Body by Vi™ was designed to fit within the reality of your life. We have sensible meal plans that allow you to ‘cheat’
now and then, along with reminders you can send to your email or phone to help keep you on track with your

tone up. This kit combines 2 Vi-Shape® Nutritional Shake mix pouches to provide 60 balanced meals over 60
days. It also includes a sample assortment of Health Flavor Mix-Ins for variety and nutritional support.

3. Does purchasing a kit provide more value?
Yes. Because we want everyone to experience the life enhancing transformation, the “Transformation” Kit has
the largest value by saving you over $100 off of normal retail prices from ordering the products individually. The
“Shape” Kit saves you over $45 from normal retail, and the “Balance” Kit saves over $28 from normal retail prices.
4. Is it expensive?
No. In fact, it can SAVE you money. The program provides 2 full meals, and all the nutrition you need to be
healthy and help transform your body. The cost per day for the program is less than many people spend on ONE
fast food lunch, or breakfast on the go. And it provides much more nutrition and health support, for maximum
transformation.
5. Do I need to exercise?
The program is designed to help you lose weight, even if you don’t exercise. However, to really transform your
body and get in great shape, we do recommend exercise. This is why we provide two types of exercise plans – one
for the person just getting started, and one for the person that wants a firmer physique.
6. Can I buy the products separately, and not in the kit?
For the best value, the kits provide savings from $28-$150 off normal retail prices. Should you wish to add more
products, you can always do so.
7. Can I use only water for the shake?
The shake is great mixed in water for a low calorie, nutrition rich snack. For meals, we suggest that it be blended
with non-fat milk, or soy milk for extra protein and nutrient support.
8. Who should take this product?
Anyone that desires to have a better shape, to lose weight, to get fit, or to build lean muscle!

SUZANNE LOESCH – :
I received my order really fast and came in just like described. Thanks so much for quick and great service.
Judith B. – :
My husband and I both drink the shakes. They taste great and keep you feeling full for hours. If I use it on a daily basis I see weight loss.
Heather Leflore – :
I have enjoyed using the ViSalus Body by Vi Shakes, they are very tasty and the flavor packs definitely help. They control your hunger and are great on the go.
Cindy – :
Just started the 90 day challenge
This is only my fourth day of the challenge. I really like the shakes. I use a magic bullet and usually add the frozen fruit you can buy from Costco to make a new shake twice a day. There is a great variety, so I know it won’t get boring. My favorite shake to make is the cherry cheesecake…take six ice cubes, some skim milk, 2 scoops of ViShake, a teaspoon of no fat cream cheese, Graham cracker crumbs and a 1/4 frozen cherries and blend together……it’s absolute heaven!!! I have one shake in the morning, usually a piece of fruit, a shake at lunch, a fiber1 bar, maybe a slice of bread with a bit of cheese then a good supper and I feel full…gone are my late night snacking habits. I’ve lost 2 pounds in four days….and I feel great!!! Lots of energy
moptop – :
I have tried meal replacement shakes, protein shakes – before. They always had a funny taste. Not this one. Taste is awesome and wonderful recipes!! Well worth every penny!!
Luke Booth – :
Hey does anyone know if you’re supposed to mix the shakes with water or milk or juice? My roommate thinks water is better for losing weight but I think the milk tastes better. If someone has any suggestions or knows where to get good recipes please let me know…thx.
LUgaitafa – :
Received it a day earlier and came as described. Love the product and I will be buying from here again!! Thanx!!
bobby – :
Just wanted to say thanks for this product. It’s an awesome kit to get started on because it comes with everything you need and it’s exactly as described. I was looking for something that I could drink before and after the gym to build a little extra muscle definition and I think this is doing the trick.
George Wey – :
Good product so far, they have different “Kits” for different duration of dieting. The ViSalus Shape Kit was reasonably priced and the duration of the diet plan would get the ball rolling as this is a 30 day kit (2 shakes a day).
Usually nutritional items like this list their nutrition facts openly.. I had to actually do some hunting as the sites selling ViSalus see to be very vague about whats actually in the product. Which made me hesitant and skeptical.
Here is what I understand from the nutritional:
It has an average 30% DV of vitamins B. Unless your taking B-Complex, I doubt this will boost metabolism.
It has 15mg of cholesterol per serving – roughly 100g of macaroni and cheese per shake you drink.
It has 0 saturated fat and 0 trans fats, so this is approved.
It has 12g of protein, 5g of fiber, and <1g sugar
Whats its made of:
Soy and Milk products
medium-chain triglycerid
Sucralose – artificial sweetner this is why there is <1g sugar
and too many others to list!
sjants – :
This is a wonderful product. Very easy to make and tastes like cake mix! It is non-gritty and tastes great!
T. Gilboney – :
This stuff tastes like vanilla slim fast powdered shake mix. It is, however, healthier with less calories, fat and sugar content than slim fast. I mix it with almond milk, which has few calories. It is best when blended with ice. It does a good job of keeping me full and satisfied when I have it for breakfast. Some of the mix-ins are good. Banana is my favorite. The orange and peach taste strange if you don't use ice to make it colder. Overall, if I am buying a diet shake product I would choose this one over slim fast or shakeology.
Sandy Essex – :
I was using ViSalus before and decided to buy it through Amazon because my challenge was over and I couldn’t afford the price on their website….needed to find a way to buy the product and keep using it at a more reasonable price!
swest – :
I heard about “Body by Vi” locally and decided to check out the internet for the product. I purchased the starter kit first. I liked the product, (It helped keep my appetite in control) so I decided to buy the larger package. I am quite happy with the product.
James L. Kramer – :
I am a natural-born sceptic, and when some long-term friends told us about Body By Vi in 2011 (they became “distributors’), we politely looked the other way. We ran into them eight months later– he had dropped eighty pounds, and looked great! Because we’d known this couple for ten-plus years, we decided to give it a try, starting on 7/7/12.
After four weeks, I’ve lost 10-1/2 pounds. My clothes aren’t quite as snug, and we find that we can’t eat as much as we used to when we sit down for dinner. We aren’t “hard-core”– we usually have a shake for breakfast and lunch, M-F, and sometimes just one shake a day on the weekends. Mine usually consist of 1% milk, a banana, the shake mix, and a teaspoon of sugar-free instant pudding mix. My wife uses almond milk in hers. We normally have a small snack mid-morning and mid-afternoon (maybe a few grapes, an apple or one of those pre-packaged “100 calorie” snack bags), then we eat a normal dinner (except that we eat less than before). Yes, we sometimes cheat on the weekends and snack on chips, cheese, or some kind of fast food junk, but still manage to lose ten pounds over the last four weeks. Exercise?- nope, nothing out of the ordinary. We’re sticking with the program, and we’ll see if the weight loss continues.
Robbyn – :
Super fast shipping and this tastes just like cake batter! Lost 5 lbs in 8 days
this is something I will absolutely continue and it’s so easy with all the different recepies. I suggest unsweetened almond milk 
Re’s 51 – :
Great tasting and keeps you feeling full til next meal would highly recommend. You won’t be sorry for trying this great product.
brittney88 – :
Just bought this product to lose some weight for a spring break trip I have coming up in a few months. I tried the shakes and they taste really good, like a vanilla milkshake. I really love fruit so I’m going to add some frozen fruit to my next shake. I’ll let you all know how it goes! Wish me luck and best of luck to all of you out there that are trying to lose weight too!!!!!!!
Charlie Fogle – :
You won’t be sorry if you try this kit it’s really great and I know that its helping me get healthier everyday. Really enjoying it.
Amy Mann – :
I have been doing the Body By Vi shakes for about 2 months now. I have to say that I LOVE THEM!!!!! I have lost only 13 lbs, but I have lost 12 inches of fat!!! I have dropped from a size 16 jeans to a size 9. I do 2 shakes a day, 2 snacks and a sensible dinner! Lately we have actually been eating out for dinner….. I am still losing. Most people get discouraged by what the scale says… I say toss out the scale and go by a measure instead!!! Its not the weight that matters its the figure!
These shakes have enabled me to give my body some amazing nutrition that has been super easy for me!!! I generally keep my shakes right around 300-320 calories… anything less I am starving and anything more I just wanna eat! I use almond milk in mine as it has lower calories, make a smoother better tasting shake than regular milk….. I add Hershey’s cocoa powder, ice, a banana and 2 scoops shake mix to my 8 oz of almond milk every morning! Yummmy!!! I could go on and on and on about these, but I really do not want to bore you…. BUT of all the diets I have tried… Advocare, Herbal Life, MediFast, Alli, Atkins, Weight Watchers…. nothing has worked for me as well as this!!!
Thank you!
wllmb99 – :
I’m not able to exercise as much as I would like but still manage to lose a half pound or so a week which more than I could before. I’m going to continue using it and see what happens.
Noah – :
Really nice shake. A lot better than other products I’ve tried and I have had a lot of protein shakes in the past. None taste as good as this one. Bravo ViSalus.
Kelly K. – :
Just got my package in the mail with this kit and I’m about to make my first shake. I wanted to leave a review really quick because I was very impressed with how fast my shipment came. I ordered it just 5 days ago and it’s already on my doorstep. I was really surprised when I got home from work to see it here. The package looks just as it was described and I’m planning to make my shake with milk and the strawberry flavor packet. Any other suggestions of good recipes to try???? I’m so excited to start this “nutrition” journey!
