When I first heard of the Body by Vi Challenge, I was skeptical. I couldn’t help wondering if the 90 Day Body by Vi Challenge works.
You see, I’m a Chemist. I worked as a professional Chemist for years and I definitely think scientifically. I couldn’t believe that a shake could make me lose weight. I believe that weight loss is a simple equation; consume fewer calories and burn more calories. Fewer calories in your body equals weight loss. It’s as simple as balancing chemical equations. No technology needed.
So can the Body by Vi Challenge work? How does a shake make you lose weight? It’s not logical.
You’ve probably wondered the same thing.
Before My Visalus Challenge
Before I tried the 90 Day Challenge, I was stuck in a rut. I was afraid that Body by Vi was a scam. I didn’t believe that a shake could help me, but I had to admit that what I was doing wasn’t working. If I didn’t try something new, nothing would change.
For 5 months, I had tried to lose weight. I used my simple formula (eat less and exercise more), and lost a total of 11.5 lbs. Hardly a success. Not a complete failure, but still, .6 lbs/week for 20 long weeks is a lot of hard work for very little results.
To make matters worse, the entire 11.5 lbs must have come from my butt instead of my belly. My pants fit great but my shirts fit the same.
After 5 months on my own, watching every bite I ate, working my ass off at the gym, the only real thing I could claim is that at least I wasn’t one of those crazy shake drinkers.
Or was I?
Crazy Visalus Shake Drinker
Here’s where I had to admit some hard truths to myself.
Over the years, I had been drinking protein shakes. Quietly, discreetly, I’ve used shakes.
And if I’m honest, I’ve used them for at least 5 years, probably closer to 10. And you might even say I’m die-hard about using them.
For some reason, drinking shakes for protein made sense to me, but drinking meal replacement shakes to lose weight seemed like wishing on a star. How can a shake help you lose weight? It seems so foolish. So lazy. So unscientific.
I needed to get out of my comfort zone. If shakes give me protein for my long bike rides, why can’t they help me with my weight?
Maybe it was time to reboot my thinking.
Taking the Body by Vi Challenge
Reluctantly, I had to admit that eating less and exercising more doesn’t work, and drinking any ole protein shake from the health food store didn’t work, so why not take what I’m already doing and make it work?
As a chemist, I believe in technology. Technology changes the game. Maybe if I had better shakes, scientifically superior blends, the weight would come off.
I signed up for the 90 Day Visalus Challenge.
In 2 weeks since staring the challenge, I have lost 4 pounds. 4 pounds!! That’s one third of my previous weight loss in one tenth the time!
And best of all–I have lost 2 inches off my waist.
I feel great. I have a renewed sense of purpose.
All I did was swap my old shakes for the Vi-Shape shake mix. I eat the same as before, and I surprisingly I exercised 2 days less than my average.
- More weight loss
- Less time
- Less exercise
- No significant routine change
Can you think of a better weight loss plan?
For the longest time, I didn’t want to admit to myself that I was fat. Now that I have admitted it, I am hesitant to admit that I am losing weight.
I took off a pair of jeans the other day–without unbuttoning them.
- It’s probably time to admit that I am losing weight.
- And it’s probably time to admit that Vi-Shape shakes are scientifically superior to my old shakes. They are designed promote weight loss and that’s what they do.
- And most of all, it’s time to admit that the Body by Vi Challenge works.
Don’t work harder to lose weight–just get better results for the work you already do.

Wow Mike…
I’m impressed!!
You are looking great. Keep those pictures coming over the next few months!!

Deborah,
Thanks for the support. It was just like flipping a switch.
Emily took the last photos for me. I asked her if she could see a difference from the last pictures (because I wasn’t sure).
She said “I’ve been watching you for 20 years … I can tell a difference!”
Michael
Hate to say it Mike, but I told you so! Glad you got beyond the old (and erroneous) assumption that all calories are created equal. It’s not just calories in, calories out. It’s NUTRITION in, first and foremost!
Congrats on your success! Next will be increased energy levels!
Patrick,
You did tell me! It’s funny how old perceptions are so firmly fixed. Sometimes it just takes trying something different …
Well the genie is out of the bottle now.
I’m already starting to feel the increased energy levels, too!
Thanks for your help … and for ‘telling me so’.
Michael
OMG, I’ve only been taking it a week and I feel an energy increase! I love this shake, I just have to know I’m doing it the right way. The thing I can appreciate the most is the fact I don’t feel nervous once I’ve consume the shake.
Fabulous testimonial Mike!
Shanna,
Thanks. I appreciate your support.
Michael
Since you’ve had success with this shake could you tell me exactly how you took the product. I normally eat breakfast in the morning and substitute lunch and dinner with a shake. Also, do you take vitamins? I didn’t have any vitamins in the kit I purchased. Please help, I like this shake but I want to know I’m doing it right. By me being on the run a lot I don’t actually put mine in a blender, I shake it up in a cup lol. I’ve only being doing it about a week now. I notice the decrese in my appetite when I take the shake….I just need confirmation that I’m doing it right.
Claudia,
Sounds like you are having success – that’s great!
I use the Vi-Pak vitamins every day. I started when I was using the Transformation Kit and kept using them because I liked them so much.
I feel better when I have my protein rich meals (Vi-Shape) and my vitamins (Vi-Pak) and I can tell a difference when I don’t eat as healthy. For example, I had a couple of days around Thanksgiving that were high carbohydrate (pies!) and high fat (turkey gravy!) … and I just didn’t have the energy I’m used to having with regular Body by Vi Products.
