Mother of Two Loses Baby Weight And Becomes Vi Model

Another great story and testimonial today from a welsh mother Rosie Grech, who went and lost weight after having her second child and went on to become a Vi-Model.  

I have watched Rosie gain her transformation through using the vishakes and being on the challenge.  I was also there in Atlanta when she walked the stage as Vi-model and picked up the title for the UK.  

If you are a mother who wants to get her sexy back, then fill in the form to the right of the page and I'll get in touch to start you on your journey.

Juicing Is Now My Favourite Hobby!

I am having so much fun with my Vi shakes and Nutribullet combination.  

The health benefits from adding both vegetables and fruit to our shakes are enormous.  
In this recipe I have added Blueberries, ginger crystals, spinach and banana with ViShape mix, you can also add milk or non dairy substitute, juice or water - approximately 250mls. 

Blueberries are high in antioxidants, spinach high in iron and banana high in potassium all nutrients that your body needs, along with the tri-sorb protein and multivitamins and minerals in the vi shape mix, this will provide more than 21 grams of protein, more if you add milk to the shake, and the tri-sorb protein absorbs much more slower in the body, so for people wanting to lose weight, in simple terms you are less likely to get carb craves, and for those building muscle, it helps muscle repair so you will see better results quicker. 

So watch the video and let me know if you have any favourite recipes that I could try out! Leave them in the comments box below!

Look What Came In The Post?

So over the last 90 days I have been doing a challenge, my goal was to lose 10 pounds or more.  I took my challenge video at the start of my challenge, and entered it in the "I want it " site.  Then gave an update on how I was doing for every other day or so.

I must admit, this last challenge was really tough for me.  There was a lot going on in my life and in my home which made it difficult for me to stick to any sort of exercise routine. However I did manage to stick to my shakes. 

So all when my 90 day challenge ended and I stepped on the scales I was really surprised to see how much I actually lost,I feel better in myself, I fit more comfortably in my clothes.  

As a result I earned my "I lost it " T-shirt. I feel so proud to wear this t-shirt because it means I have helped to feed a child for a month under the Project 10 Challenge with the 10lbs I lost, and that child could be facing a battle either with malnutrition or obesity.  What better way to shed your pounds and help others.  

Now it is your turn.  I challenge you to take the Project 10 challenge! Click here to accept.

Bodybyvi Healthy Fast Food idea

So just because you are on a diet, doesn't mean you have to spend ages getting food ready, or have to calorie count, or watch how many carbs, proteins, salt and sugar you are about to put into your body.

I guess that is the point with the Vi Shakes, it is great full of essential vitamins, tri sorb protein, has the right amount of carbs and yada yada yada....

I have fun in the mornings, as there is just soo many different ideas and flavours to mix my vishake with. Check me out on Vine  where I share some vishakes with you.

I find the shakes filling, and I dont crave carbs or mid morning snacks.  It has helped me lose 27lbs in my first 90 day challenge, and there are lots more results available for you to view here : #viresults

Body by Vi - After workout shake!

Really important that you feel the body before and after your workout.

Before a workout you can have a carb shake, just mix your visalus shake mix with fruit juice instead of milk, other milk alternatives. This will give you energy that you need to carry out your workout. 

Make sure you hydrate properly during your workout and drink lots of water, small sips. 

Once your workout is complete, you should have a protein based meal within 30 minutes.  Why 30 minutes, well your muscles that you have been working out need protein to regenerate and guess what, if you don't get protein in your body quickly then your muscles begin to eat themselves, which really does defeat the purpose of you going to the gym and working out in the first place.

Remember muscle burns fat effectively, so if you do not build lean muscle, then your body will find it difficult to burn fat.

Muscle is also heavier, so when you weigh yourself, don't be alarmed if you actually do not see to be losing weight, if you are losing inches, then your programme is working fine, it just means you are gaining lean muscle.

Gaining lean muscle is important as we get older.  When our bodies age, our muscles tend to 'waste' away, and this can again cause man health issues, so ensuring that you tone and build lean muscles is equally as important as losing weight.