D. Kingsley – :
It took me almost a year but I have lost 63 pounds and feel great. I gave it 5 stars because I believe it really aids in dieting. It has been easy for me with visalus shakes. I did very little exercise and believe I could have lost even more if I did exercise.
Kristina – :
I could not have been happier. I bought my order on a Thursday and received it Saturday. Product was just as they said it was new and unopened. I would definately recommend
Jeep Lover – :
This is the best tasting protein shake I’ve ever had by far. I’m happy my friend convinced me to get this and I can’t wait to see my body transform.
Philly Girl “Patty” – :
I loved it. I just don’t like the little flavor packets but the shakes I love. I lost 5 pounds with NO EXERCISE. Now if I can get some more and take my butt to the gym
Matt Carp – :
This product tastes WONDRFUL. In my whole 28 years of life I’ve never tried a protein shake that is anywhere near as delicious as this one. It’s actually really surprising it tastes this good for all the protein that’s packed into one scoop. Usually that makes these shakes taste gross and sort of like chalk but this one doesn’t taste like that at all. Glad I ordered this and I suggest trying it if you haven’t yet.
Jennifer Eblen – :
I purchased this meal replacement shake through ViSalus itself for alot more money. This is the exact same product. Dates are good. Love the taste. Shake up lots of different flavors. GREAT PRICE!
Blondie83 – :
I have never written a review for ANYTHING before, but I had to write one for this product. Let me start off by saying that I have struggled with weight my entire life. I am a 29 year old mother of two, and growing up I was always the “fat” sister. I have been depressed and unsocial almost my entire life because of how uncomfortable I was with my body. Til this day I still get insecure at times, but it is a work in progress. I have tried counting calories but I was always in a bad mood because I was STARVING all the time. Even counting calories results in slow progress for me. I lost maybe a pound a week. I have tried working out to Julian Michael’s DVD’s (I own 3) and it was pure torture because I hated to sweat, it took way too long to get a full work out, and the next day I was so sore, I could hardly move. I have gone to the doctor for B-12 injections, took prescribed fat burner pills, and as time went on I started to become more depressed and pretty much said “screw it.” I guess I was meant to be fat.
I have heard about these Vi shakes from plenty of my coworkers, I figured it was just another scheme and a bunch of BS. When I heard it was $99 a month I laughed and said “good luck with that.”
I don’t know what came over me, but I was up late one night and I read a post on Facebook about motivation and making things happen if you really wanted it. After reading all about Body by Vi, taking my friend’s words into consideration, and reading countless reviews, I spent the $99, regretted it instantly…. then it arrived in the mail three days later.
I drink a shake for breakfast, one for lunch, and eat a balanced dinner. It tastes GREAT! Almost like a smoothie you’d buy at Jamba Juice. Trust me, I am a junk food junkie and these shakes are GOOD. I have NOT worked out AT ALL and I have a sit down office job. I lost 7 pounds in 7 days. I have even eaten mashed potatoes and grilled chicken from KFC as well as bean burritos and tacos from Taco Bell for dinner. On average, I lose a pound a day. I have NEVER felt so confident and skinny! When I look down while driving my stomach no longer pokes out further then my boobs and that is huge for me.
I’m not going to lie, I have a shake at 6:30am and I am STARVING by 11am, so I bring a Blender Bottle (which I purchased on Amazon) and a baggie containing 2 scoops of my Vi mix with me. All of my shakes contain 12 ounces of low fat milk, 2 scoops of Vi powder, and whatever fruit I want to blend in such as a half of an orange, some strawberries, or a banana. That’s it!
This WORKS. It’ll be the best investment you’ll ever make. Think about all the money you will save on groceries, and how great your body will feel. The directions state to drink two shakes per day to lose weight and one shake per day to maintain your weight. You’ll want to eat nuts, fruits and vegetables if you want to snack.
Don’t hesitate. BUY IT!!!
Nicole – :
This product does help with weight management; however like anything else you need to work out along with it. The price was great, but it did not come with the 10 mix-in flavors.
Queenlacey11 – :
Have been on shape mix for 4 months now and have lost 32 pounds on it with that shakes and excersise!!!! Bought from the Visalis company the first mouth and then I found the same thing on amazon for a lot cheaper!!! But don’t get discourage if u don’t lose weight right away I was in for 3 weeks b4 I lost any weight on the shakes.
Ken C “kenjunior” – :
its the classic Shape Kit only much cheaper than ordering thru the ‘local distributor’. The product works well for my wife and I.
Cindy – :
This is only my fourth day of the challenge. I really like the shakes. I use a magic bullet and usually add the frozen fruit you can buy from Costco to make a new shake twice a day.

Jamie – :
Okay, I’m going to take the time to write a really through review because I want to help you fellow dieters out there. I’m fairly new to the world of Visalus products and was first introduced to them by my sister who’s been drinking the shakes for years. I never really had a problem with my weight like she did so I didn’t really listen to her too much when she would talk about how great the shakes were.
However, my ears started to perk up after I had my first baby and I was having trouble loosing the pregnancy weight. I was going to the gym three to five days a week but I still wasn’t seeing much change in my weight, just a few pounds here and there. I needed results faster so I asked my sister again about the shakes and where to get them. She directed me to this website. I called the customer hotline and told them about my pregnancy weight and how much weight I wanted to lose and they said the Shape Kit would be a good challenge kit for me because it helps you lose weight and get toner.
That sounded good to me because I didn’t want to just be skinny, I actually wanted to look really healthy and fit. I decided to purchase the kit but before I started to drink the shakes I took the product to my doctor to make sure it was okay to consume while breastfeeding. He said that I could drink it and that the ingredients were okay. I’ve been drinking it now for two weeks and it actually tastes really good. I’ve lost about four pounds and I think this will be a program I can still to.
I’ll leave another comment once I’m on it a little longer but I just wanted everyone to know that it is a good product for new mothers because it’s really easy to make and it tastes really good.
SpoiledMiss – :
I ordered this initially from a distributor and for some reason I thankfully did not get caught up in the auto-ship. I did ob well the first shipment which lasted me about 5 weeks and have lost 10 pounds. I lost the weight through calorie counting and exercise, not just shakes alone. My initial email from my distributor told me to consume 1100-1200 calories a day, that would make anyone lose weight fast, duh. I said screw that and found my ideal calories from My Fitness Pal and went to work. I will not lie, after the first few days of shakes and snacks, I was starving/famished even. I then found better snack choices including a poached egg over dry toast, tasty and filling to get me through the beginning. I now dont need the heavy duty snacks and do great with Laughing Cow soft cheese and wheat crackers. I dont do the shakes everyday, it’s really hard when I am feeding my daughter to try and drink a shake while she has something of substance to eat. I have started making healthier choices for dinner, including a lot of salads but all of this is stuff you can do without the shakes. I only continue them because it’s so much easier to make a shake than trying to find another meal option that fills me up with so little calories.
For my shakes I use 2% milk, I thought about low fat or no fat milk but the calories were all the same, 1/2 a banana is great in the shake plus 1 tablespoon of chocolate powder (only 10 calories), 1 tsp of peanut butter and 2 scoops of shake mix. The banana definitely increases the calorie count but it’s really good and I dont find myself needing a snack when I used to.
If you want a nice meal alternative this is a great choice, but just a reminder, I was STARVED in the beginning but prior to this I was eating a lot of food without any concern of calories or fat content so I think that has something to do with it too. Word to the wise, drink lots of water, it is very fiber rich and can cause constipation if you dont!
Giving it 4 stars but I really think 3.5 is more accurate, the flavor is good but it’s not a magic weight loss potion like everything else it does require work. Sadly I was sold the magic weight loss potion but hey at 1100-1200 calories a day I would drop weight like crazy it I didnt pass out from hunger first.

Great product to use with Gastric bypass surgery. I love the butterfinger shake and rice crispy protein bars:
Butterfinger shake: 2 scoops of Visalus shake mix, 2 tbsp peanut butter, 2 tablespoon sf butterscotch jello pudding mix, 8 oz almond milk (40 calories), and ice cubes. Blend and enjoy! Rice crispy protein bars: 1 1/2 cup light corn syrup, 1 1/2 creamy peanut butter, 2 scoops of Visalus shake mix, and 5 to 6 cups of rice crispy. Microwave peanut butter and light corn syrup for about 2 minutes, stir until well blended, add rice crispy. Spread until 13 x 9 pan. Cool and cut into bars. These bars are better than store ones. Recipe calls for honey but I found the honey to be too sweet. The light corn syrup works well with my gastric bypass. Typical day with Visalus:
AM: Butterfinger shake
Snack: Rice Crispy Protein bars/fruit/shake
Lunch: Butterfinger Shake
Snack: Rice Crispy Protein bars/fruit/shake
Supper: Small meal
PM snack: Protein bars
Please keep in mind that my stomach pouch holds about 6 oz of food/shake at a time so I can space at my shakes/bars over the course of the day. I am 8 years post op from my surgery and this shake mix makes me feel thin and sexy! I just purchased a pair of faux leather pants to wear on my small body.
