Did you know that just a few minutes each day of monitoring and tracking can make huge differences in the results you get from your diet and fitness regimen?

You cannot question why something isn’t working if you are not properly monitoring the habits that should be in place to meet your goals.  Too often people start out on a certain diet or exercise program with the goal of having a super model slim body in a short time… and when they do not see results in a few short weeks they simply give up.

If you are tired of starting over, then stop giving up!
Instead, start out with a SMART plan of action to lose weight and get fit, one that is scientifically proven.  Use a monitor to make sure your workouts are effective, and track your diet!

Habit #1 : Track your workouts and use a heart rate monitor that tracks calorie burn.

It’s a worthwhile investment – to get a heart rate monitor that tracks your calorie burn. Heck, you have invested in how many workout videos/gym memberships/personal training sessions? How do you know that your training is actually worth the time you put into it if you aren’t tracking? On the flip side, you cannot fool yourself or cheat yourself into thinking that wimpy workout you are doing will get you results… once you actually have the caloric burn numbers in front of you!
Use your heart rate monitor to determine which workouts will actually get you the best burn for your time. Remember that strength training workouts will burn fewer calories during the workout, but are absolutely crucial for building muscle to boost metabolism. If you are working out 5 days a week, go for a combination of 3 days of cardio mixed with 2 of strength training to burn fat and tone up fast!

Habit #2 Monitor your diet with a nutrition tracker that takes into account the ratio of nutrients you consume and calories you burned.

Your healthy weight is 80% diet. And it is NOT just about cutting calories!

You can monitor your calorie burn all day long – and sweat like crazy during your intense workouts, but if you aren’t monitoring the food that goes into your body, you may as well be sitting on the couch.

You must monitor your nutrition with an online calculator that will track not only calories, but the ratio of protein, carbohydrates, fat and sodium you are consuming.  A calorie is NOT a calorie – and if you just create a calorie deficit, you will not see your beautiful healthy body emerge. You cannot live on jello and 100 calorie snack packs and expect to lose belly fat and sculpt a beautiful behind. Your body simply does not work that way.

Don’t sabotage your hard work by overeating, or eating too many carbohydrates. Instead, use an online calculator or an app for your phone like dailyburn.com to track everything that goes into your mouth. Most foods you will find are already in the system, so it is very easy to track your diet. You can even add your own recipes to the system – and share recipes with friends! Do you have an accountability partner? How about 3 that are helping you to get your Body by Vi Challenge kit for free? Then connect with them on dailyburn to share your recipes and help keep each other on track.

I love dailyburn because I can see with a quick glance if I have gotten enough protein and veggies in a day, or if I need to stay away from the carbs and have a really lean and green dinner. It keeps me on track. I cannot fool myself… and I don’t wonder why I’m not getting results – because I DO! – Melanie Milletics

Its really simple – but if you aren’t tracking your workouts and diet, you can’t get results.

Workout – with intensity, and add strength training to your regimen. Use a heart rate monitor and track your workouts.
Eat well – low carb, high protein and lots of vegetables. Use an online nutrition tracker or an app on your phone and keep your diet within weight loss/muscle gain zone.

If you do those two things, I promise you, you will see results. Just give your body time! It may take 30 days or more to begin to see real changes in your body. But when you do, don’t be surprised if you see inches lost rather than a massive drop on the scale. If you are fueling your body right with a nutritionally sound weight loss plan, you should see muscle gain along with fat loss. The scale may not change as much, but your body fat percentage will!

The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result. I just told you how to change things up so you can actual get real weight loss results fast. So don’t be insane… just track it!!!

ViSalus was born a different company than the one you see thriving worldwide today.  The company has grown up.  Once the new kids on the block with a fresh take on the industry, today they’re seen as visionaries, and they’ve flourished as network marketing pioneers.

A flash of marketing brilliance born in days of national economic turmoil has transformed ViSalus into one of the fastest-growing companies in North America.  The transformative tool:  the Body by Vi^TM Challenge.

A Vision is Born

The ViSalus^TM story started with three 20-something entrepreneurs from very different walks of life whose futures will now be forever linked.  Ryan Blair grew up in a family of addiction and followed the wrong path as a youth.  Nick Sarnicola was once a collegiate athlete and salesman; Blake Mallen, a student body president and triple-major top university graduate.

Despite their varied backgrounds, all three men were successful entrepreneurs by the time their paths crossed in 2005.  They united their complimentary skill sets and passion for health and fitness with a mission to impact Life, Health & Prosperity.

Soon ViSalus^TM was born.

