Ashley here....About a month ago, I received a sample packet of Visalus in the mail from Visalus Distributor, Shelley Chambers. If you're like me, you've heard of Body by Vi. It's everywhere and promising to give you weight loss results. Not only that, Visalus promises to make you feel better, to curb your appetite, and to make you want to crave healthier foods. Are all these things true? Yes! I can honestly say, YES! I've lost 11.4 pounds on Visalus so far. I had been using it before Shelley sent me the sample. I love it! Shelley has lost over 39 pounds and 41 inches so far. She's down 7 pant sizes! Go Shelley!
I use the $49 Balance Kit (1 shake a day). Shelley uses the $99 Shape Kit (2 shakes a day). There are several different types of kits for sale depending on how you want to transform your body. I started out replacing my dinner with a shake but soon changed to drinking a shake a day for breakfast instead. I couldn't live without my shakes. I crave them. I make mine with 8 oz. of skim milk, 2 scoops of shake mix, and then I add 1 tsp. (sugarfree butterscotch Jello powder, malted milk chocolate powder, unsweetened cocoa, OR sugarfree swiss mocha) to my shake and blend. I will say this.....You have to play around with the flavors to see what works for you. I do not like mine with frozen fruit or ice. I do not like mine mixed with peanut butter or pumpkin pie filling. I do not like cherries or liquid flavor oils in mine. A banana is delicious, though. You can purchase flavor packs for your shakes, add your own flavors from what you have at home, or you can just drink it plain. Remember the shake tastes like cake so a plain shake tastes like sweet creme. You can also try yours with almond milk, soy milk, rice milk, or coconut milk. I love that there are so many options. Each time, you order your shake mix, it will come with some flavor samples for you to try. My favorite Visalus flavor is chocolate. The others-strawberry, peach, orange, and banana are not for me.
One shake = 90 calories, 7 grams of carbs, less than 1 gram of sugar, 5 grams of fiber, and 12 grams of protein, plus whatever milk you use and flavorings. The shake mix is gluten and lactose free.
I know you're asking if Visalus is right for you or not. Well, I know several doctors and nurse practitioners that sell it. I spoke to my doctor and she said, "Go for it!" Pregnant mothers can drink it as long as they make sure they intake enough calories throughout the day. Children 4 and up can drink it, too. My 4 year old loves for me to make him a shake from time to time.
I feel better on Visalus. It is filled with so many vitamins that you can't help but feel better. There is one more downside to it, though. It gives you energy and while that is a definite plus, it can be a negative. How? Well, when you have so much energy that you stay up til 12 or 1 am night after night after night, it eventually catches up with you. That is what happened to me. Don't get me wrong, the shakes do not make me hyper, just energized. I want to be active. I want to stand more and not sit. I guess you could call it the anti-lazy shake. :)
Who do I know that uses them? My mom does. She is a diabetic and her A1C levels were the lowest they had been in 6 years according to her doctor. She just saw him a few months ago. My mother-in-law does, as well as her co-worker. Several of my friends use it and several of my friends are distributors (sellers). I'm not going to get into being a distributor but I will say that as a customer, you get your own website. What you do with your website is totally up to you. I share my website with friends when they want more info on Visalus or are thinking about ordering some. If you get 3 friends to purchase Visalus kits from you within a month's time, you get your next month's shakes for free (You just pay shipping). It's not a gimmick. It's reality! For the past 2 months, my shakes were just $6. Six dollars is the cost of shipping and boy do they know how to ship fast. You will receive your shakes within 1-2 days after ordering. Their customer support team is awesome, too. I know because I've had to call them twice before.
Bottom line, if you've been thinking about making that New Year's resolution come true, now is the time. Contact Shelley and she will set you up with a sample. I know you will love Visalus! To come: Nikki will review Visalus and offer a giveaway from Shelley. Thanks again, Shelley!
P.S. The box makes a great toy for your small child. See picture below!
