Anyone heard of Body by Vi?

A friend of mine is starting with this, and of course invited me to her pyramid scheme marketing, high pressure sales 'party' ("Sign up three other people and your starter kit is free!!").  I declined and would never do anything like that, but I watched the videos because I was curious and another FB friend of mine posted her before/after photos on the program.  Also, that FB friend 'won' a new BMW for meeting her weight loss goals.  I'm not sure how it works with winning free trips/cars, but she posted pictures of her picking out the new car.

Anyhow, I think it's so stupid that people think drinking a shake will make you healthier than, I don't know, eating a balanced diet, cooking (rather than eating out or eating pre-packaged meals all the time), and drinking heavily.  This friend never cooks, and lost weight in the first trimester of her last pregnancy because she stopped drinking.  Now she regularly goes binge drinking (she posts FB photos of these nights out), and it just makes me roll my eyes.  Either you want to be healthy or you don't.  It's not rocket science.  She's always doing something gimmicky like this, as if there's a magic pill to make you skinny.  

Just wanted to vent about this.  Anyone heard of it?

    My mom started using the products about 3 weeks ago.  She has had severe hot flashes and menopausal issues.  She said since using this she has lost weight and she hasn't had the hot flashes or menopausal issues.  Hope this helps.

    I haven't heard about this. But I can guarantee you that any weigh she looses will be temporary. This kinda diets do not work, you can't live off of shakes and not eat healthy real food. Its like you said in your post, its all about clean and healthy eating and making smart choices. Anyway, I feel you with all of this, but since she is your friend, just try to support her on her decisions as much as you can.

    I'm actually doing Body by Vi, and I LOVE it! I have a ton more energy, don't feel sluggish, and even though I ate decently healthy before, I do feel MUCH healthier now. The ammount of  nutrients in one shake is rediculous, so I absolutely believe it's helping me be healthier. Plus it's cheap, tastes great, and yes..... you can get a BMW. Someone I know got one after only 60 days with the company. Another friend lost 8 lbs in her first 10 days without even exercising.

    It's not a gimmick, it is for real. On a distributor end of it, I got my next month free, plus recovered my start up costs within the first week.
