How to use Body by Vi Transformation kit for maximum results

2013-03-11T01:43:20Z

How to use Body by Vi Transformation Kit

The number one recommendation for weight loss for those with 30 pounds or more to lose is to use the Body by Transformation Kit.

Because there have been many questions about how to use the Body by Vi Transformation Kit, I felt it would be proper to share how I used the Body by Vi transformation kit to meet my results of losing 140 pounds, and show you detailed instructions for using the transformation kit to get maximum weight loss results.

Body by Vi Transformation Kit

When you receive your Body by Vi Transformation Kit, you’ll note that the products have a number on them. This is to show you how each product has been scientifically designed to work with the other ingredients in your kit. You should have:

2 bags (60 meals) ViSalus Vi-Shape Shake Mix

For weight loss, you will drink two shakes per day, replacing two meals. A healthy meal plan is essential for success with the Body by Vi shakes. By replacing two meals, eating two snacks and having one healthy meal a day, you will reach your goals sooner. See my post: How many calories should I eat per day to lose weight with Body by Vi for more detailed tips on setting a daily calorie goal. Eating too few calories will hinder your results, so it is important to set a sound plan, and stick with it.

Vi Slim Metab-Awake Tablets (30 day supply)

Designed to “wake up” your metabolism. Vi Slim meta-awake tablets are designed to help you burn fat, while protecting lean muscle, without making you jittery.

The Vi-Slim will help your body’s natural fat burning process, helping you to lose extra weight. There are also all natural ingredients to

Take one Metab-Awake Tablet with your breakfast shake to jump-start your metabolism, aid in appetite suppression, all while enhancing your mood.

Next is the Vi- Trim Clear Control. (30 servings)

This is a caffeine free, all natural appetite suppressant, which has 1000 mg of Garcinia Cambogia, an herbal supplement recently heralded by Dr. Oz as the “newest, fastest fat buster”. You can read my product review of the many benefits of Vi Trim Clear Control here: What is Garcinia Cambogia a key ingredient in ViSalus Vi-Trim Appetite Suppressant.

Add this to your breakfast shake, mid afternoon beverage such as the Neuro energy drink, or even a cup of hot green tea. This will significantly cut your cravings for bad fats, and sweets, helping to put an end to weight loss sabotage.

Body by Vi Health Flavor Mix Ins (10 assorted)

Variety is the key to success, and the assorted health flavor mix ins help you to mix up your shakes, create amazing shake flavors and recipes, which will keep you motivated on your 90 day challenge.

The healthy flavor mix ins are packed with phyto-nutrients and health benefits as well. Check out just some of the amazing tasting Body by Vi Shake recipes you can use here: My Favorite Body by Vi Shake Recipes

Omega Vitals – Double distilled Omega Essential Oils (60 servings)

Unless you are eating 3-5 meals with Salmon, mackerel or sardines, chances are that you are not getting enough of the Essential Fatty Acids your body and brain needs to promote healthy heart and body functions. Essential Omega vitals help to lower cholesterol, brain function, lower blood pressure and more. In addition, Omega vitals can drive bad fats out, and help your body to turn off the fat storage message in your brain. Omega vitals are great for helping to get rid of belly fat, which can in turn lead to healthier heart function.

Take one capsule in the morning, and the other before capsule before going to bed for best results.

Finally, there is ViSalus Neuro Energy Drink (30 servings)

Why drinking a Body by Vi protein shake for Breakfast will help you lose weight

2013-03-01T06:28:57Z

One of the biggest objections that I hear from Body by Vi Challengers who are trying to lose weight is “Why do I have to drink a shake for breakfast? I’m not a big breakfast eater.”

I like to blog about the questions that I hear frequently, and since this is a topic that comes up often with my customers and potential Body by Vi challengers, I’ll answer that question here.

Why drinking a Body by Vi protein shake for Breakfast will help you lose weight

According to research studies, people who skip breakfast do not typically have the same success with weight loss and management, as those who eat breakfast on a daily basis.

Here’s an example of why this occurs.

Imagine that your body is a wood burning stove, and think of food as the fuel that keeps that fire burning.

When you wake up after a full nights rest, your wood burning stove is very low on fuel. This affects your metabolism.

Drinking a Body by Vi protein shake for breakfast will wake up your metabolism, and start that fire burning again, which will give you energy to start your day off right.

Skipping breakfast may make you more likely to overeat later in the day to make up for the missed meal.

