Bought this for a Christmas gift for our boss....he has said he really enjoyed reading it. He said it kept his interest and was great that it was a short read for each story.

I would like to lose weight and am going to try protein shakes with exercise and a high protein, low refined carb diet. I like shakes and found the shakes or powder you can get at the market to be overly sweet and not very filling. The ViSalus flavor is "Sweet Cream"- not really vanilla, but more like a basic ice cream base. It serves as a great "vehicle" for fruit or cocoa to be added. It is not chalky or grainy. I BLEND with 8 oz. of skim milk, a cup of fruit, a cup of ice, 1 tsp of flaxseed oil and 1 tsp of Benefiber. I will add cocoa and or/natural, NSA peanut butter depending on flavor and caloric goal. It is very good and very filling. (I tried with a mixer bottle, and found I am not as satiated without the fruit and blended ice. Still, it does mix well.) I am not reviewing based on efficacy of ViSalus as a weight loss product, because I find that the results are often based on the person and not on the product. This is a delicious product and very versatile. I prefer buying it on Amazon. I am not going to sign up on the Body by Vi website because it is a multi-level marketing enterprise and I have no use for being emailed about "opportunities" or reduced pricing for autoship. I am also fluent enough in protein shakes that I don't need their site for access to recipes (many of which can be Googled or found on Pinterest). Still, if you are into that, then it might be worth it.

Not as detailed nor informative as I expected. Seems to talk around a subject intead of presenting facts.