Good luck on entering project 10 and wishing you success on the challenge!

Body By Vi-Shape Shake from ViSalus Protein Comparison for Building Muscle

The core of the Body By Vi Challenge is the Vi-Shape Nutritional Shake Mix. This Article explains how the Vi-Shape Shake measures up to other protein containing shakes on the market.

 By Audrey Sommerfeld  Head of Nutrition, SVP Marketing ViSalus Sciences 

Vi-Shape shake is not just for weight management. It is for nutrition, body building, and for health. 

The shake when mixed with non-fat milk or soy milk delivers 20-25 grams of protein, which is the amount nutritionists recommend we get in each meal.

Now body builders claim they often need more, because they are trying to build lean muscle. This may not be true, as not all proteins are created equal. 

This is the key reason we don't put how many grams of protein on our shake and tout it like many store brands do. I say this because some brands pump up the amount of grams of protein by adding gelatin (great for skin/hair/nails, but not lean muscle). Some use dehydrated milk powder, some just whey. Those also are ok, but not the latest in science.

We use a combination of proteins because they act differently in the body. The soy is used because of it's heart health benefits. 

Adequate consumption of soy in the diet can help the body lower c-reactive proteins, an indicator of inflammation and possibly heart disease. Soy is also easily digestible, and a complete protein. 

Our soy is unique in that we use a non-GMO Soy (not genetically modified), and was specially processed to remove the isoflavones that can impact estrogen. While those isoflavones may be beneficial, we know that women with fibroids, muscle builders, and others worry about the impact of estrogen. Non-GMO soy is about 45% more expensive than regular soy, but we chose to use it because of the concerns some people have about soy.
 
We use a whey concentrate for fast acting hunger control. Then we use a unique whey hydrolysate, which is the latest technology and is very expensive. It helps retain lean muscle, and is very highly absorbed. While some wheys can be absorbed about 80%, whey hydrolysate is much higher. It is a pure, clean, and concentrated protein. Combine that with the Aminogen®, and we have more ingredients to help build, and maintain lean muscle while promoting fast loss.

So the 3 types of proteins help support heart health, bone health, muscle health, digestive health, and can help curb hunger quickly, and last too!

For athletes, it is recommended that they get protein into their body within 30 minutes after completing a workout. Protein will help the muscles repair themselves, and quicker. This is why Vi-Shape shake was designed to mix in water, and still taste great, and why we have it in individual serving packets. People can take the packet to the gym, and mix it in water and get it into their bodies quickly. The key points of difference are the quality of the proteins that we use (absorbability) as well as the fact that we added Aminogen®. 
Aminogen® is a patented, and clinically tested ingredient that has been shown to help the body better utilize the protein. This way, you get more nutrition into the body and the muscle. We are also lower sodium than most brands (have not found one yet lower than us).

Protein Intake for Building Muscle

A few bodybuilding and weight training coaches recommend protein intakes of 40 percent of energy; for example 40% protein, 40% carbohydrate; 20% fat. Let’s take a look at this. 

In the 4000 calorie diet of our 100 kilogram bodybuilder, 40% protein would be 1600 calories, equivalent to 400 grams of protein at 4 calories per gram. That's 4 grams/protein/kilogram body weight/day; over four times the RDI and twice what's scientifically defensible. Not good.

Fast and Slow Proteins

How quickly amino acids get transported to blood and how quickly they then get assimilated into muscle and other tissue for repair and rebuilding is the basis of this idea. According to some enthusiasts, fast proteins such as whey are superior to slow proteins like casein. Both are derivatives of milk products. Here are some values (Bilsborough 2006):

• Egg protein 1.3 grams/hour

• Casein isolate – 6.1 grams/hour 

• Whey isolate – 8-10 grams/hour

 
There's not much evidence that these variations make a difference to muscle building over the longer term, although whey has shown some advantage in short-term studies.

Yet the other useful information that can be gleaned from the numbers above is that with an average protein absorption of, say, 7 grams/hour, a theoretical absorption is limited to around 168 grams each day (24×7). If accurate, it makes the 400 gram/day protein diets look entirely unnecessary at best.

