Body by vi is it a fad?



Recommended Posts

As anyone tried the system body by vi? It consists of shakes, Cereal, etc. One of my friends is pushing the product so I am interested, but is it a scam? If someone forces a product down my throat I tend to resist and wonder why they are promoting it so much. Maybe because they are selling it? Is it just Protein Shakes? I am 9 months post op gastric sleeve, down 76 lbs, but I still have another 30 to go. Any feedback would be much appreciated.

I tried the shakes before my sleeve. They were ok but I obviously didn't stick with it. I don't recall how much Protein they had but you could increase the protein by mixing the powder with skim milk instead of Water but this also increases the calories. The shakes are best blended with milk and ice. I prefer convenience. I like the Premiere Protein Shakes from Sam's the best.

If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Lots of those supplement diets use caffeine to burn more calories but it makes you jittery and grouchy and obviously stops working when you stop taking it. You will be better off sticking to your plan.

The shakes have a nice flavour but are over priced and do not have a high enough Protein content. Your better off sticking with your Premier Protein. More protein and I a assuming at a better cost. Just my opinion. It was just over double the cost for me to take visalus in comparisionwiththe unflavoured powder I use now and my current powder has almost double the protein

I have a friend doing body by Vi. She has just completed 90 days and lost 64 lbs!! No lie she looks fab! Yes she did have a LOT to lose that's probably why she lost so quickly but maybe it's worth a shot. She never had any WLS. I was just banded and I plan to first do Atkins/low carb as it has worked in the past for me.

My nut said if I have the shakes I can use them. But I wouldn't buy them again.... They are pricy and you can find a good alternative.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