Recognizing the wellness revolution that was about to ensue, the trio partnered with Dr. Michael Seidman, who had spent his life perfecting an anti-aging and energy system.

The first few years were committed to putting together the nuts and bolts of ViSalus.  New products were launched, such as the Vi-Shape® Nutritional Shake mix, and key executives who had managed multibillion-dollar companies were hired to prep the company for a future of rapid growth and international expansion.  And the founders invested heavily in systems and technology that would help propel them as industry frontrunners.

With everything in place, they caught the eye of Blyth Inc., a well-respected holding company.  Blyth took an interest in ViSalus, and in 2008, invested in the company.  Blyth added ViSalus to its billion-dollar resume, tabbing it as their much anticipated venture into the booming health and wellness market.  It was a perfect partnership.

“We were experiencing consistent growth month after month and everything was coming together,” recalls Mallen.  “Becoming a part of the Blyth family gave us the backbone we needed to go big.  We felt bulletproof.”

Unfortunately, the feeling was fleeting.

From Recession to Reinvention

Within 60 days, everything had changed.  The U.S. economy suffered a monumental collapse, sending everything ViSalus had built into question.  The nation was now fighting to survive day to day.

“We got hit hard like many others did by the downturn in the economy,” says Co-Founder and at the time Chief Sales Officer Nick Sarnicola.  “It knocked us off our feet and forced us to take a hard look at everything we were doing.”

The market had dramatically shifted, and the strategy that got ViSalus where it was would no longer work in this new economy.  Before they knew it, the ViSalus founders were staring at a sobering reality:  In order to continue to support the Community behind the ViSalus mission, something needed to change quickly.

The founders took their executive team and went into months of analysis in order to create a model that would resonate with the current consumer – and mature in the new economy.

“We weren’t about to go quietly into the night like so many other companies had,” Blair says.  “I’m the type that likes to go out swinging, and we still had a lot of fight left in us.  So did our Community.”

A Total Transformation

At a company Vitality event, Blair’s mentor – Hall of Fame Basketball Coach dale Brown – challenged him onstage to take a 12-month fitness challenge.  Instantly Blair and his Co-Founders knew they had discovered something special.

The new direction was clear:  the Body by Vi^TM Challenge.

It was an extreme makeover, and a huge risk, but ViSalus completely reinvented its platform to become the Body by Vi^TM Challenge in July of 2009 – and they haven’t looked back since.

Premium products were placed into different types of Challenge Kits, each tailored to match a variety of weight-loss and fitness goals.  Distributors were now Promoters – Promoting the Challenge, setting 90-day goals and striving to achieve those goals with their friends.

It was simple, it was natural, and the Community embraced it immediately.  Hundreds of people per month were joining the Challenge.  Soon, that number passed 1,000 a month, and the momentum had begun.

Hotel-based business opportunity meetings were replaced with simple home Challenge Parties.  People now came out to try the products and learn about the Challenge in a relaxed, casual environment.  Suits and ties gave way to jeans and sport coats.

“We finally became who we are,” Sarnicola says, “and stopped trying to be like everybody else.”

Fast-forward to 2012, with monthly sales surpassing $30 million a month, and more than 3,000 people a day joining the Body by Vi^TM Challenge.  It’s safe to say that pretty much everyone is up for the Challenge.

A vital player in the story of ViSalus^TM is Blyth Inc., whose investment in ViSalus^TM and mentorship has proven invaluable in the growing success of both companies.

At the helm of Blyth is entrepreneurial icon and renowned philanthropist Robert B. Goergen Sr., the namesake of the Goergen Entrepreneurial Management Program at the University of Pennsylvania’s prestigious Wharton School.  He now sits on the ViSalus Board of Directors, along with his sons Robert Jr. and Todd.

Its affiliation with Blyth gives 6-year-old ViSalus the stability of a company with a much longer history.  ViSalus has become one of the strongest performers in Blyth’s family of companies.

“Because they’re part of our team, we’ve learned a lot about successfully scaling, growing and running a business,” CEO Ryan Blair says.  “Their knowledge and guidance gives us a very efficient business model.  As a result of being able to leverage the Blyth expertise and infrastructure, we can focus on delivering the highest value possible for a Body by Vi^TM Challenge Promoters everywhere.”

The Company That Challenged America : The Body by Vi^TM Challenge:  an idea that transformed a company and hundreds of thousands of lives.
From The Challenge Magazine

ViSalus Sciences is breaking all records!
In 2011 alone 574,525 people joined the Body By Vi Challenge ~ thats more than half a million people!