Kathleen Zelman, MPH, RD, LD, director of nutrition for WebMD

Why drinking a Body by Vi protein shake for Breakfast will help you lose weight

According to the blog article by written by Dr. Oz panel expert Lisa Lynn, drinking a protein shake a day for breakfast is a fantastic way to “drink yourself skinny”. Her blog article “Breakfast Shakes: drink yourself skinny” cites the following benefits to drinking a breakfast protein shake.

“Drinking a protein shake first thing in the morning is a simple, foolproof weight-loss method. When you drink the right protein shake, you give your body the nutrients it needs and you can also:

Boost your metabolic rate by 25%.

Save calories by avoiding fatty foods (if you drink a shake for breakfast, you can save an average of 400 calories per day).

Keep your blood sugar levels balanced, allowing your body to burn stored fat as fuel.

Increase your energy levels, which enables you to increase your activity and automatically burn more calories.”

source: DrOz.com

Protein shakes for breakfast should be consumed within a few hours of waking up in the morning. Doing so will help you to avoid the temptation to overeat, or “make up” calories that were missed from the meal that you skipped.

Not big on breakfast, or don’t wake up hungry? Make a commitment to start each day with your Body by Vi breakfast shake anyway.

You’ll find that it won’t take long before your body begins to wake up ready and hungry for the most important meal of the day – doing so will begin to show in your weight loss results, helping you to meet your weight loss goals.

What is Garcinia Cambogia – a key ingredient in ViSalus Vi-Trim Appetite Suppressant

2013-03-14T16:12:50Z

What is Garcinia Cambogia?

The internet is buzzing with queries related to Garcinia Cambogia thanks to a recent endorsement of the extract by Dr. Oz.

Dr. Oz states that taking Garcinia Cambogia will help your body to burn fat quicker, and more efficiently.

Garcinia Cambogia is a key ingredient in the ViSalus appetite suppressant, Vi-Trim.

What Is Garcinia Cambogia?

Garcinia Cambogia is also known as tamarind, a small, pumpkin-shaped fruit that is native to Indonesia.

It has long been used in soups in certain villages in Malaysia, used to make the meal more filling, and is typically consumed prior to meals, for appetite suppression and weight loss

The ingredient from the rind of the fruit could hasten your weight-loss efforts. This natural extract is called hydroxycitric acid (HCA), and researchers claim that HCA can double or triple one’s weight loss.

With proper weight-loss efforts (dieting and exercising), the average person taking HCA lost an average of four pounds a month.

Garcinia can also work very well for emotional eaters. In addition, participants of a study of the supplement noted overall mood improvement and sleeping patterns.

How Does Garcinia Cambogia Work?

Garcinia Cambogia for Weight Loss

The HCA extract from Garcinia Cambogia Extract aids in weight loss by doing two things: It helps to block fat, and it suppresses your appetite.

HCA blocks fat by inhibiting a key enzyme that your body needs to make fat from carbohydrates: Citrate lyase. When HCA inhibits citrate lyase, the fat-making process is halted and the production of LDL (bad cholesterol) and triglycerides decrease.

In a study involving 60 obese men and women, the group is given Garcinia Cambogia for eight weeks. And HCA was found to help people lose weight in comparison to placebo group who took dummy supplement.

ViSalus Vi-Trim Appetite Suppressant contains Garcinia Cambogia

In addition to Garcinia Cambogia, ViSalus Vi-Trim contains:
2. ChromeMate™ – A globally patented chromium complex that plays an1. Patent-pending herb blend that mixes clear, and won’t alter the flavor of beverages or foods.

important role in proper insulin function, maintenance of healthy bloodsugar and cholesterol levels, normal energy production, and promotion of
healthy body weight.
3. CitraMax™ – An all natural, safe, and effective plant extract derived from
Garcinia gambogia which has been clinically proven to suppress appetite,
and inhibit fat production.
4. PEA – Assists in managing the stress of dieting, which can affect your mood.
5. Carnitine – Derived from an amino acid, it helps with energy production
which can help you lose weight.

First Round of Body by Vi Project 10 winners announced – 10 lucky winners receive a cool thousand in cash

2013-02-21T08:21:28Z

First Round of Body by Vi Project 10 winners announced

The all new Body by Vi Challenge officially kicked off Project 10 with 10 hard-working winners walking away with a very cool Project 10 t-shirt and $1000 to reward their efforts in losing just 10 pounds!

You can watch the recap of the first round of Project 10 winners here:

So, what exactly IS Project 10?

The concept of Project 10 was conceived by the brilliant marketing minds at ViSalus, after researching and documenting literally thousands of Body by Vi Transformations and 90 day challenges..

They found that the key to success for the majority of their Body by Vi Challengers was all centered around the first 10 pounds of weight loss.

