What is unique about the Vi-Shape®
Nutritional Shake mix ?
There are so many unique benefits, and ingredients, so here are a few:
It
tastes amazing! We
call it the “Shake mix that tastes like a cake mix”. If you do a blind
taste test vs. other shakes, you’ll see that many have either a gritty
texture, can have a bitter or metallic after taste that lingers. Other
shakes can smell bitter, or like chemicals. Ours is different because
of the unique, high quality ingredients that we use.
Our shake is lower in sodium, fat, and carbohydrates than other
shakes. Many companies will use sodium to make the bland ingredients
taste better, fat to make flavor carry, or add sugar to mask bitter
notes. You can see from our comparison chart that we surpass the
competition, due to our high quality.
Our shake is diabetic friendly. Many shakes use sugar, fructose,
or other sweeteners that can spike blood sugar. This may result in low
energy, hunger, and more. Ours has no added sugar, and is diabetic
friendly.
We use 3 specially processed proteins. This provides fast, and
long lasting hunger control, and can also help maintain lean muscle
while targeting fat. Our shake has been specially processed to remove
lactose, remove fat, remove carbohydrates, and remove isoflavones from
the soy that can impact estrogen. Therefore, body builders, those
sensitive to hormones can use our shake.
We include ingredients that other shakes don’t. We include
digestive enzymes to help maximize protein absorption, prebiotics to
support the bodies detox process and digestive health, vitamins,
minerals, calcium, and more.
Affordability.
There is
simply no other shake that matches what we offer, for the price! By
having a shake a day you can not only help fuel your body with powerful
nutrients, but you can save money too.

add flavor and nutritional benefits to the shake. Other companies may
make you buy multiple canisters of product, which just sits there on
your counter. We wanted to help control costs, and add fun to your day

How
does the Shake help me lose or maintain
weight?
The shake can help you lose, or
maintain weight depending on how you
use it. To lose weight, we recommend using it in place of 2 meals per
day, along with sensible snacks (like the
ViSalus
Nutra-Cookie™ ), and
meal. You can use it for any 2 meals. To maintain weight, we recommend
that you have 1 shake per day, and ideally for breakfast. Why is this?
Well, if we compare the shake blended with non-fat milk (or soy milk or
rice milk) and fruit, the shake will provide 20-25 grams of protein, a
full serving of fiber, calcium, prebiotics, digestive enzymes,
vitamins, minerals, and more, all for around 240 calories. If we
compare that to an ‘average’ breakfast of a bagel with cream cheese,
small orange juice and coffee with non-fat milk, you can see we provide
more nutrition for less calories. The ‘average’ breakfast can add up to
around 720 calories, and a whopping 880mg of sodium. So by having a
shake, you’ll fuel your body, help keep your blood sugar level, and
save calories to help you keep the weight off. We also recommend it for
those people that don’t eat breakfast (almost 40% of adults don’t eat
breakfast). By not eating breakfast, the metabolism can slow and you
may end up eating more calories per day while slowing the body’s fat
burning system. Your body is like a car, it cannot run without fuel and
it cannot be ‘trained’ to do without. So the shake once a day helps
keep the metabolism going, keeps you energized, and helps cut calories.
Twice a day and you’ll see greater results.
And we also recommend
Vi-Slim®
to help burn calories without jittery
feelings or stimulants, and
Vi-Trim®
added to the shake to help keep
hunger at bay.These two products add powerful added support and can be
bought separately, or as part of the
Body
by Vi™ Transformation kit .
Can the
shake help me gain weight?
Absolutely! For those who want to gain
weight, or even add muscle, the
Vi-Shape Nutritional Shake mix can help Simply add a shake as a
beverage with any meal, or use between meals. For those who exercise,
having a shake mixed in water within 30 minutes of finishing a workout
will find that it may help the muscles recover easier.
Can I use
only water for the shake?
The shake was designed to mix in water
as a healthy snack, for after a
work out, or to be mixed in milk/soy milk as a healthy meal (milk and
soy milk provide more protein, and more calories). The goal is to not
cut too many calories, or the body can feel that it is in starvation
mode and slow the metabolism further. The U.S. government recommends
that we consume a minimum of 1,200 calories per day. So if you do use
the shake mixed in water, you may want to use 3 scoops instead of 2, or
make sure you have a Nutra-Cookie along with the shake mixed in water
to provide adequate calories.
Is it
nutritionally sound? Is it safe?
The shake is nutritionally very sound,
and based on incredible science.
It is based on healthy nutrition, and getting the daily requirements
your body needs to feel healthy. However, those who are pregnant or
lactating, gastric bypass patients, ulcer patients, and anyone known to
have a medical condition should consult a physician prior to taking
this product or any nutritional supplement.
Why
artificial sweeteners?
We use sucralose for taste, and also to
keep our products diabetic
friendly. It is unfortunate that there is so much confusion and
misinformation about sweeteners. Sweeteners have received bad press,
primarily because of aspartame, which degrades when heated (it is safe
when cold) and tastes bad. People that are allergic to artificial
sweeteners tend to be allergic to aspartame.
Sucralose has been found safe both in hot and cold applications, and
has had over 110 peer reviewed studies completed. This is why Sucralose
has been approved by over 80 countries globally. I like to say that
many people feel the FDA approved drugs too easily (i.e. Vioxx, Phen
Phen), so that if you trust other countries more (several globally are
more stringent), then looking abroad is a good benchmark as well. We
use a very small 0.03 grams per serving, which is about 1/3 of the
amount in a diet cola.
We know that several people would prefer we use Stevia or Xylitol
because they are natural. Xylitol is a natural sugar alcohol.
Unfortunately it causes diarrhea in approximately 20% of the
population! To get the same amount of sweetness in NEURO, we would need
about 1 tablespoon, which can be toxic or fatal to a 40 pound dog. It
also has not been approved globally.
Stevia is a sweetener derived from a plant. It has only recently been
approved in the U.S., and is still in process of being reviewed
globally. There have been some concerns on liver toxicity, and so there
may be more studies needed. The manufacturers of Stevia have recently
published some safety data, and many countries are now re- looking it
as a sweetener. It does impart a licorice type flavor, that some people
do not like. We have been trying to work with stevia in some new
formulations, but are struggling to make them taste good.
I’ve been asked a lot about agave recently. Agave is nothing more than
high fructose syrup...about 90% fructose. Fructose has many properties
but one bad one is that it increases appetite and this is exactly
opposite of what we want in a weight management product.
We do strive to make our formulas as natural as possible, while
balancing taste, texture, safety, efficacy and stability. We are
looking at some promising natural sweeteners coming on the market
(there is one from Japan that is very promising). Our hope is that we
will be able to replace sucralose to alleviate those concerns, but for
now have not found a suitable substitute that tastes as good, has as
much research, and has global approval.
Who should take this product?
Anyone interested in losing or
maintaining weight, or who want to
balance their daily nutrition with a perfect meal. We encourage those
on serious medications, women who are pregnant or lactating, or those
who are not in good health to consult a physician before starting our
program, or any weight management program or nutritional supplement.The
shake (with your doctor’s permission) is safe to use 1 scoop for
children 4-12 for additional protein.