And there is no sign of things slowing down for Body By Vi Challenge Promoters.

As 3000+ people join the 90 Day Challenge a DAY, ViSalus has enjoyed 24 months of double digit compounding growth month over month in an economy that has devastated most Network Marketing companies!

In 2012, the Network Marketing industry will consolidate into ViSalus, as home based entrepreneurs make a decision to work with a company that will help them to achieve their financial goals far more quickly than with other companies that are behind the times.  ViSalus continues to be the industry leader, with innovations that the competition is trying to copy, but simply cannot ever match.

So many of us these days are searching for the right wellness community – one that’ll help us on our way to adopting a new lifestyle.  We know a healthier life is a better life, so why is the first step toward something that’ll ultimately make us happier always the hardest?  And along the way, how do we stay on track, and avoid getting bored or giving in to temptation?

With an Entire Community behind you, you won’t go it alone.

“The Body by Vi Challenge works because it encourages folks to upgrade their goals every 90 days and provides an easy transition to a healthier lifestyle.”

Welcome to Wellness

“A lot of people fail at diets and wellness routines, because they try to do it all on their own,” says Blake Mallen, ViSalus^TM Chief Marketing Officer.  “The reality of the matter is that it’s not always fun.  It’s not always simple.  But when we surround people with a fresh community of support, they can begin to enjoy the process and see lasting results – often for the first time in their lives.”

Across the board, the response has been phenomenal, from young and old alike.  “The Body by Vi Challenge allows people to tap into an authentic, youthful energy.  But it’s not an age thing.  It’s a feeling,” Mallen explains.  “People gravitate to that energy.  We have a social culture with a modern can-do attitude.  It’s a positive environment that people want to share – no matter what their stage of life.”

The Body by Vi community thrives on interaction with others, and that’s one reason why ViSalus has become wildly successful with their personal challenge platform.  People often learn about the products and try them for the first time at local Challenge Parties, taking place every night in homes across North America.  “We didn’t invent the idea of people getting together to share products – that’s the beauty of the Challenge,” says John Luan, ViSalus Director of Sales and Program Management.  “But we did revolutionize the way these parties are done.”

Being able to try the products and meet other people who are on the Body by Vi Challenge make it easy not only to get started, but to stay on track for 90 days and beyond.  Studies have shown that people that take on weight-loss and fitness goals alongside others are much more likely to be successful, and the Body by Vi Challenge is modern proof.

Vi-Net is a free app for your smartphone that puts the power of Vi-Net in the palm of your hand.  Whether you want to share your latest results on your favorite social network, order more Challenge products or see what’s going on in the Community, Vi-Net Mobile makes it simple and fun!

Taking the Community Online

ViSalus makes it a priority to invest in the latest technology to ensure that anyone who tries to champion a healthier lifestyle through the Body by Vi Challenge has the latest in online tools to support their success.  That’s why everybody on the Challenge can also access Vi-Net, a thriving online Community full of hundreds of thousands of people who are at various points in their own personal challenge journeys.

The ability to plug into this Community gives people a chance to share pictures and videos of their success, cheer each other on, or ask for support from friends new and old – all over the world.  There are also countless videos and tools to help, as well as recipe books, meal planners, progress journals and more.

The Vi-Net Community can also go wherever you go, thanks to Vi-Net Mobile, a free app for your smartphone that puts the power of Vi-Net in the palm of your hand.  Whether you want to share your monthly milestones on your favorite social network, order more Challenge products or see what’s going on in the Community, Vi-Net Mobile makes it simple and fun!

“We wanted to create something social and comfortable to talk about,” Mallen says.  “Unlike a product, or a doctor, or some magic ingredient, which are all things that are odd to just strike up conversation about, the Body by Vi Challenge enables people to have an authentic conversation about wanting to drop 20 pounds, or see their abs, or run a marathon – because those are things people naturally talk about every day.”

And although the Body by Vi Challenge is young by industry standards, it has already taken on a life on its own, mushrooming beyond expectations and literally transforming the way ViSalus operates day-to-day.

Mallen continued, “You’ve also go to look at what’s going on right now and how things are shifting in the world.  It’s even more important to know where things are going – and how to align your Community with the technological trends of tomorrow – not yesterday.”

“When we created the Body by Vi Challenge, we shifted our focus from a company the promotes products to one that promotes a healthy lifestyle – and has fun doing it, too,” Laun says.  “After all, who doesn’t like a good party?”

This progressive type of corporate culture is really in step with who ViSalus is as a company.  “We have a community of good people who are passionate about helping others get healthier,” Laun says.  “It’s that simple.”

