Body by Vi- ViSalus shakes

Has anyone tried them? And if so, did you like them? What all did you add to them?

My friend gave me a couple samples to try, but I haven't yet because I don't have a mixer/blender.

They are great. Taste good and helps shed some weight. I blended mine with vanilla almond milk and ice or made a fruit smoothie and added the powder. You pretty much can make any healthy smoothie and add it. Its pretty nice

Thank you!

Can you maybe link me to some of the recipes you may use, please?  

My mom tried these for a while right after I found out I was pregnant. She lost almost 40 lbs in about 4 months. And shes been able to keep it off.
And you can add just about anything with them.
I'm planning on starting them after my DS is born.

Did she just replace one meal a day? Or did she do two meals?

I *personally* love the way the tasted but they would give me and my sister terrible stomach pains. Not sure why, probably something we were doing obviously, but thats why I stopped them.

Here's a link to the recipes i used. Couldnt find the original one but found it on someones blog

Thanks for posting the link   As for the stomach cramping, it's really because of the fiber content. I am not sure how many days you were on it but it can take a week or two for your body to adjust. I didn't have any problems with it, but my hubby and a few friends were running to the bathroom in the beginning because their body was not used to the fiber. I don't remember the exact amount, but the bag contains several hundred prunes worth of fiber I believe. So each shake helps fill you up but also "regulates" you too.

That's good to know. I bet it definitely would be a huge change. Especially if you were constantly eating bad and never getting the nutrients you needed and then you got them all in one quick setting.

Started off with 2 a day. Breakfast and dinner. Then she started just doing 1 a day around the holidays.
