What is in a Visalus Protein Shake?

I get that question a lot about what is in the Visalus Shakes and I wanted to create a post I could refer people back to, so you could see for yourself. Check out all the nutrients you are getting when you take one Visalus shake.

As you can see there are so many great things in the shakes for you and for moms who are pregnant or breastfeeding they are safe to take as well. I am NOT a doctor, but I did take them while I was pregnant and breastfeeding and I did not have any side effects. Always consult your doctor before starting anything, but I am sharing my personal story.

Another great video that goes in to more detail is on the Lifestyle for Health YouTube page. This is a great detailed oriented video that will help you understand the shakes better. You can also get the Visalus Shake Ingredient List to see what is in the shakes.

And I know it can be hard to get motivated, so if you need some motivation or a pep talk to get you going with your workout and weight loss journey check out my No More Excuses blog.

Why Are You Fat? Weight Loss Starts Here!

“There is one quality which one must possess to win, and that is definiteness of purpose, the knowledge of what one wants, and a burning desire to possess it.” - Napoleon Hill

Are you the sort of person that puts everything before taking care of yourself? Do you say you are going to do something and then half-way through just give up? Are you too tired? Don’t have time?

Those are all excuses for why you aren’t taking care of yourself. If you have kids there is a reason why when you are flying they tell you to put the oxygen mask on yourself first -if you can’t breath how do you expect to save your child?

If you are unhealthy, overweight or just don’t care anymore, you will not be able to be 100% effective for your kids or for yourself. The same holds true for me. After my son was born, he’s 3 now, I tried motivating myself and I worked out a little bit, but it wasn’t enough. I was a stay at home mom and he was my first, so I slept with him all the time. I ate whatever I wanted, why? My excuse was because I was breastfeeding and I needed the extra calories. Bah humbug! French Fries from Burger King were not the extra calories I needed.

After I had my second child, I knew I needed to take care of me. I made excuses, I have 2 under 3, I don’t have time, I’m so tired, how can I? I have two kids! Something clicked and I realized I had to take care of me in order for me to take care of my children.

How Can I Get Started With Weight Loss?

Some things I have learned along the way is that I need to focus on:

Put yourself first, even if its just taking 5 minutes to regroup and get your mind right then take that time, it will only benefit you in the long run
Sleep – adults need at least 7 hours of sleep to function. Please click here if you would like to learn about how you can get 4 hours of sleep in 15 minutes – simply amazing.
Focus on exercise and feeling better. I made the mistake of weighing myself every day and obsessing if I didn’t lose weight. Chad asked me, “How do you feel when you are taking the shakes?” I have more energy and I feel more refreshed and that is what matters.
Start small – If you haven’t done any sort of exercise or healthy eating in a while. Start with one meal a day and start with 20 minutes of exercise a day. You don’t want to push yourself so much that you get burnt out and you want to quit right away.
Ask for help – I have realized that I cannot do this on my own. I’m not super woman and I know that I need help, so the kids go to daycare 3 days a week for 5-6 hours each day to get interaction and to give me time to be me. If you can’t afford that, swap babysitting with a friend, hire a teenager to come over after school or on weekends a couple hours, or ask your boyfriend/husband for help. I have found that when I have wanted something bad enough I stopped with excuses.

Those are just a few things to focus on if you want to start taking better care of yourself.

Remember that you come first and that the well-being of you will affect how you react and treat your friends, family and whoever else is in your life.

If you are interested in something that will give you all the vitamins and nutrients you need, the ViSalus shakes are for you and will jump start your putting yourself first and taking care of yourself journey.

ViSalus Sciences receives Turn Around award at the DSN Global 100 in Dallas, Texas

ViSalus Sciences was honored at Industry-wide event hosted by the Direct Selling News for its outstanding financial performance in 2010.

LOS ANGELES, CA—April 28, 2011—Representatives from the top 100 direct selling companies worldwide gathered on April 27th in Dallas, Texas for the annual DSN Global 100 banquet to hear industry leaders and special guest speakers, and to celebrate the financial achievements of 2010. The Global 100 is a comprehensive ranking system created by the Direct Selling News to honor the efforts of the most successful direct selling companies across the world, while bringing more transparency into the industry through research and recognition.

Three special awards, named the Bravo Awards, were given out at the banquet to direct selling companies that showed outstanding achievement in these categories: Growth, Turn Around, and Leadership.

The Publisher and Editor in Chief of Direct Selling News, John T. Fleming, said, “The turn around award is the most important of the three because, like in any other industry, we lose companies. When a company that was struggling shows that it is now growing and thriving, it means that thousands of distributors and customers are able to do business again. And that is crucial to our industry.”

To accept the award, CEO of ViSalus Sciences Ryan Blair, got on stage along with members of the ViSalus management team and addressed the 500 banquet attendees.

“On behalf of the entire ViSalus community, we accept this award with great honor. May it serve as a reminder to every entrepreneur that giving up is not an option, and that even a “Great Recession” can be beat if you put your heart into your business.”

“Every ViSalus distributor that joined us in our Body by Vi 90-Day Challenge should credit themselves with this accomplishment,” said Blair.

ViSalus CEO Ryan Blair delivered two addresses from stage, along with speakers such as Gary Vaynerchuck, Shawn Achor, and John Maxwell. The DSN Global 100 is part of the Video Plus University and Success University event, featuring top executives from the industry’s leading companies. The Global 100, which is in its second year, was attended by representatives from companies with a total value of $39 billion dollars combined, and a complete total of $95 billion dollars overall for the top 100 list in its entirety.