Lisa – :
Huge fan! Really great product for weight loss and staying healthy! Thanks!
claudia – :
My co-worker introduced me to this product, from the beginning I noticed it had a great taste among other nutrition shakes. It is a tool that has helped me lose weight with a healthy diet and execise. When I ran out of it, I spent 3 weeks without drinking it and it made a HUGE difference, once again I felt tired and with no energy. So i decided to buy it online from Amazon and not only did i get a discount but i saved on free shipping as well. I have my whole family drinking it now, it provides alot of nutrients and over all benefit. I do not sell the product but highly recommend it.
ginger – :
The flavor is good. It is fast & easy. Lot’s of different receipes to use. So far it is working & I am losing inches
Impressed Girl – :
I’m honestly really impressed by how good these shakes taste. I almost just bought one bag of the shake mix but I’m glad I just decided to bite the bullet and go with the Challenge Kit I really wanted because the shakes are amazing, there was absolutely no reason to even worry about this. The shakes taste like cake mix just like the company says they will. I usually don’t eat breakfast but I’ve started to since buying this just because they taste so good.
They sort of even taste like a breakfast pastry in my opinion. I like making it with soy milk and then adding a little oatmeal and cinnamon in a blender for a pastry flavor. I feel like I’m already losing weight after 3 weeks. I’m trying to lose 100 pounds so I still have a long way to go but this is a good start.
Linda S. Mikels – :
Great tasting way to supplement the diet with protein. It arrived in less than a week. Excellent customer service. There are many ways to use it with fruit to make delicious smoothies.
Jen – :
I bought this kit because I have been trying to lose more weight. I went from 190 lbs to 170 lbs on my own through eating right and exercising, but I just could not get down past 170 lbs and stay there. It seemed like I was starving myself to get into the 160s. I tried to get more of my calories through protein, really restrict fat intake, etc., etc., but I just couldn’t do it. I bought this shake mix to see if it would help me out at all; I was a skeptic because I always thought you could do it on your own without these gimmicks, but being desperate, I wanted to try this. I actually wanted to try Advocare but didn’t want to spend all the $$ – I was willing to pay for the Body By Vi.
The powder smells like cake mix and actually doesn’t taste too bad. It’s “grainy” – you can definitely tell there’s fiber in it! Definitely drink it with milk – I used skim milk. I didn’t feel as hungry as I thought I would, and I just went with replacing two meals a day with the shake and a healthy dinner. It was easier than counting calories. I started this a month ago and I’m down to 163 lbs! I actually stopped using the Body By Vi to experiment with eating normal meals again, and I haven’t gained anything back. What I liked about the shakes was that they have a lot of protein, fiber, and vitamins all in one package. I was trying to eat meals that consisted of protein, fiber, etc., but it seemed like I had to eat more than needed to get everything. It’s almost like these shakes were the boost that I needed to start losing weight again – whether that “boost” was mental or physical is unknown
But all in all, if you plan on sticking to two shakes a day and healthy dinners, then try these out. If you know you’re just going to eat something else with the shakes, don’t waste your money. You have to be mentally prepared to drink meals and really restrict yourself. I used to think it was pathetic for people to go on all these different diets, but now I’m at the point where I say “Do what works for YOU.” These worked for me, my body weight and measurements prove it. I will continue using the shakes for breakfasts and/or lunches that need to be quick and honestly, I LIKE the taste of these. I think I’ll buy more of those mix-ins, though. It adds variety.
V. A. Dolby – :
I have been using this product and have found it to be beneficial. Still using it and hoping for good results.
sarah – :
My parents actually talked me into trying this shake. My mom lost 14 pounds in 2 months just by walking with her neighbor and drinking the shakes. My dad runs alot and was stuck at a certain weight. Once he tried the shakes he lost another 10 pounds. I just had a baby two and a half months ago, and for the last 2 weeks I have not lost a single pound. I was burning 500 calories a day at the gym 4 days a week, walking 2 miles 2 days a week and eating lots of salads, bur I could not lose those last 10 pounds of baby weight.
I started the shakes on Friday, having one for breakfast and one for lunch. I have already lost 3 pounds and its Wednesday morning!!
I mix the shakes with frozen fruit, sherbert, etc…trying to keep each shake under 300 calories. I also eat two granola bars as snacks throughout the day and for dinner I have whatever I want (thin crust pizza, salmon, grilled chicken and spinach salad) and dessert.
I have enough energy for a good workout at the gym, and its nice seeing results so fast. Yes, its expensive, but you will not spend less than 90 dollars on breakfast and lunch for an entire month anyway, so go for it!!
7 more pounds to go for me…wahoo!
Kevin G. – :
The shakes taste really good and I like that you have the option to throw in the different flavors so it doesn’t really get boring. I’ve stuck with this kit now for two month. Happy with it.
Shark – :
Fast shipment….Great to work with!!! Love the product….hoping it continues to work so far so good! Easier than what I thought!
Jilly – :
Really fast shipping and the product is exactly what I expected. Tastes good and lots of flavor options. Thanks.
Patty Griggs – :
I was on pre-diabetes medication so I have been trying to lose weight so I ordered this kit three months ago. I’ve lost 29 pounds!!!!!!!!!!! My doctor says my blood sugar levels are getting much better. I can’t say thank you enough to visalus for making this product and I recommend try it, especially if you’re at risk for diabetes!
You CAN lose weight and get off the medications!
If I can do it at the age of 56 then you can do it. GOOD LUCK!
T Kelley – :
Flavor is decent. I tried using the shakes as two meal replacements to lose weight. But then I was actually getting to much protein and other nutrients for the day (using My Fitness Pal app to track). So, cut back to one meal replacement, light lunch, lots of snacks and normal dinner. I’ve still lost 4 lbs in 2 weeks. Plus don’t feel starving. Feel confident that I’m getting a better balanced nutriton than with other “diet” shakes or plans.
Henry Y. – :
I’m 47 years old and I need to lose weight to get my cholesterol down according to my physician. I had heard a little about visalus from people at work so I decided to give it a try. It was about 5 weeks now that I ordered the shape kit and I’m here to report the kit does as it’s supposed to. I’ve lost 13 pounds and I can tell a lot of it is from my belly. I had an appointment with the doc this morning and he was thrilled that my health seems to be improving.
Besides drinking two shakes a day I’ve cut back on red meat and ive been taking walks about four nights a week with my wife. It’s been nice to spend some time with each other away from the television and last night she told me she was really proud of my improvements. I have visalus to thank for all of these changes because the shakes and the kit have encouraged me to stick with it and they’ve made it easy to be healthy. I would recommend any whos in a similar situation to me try this product. I don’t think you will be disappointed.
maxkazoo – :
I love this product I have struggled with my weight for several years. I had been going to the gym 5 days a week and Eating right and was unable to loose weight. I started the Plan 3 1/2 weeks ago
I have lost 11 pounds and 6 inches. I couldnt be more pleased. The shakes are really good.
Thank you ViSalus!!
tomasa – :
when using the ViSalus shape kit I always run out of the Mix-Ins first. this product allows me to have Mix-Ins to last
the month. Plus the seller offers in many combinations of flavors so you can get more of your favorites.
Dot – :
I just started making the shakes. I purchased from amazon because I like the protection that buying through them offers and no auto ship. I have been mixing with milk and fresh strawberries and have also mixed it with instant coffee in the blender and it makes a delicious shake. I lost 50 pounds last year but the weight loss has slowed down and I am looking for a product to give me a boost. I already eat healthy food and exercise daily. I lost a pound in the first 3 days so, so far so good. I will update with weight loss after a few weeks.
Alison Burley – :
So first of all this shake WILL help you lose weight if you know how to use it right. They recommend (for weight loss) 2 shakes a day, healthy snacks, and a sensible dinner. When I first started this product I thought I was following the plan correctly but ended up gaining weight. I would have the 2 shakes, a salad with chicken for dinner (or equivalent meal) and fruits/veggies for snacks and workout for about 90 min 3-4 days a week and 30 min 2-3 days/week. I looked more into it and I was creating such a calorie deficit that my body was starving. My recommendation is to count your calories in and out as well otherwise you risk starving your body into gaining weight. Remember females need at least 1200 calories/day and males need at least 15-1600cal/day. Since I have corrected this, I’ve lost about 15 pounds and kept it off for about a year (from 136 to 121– my lowest was 117 but I wasn’t healthy looking so I purposefully gained weight back).
That being said:
Pros: Tastes great, many options for mixing in flavors, fruit, peanut butter, etc… Quick to mix up (I use my Magic Bullet), keeps me full for about 4-5 hours depending on what I mix in,
Cons: More expensive than other shakes
TexasLady – :
I was introduced to this shake mix in south Texas…The first time I tried it mixed with fruit. The shake gave me such an energy boost. I take med’s and mornings can be difficult…One of these shakes with bananas,blueberries, strawberries or even malted milk mix, allows enough energy to go through the day without feeling weak or hungry-due to lack of protein. It is a wonderful energy drink and weight loss aide…Best thing I have found to help me get up, and get going.
Kimmie Short – :
As a mother of two toddlers and a full-time aerobic instructor I’m busy 24/7. But because of my job I have to make sure I can always eat healthy so I’m in tip top shake. As any mother of small children would know, you can understand that there’s not much time to cook and eat healthy meals…even if it is part of your job! So, this shape kit has been a life saver for me. I just throw spinach, fruit and milk in to a blender with one scoop of the shake (I do this twice a day) and it keeps me full just like I ate a healthy meal. It’s really the only program I’ve found that’s easy, inexpensive and satisfying. Now I can feed the kids, make a shake and take them to daycare all in about an hour in the morning. I never could do this before when I was trying to make big meals for myself. I feel healthy and fit because of this kit and I’d recommend it to anyone who’s busy but still wants to be healthy.