Very high-protein diets may not be safe over time for the following reasons:

• High levels of nitrogen and amino acids can be toxic.

• High-protein diets are not safe for those people suffering from chronic kidney disease. Up to 20 percent of the population may be undiagnosed.

Protein and Strength Athletes:

While endurance athletes are easy to convince of the need for a high carbohydrate, low fat diet, strength athletes are a bit harder to convince of the need for adequate carbs and moderate protein. Strength athletes have long adhered to high protein diets in order to build muscle. This idea of high protein = more muscle is a bit overstated.

According to the research of sports nutritionists, strength athletes require high carbohydrate and adequate glycogen stored in the muscle. They point out that all high intensity, powerful muscle contractions (such as weight lifting) are fueled with carbohydrate. Neither fat nor protein can be oxidized rapidly enough to meet the demands of high-intensity exercise. Adequate dietary carbohydrate must be consumed on a daily basis to restore glycogen levels. 

In fact, research shows that high protein/high fat diets can hurt performance. An inadequate amount of carbohydrate in the diet can result in:

• Reduced muscle glycogen stores in the muscle and liver

• Decreased endurance

• Decreased maximal effort

• Decreased serum glucose levels

• Increased risk of hypoglycemia

High protein/high fat diets can also have a negative overall impact on health, including the following:

• Increased risk of certain cancers

• Increased calcium excretion and increased risk of osteoporosis

• Reduced intake of Vitamins, minerals, fiber and phytochemicals

But Don't Strength Athletes Need More Protein To Build Muscle?

Research hasn't shown this. In fact most strength athletes get far more protein than is necessary to promote muscle synthesis. 

The current protein recommendations for optimal muscle building in a strength athlete is 1.6 – 1.7 gm protein per kg of body weight.

For a athlete weighing 90 kg (200 pounds) that is a total of 145 – 154 grams of protein a day [about 3 small chicken breasts]. There is no scientific evidence that more than 2.0 grams of protein per kg of body weight has any additional benefit in muscle strength or size.

So What Should an Athlete Eat? 

The recommendations of sports nutritionists continues to show performance enhancing benefits. These general guidelines are:

• 12-15% of daily calories from protein.

•  25-30% of daily calories from fat.

• 55-65% of daily calories from carbohydrates

• An athlete’s nutrition plan should be individualized to meet the needs of training and competition.

•  Carbohydrates are the primary fuel for intense muscular efforts, and should be the cornerstone of an athlete’s diet, regardless of the sport they play.

Nutritional Shakes and Weight Loss

 It has been clinically proven that Herbalife nutritional shakes can aid weight loss if instructions are followed.  Dr David Heber Md, Ph.D, F.A.C.P, F.A.C.N  heads up the Herbalife Nutritional Advisory Board and has worked in the nutritional industry for a number of years.


It has been proven that nutritional shakes with additional protein can aid weight loss if they replace one or two traditional meals.  The idea being that a nutritional shake has less calories than a regular meal, but contains all the nutrients and vitamins needed  and can be absorbed and digested more effectively as it is in liquid format. 


Protein is an important component of the make up of our cells.   Protein is used by the body to build and repair tissue, it is present in your hair and nails and we also use protein to make enzymes, hormones and other chemicals in the body. Protein is an important feature of muscles, skin and cartillage and is a macronutrient.  Our body is not able to store protein, therefore we need alot of it. 
You do not have to eat a lot of protein to get the benefits, but you are able to eat better quality protein instead of just animal protein, there is a lot of protein in fruit and vegetables as well as fish.

Adding protein in a powder format is probably more effective than eating lots of meat. Protein also inhibits the urge for carbohydrates, therefore stops the craving for cakes and sweet things. I have personally found if you have enough protein in your diet, you also find you do not eat much bread if any but that's my personal finding.  

Formulated with an excellent balance of macro and micro nutrients, Formula 1 has been scientifically proven to be an effective way to control and manage weight when combined with a healthy active lifestyle.