By encouraging and rewarding Body by Vi Challengers to stay on track to lose the first 10 pounds with fantastic incentives and rewards, not only are challengers more likely to lose that first 10 pounds, they are also more likely to continue to their final weight loss goal.

What can I win with Project 10?

Project 10 participants are all winners when they lose 10 pounds. Everyone who participates and reaches the goal of 10 pounds of weight loss will win a free “i lost it” t-shirt. They are all ALSO entered for a chance to win a $10,000 weekly prize pool – every week, 10 hard-working contestants will be awarded $1000!

Project 10 and the ALL new Body by Vi Challenge has been designed specifically with the challenger in mind. The founders of the Body by Vi Challenge wanted to create an incentive that would appeal to the majority of people in the US who are having issues with their health related to weight, by offering a creative way sprinkled with cash incentives to make losing weight fun, and help to set up “small wins” that keep challengers motivated and inspired.

America has the highest obesity rates in the world, with the staggering and shocking statistic that over 64% of adults in the United States of America being classified as overweight or obese.

While the New Body by Vi Challenge is targeted as a solution to helping to end the obesity epidemic, the New Body by Vi Challenge and Project 10 are not geared solely toward weight loss. Those who are looking to gain weight and lean muscle mass can also take part – and by gaining 10 lbs can enter to win as well!

One last thing…Did we mention that there is a 90 day, money back guarantee? Seriously, what DO you have to lose, but weight?

90 day money back results guarantee

Congratulations to the first round of weekly winners! The ALL New Body by Vi Challenge is now in full force, with 6 Brand New Reasons to Join The challenge

My 90 Day Challenge Results – and a NEW 90 day Challenge Starts Today

2013-02-17T18:54:16Z

Hey everyone,

As you know, I have completed my latest 90 day challenge and I’m happy to share my results.

In October of 2012, I started my latest challenge with a confession, I had NOT set a 90 day challenge goal prior to October, and I paid the price for it! You can read about what I discovered during that time frame here: October 1, 2012 – A New 90 day goal.

The goal that I set for myself during that 90 day Challenge was to lose the weight that I had gained back (15) pounds, plus get to my goal weight by December 31st.

Here are my results: My goal for this last 90 day challenge was to lose 35 pounds.

Here is my before picture taken on October 1, 2012 – Starting weight 151

Here is my after picture taken December 31, 2012

My current weight as of December 31, 2012 is 132 pounds for a total weight loss in 90 days of 19 pounds. Total over all inches lost was 21 inches from every area: arms, waist, and thighs!

I’m starting my ALL new Body by Vi Challenge as of January 1, 2013. My new 90 day goal is to get a Brazilian “booty” as well as more defined abs and of course, lose the last 16 pounds!

Here’s my challenge to you: Join me in the 30 day squat challenge!

I’m counting on you to hold me accountable to this 30 day challenge! If you’d like to join along, please feel free to friend me on Facebook.

Just shoot me a message along with your friend request letting me know that you would like to do the January squat challenge, and I’ll make sure you’re surrounded by the awesome community of other ViSalians who are challenging themselves to meet their fitness goals by summer.

Am I disappointed that I didn’t lose the entire 35 pounds? No!

Actually, I’m happy with what I have been able to carry out.

I could have given up and gone back to the old habits and ways of thinking that led me to eat myself almost to death, resulting in my weight topping in at over 276 pounds.

Instead, I decided that having come this far, I knew exactly what to do – get back up, brush myself off, not beat myself up about my mistakes, and move FORWARD.

90 Day Challenge

What are your goals? In case you haven’t heard, The Body by Vi Challenge is ALL NEW beginning January 5, 2013. I’m so excited to see what they’re rolling out, and I’d love to have you as an accountability partner.

Interested in getting started with the challenge? Call me! 424-226-2308.

Happy New Year, Happy New YOU!

How many calories do I eat per day to lose weight with Body by Vi

2013-03-18T22:55:13Z

How many calories do I eat per day to lose weight?

Here’s another great question that I answer for my customers – I hear it at least once a day, if not more.

In my blog post: Body by Vi Transformation Tools – Empowering your success with The Challenge, I share several reasons why you should become a customer of an authorized promoter of the Body by Vi Challenge, vs. purchasing your product online through a third party auction site.

Here is how you can use these tools to help you to stay focused, know how often you should eat, know WHAT to eat, and know how many calories that you should consume daily for the maximum weight loss.

So, to answer your question “How many calories should I eat a day to lose weight?“, I will be directing you to your body by vi back office, to the tab that reads “Challenge“

Select Transformation Tools from the pull down menu.

