Default Anyone tried ViSalus??

A friend of mine is selling it and wants me to try it. I currently do smoothie's for breakfast with protein powder, and have had success with these. Just wondering if anyone knew anything about ViSalus? Had any weight loss success with it? Know anyone who's used it?

Thanks!

I'm not trying to be offensive but of course your friend that is making money off a product wants you to try the product. We here at 3FC generally don't like MLM products because it is very difficult to get unbiased reviews. The people telling you to take the product are the ones that are making money off the product.

I had a friend who sold a similar product and she eventually said that it didn't work but she wanted to make money so she told others to take it but I think at the time she really believed the product to be good when she told others.

I also looked at the ingredients of this product line and I don't see anything special. I'm guessing they are overpriced supplements which is usually the case for MLM products.

I did try it, and the shakes do taste good, but I didn't find it to be any better or any different than anything else. I still prefer to actually eat food for my meals, even if it's a meal replacement bar. I find it more satisfying than a shake.