Alvin – :
First, a disclaimer. I currently do not sell the product, so I will give you an honest neutral review. I do love this product…I am medically classified as morbidly obese, although I am in good shape, I still wanted to lose the belly fat. Heard about it from about 20 different people, thought i’d give it a try. First and foremost, I have to say that this is not a lose fat fast fad diet. It’s a lifestyle change, and yes you can get results by counting calories, but believe me this is far easier. I spent 3 months using myfitnesspal on my android/iphone and according to what I inputed, the app said I was starving myself. That coupled with my aggressive workout routine via personal trainer, I should’ve lost about 30 lbs…when in fact I only lost 15, which is great…but it seemed I was missing something with the calorie counting because it did say I was in “starvation mode”.
So after much research, found out that by taking the Body by Vi challenge it gives you the sensation of being “full”, and tricks your body into burning the fat, and not the lean muscle, which normally happens on diets such as Slim Fast or other starvation fads. So for those of you who pay attention to the scale for results, you are in the wrong boat. I’m on my first week, already lost 1.5 inches off my waist which is very significant, but my weight only went down 2 lbs…this was accounted for all the strength and conditioning I was doing, so in essence you are building muscle, losing fat. Forget BMI, and weight…they are a load of crap. Neither of them take into consideration bone density, abnormalities, such as I have over sized thighs and very broad shoulders…but my only problem area is my stomach, but according to my doctor my BMI says I should be legally defined as dead (joking of course).
Now, onto some of the negatives…IF you decide to take this product it does require a large amount of will power, as will any diet. Yes, the shakes are satisfying, but they are not an end all solution. You will be tempted, even with the appetite curving powder, which is why I recommend healthy snacking such as fruits, vegetables, and if you’re like me where the hardest part of the program was at night…I chose to take the shakes once for breakfast, and once for dinner, but had the dinner one at around 7:30 so as to not be so hungry at night before I go to bed…and if drinking water gets boring you can do what I do and use the Mio flavor squirts…no calories, no sugar.
So for anyone who says counting calories is equivalent to Body by Vi is mistaken…I’ve tried counting calories and lost a significant amount of lean muscle, and almost zero fat. Is it easy? Absolutely not, but you will feel better about yourself, you won’t feel heavy throughout the day and although you don’t immediately see results, you will notice your stomach shrinking as the days go by just by rubbing it.
lynneth – :
I do like this product and buy it over and over again, but I did NOT want to commit to monthly deliveries and allowing them to deduct money from my bank account. Amazon is a great way to get the product without the hassles, and free shipping is just an added bonus. The product tastes good and even my child likes it. I find it’s a great way to get her to have breakfast when she won’t eat actual food. I use it as a meal replacement when I have no time for a meal, or I add it into things as a supplement as part of a healthy diet.
Chachi “Cute Obscenities” – :
Package arrived early (: I like that! Just made my first shake and everyones reviews are right… it is simply delicious. I’ll update my review after 30 days (: if you like cake you need to get this!!!
Diana G. Marcos – :
17 pounds in 20 days!!! This is not a gimmicky, nasty tasting shake–you’ll be peasantly surprised at how good the powder smells as soon as you open the package. I hit upon the perfect shake after just a few experiments– (I wasn’t too thrilled with the mix-in packets–too artificial tasting)2 scoops of mix, 14 oz nonfat milk, and a scant tablespoon of unsweetened 100% cocoa powder, and you are in Chocolate heaven! Two of these shakes a day, two fruit snacks, and a sensible, low carb dinner have produced amazing results. As a type 2 diabetic, I have seen my glucose levels plummet to near normal, and I have energy and an incredible sense of well being (must be all that chocolate!)
Jack Statofski – :
There really is no better alternative out there for me. This made it easy to stick to my program and I saw results! Go Visalus
Kaylee – :
I like this product, it can see the results everyday. It’s much cheaper than going onto the website and doing the 90 day challenge. I would recommend it to anyone who is trying to lose weight, but remember it’s not a quick fix.
estefanie711 – :
Visalus is awesome..You can mix fat-free milk w/any types of fruits, which really enhances the shake. I would be cautious however if you are sweet sensitive, the mix is very sweet, but the more fruits you add, the better it is!
Ash – :
I started this challenge yesterday and when I weighed myself this morning I had lost 2 lbs already. I use fat free milk (8oz-12oz) then 2 scoops of the mix then a desire flavor mix-in (about 10 calories) for a total calorie count of 190 cal per shake. I also just used 8 oz of water and the shake mix with a flavor mix-in for a total of 100 cal per shake. It is important that you calculate your calories like using the MyFitnessPal app on your phone. Currently, my daily calorie intake is 1100. I forgot to mention I also purchased the Vi-trim. It definitely helps supports your hunger and I can go without eating for 3-4 hours. Sometimes I’ll eat crackers (70 cal a serving) and its enough on my stomach or I’ll eat a few meals in small portions. So basically I might eat 3 to 4 times a day to help the hunger yet stay below my calorie count. I can’t wait to see how much I loose after 90 days!
Laura – :
I ordered one for me and one for my husband and even though we started the challenge less than a week ago, we are already seeing the results! I would definitely recommend this product and company. They shipped right away and even emailed me to make sure I had received it. When I need to stock up on this I will be ordering from them again.
Lorna – :
I love ViSalus shakes. I prefer them plain with just almond milk but the powder is great for mixing smoothies as well. If you are trying it for weight loss as a meal replacement, it works!
Stella Poole – :
This shake is AH-MAZ-ING. Honestly I really recommend it if you’re looking to lose weight and this kit is good because it gets you started with two bags. So I would say it’s a good kit for someone who’s willing to start the program and stick with it. It’s not a cake walk (even though it tastes like cake mix LOL) but if you’re willing to stay true to the challenge kit then you’ll definitely see results. I’ve lost 17 pounds so far and I only have about 5 more to lose to get back down to my high school weight…and I’m 33 years old! I’m so excited and I’m telling everyone about this product and shape kit.
Ricka254 – :
I must say I was very apprehensive but I was desperate to get lots of weight off. It has been about 2 months and prior I was extremely inactive. I walk 3 – 4 miles a day and have 2 shakes religiously. I started at 270 and for someone 5′ 10″ that is HUGE. I am down to 238 and plan to shed about 20 more. The worst thing is the constipation. I use a fiber supplement but still have difficulty. MORE water is the only thing I can recommend, but overall I am thrilled with the product. Thanks
sunshine79 – :
I save so much money buying it on Amazon versus buying it direct from the company.
in my opinion the difference between this product and other protein products are that this 1 has less calories per serving. it does keep me fuller longer than most whey protein products. if you are lifting weights and trying to tone and build muscle this product is not for you. your body will require more protein to sustain the muscle. I’m using this product to lose weight however when I do start doing weight bearing activities I will probably implement another protein supplement in addition to this product.
it can tend to be a little greedy inconsistency if you’re going to drink it right away. purchase a good Blender Bottle it will help.

It is a great product came in; in great shape. Tried it with a scoop of peanut butter and ice and it was the best!!
shanna – :
This was the first time I have tried Visalus! I love the shakes! i have not felt hungry during the day. I have lost 14 pounds in 1 month, this includes going out of town for 1 week for which I did not do the shakes during vacation!! I would recomend this to everyone!!
MML “ML” – :
This shake is a great supplement or meal replacement. I have gluten allergies and this product has not given me any problems at all.
Dawn m – :
Great product. Fast shipping. Great way to lose weight! Would recommend this to anyone who wants an easy way to count calories.
Selfklan6 – :
I checked out Body by Vi extensively before trying – I had a few friends from back home that told me about it with great reviews so finally I caved! Best cave EVER!!! I love it and lost 25 lbs in the first challenge (I admit, I cheated at times so I may have seen even better results if I’d stuck to it). I have decided to take the challenge one more time which with the same results would put me at my goal weight! It tastes great, keeps me full and has given me more energy than I’ve had in quite a long time!!! I plan to use this even after I reach my goal weight (1shake a day then) to keep the weight off and keep the energy level high
alainamac – :
I love this product. I use it all the time, not to loose weight but b/c it is so healthy and good tasting.
Wendy – :
I find that it works great! I would probably lost even more than what I have if I would just start walking, but i still love it.
Tyler Kerr – :
If you are taking body by vi this is a good place to buy it. Reasonably priced and came on time.
Daniel M. Flugum “p.dan” – :
The product itself is great. I have lost over 5 inches in my mid section in 30 days. However the sale of this product outside of ViSalus should not be considered. Many people have reported expired bags and/or ripped/torn bags. If you want to be sure that you receive a quality product please go through a distributor. If you don’t know one personally please contact me [...]. You can also receive many benefits from going through a certified distributor, such as 3 for free. It’s a great way to get your product for free. I read the other reviews and if you’re feeling pressured by someone, I apologize. I would love to answer questions if someone has any.
