Visalus Review
Is there a Body By Vi Scam?
Let me clear this up immediately, not only do I not advocate the Visalus shake, but I am a direct competitor.
But that does not make this company or it's meal replacement shake a scam. Truth is, just because it is a network marketing company or "MLM", people right away want to call it a scam, or a pyramid scheme. I am here to tell you this is just simply NOT the case.
Another reason why some people may think that there is a Body by Vi scam can be seen in the short video to the right. They love to promote the fact that their reps get a free BMW, and I think this rubs some consumers the wrong way.
Visalus Nutritional Value
Though it is certainly not a scam, Visalus can in fact be a little misleading in the marketing of their product and also in their comaparisons to other meal replacement shakes. In fact, they love to claim that there shake has fewer calories than some other shakes. When the truth is they leave out the fact that you have to add milk to it, which in turn, raises the total number of calories per shake. And you HAVE to add the milk or Body by Vi only comes in at around 90 calories, thus technically keeping it from officially being able to be considered a "true meal replacement" by industry standards. Not to mention the way that they are able to keep the calorie count so low - artificial sweetener. Sucralose to be precise, which is by no means a "natural" ingredient. They also don't tell you that in their program you are told to drink two shakes a day. So, not only is the nutritional information skewed, but so are their price value claims.
Despite constant rumors, this meal replacement shake is not a scam -
Though, it may not be as healthy for you as they claim it to be.
Nutrition Fact:Did you know that the company even states on their website that you can just add water to their mix and drink it as a "healthy" snack? But you MUST add milk to it in order for it to be a meal replacement.
And this is only if you consider artificial sweetener "healthy".
Visalus vs Shakeology
When you l
ook at the cold hard facts, there just really is no comparison b
etween these two products. One is made with over 70 of only the most natural, whole-food ingredients, and is completely free of artificial flavors and sweeteners. One is a solid meal replacement shake, while the other is a healthy snack at best, depending on your definition of healthy. One is a nutritious, once per day shake that provides your body with all of the nutrition it needs to help you lose weight naturally, boost your metabolism, increase your energy, and help lower your cholesterol and blood pressure. The other is a shake that you need to drink twice per day. One has three delicious flavors to choose from, chocolate, greenberry or tropical strawberry (which is vegan). The others comes in just one flavor, take it or leave it.So when it comes down to it, is Visalus' Body by Vi shake a scam? No. It is just an inferior shake compared to Shakeology!
