So here is the deal. The Body by Vi is a shake mix that you can add to just about anything, and I do mean anything. You can add fruit; such as pretty much any kind of berries, bananas, mangoes, and/or apples. You can make it Vanilla, Cookies in Cream, Lemon cheese cake (though why you would want to do that, I have no earthly idea) or ... wait for it ... CHOCOLATE!
As originally reported, I have been making chocolate shakes, with one little foray into the Berry world (but I liked the chocolate so much that I quickly went back!). I have switched from 2% to Non-Fat to Almond milk and have found that I LOVE Almond milk and especially LOVE that its only 35 calories for 8 ounces, as opposed to 90 for Non Fat!
I have also switched from using unsweetened cocoa to pudding, as the pudding helps thicken it and make it more "shakey" without adding a lot of calories. Every once in awhile I add in peanut butter too! It obviously ups the calories and the fat grams a bit, but makes for an awesome awesome taste and since it is more of a meal replacement a few more calories is ok, as long as I account for them somewhere else.
So here is my Day on Vi.
Morning Shake
Snack - Since I have a coffee addiction, my snack is usually my mocha.
Lunch Shake
Snack - Small salad or String cheese or Hard boiled eggs depending on what I feel like
Dinner
Small Late night type of munchy depending on the calories I have had that day.
You don't necessarily have to count calories on the 90 day challenge and in fact most don't. But since my body is quite temperamental and I want to do this right (and I am anal-retentive) I am counting and journaling everything.
So where am I after just 1 week?
Weight:
-1.2 lbs!
Inches: -5!
Not bad, not bad at all! The pounds could come off a bit faster, but look at those inches! 5 inches in just a week! HOLY COW! That is just awesome! And while I want the pounds to come off for the surgery, its the inches that honestly matter the most!
I can handle this!