You should be looking at a screen that looks like the one below.

The tool we’ll be using to answer your question “How many calories should I eat a day to lose weight?” is the Metabolism Calculator.

Input all of the highlighted areas and take note of the calories you burn each day, based on your current weight.

To calculate the amount of calories that you should eat per day, you will need to take the amount of calories that you currently burn per day, and determine how much weight you would like to lose per week during your 90 day challenge.

A pound of fat is equal to approximately 3500 calories.

To lose weight, you will need to trim 3500 calories from your weekly diet, or the equivalent of 500 calories per day in order to lose one pound.

On average, it is considered “healthy” to lose no more than 2 – 3 pounds per week.

How many calories do I eat per day to lose weight?

Each metabolism is different, so the higher the amount of calories that you burn on a daily basis, the more calories you can consume, and still lose weight. As an example, If you burn on average 2500 calories per day, in order to lose 2 pounds per week, you would need to trim 1000 calories per day, consuming no more than 1500 calories per day.

Based on my health and experience, my metabolism was much slower than 2500 calories burned per day. My doctor recommended a daily calorie intake of no less than 1200 calories. He also recommended that I add some moderate to low impact exercises to boost the amount of calories that I burned per day, giving me room to consume a little more, if needed.

To stay on track with the amount of calories that I consumed each day, along with the calories burned during each workout, my calorie tracker of choice was the Iphone app for Livestrong.com. Using a calorie tracker is a very important key to success with any diet plan that you try. Studies show that those who track their calories double the results of those who do not. Use this 90 days to establish positive habits that will seal the deal with your results, helping you to avoid gaining the weight back that you worked so hard to lose. You can read more about why tracking is so CRUCIAL for long term weight loss here: Top Ten Weight Loss Success Secrets with Body by Vi.

Accelerate Your Body by Vi Results with these low impact exercises | Improve Body by Vi Results

2013-03-15T17:59:59Z

Improve Body by Vi Results

“How do I improve my Body by Vi Results when I’m limited to what exercises I can do?”

Here are three low impact exercises that you can do along with your 90 day challenge, to improve your body by vi results, even if your limited to the exercises that you can do.

Exercise One: Elliptical Machine Workout

Use this exercise to improve Body by Vi results and burn tons of calories with this NO impact workout. Just 45 minutes at a moderate pace can burn up to 350 calories.

Add in the upper arm component for more calorie burning. This is an exercise that is ideal for those who need some form of exercise that is easy on the joints.

Prior to using the elliptical machine, consult with your doctor and seek their advice as to whether this exercise will work for you.

Exercise Two: Walking

Walking has many benefits, including studies that show that those who walk on a regular basis have a lower risk of developing diseases like diabetes.

Walking is A low impact exercise that can be done for 30 to 45 minutes three to four times a week, with the amount of calories burned averaging around 150-180 calories. If you haven’t exercised in a while, start walking for about 10-15 minutes per day, and gradually work up to the recommended time of 30-45 minutes. You can also accelerate the calorie burn by walking at an incline on a treadmill. Walking at an incline can double the amount of calories you burn per session.

Improve Body by Vi Results

One of my favorite forms of walking is hiking. I never thought that I would ever like hiking, but I love the feeling of walking out in nature, the smell of the clean, crisp air, and listening to the birds sing. This burns calories at an amazing rate, and when you do it with a friend, it doesn’t feel like “work” in the least. You also meet some amazing people along the way!

Exercise Three: Swimming

If you suffer from arthritis, or are severely overweight as I was, swimming is a fantastic way to get some physical activity in.

It will help you to build your strength, and even a slow to moderate pace will be rewarded with a good amount of calories burned.

On average 30 minutes of swimming laps, at a slow pace will burn about 300 calories.

Again, if it has been awhile since you’ve exercised, gradually build up to 30 minutes per workout, starting with 10 minutes, and working up 45 minutes per workout over time.

When you become a customer with the Body by Vi Challenge, you automatically get access to POWERFUL transformation tools to help you reach your Body by Vi goals, including an exercise tracker, and meal planner. I’ve put these tools together for you in this blog post: Body by Vi Transformation Tools – Empowering your success with the challenge. If you are interested in knowing more of the tips and strategies that I used to lose over 140 pounds on the Body by Vi Challenge – Check out this blog post: Top Ten Weight Loss Success Secrets with Body by Vi.

Now you have the tools, the top ten success strategies. and even some exercises to help you WIN with the Body by Vi Challenge – Start your New Year 2013 off by getting a jump-start now:

Body By Vi Challenge Winner

“I won, I am a Winner in the Body by Vi Challenge!”