Ms T – :
The product is amazing! I continue to receive my order quickly every time. This is not a miracle diet but a life change. I take at breakfast, eat a sensible lunch and then shake for dinner. I exercise 5 days a week with Cardio and Weight training. The lbs will melt off
B. Throne – :
It taste good and I have lose 20lbs, another 20 to go. will keep buying
thanks it is really good
satisfied – :
taste fine, I use it for breakfast. Wife uses it for both. Cannot say how well it works but I know I am not hungry until lunch after I make one. Add some banana and blueberry to top it off.
Girl Talk – :
I wanted to write a detailed review on this product just because when i tried to get a honest review on this product i hardly found one. Most of them were fake by BBV representatives. which i hated and disappointed as a customer i think this company should give some respect to real customers views.
I noticed this product as one of my friend recommened to me. I was tempted to try this but did not want to get into the challenge program and the autoship stuffs. Heard so many ppl complain that its a pain and once u sign up i heard they really dont give a damn to ur concerns.
So decided to try this for a month via amazon and see if its works for me.
About the product:
———————
a) Tastes good
b) Keeps me full
c) Easy to make
d) I think its little expensive
How i make my shakes:
—————————
a) I have my shakes with unsweetened Almond milk (4 Oz – 20 Calorie) + water (4 Oz) + 2 scoops of BBV shake mix (90 Calorie) + some frozen fruits (100 – 150 Calorie). Kind of makes my calorie to 250 – 280.
b) I mix match the fruits so i don’t get bored.
My first week: – (No Change in my weight)
—————————————
a) Had a shake for breakfast and for lunch
b) Had 2 snacks in between (like apples, carrots. grapes, nuts)
c) Had one sensible meal for dinner
d) Had atleast 8 – 10 glasses of water
e) No exercise at all
I had no change in my weight and was little disappointed.
My second week: – (Weight was not steady)
—————————————–
a) Had a shake for breakfast and for lunch
b) Had 2 snacks in between (like apples, carrots. grapes, nuts)
c) Had one sensible meal for dinner
d) Had atleast 8 – 10 glasses of water
e) No exercise at all
My weight was not steady and it went up by 2 lbs and down by 2 lbs. Still disappointed.
I decided to use myfitnesspal.com and start to track my calories and saw that i was above 200-300 calories each day, when i was under an impression that i’m not actually eating enough calories. So this was an eye opener to me. So monitorning them was helping to know what and how much i actually eat.
My Third week: – (Lost 3 LB)
—————————————–
a) Had a shake for breakfast and for lunch
b) Had 2 snacks in between (like apples, carrots. grapes, nuts)
c) Had one sensible meal for dinner
d) Had atleast 8 – 10 glasses of water
e) No exercise at all
My weight was down by 3 LBS. myfitnesspal.com really helped a lot to monitor my calories.
My forth week: – (Lost another 3 LB)
—————————————–
a) Had a shake for breakfast and for DINNER
b) Had 2 snacks in between (like apples, carrots. grapes, nuts)
c) Had one sensible meal for LUNCH
d) Had atleast 8 – 10 glasses of water
e) No exercise at all
My weight was down by another 3 LBS. I understood that i was eating around 400 – 500 calories for dinner which as a general rule people say its not good to eat more calories at night. So i swaped my shake timing.
Also started to do slight exerice. Not got into it yet. But atleast started something.
About this Seller:
——————
Got the package in 4 days and was well packed. So shipment was quick and I went through free super saver shipping only!
Conclusion:
————-
This product works. Make sure u consume the right calories. My goal is to lose 15-20 LBS. I’m now down by 6LBS in the first month. Now ordered another pack from amazon. Hope i do better this month. Will update my results.
Also now i’m started to beleive that even without this shake by eating right calories and a lil workout will help u reduce weight and stay in shake. But i wanna reach my goal fast and then wil maintain my wight by eating right and exercising.
Hope I made my review clear and usefull for some people like me looking for true and honest reviews. Leave a comment if u have a question. When I check I will reply
Note: I’m not a BBV representative or any sort of promoter. Just a honest customer.
My Advice:
———-
If you decided to try this you better get this product from amazon or ebay. I really heard ppl say its very difficult to deal with the customer service ppl. Good luck!
Update on Apr 23, 2012:
———————–
It have been approximately 2+ months since i started to use this shake. And I have lost 9 Lbs so far. Its no magic like some ppl say that they lost 10 lbs in week and all that. Its kind of slow. But, YAY atleast something!!
Puppy – :
Love this product! Would highly recommend it to anyone considering shedding weight. Has helped me tremondously and will definately oder again.
Tom Hagedorn – :
The product taste GREAT and I like there is hardly any sugar. I am diabetic and its something I can use compared to over the counter powder products. I choose to put fresh fruit into the shake instead of the flavor packs. It is filling and I dont get hungry. Read the lable and see how nutritional in comparison. The only reason I havent lost weight is because I dont stick with it like I should. Its my fault not the product.My brother-in-law has lost 4o lbs on it so I need to get busy and get serious before the Holidays hit!! What I like most is I ordered 2 bags and didnt have to get on a monthly set up with a distributor. Ive done that before and would have 10 bags of product . I am glad I can order at my own speed and have faith Im on my way to weight loss.I highly reccomend this to any one wanting a weight loss.thanks TOM
Rhonda Christian – :
I know this product does not work for everybody. I have been doing this and have not lost any weight. I love the easyness of two shakes a day and getting to have SO many flavors to choose from. I love the flavor of the shake and depending on what I choose it gets a little to sweet sometimes. I wonder if it is to rich for me so I have cut back to one scoop lately but get hungry soon after a shake. My expectations of this product has not been met but I plan on staying with it and hoping I will show some results soon. It’s only been one month. I have had setbacks in eating certain things not recommended but go right back to the program. If you have any ideas for me I would greatly appreciate them in helping me get some results. So the four star is because my expectations are not being met but I like the product.

Baseball Bill – :
Couldn’t be more pleased with this order. The kit does exactly as promised and I’ve been able to shed the unwanted pounds really quickly. It’s great for men and women. My girlfriend drinks it too and we both feel really happy. I would suggest trying it.
Ashley – :
Love, love, LOVE these shakes. They actually taste really good and are very healthy for you. I took the ingredients to my doctor and she said they are very healthy and a safe way to lose weight. I’m just on week number three but I’m already seeing results. LOVE IT!
Amy Burton – :
I am a visalus shake user and have lost 65 pounds in 10 months! I am hypoglycemic, and have a low natural metabolism which means I am always craving sweets and have low energy. Since I started using the shakes, I feel good all the time. I do not have the munchies or crave sweets. I rarely have symptoms from hypoglycemia because my diet is so much more nutritious and well balanced. The shakes are packed full of natural nutrients and vitamins, more than you can possibly get in even a well prepared healthy meal. I checked this product out, and had an experienced nutrition and fitness expert check it out, too. I have NEVER seen him endorse anything like this and I was very skeptical myself, but when he said he was even going to use them (for himself as a supplement) I was all for using them. They are the first thing that has ever worked and stayed working for me. Even when I started using one shake a day, and being more lazy about my snack choices, my weight simply maintained or went down only a pound at a time. It has been a consistent, long term, weight loss that, most importantly, is STICKING! I am back to using them twice a day. I have one for breakfast and one for supper plus whatever I want for lunch. The first week back was THREE pounds lost! Simply put, IT WORKS! And it can work for any body type and any person’s schedule. I want to lose 50 pounds more, and I know I can do it with these shakes. I strongly encourage ANYONE to give it a real try. For me it was only 2-3 days adjustment of not feeling hungry, plus I save a lot of money on food I don’t buy for 2 meals a day. GO FOR IT and see if you can prove me right! It will only benefit yourself! GOOD LUCK!

I have been on the shakes for a week. I love it! so far I have lost 3lbs. I have two sleeping disorders, a bad back, and problems with my legs. By changing my eating habits I had lost 41 lbs over the course of a year but I needed something to help me with the last 30 or so pounds I needed to lose because I had become stagnant with my weight loss and I needed more energy. After drinking the shake I feel great. My favorite way to fix it is with starbucks blonde verdana via packets added which adds no calories and it tastes like an iced coffee. I also tried non fat sugar free jello mixes to add flavor. So far so good. I will keep ya’ll posted.

WITH THIS PRODUCT..I WAS ABLE TO REDUCE MY BLOOD SUGAR..GET OFF PRE-DIEABETIC MEDS..AND LOSE 31 LBS OVER A PERIOD OF 3 MONTHS…I NOW REPLACE 1 MEAL A DAY…AND HAVE CONTINUED TO LOSE WEIGHT AND MAINTAIN A HEALTHY BLOOD SUGAR LEVEL.
SStott – :
I did not think I would like this product as much as I do, but it actually very yummy! I only use once a day instead of twice because when I was using twice a day I had no appetite at all. I would get headaches from not eating anything. Once a day and small healthy meals/snacks and I am still satisfied and still losing. Even then I am only eating once a day and once shake a day.
VIRGINIA MARTINEZ – :
I love body by Vi, it taste good as all the nutrients needed & I don’t have to think about what to eat in the morning.
Foster1dg – :
The shakes arrived quickly. They taste great and I lost nine pounds in three weeks! I would recommend this product.
