Shakeology verse Body by Vi

I am continuing with my series that is comparing Shakeology with other products. Today I am going to compare Shakeology with Body by Vi (TM).

Body by Vi (TM) is created by a company called Visalus. It is a weight loss shake not a meal replacement shake like Shakeology. It comes in a few flavors. The base kit is $49 and includes 30 servings of their weight loss shake and 5 servings of the Flavor Ad In. From their website you'd use "1 ViSalus Vi-Shape® Nutritional Shake per day for a healthy meal or after a workout to support lean muscle" and "ViSalus Shape Up™ Health Flavor Mix-Ins for flavor variety and healthy benefits".

Per their website "The program provides two full meals, and all the nutrition you need to be healthy and help transform your body." Therefore you need to double the base kit for the 60 meals needed for this program. The cost is now $98 per month.

They claim to help control appetite but I've had a few friends mention to me that 30 minute after drinking these shakes they were hungry again. I can go 2.5-3 hours before being hungry after my Shakeology.

Here is the ingredient labels for what is included in the base pack:

Vi-Shape™ Nutritional Shake Mix

Shape-Up™ Health Flavor Mix-Ins
Banana Energy Charge

Shape-Up™ Health Flavor Mix-Ins
Peach Complexion Care

Shape-Up™ Health Flavor Mix-Ins
Orange Everyday Defense

Shape-Up™ Health Flavor Mix-Ins
StrawBerry Phyto-Power

Shape-Up™ Health Flavor Mix-Ins
Chocolate Cardia Care

By looking at the labels you can see that Body by Vi (TM) has many artificial flavors and sweeteners. It also contains caffeine, milk and soy.  Shakeology has no artificial sweeteners or flavors. Also Vi Shake (TM) doesn't give you 100% of the daily vitamins and nutrients that you need to operate at optimal capacity. Shakeology gives you many vitamins and nutrients at 100% of the daily value.

Here is a comparison of Shakeology vs. Vi Shape (TM)

 Again Shakeology as a meal replacement shake is much more robust that the weight loss meal replacement shake of Vi-Shape (TM).
