars like in coffee and death soda :-!
Maybe shakes can jump start to better thing and you are right kim are you going to drink them forever :-O

You know I have to "weigh" in here (pun intended) because I have been on the program since December. It's not a "Magic Fix" like people seem to think it is. It's still work. I exercise regularly, I read labels on foods and make healthy eating choices. I still have to plan one of my meals each day and make sure that I'm taking in the correct amount of calories per day and be sure that they are the right kinds of calories from the right foods.
You don't have to take the shakes forever. Only until you lose the weight you want to lose. What it does is help get you to the weight you want to be at and then gives you a fresh start. What you do with that fresh start is up to you completely. Just as with any other weight loss plan...healthy nutrition included...if you lose the weight you want to lose and then go back to Big Macs and Pizzas for lunch and supper, you'll gain the weight back. No eating plan will be a permanent fix..unless you have the determination to eat properly once you reach the weight you want to be.
I tried healthy eating. I tried exercise. I tried many things. None of them worked for me. I got discouraged and I gave up. Then, I found Body By Vi. I did the research and took a chance on it. It works! I'm closing in on 50 pounds lost since December and I've lost over 28.5 total inches! I'm looking and feeling better than I have in 20 years and I'm fitting into clothes I haven't even looked at in years! My health has improved dramatically and I have tons of energy instead of being the lazy sloth I used to be. Body By Vi has changed my life for the better!
If I stopped my shakes tomorrow, I know that I would not put my weight back on because I have learned proper eating habits and I know that I do NOT want to go back to being the fat, unhealthy slob that I was before I started Body By Vi. That alone is enough to keep me on the right path. I've almost got my first 50 pounds down...then I will work on the second 50 pounds off. You WILL see me at least 100 pounds lighter someday. I'm determined and nothing will stop me this time. Body By Vi has shown me that it IS possible and I CAN do it.
I'm thankful that Kimmy is trying the product and I know she'll always give her honest, unbiased thoughts. I wouldn't have it any other way. :)
Congrats you you, Wade! You've done an amazing job and I'm proud of you, my brother!