Challenge Winner of the Body By Vi Weight Loss Program

Lonnie was addicted to delicious junk foods, red bull, cheetos and Mountain Dew. Not only did Lonnie enjoy these tasty treats but indulged in fast food three times a day. Think about what that can do to someone’s body plus Lonnie was a truck driver, sitting in his truck driving approximately 13 hours a day. As the pounds kept piling on, Lonnie wasn’t sure what to do as this vicious cycle continued day in and day out. Lonnie became frustrated over his weight and then a few friends stepped in. As chance would have it, Lonnie’s friends Tony and Rhonda had been part of Visalus for over four years. They contacted Lonnie and suggested he take part in the Body by Vi 90 day challenge. As Lonnie read the testimonies and reviewed the product, Lonnie felt he had nothing to lose and jumped at the change to take part in the Body by Vi 90 Day Challenge. So Lonnie jumped on a plane to attend a Visalus national event and participated in the Fusion Academy.

Body by Vi Challenge Winner

When Lonnie began the Body by Vi Challenge, his enthusiasm took over,”I’m ready, let’s do it!” When talking with Lonnie, he states that he was on the road to diabetes and extremely overweight. Smart enough to know that he needed a lifestyle change, he ordered and purchased the Transformation Kit.

My new 90 day challenge – Day 30 of 90 – Results Update

2013-02-17T19:19:21Z

“Attitude – Don’t wish things were easier, wish you were better…” Jim Rohn

Today is day 30 of my new 90 day goal. My goal is to lose 35 pounds by December 31, 2012 and reach my goal weight.

Over the course of two years, I have lost over 140 lbs, and as I have shared in my earlier post, Oct 1, 2012, A new 90 day goal, I failed to plan out a new 90 day challenge the last quarter, so I failed to reach my goal of being at my goal weight. Instead of staying on the path of continuing my weight loss successes, I was confronted with an ugly truth – “If you fail to plan, plan to fail.”

For me, one of the biggest obstacles that I have faced during this season of change is confrontation. That includes confronting myself with transparency when I fail. It is very easy to look to outside circumstances and others as a source to blame our failures, but it is very difficult to be truthful about the reasons that we hit a wall, or let ourselves down.

The enemy of success is clear: Failing to acknowledge our previous failures can doom us to repeating the same mistakes, over and over.

What I have done differently:

Accountability: Success can be measured in small steps, repeated consistently, over and over. By continuing to repeat these simple steps, we find ourselves at our goals at a much more rapid pace, than if we try to “wing it” as we go along.

Taking responsibility is crucial for success in any area of your life, meaning that we cannot simply look at the things that we do right. We must be open to looking at the things that we fail to do, and that we fail to acknowledge, in order for true change to come.

In addition to losing the last 35 pounds, I have added personal development as a new 90 day challenge. I want to “hard wire” these constructive habits as a part of my daily living. Currently, I am reading the “Compound Effect” by Darren Hardy. My goal is to read at least 10 pages of this book every day, and to continue to read quality self-development materials once I have finished reading this excellent book.

Darren Hardy states: “Have you ever been bitten by an elephant? How about a mosquito? It’s the little things in life that will bite you… as long as you’re making choices unconsciously, you can’t consciously choose to change that ineffective behavior and turn it into productive habits. It’s time to WAKE UP and make empowering choices.”

I also have a wonderful accountability partner, Midori Miller. We speak on a daily basis, setting daily goals and tasks, and hold each other accountable to completing these tasks.

Tracking: I am using a calorie tracker with my Iphone. In Darren Hardy’s book, he talks about the power of tracking, and how effective and powerful it is, regardless of the habit that you want to change. Want your finances to change? Track every penny that you spend for a week. Write it down. Pretty soon, you won’t want to bring out that tracker (notepad, Iphone) to write that choice, and you’ll begin to make better choices. The same goes with food. Once you’ve tracked for a week, looking up that extra fattening goody, and logging it will make you stop to think about making the choice to eat it, and you’ll make better decisions about how you nourish your body moving forward.

Transparency: Be honest with yourself, and others. There really is no reason to lie about your results. If you do, are you getting any closer to your goal? And think about it – if you are telling others how great you are doing on your program, with no physical results or proof, who are you really fooling?

Now, for my results to date. I started my new 90 day challenge on October 1, 2012. I have lost 7 pounds, which means that November will be a month for me to step up my game, adding more exercise into the mix. Oh… and there IS a tracker for that!

Have a blessed week!