Alvin – :
First, a disclaimer. I currently do not sell the product, so I will give you an honest neutral review. I do love this product…I am medically classified as morbidly obese, although I am in good shape, I still wanted to lose the belly fat. Heard about it from about 20 different people, thought i'd give it a try. First and foremost, I have to say that this is not a lose fat fast fad diet. It's a lifestyle change, and yes you can get results by counting calories, but believe me this is far easier. I spent 3 months using myfitnesspal on my android/iphone and according to what I inputed, the app said I was starving myself. That coupled with my aggressive workout routine via personal trainer, I should've lost about 30 lbs…when in fact I only lost 15, which is great…but it seemed I was missing something with the calorie counting because it did say I was in "starvation mode". So after much research, found out that by taking the Body by Vi challenge it gives you the sensation of being "full", and tricks your body into burning the fat, and not the lean muscle, which normally happens on diets such as Slim Fast or other starvation fads. So for those of you who pay attention to the scale for results, you are in the wrong boat. I'm on my first week, already lost 1.5 inches off my waist which is very significant, but my weight only went down 2 lbs…this was accounted for all the strength and conditioning I was doing, so in essence you are building muscle, losing fat. Forget BMI, and weight…they are a load of crap. Neither of them take into consideration bone density, abnormalities, such as I have over sized thighs and very broad shoulders…but my only problem area is my stomach, but according to my doctor my BMI says I should be legally defined as dead (joking of course). Now, onto some of the negatives…IF you decide to take this product it does require a large amount of will power, as will any diet. Yes, the shakes are satisfying, but they are not an end all solution. You will be tempted, even with the appetite curving powder, which is why I recommend healthy snacking such as fruits, vegetables, and if you're like me where the hardest part of the program was at night…I chose to take the shakes once for breakfast, and once for dinner, but had the dinner one at around 7:30 so as to not be so hungry at night before I go to bed…and if drinking water gets boring you can do what I do and use the Mio flavor squirts…no calories, no sugar. So for anyone who says counting calories is equivalent to Body by Vi is mistaken…I've tried counting calories and lost a significant amount of lean muscle, and almost zero fat. Is it easy? Absolutely not, but you will feel better about yourself, you won't feel heavy throughout the day and although you don't immediately see results, you will notice your stomach shrinking as the days go by just by rubbing it.
Stacey – :
The shipment was fast and it was exactly what I wanted. I am enjoying my shakes. Thanks for the fast service!
kylie martinez – :
Hi everyone! I wanted to tell you all about my experiences with the vislaus shakes and the shape kit more speicifically. I’ve lost 18 pounds so far and I’ve been drinking two or three shakes a day for two months. I’ve cut out gluten from my diet as well as any sugary foods or junk food. I also try to drink lots of water and I drink absolutely no sodas. This has done wonders for me and I would highly recommend this to anyone!
Kyle Broderick – :
I gained a lot of weight once I stopped playing sports so I was looking for something that would take the extra pounds off. I’m glad to say this has done the trick. I’ve been using the shape kit for the last 6 months and I’ve lost about 19 pounds. That number doesn’t really do the change my body has been through justice though because I think I’ve gained some weight from the muscle I’ve put on too. I went from a size 35 waist pants to a size 31. I look like a completely different person in my opinion and I think I have the shape kit to thank for this.
Miss Emily – :
WOW. That’s all I can say about the shape kit. It’s everything I was looking for in a protein shake and after doing a ton of research and trying over 10 protein shakes I can say without a doubt this is the best tasting one that I’ve ever had. It tastes sort of like cake or vanilla frosting to it’s good on it’s own or you can add some fruit if you want to get fancy. Yay for the shape kit! Good luck to everyone with your weight loss goals! XOXO
LosingwithVi – :
Ok, so I’ve pretty much tried every single weight loss product on the market. I’ve even been a Rep for Plexus Slim. (Doesn’t work for everyone) I bought this product from a friend about two months ago, and had to develop my own taste sensation. LOL!! I used all natural peanut butter, chocolate powder, and chocolate almond soy milk. Tastes like a Reese cup! It’s really easy to fix on the go, I just use my Magic Bullet. If you are a person like me who doesn’t have time to eat breakfast, then this product is for you. I don’t mind the cost at all, because it’s helping me get healthy, and to stop taking medications for high blood pressure and arthritis. I have lost 33 lbs in 2 months, and I feel GREAT. I am not a Rep yet, BUT….if I lose another 17 lbs in the next month, I WILL join! I am a VERY satisfied customer!
Rob – :
I’m on day 9 of the 90 day challenge but I’m already seeing a difference in my body I think. I’ve been drinking the shakes in this kit twice a day and I swear my stomach is getting a lot flatter. My stomach is my really big problem area, so to speak so I’m really glad to see that. I just want to get rid of my beer belly and get more muscles and I’m sure this is already helping. I recommend it to anyone who wants to be lean and mean lol.
Oucody99 – :
They were great the packaged arived just five days after ording it, and that was with standerd shiping. Everything they said was in the packaged.
Hannah – :
I have to admit, I’m skeptical with everything I purchase, big or small. I’m the kind of person who has to read every single Amazon review, watch all the YouTube video reviews and ask all of my Facebook friends before I’ll even consider buying something. For this reason, I was of course very hesitate to buy the Shape Kit even though it looked like it was a great program for losing weight and getting tone.
I’m glad I listed to all the great reviews though because this was an amazing purchase. I’ve lost 3 inches in 2 months from following the instructions on the kit and using the flavor mix in packets in my shakes twice a day. If you’re like me and you worry that you’re making a huge mistake every time you order something – don’t worry. This is one of those products that’s worth taking the risk. You’ll be happy that you did and you’ll feel better than ever in those skinny jeans. Trust me! Good luck to everyone out there that’s trying to lose weight – you can do it, I promise!!!
superbeck74 – :
We have been using visalus for a couple of months now. We feel better and are losing the weight. The shakes actually taste good.
abraham76 – :
This is the first time trying any products or shakes from visalus and I have to admit that I’m really impressed with this company. They deliver exactly what they say they’re going to and more. The shakes are hella delicious and they fill me up quickly. In my opinion that’s the only way you going to lose weight…you have to feel full and satisfied even though you’re eating or drinking less calories….this is exactly what the visalus shakes in this kit do for you. I’ve only had it for a little over two weeks now but I’ve tried all of the flavor mix ins and my favorite is orange. Maybe that’s because my favorite Gatorade flavor is orange and I just like orange flavored things so that’s just me….you might have a different favorite flavor. All of them are good and the shakes even taste good on their own mixed with like milk or water. I highly suggest buying this product. You have nothing to lose it really is a good system and you can only benefit yourself from buying this.
Tinadoll99 – :
Visalus is an amazing product and I absolutely love it! Going to make myself a coffee flavored shake right now.
Regina E. Fink “Gina Fink” – :
I am gradually loosing a little weight on the ViSalus Body by Vi Challenge Shape Kit (60 meals, 10 Health Mix Ins)
Sumer Hall “SH” – :
I was pleasantly surprised at how good the Body by Vi shakes taste. They are a wonderful mix of a vanilla cake flavor. I truly look forward to drinking them. They also seem more filling than other shakes I have tried in the past (slim fast, HMR, and right size smoothies). There are also tons of ways to make them different by adding fruit, coco, peanut butter etc. With so many possibilities you shouldn’t worry about getting bored. They are especially great for sweet craving people like me, but the best part is they have very few carbs/sugars and are diabetic friendly as well.
Rob Lynch – :
I like buying this on amazon because it allows me to avoid the whole annoying pyramid selling pitch. As for the product its self I am pleased with it. The cost might seem a bit high but when you consider the number of meals that it replaces it’s not so bad. I find that if I make sure to drink a shake before the gym I have a lot more energy and staying power. On the other days a shake in the morning keeps me full well into the afternoon.
The taste is great. It can be a bit hard to mix well. A small easy to clean blender of some kind is highly recommended.
Mama Fish – :
I ordered this a few weeks ago and so far I really like it. I was always someone who kept protein/meal shakes in the fridge for mornings where I didn’t have time to eat or days where I forgot to have lunch. I like that I can vary the flavor in TONS of ways. My current favorites are strawberry/banana and choc./peanutbutter. YUM! I do prefer to order through amazon since I get the autoship price without the autoship! (Saves me $24!) Amazon prime shipping is also way faster and FREE. So it’s a no brainer for me.
Angel – :
Love this shape kit. Taste great and comes with a measuring cup that made it easy to measure the servings. The health mix-ins also add an enhance taste to the shake.
Chris – :
This product was a good purchase for me because I’m not just trying to lose weight I’m also trying to bulk up. The people that work at visalus said they thought this would be a good challenge kit for me because it comes with the two bags of protein mix so it lasts you the entire month if you drink two a day.
For the past few weeks I’ve had one shake for breakfast when I wake up and then I have a second shake after I go to the gym after work. I think this is working out well because the shakes fuel my body and my muscles after the gym so that I can build my body to look like I want it to.
Another good thing about drinking the shakes after the gym is I’m not as hungry when it’s time to eat dinner so I’m not overeating at meal time. I think this is really making a difference in my weight and I’m excited to see what the future brings now thanks to this kit.
HW “fisher” – :
It’s probably a little early for a review. I’ll go ahead and make this short. I just started the vi shakes. They don’t taste bad at all. The mix taste like cookie or cake dough and i use my own fruit instead of the flavor packets that came with it. I’m 230 pounds and my goal is to lose at least 30 in the long run. So far i haven’t really been hungry but when it gets close to dinner time i’m ready to eat for sure. I will update this review in a month to let others know what iv’e lost.
