mst 1 Posted September 22, 2011 has anyone tried the Visalus protien shakes. I have been taking them for a bout a month and they are REALLY good. Mixed with soy milk and 1tsp coffee and ice tastes just like a frappacino from starbucks. I drank them twice a day for the 2 weeks before my suregery and lost 8lbs and then have been drinking them - much smaller portions though- since my surgery last week and I've lost another 8 lbs since my surgery.

I did. It is the most disgusting thing I have ever drank. So bland and bitter I don't know how anyone would have the nerve to even take them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bromo 17 Posted September 23, 2011 From what I read on the net this is MLM company. Is that correct? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mst 1 Posted September 23, 2011 i'm not sure what a mlm company is. I just buy it from a friend of mine who sells it. I don't sell it.i just know that it is a product that i never get tired of- or havne't yet after starting it 2 x a day on sept 1. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Frank166 0 Posted September 23, 2011 Yes it is MLM and it's not that it's bad that it is an MLM business, but if you're going to be in that kind of business your products should be top notch and easy to take. First the shakes, with or without flavors, they're HORRIBLE! Another thing are the products to take for the Transformation pack. You have to take 10 separate products! I don't mind taking a few but I'm not a pill popper or human disposal for products. Definately NOT worth the money nor the results you probably get out of it.

lfreshwater 1 Posted September 23, 2011 i'm not doing anything but the shakes. I have tried them and I like them. I mix them with fruits and they taste really good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mst 1 Posted September 23, 2011 I have tried them and I like them. I mix them with fruits and they taste really good. me too. I'm not crazy about them when I have mixed them with Water, yogurt or skim milk, but the key for me is mixing it with soy milk - very vanilla or chocolate are my favorites. They are really good that way! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm not crazy about them when I have mixed them with Water, yogurt or skim milk, but the key for me is mixing it with soy milk - very vanilla or chocolate are my favorites. They are really good that way! I use the almond milk or a fruited yogurt and just a little ice to make them cold. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Try 8 Oz Almond Milk, 2 Scoops of Body By Vi powder 1 teaspoon of cinnamon 1 Tablespoon of Honey 6 ice cubes and blend SNICKERDOODLE...is it so good...no aftertaste or grit...this is my 2'nd week on them. Also, the BUTTERFINGER 8 Oz Almond Milk 2 Teaspoons of Instant sugar free butterscotch pudding mix (dry) 1 Tablesspoon of Reduced Fat Peanut Butter 6 ice cubes It is really the only Protein shake I have found that I like....I did the muscle milk that first two weeks post op and now if I even see in in the isle at Wal-mart I want to puke!!! Ha Ha The girl I bought it from gave me 5 or 6 pages of recipes....I have liked all that I have tried so far. Good Luck!! Stagegirl has anyone tried the Visalus protien shakes.

mst 1 Posted September 23, 2011 i've tried the butterfinger and it is really good. I havne't tried the snickerdoddle, but it is on my list this weekend. I am like you, it is the only one I found that I really like. And I've tried a bunch! lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Frank166 0 Posted September 24, 2011 Any shake over the counter can be good if you mix up all the recipes mentioned. Drink Visalus straight wit milk without anything and it's the most disgusting thing on the market. Visalus products is basically overpriced hype. There's really substance to their claim.

stagegirl 1 Posted September 24, 2011 I'm just saying I like them. If you don't that is OK. For me it is the only one I have tried that I liked. Believe me, when your starting weight was 357 you have tried your share of shakes over the years. LOL Good luck!

spoiltmom 44 Posted September 26, 2011 I tried them and they do taste good but IMO, they don't have enough Protein in them for a Lap Band patient. My other problem with them is they are soy protein. I have thyroid problems and I was told by my doctors to steer clear of soy and use whey protein instead. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
