Does the Body by Vi diet work?

Monday, December 5th, 2011

A close friend has recently been testing the Body by Vi diet. In a word, Yes. he personally, lost 6 1/2 lbs. in one week. Read what he has to say, as I interview him about his experience with the Body by Vi diet below.

Is it safe? I believe so. It consists of meal replacement shake which, honestly taste soooo good, it is hard to believe that it can be good for you…..my favorite recipe is the shake mix, with one half small banana, four or five strawberries and one cup of skim milk. Unnnnn-believable. I found that I was full, sometimes too full to the point of feeling stuffed, like I ate too many pancakes. I found my energy levels to be quite level with no apparent, crashes or slumps in the mid-morning or afternoon. The Vi-shake is made up of only the highest quality premium ingredients containing ….well, I really can’t explain it as good as their website does.

How much weight do you plan to lose? My ultimate goal……..is 110 lbs.

So you have a way to go then? Yes, but really, I’m simply amazed by this stuff. You do your weigh in, measurements and stuff, start the program. You just replace any 2 meals with a shake, and thats it. I have one in the morning another at lunch, and eat a regular supper or dinner. I haven’t really thought about snacking in the evening. After only 2 days, i stepped on the scale, you know, just to see, and boom, there it was in the glass, I actually stepped off the scale and back on, yep, I’d lost 3 lbs. It was a great feeling. You know, and I know, I don’t have time to eat properly, maybe it is just poor time management, but the fact is I wasn’t getting my proper nutrition……I’m a guy. So losing 3 lbs. in 2 days made me feel very positive about the road I am on.

Don’t you think you could manage your time better, to eat properly? Well maybe, but i’m weak willed, I guess, call it what you will, at this stage in my life I have all thes deadlines, got to be here, there, everywhere, there is only so much time in the day. So i used to stop at mcDonald’s or somewhere like that and grab something, cause i knew I had to eat. I never really thought about it before but since I’ve been on this diet, I started looking around on the net to compare what I’m doing now to what i used to do, so I found this article that said a Egg McMuffin had 300 calories, 12 grams fat, 5 grams saturated fat, 260 mg cholesterol, 820 mg sodium, and only 2 grams of fiber. And what I thought would be a healthy choice, like a sit down type breakfast was even worse!

What would you normally have for breakfast? Well forget about a muffin and a cup of black coffee! I wouldn’t last 10 minutes and I’d be wanting more, so normally, I would eat say some scrambled eggs, 3 or 4 strips of bacon, 3 pork sausages, some multi grain toast, and a glass or 2 of milk……that would keep me full but that is a 1400 calorie breakfast…

Wow! So you find this to bewiser choice for you, I think that its great, but what about the cost? Yeah, thats the great thing about this, it costs less than 4 bucks a day. I used to spend that on cans of Coke.

And you don’t any more? No, i mean, I haven’t had the craving for them like I used to, not that I dislike Coke, but I think I seemed to grab them for energy, just to keep going. I don’t seem to feel the need for one.

So you would recommend others like yourself, to try the Body by Vi? Yes, without a doubt.

And I think, so would I.

keep your blood sugar steady.

Oats are much the same as barley…….jacked with fiber and cholesterol lowering
beta-glucan….you can even get these benefits from the quick oats. Eat Daily!!!!!!

Berries besides being high in fiber are loaded with polyphenols that help your cardiovascular

Lettuce, sugar peas, turnip greens, beet greens, or even swiss chard.

Lentils are at the very least a good source of protein…zero fat!

Five Foods to help Blast The Fat!

Saturday, March 6th, 2010

Most over-weight people don’t know about body fat reduction foods that when introduced into your daily living as healthy choices can and will help you lose the fat.

I reasearched and found there are variety of foods that can increase your metabolism. This means you will burn more calories, and lose body fat stores quicker by eating these types of foods.

Here is My list of Five Foods to help Blast The Fat!

Add tomatoes to your diet program. Tomatoes actually increase your bodies production of amino acids that increase your bodies call of calories
from your fat storage.

Spices are a very great way to get that metabolism all revved up, it’s like redlining your car’s engine at the drag strip.  The hotter and the spicier, the better it is for fighting the flab,  and the more your body has to work to
digest what you eat, also that means burning more fat in a shorter period of time.

Ya baby.now that’s what I’m talkin’ about!

Garlic is a like a road block to fat and further processes sugar to help keep the calories from going on you right from the start. So start adding garlic to everything you can.

Cinnamon is known to help to stabilize your blood sugar, and that means your body won’t factor valid those heavy fattening blood touch hormones as much.

Avocados are a healthy fat which helps you to burn stored fat further when you exercise. So grab that avocado before you head to the gym.

Chiles have capsaicin power them. Capsaicin releases your adrenalin, which speeds up your metabolism, think burning more calories, and keeps you from obtaining hungry as fast. Its also claimed that caspaicin also helps with those achy joints! Bonus!

Try some seafood for lunch.  If you eat seafood for lunch, you will eat less at dinner time.

Why?
It seems that Fish digests very slowly, which means you won’t be as hungry when it comes to dinner time.
Fish further keeps your body from producing  more fat storage hormones.

Don’t have time for a tasty fish lunch?
Then reach for the canned tuna or salmon.

Don’t eat carbs in the evening while getting together with your friends.  Carbohydrates consumed during the occasion keep you restless during your sleep hours.
A deserved night’s sleep is a must! Your body needs some rest after.

Drink plenty of H2O.  Be sure you drink enough water during each and every day.
Eight – eight ounce glasses of water is the figure doctors and health professional have been advocating.

If you are exercising heavily, or it is a strikingly hot day, make sure to get even more than the usual half gallon of natures best soft drink.

Finally, you should always secure your doctors blessing before beginning any new diet or exercise program.