Amy Mann – :
I have been doing the Body By Vi shakes for about 2 months now. I have to say that I LOVE THEM!!!!! I have lost only 13 lbs, but I have lost 12 inches of fat!!! I have dropped from a size 16 jeans to a size 9. I do 2 shakes a day, 2 snacks and a sensible dinner! Lately we have actually been eating out for dinner….. I am still losing. Most people get discouraged by what the scale says… I say toss out the scale and go by a measure instead!!! Its not the weight that matters its the figure!
These shakes have enabled me to give my body some amazing nutrition that has been super easy for me!!! I generally keep my shakes right around 300-320 calories… anything less I am starving and anything more I just wanna eat! I use almond milk in mine as it has lower calories, make a smoother better tasting shake than regular milk….. I add Hershey's cocoa powder, ice, a banana and 2 scoops shake mix to my 8 oz of almond milk every morning! Yummmy!!! I could go on and on and on about these, but I really do not want to bore you…. BUT of all the diets I have tried… Advocare, Herbal Life, MediFast, Alli, Atkins, Weight Watchers…. nothing has worked for me as well as this!!! Thank you!
Sasha1013 – :
I just had my first shake and it tastes awesome. I’m very fussy when it comes to a shakes texture and it was good, not thick or chalky. It is a very sweet flavor so if your sensitive you might want to try something else or alterate it. I added chocolate PB2 and it mixed very well with it. Hopefully I will lose weight with it. I’ll update after I finish the month.
Marti420 – :
This is a great product. The shakes are delicious. The banana flavor is my favorite. I would recommend this to anyone who thinks most protein shakes are disgusting, like me.
T. Giboney “tgg2f9″ – :
This stuff tastes like vanilla slim fast powdered shake mix. It is, however, healthier with less calories, fat and sugar content than slim fast. I mix it with almond milk, which has few calories. It is best when blended with ice. It does a good job of keeping me full and satisfied when I have it for breakfast. Some of the mix-ins are good. Banana is my favorite. The orange and peach taste strange if you don’t use ice to make it colder. Overall, if I am buying a diet shake product I would choose this one over slim fast or shakeology.
The J man – :
Don’t forget you have to work out that is the key to everything. Take the shake and get off your butt’s and work out you will lose more.
WORKOUT!!!!WORKOUT!!!!!WORKOUT!!!!
Linda L. – :
I’ve really enjoyed using the shape kit. I purchased it for the first time about 8 weeks ago and I can definitely see weight loss results.
My husband was wondering what I was doing differently and when I showed him the kit he was really skeptical at first but then once he looked at the ingredients in the shake mix he said he was impressed with the quality in the ingredients.
He knows more about nutrition and stuff like that than I do so I trust his opinion and I definitely trust the number on the scale. I’m looking forward to this number continuing to go down and I’m glad I tried it.
Nanette – :
The seller was prompt with the shipment. I didn’t contiue with the diet when I finshed both bags because it didn’t work as well as I wanted it to for me. I only have about 15 lbs to lose but a friend of mine has more and she has been very sucessful with it. I did end up losing 3 lbs and a few inches but that was it my friend has lost quite a bit and a lot of inches. I did the shake for breakfast and lunch but I felt like I was starving myself so by dinner I wanted to eat a horse. Also be careful if you use some of the shake recipes online if you add to much to it then it isn’t such a low calorie shake. It flavor of the shake is good you don’t have to add much to it.
sarah – :
My parents actually talked me into trying this shake. My mom lost 14 pounds in 2 months just by walking with her neighbor and drinking the shakes. My dad runs alot and was stuck at a certain weight. Once he tried the shakes he lost another 10 pounds. I just had a baby two and a half months ago, and for the last 2 weeks I have not lost a single pound. I was burning 500 calories a day at the gym 4 days a week, walking 2 miles 2 days a week and eating lots of salads, bur I could not lose those last 10 pounds of baby weight. I started the shakes on Friday, having one for breakfast and one for lunch. I have already lost 3 pounds and its Wednesday morning!! I mix the shakes with frozen fruit, sherbert, etc…trying to keep each shake under 300 calories. I also eat two granola bars as snacks throughout the day and for dinner I have whatever I want (thin crust pizza, salmon, grilled chicken and spinach salad) and dessert. I have enough energy for a good workout at the gym, and its nice seeing results so fast. Yes, its expensive, but you will not spend less than 90 dollars on breakfast and lunch for an entire month anyway, so go for it!! 7 more pounds to go for me…wahoo!
Alyssa – :
I could not have been more pleased with my purchase! It actually was a brand new kit with everything you would get from someone working for Visalus but at a lower price.
Chris y. – :
I usually hate protein shakes but this one is good and it keeps me energized in and out of the gym. I think I’ve tried every single kind of protein shake that there is and this is the best tasting and the best value for the good quality ingreidnets that has. I suggest you try this is you’re looking to get more bang for your buck and you want to lose weight or get ripped.
steve ekquist – :
i LOVE THIS STUFF IT IS A GREAT MEAL Replacement and it save me grocery money i cant argue with that. since i have been taking this stuff roughly 2 months ago i have lost 10 lbs but the shake are the only thing that i changed in my diet and daily routine since it winter i cant go running outside and i dont have the cash to buy a treadmill or spend on going to the gym since i am saving for a wedding. cant wait till spring to see what this stuff does when i put in action with daily exercise!
Rob Love – :
I like this shake but I don’t really care for the flavor packets. I think the shake is better on it’s own with some almond mix. This keeps the calories pretty low but still makes its really filling. This is a good product for anyone that’s trying to lose weight and the shape kit is great because it comes with two bags so you can drink them all month without running out.
brookefroman – :
I recently attended a body by vi party. At this party I met a man named Sean and he told everyone his story. He started body by vi for many reasons,
1. lose weight
2. health reasons
3. live a long life
he weighed over 300 pounds when he started the shakes. he went to the doctor because he was experiencing unusual headaches. to his surprise the headaches were the least of his problems. his cholesterol and blood pressure were through the roof! his doctor told him if he didn’t change his lifestyle he estimated he would die in the next 5 years. Definitely a scary thought to a 35yr old father of two. After the not great results of medication and dieting he decided to try body by visalus.
He has been doing the transformation kit for 6 months and has lost 100 pounds!! cholesterol and blood pressure regular. he started to workout about 4 months into his shakes. he is walking proof that these shakes really work. He is an inspiration to many people in our area.
trust me I’m always a skeptic when it comes to things like this. I just ordered my shakes and I’m excited to start my healthy journey!
Laney – :
Super excited to tell everyone how much I love the Visalus shape kit. It’s honestly the best thing I’ve tried for weight loss so far and I’ve tried everything….weight watchers, jenny craig, even the p90x workouts. Nothing has really worked for me because I have a really hard time sticking with stuff like that but I’m actually enjoying these shakes. The flavor packets that you can add help because you’re not always having a boring chalky shake. In fact, even without the packets this shake tastes really good it does not have a chalky flavor and it tastes like cakes like it’s supposed to. This product is good for me and I think you should try it if you want to lose weight.
Conceptsalso – :
Hmmm….let’s see.
1) They taste great and make my morning routine MUCH easier. I drink mine with milk to make it a full meal…I use water in a pinch. The water based shakes aren’t horrible, but the milk is better. The mix-ins are fine, except for the peach (that one is gross).
2) I actually drink the shakes for the nutrients…and that is where I notice the difference in my body. And for that reason, I would buy it again. As far as weight loss…eh. You still need to cut back on eating and be sure that you’re exercising. Thanks.
BTW, a scooper is included in each bag of protein powder.
Regina – :
My package actually arrived EARLY. I’m shocked at how great the customer service is at this company and I’m even more shocked by how yummy these shakes are. The shape kit is great for someone like me that’s trying to lose weight and get tone so I can wear a bathing suit and feel confident and beautiful by this summer.
RV – :
Wife enjoys the taste of this product and is losing weight.
I think as long as you watch what you eat, have a diet plan/eat health this will work for you.
Elizabeth H. – :
Really like this product. Fast shipping and really friendly customer support when I call. I’m losing weight quickly and the shakes taste good, especially with the flavor mix in packets. Will be buying lots more!
Sandry311 – :
I bought ViSalus last spring, and started taking it the last week of March. I wanted to lose some weight before we hit the beach for vacation in June. I had a shake for breakfast and one for lunch, along with an apple or grapes in between, and a sensible dinner. I worked retail, so I was walking a lot during my shifts. At the end of April, I had lost 20 pounds exactly, dropping from 180 to 160. The weight has also stayed off since then, even though my eating habits have been crap. I haven’t had a ViSalus shake since April, because quite frankly, I was burned out on them. I’m not big on fruit in my shakes, so I was drinking them plain, with unsweeted almond milk.
I have another month’s worth, and have been gearing up to start it again, because I would like to hit my pre-baby weight of 130 again. Just 30 pounds to go! I just don’t know if I’m ready to commit to drinking the same thing twice a day, EVERY day. It tastes just like white cake batter, which is awesome, and cures my sweet cravings for the day. I would definitely recommend this, but more for people who enjoy mixing it up with different things, and making something different each time.
