I was on my 2nd day of the challenge when I started to notice my face going numb and itchy and getting headaches. I immediately recognized the feeling and knew I had missed an important ingredient. So I went back over the ingredient list and what I thought was Sucrose was Sucralose, artificial sweetener. Not only can I not do artificial sweeteners, I wont do them. It was then, that I had to cancel my website and quit the promotion. Knowing what I know, I cannot promote a product with artificial sweetener. I cannot promote something that I, myself, will not put in my body. Given that, I will also say, I quit the promotion but I didn't give up believing in the product. So I didn't leave with bitter feelings. PLEASE NOTE: Not everyone has this reaction to artificial sweetener. You know your body and you know what it likes and doesn't. I stopped drinking diet soda years ago because of this same exact reaction. I cannot have even sugar free chocolate chips because of this reaction. It is my bodies reaction, not everyones, so make your own call.
With that said...I will say that a lot of people have had great success on Body By Vi. I believe that if Body By Vi is what you need to push you towards a healthier lifestyle and you don't care about the artificial sweetener than 100% go for it. Body By vi is not the devil because they use sucralose. Many companies do and many people don't care. The fact is a lot of obese people, don't care what they put in their body, which is why they are obese (STOP! I didn't say every obese person.) So truthfully their choice to put artificial sweetener into their bodies, could be a better choice than what they have been putting in there. Its an individual choice and I fully support that.
Again, Body By Vi works....IF you want it to. If you don't have success, its because you didn't want it that bad. I for one, did not have success but that's because I did not want the sucralose. I still fully support bringing on a new healthy lifestyle and that means so many different things to so many different people.
With a over a month of review on the product, good and bad, I still say there is way more good then there is bad. Because some people have allergies to some products, does not make it a bad product. Because some people need to chew food, not drink it does not make it a bad product. Anyone who says, you starve yourself on Body By Vi, clearly does not know what they are talking about and was doing the challenge all wrong. The first day on my challenge, I ate so much food and drank my shakes and still failed to reach my caloric intake. That, is only because I made great food choices. If the snack you choose is loaded with fat and carbs and calories, you only have yourself to blame for feeling starved. I for one am used to drinking my meals, I prefer it. I also already follow a pretty healthy lifestyle, therefore I believe this challenge would have been super easy for me. I find it funny that in my research of the product, it was the obese people who lived a life of unhealthy eating, who complained most about "How you starve yourself", and thats only because they don't know how to utilize healthy food choices to give you the most food for less calories, fat and carbs.
Just because I choose not to promote the Challenge, does not mean I don't support it. I highly support any challenge that will take you away from your fast food, pizza, soda and sugar habit and get you out of an obese lifestyle and into a healthy lifestyle.
With that said, should you still be interested in trying the challenge yourself I still have a friend that was very successful on the challenge who sells it. Let me know if you are interested and I will head you her way.
Oh one last thing, A huge shout out to the Visalus customer service. Without any problem, I was able to call and cancel my order and my promoter package and receive a full refund of all money paid. They truly do stand behind their product and do offer a money back guarentee with no questions asked. In fact, I didnt even need to ask for the refund, they offered it. Thats customer service!