I love fruit! I just… don’t like it IN things.
Angeles – :
I think this is a really good kit to start out with if you’re not familiar with vislaus because it comes with all the basics you need. Some of the other kits can be sort of overwhelming because they come with all of these extra bells and whistles like protein bars and stuff but this one just comes with the two shake bags and the flavor packets. I’ve been on this kit for over a year now and I’ve lost 37 pounds. I’m a brand new women and I feel great.
This shake is good for newbies and visalus pros alike. It’s a great purchase if you’re looking to lose weight.
Paul Platz – :
I first started drinking these shakes because I wanted to gain a little bit of weight. My mother had purchased some from a friend and so I tried some of hers before I bought them. I’ve tried a couple of the mix ins but I honestly prefer either mixing frozen fruit in or drinking them plain (well, made with vanilla soy milk). These have been the best tasting protein shakes that I’ve had. They aren’t grainy or chalky at all. I add scoops to my family’s green smoothies for breakfast and if I’m worn out at the end of the day, I sometimes make a shake with chocolate soy milk and let my girls eat it for dinner with some frozen vegetables. With chocolate soy milk it tastes a lot like a frosty from Wendys (or at least how I remember them tasting)- very yummy!
katied – :
Well I got these shakes to help me lose some weight from having my child. I have been using it for about a week and a half and so far have lost around 7 lbs. With a little exercise and watching my calories has helped me to lose the weight. However when it comes to teh taste of the shake. It is awful tasting to me. I tried using milk to drink the shake but it made me have nausea, I now use O.J. and chase it with some water so I don’t have residue or an icky taste in my mouth. It is easy to follow and worth the money for how much weight I have lost. I will update after the first 30 days to what I have lost so far.
LiMa – :
I drink a chake every morning. This shake is different from other meal replacements because it seems to have the least amount of calories and it is the nest tasting one. I also love the add-ins because it means that I can have something different each morning instead of the same thing every single day.
Pen Name – :
I enjoy using the product. It has a good taste not like some of the other diets products I have tried.
Coach’s wife – :
I started making shake after having my baby. Not only does it help with weight loss, some days it is the only thing I have time to make to eat. I just use a gnc shaker and water. Easy and has a good taste! Flavor mix-ins taste horrible.
Craig Schwarz – :
It works for me and friends & family……
Diets at best did not……….
I lost 7 pounds the first week, ate sensible over the weekend, the next week started again for 4 days, went off of it for the labor day weekend holiday,are sensible, started again and so far 9 pounds.
SArchey – :
I just started these shakes so I don’t know what the weight loss results will be yet, but basically, with any diet plan you need to exercise and watch caloric intake to lose weight. One serving (2 scoops) is 90 calories, plus whatever you add such as milk, yogurt, fruit, etc. I have never been a fan of diet plans using shakes because they are usually not great tasting and kind of chalky. This stuff is delicious! It tastes like cake batter, seriously. It keeps me full too, which I didn’t think would happen. For weight loss, you need to know one basic principle; 3500 calories is equal to one pound of fat. So, to lose 1 pound a week, you need to cut your current calorie intake by 500 a day. You have to take into consideration you BMR, but you can find that almost anywhere online so you will know how many calories your body burns at rest, then you can calculate how many calories to cut and how many calories each exercise burns. I recently discovered (after being sick a long long time) that I have a gluten allergy. These are gluten and lactose free, which makes meals a lot easier for me, I don’t have to read every ingredient on every single thing I eat. One meal a day is easier to calculate than 3. Snacks are easy because raw veggies and fruits don’t have gluten. I will try to come back and update if possible on weight loss, but I assume it will work if I stay within my allotted calories.
Valerie A. Clanton – :
Not only does it taste good but it keeps me full (unlike other canned shakes you can purchase at the store). Can use with chocolate soy milk and coconut milk for less calories and a better taste.
bballfan17 – :
Product arrived on time, in perfect condition.love the flavor, wish it wasn’t so pricey. Great if adding fresh fruit to make a thicker shake but it can also just be mixed with fat free milk for a quick meal.
Tim – :
This is a great way to get more protein in your diet without eating too many calories. The shakes themselves taste really good even without the flavor mix ins but I’m glad the flavor packets come with this kit because the flavors make it so you never get tired of drinking the shakes. Glad I bought this and I guess only time will tell if it helps me get the lean and tone body I’m going for.
Scott f – :
Great tasting shake and the flavor mix ins make it even better. Lately my go to shake has been using the strawberry mix in flavor packet and then adding a half of a banana, some non-fat greek yogurt and some skim milk. This tastes really good and it’s only about 200 calories. I love drinking this for breakfast or at work for lunch if I’m too busy to leave the office to buy lunch or I want to save money. Pleased with my purchase thanks to the makers of this kit.
LKF “hummer enjoyer” – :
This is the best tasting weight loss drink I have ever drank. The mix ins are great especially the orange and chocolate ones.
Nanny – :
My husband and I have been drinking the shakes for three weeks now and we really like how they taste. We’re glad we found something healthy and easy to make for breakfast.
Tweetygirl “Tweetygirl” – :
You HAVE to add items to the drink in order to not feel faint. It is delicious and filling, but need more calories.
Heath Johnson “n2johnson” – :
It is funny to me how this product tastes. I assume most people buy this because they are on the heavier side (like me) and want to shed some pounds. Yet this stuff smells and tastes like cake batter! So all you want to do after you smell it or drink it is eat a pastry.
I have used this here and there. One reviewer said he started taking it at night and that is when he saw the difference. I hate breakfast and so I try to start with that, drinking a “breakfast” is easier for me than to sit down and eat anything for breakfast. I have noticed weight loss, in the first month or so. Nothing dramatic, but a nice change in the tightness of my pants
I will say that I work hard to exercise everyday, although my life style doesn’t always lend itself to that. The other thing that I have done is stopped eating at night. Nothing past seven, and if I cave, I eat something like almonds. I have also pushed the plate away when I am full and I make less for each meal. I am 6 foot two inches and a former college football player. I am in the habit of making large meals and eating them. I am now learning to just make something small and see how I feel after. Surprisingly I feel full after most small meals. The shakes do fill you up. I use skim milk when I make mine and that works very well. I got the flavor packets too and that adds nutrients and those things. It does not add a whole lot of flavor, just so you know. But the original flavor is good. Make sure and shake it very well, otherwise you’ll get a gritty feel. And wash your container immediately after, otherwise it clings to the cup and it becomes much more difficult to get it clean.
Cynthia – :
Excellent product and tons of great reicpes on the visalus website. Some of my favorites: 1. Cookies and Cream 2. Peanut Butter and Chocolate 3. Pina Colada 4. Turtle Cheesecake. The funniest thing is absolutely none of these sounds healthy but I’ve lost weight drinking them. Forget every fad diet you’ve ever tried or considered and try Visalus. You really won’t be sorry and you’ll love the recipes.

Shake arrived really fast and they taste good. Been drinking two a day now for a week and I’ve lost FOUR pounds! That might not seem like a lot but it’s a lot for me because I’m not very big plus it’s only been a week. So I’m very happy.

I thought this was a soy based product. Which, I guess it is but it has more whey products than soy. The ingredients are deceiving. It also has an ingredient that slows down digestion, which makes it all the more painful. Again my own fault for not looking at the ingredient list and taking a friends (who is a rep) word for it. I’ve been mixing them with fruit, peanut butter, mint, oats, coconut milk, almond milk, or rice milk. Vanilla or chocolate taste best. They taste delicious but my stomach is horribly angry. I was going to try to finish out the month but I’m pretty miserable after a week. You will need to eat a small snack between breakfast/lunch and lunch/dinner. For me it depends on what I eat for dinner if I will need a snack the next day or not. Something small like a few crackers or a piece of fruit should do. I’m very glad I decided to buy them on Amazon than from ViSalus. It was around $20 cheaper and free shipping! I’m sure for the correct person these would work great. That is why I did not give the item a bad rating. I also believe there are more healthier products out there.

Awesome purchase. I’ve been on this for a little over a month and I’ve lost four inch so far – this is huge for me. I have been wanting to lose weight like that for years now so I can fit into my old clothes and I’m really happy to see this is actually working for me. I was hestitate to buy this because funds are tight for me right now but I’m glad I did because looking and feeling great is worth a million dollars and this was worth every penny.
Thanks to visalus for making this challenge kit!

I’m only 15 years old but I really wanted to leave a review about this product. My older sister first got it to lose weight and she let me try it because I’m trying to build lean muscle at the gym because I’m really skinny right now and I like the kit. She didn’t really like the flavor packets so she gave them all to me and I really like them. The strawberry is really good and so is the orange. You can even mix some of the flavors together and its great. I drink one in the morning before school and then another after school about one hour before the gym. I think it’s making a difference at the gym and it’s helping me build a better body even at my age. It’s a really good shake I think.

I will be the first to admit – I dont follow through with anything. Period. (as far as weight loss is concerned anyway). I have been doing Body by Vi in spurts. For about 2 weeks, I will be religious about it, lose a SIGNIFICANT amount of weight and then get distracted and stop for a bit. I KNOW if I just keep doing it, it will work wonders. The taste is pretty good as long as you blend it with something. I generally do strawberries or raspberries. It does work, you just have to make sure you follow through with it!!!