The result has been a viral explosion of people telling people about the Challenge, aided by the company’s commitment to technology and systems for sharing stories.

“We are in the storytelling business,” says CEO Ryan Blair.  “I hear hundreds of incredible success stories every day, and share every one that I possibly can.  But the best part is knowing that this is just the tip of the iceberg, in terms of the span of lives we’re actually affecting!”

A Winning Combination
Exercising without a healthy diet is futile.
by Deana Nall, in The Challenge Magazine

While Americans seem more health-conscious than ever, our eating and exercising habits still leave a lot of room for improvement.

According to a recent study by the Centers of Disease Control (CDC), only one in seven American adults gets regular physical activity and consumes five servings of fruits and vegetables every day.  The New England Journal of Medicine reported in a 2011 study that weight loss and exercise combined provide greater improvement in physical function than weight loss of exercise alone.  Another study led by Dr. Anne McTiernan of Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle found that a healthy diet and regular exercise done together are more effective at helping women lose weight than diet or exercise alone.

It’s obvious that healthy diet and exercise are the ideal combination for weight loss, physical fitness and lower risk of chronic diseases.

Start Slow and Increase Gradually

“This study shows that you get the biggest bang for your buck by combining a healthy weight-loss diet – which in this case meant reducing calories by cutting fat intake and boosting the consumption of low-calorie foods – with regular, moderate-intensity aerobic exercise,” McTiernan says.  “You don’t need to be an athlete; walking, biking or gym cardio machines all work well.  Start slowly and gradually increase to 45 minutes of activity a day, more if you are able.”

It’s obvious that healthy diet and exercise are the ideal combination for weight loss, physical fitness and lower risk of chronic diseases.  But because so few of us incorporate both into our lifestyles, America is encountering a major health crisis.  Rates of obesity, diabetes, heart disease and other health problems are at an all-time high.

Experts recommend switching up your routine every 12 weeks, making sure you vary exercise type, frequency and intensity.

While some people can lose weight by only restricting calorie intake, the results are unlikely to last without physical activity.  And to keep a body healthy and able to exercise, a healthy diet is necessary.  The two factors of healthy eating and exercise are vital components of reaching and maintaining a healthy weight and a healthy body, and of lowering risks for disease and other health complications.

For adults, the Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans, a publication of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, recommends aerobic as well as muscle-strengthening activity regularly.  For example, combine two-and-a-half hours of moderate-intensity aerobic activity (such as vigorous walking) every week with muscle-strengthening activities two days a week.  The CDC offers more suggestions on physical activity at www.cdc.gov.  According to the world-renowned Mayo Clinic, regular exercise can not only control weight and fight disease; it can also improve your mood, boost energy, promote better sleep and enhance your sex life.  And the Journal of the Association of Medicine and Psychiatry reports that exercise can improve mental health by reducing anxiety, depression, and negative moods and by improving self-esteem and cognitive function.  With a myriad of physical activities to choose from, you can pick one that’s best for you.  Better yet, chose several, such as jogging, swimming and Zumba, for example, and rotate to prevent boredom and burnout.  Experts recommend switching up your routine every 12 weeks, making sure you vary exercising type, frequency and intensity.

Just don’t forget the other part of the equation.  Exercising without a healthy diet is futile.  To benefit the most from exercising, you need to feed your body everything it needs to respond in the best way to physical activity.  In order to build muscle, you need protein and amino acids.  And you need complex carbohydrates to have enough energy to exercise.  According to the CDC, adults should consume whole grains, poultry, fish, beans, eggs and nuts, in addition to the five daily servings of fruits and vegetables.  You should also consume a diet that is low in saturated fats, trans fats, cholesterol, sodium and added sugars.  At the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s www.choosemyplate.com, you can get a personalized eating plan that will work the best for your age, gender, body type and amount of physical activity.

Reducing food intake alone may provide short-term weight-loss results.  Exercising without supporting your body with a healthy diet can lead to health problems.  For a winning combination, incorporate a healthy diet with regular physical activity.  Make these two vital components a permanent part of your lifestyle, and watch every aspect of your life improve!

How does the Vi-Shape Shake help you to keep muscle and drop fat?
How does Vi-Shape shake help you to put on MORE muscle when you take it as a post workout recovery shake?

The answer is, the type of protein in the Vi-Shape shake is profoundly different from and superior to any other protein powder product on the market.
In fact, there are 3 types of protein the the shake, plus Aminogen for maximum absorption – along with FULL nutrition.
What this means is that your body actually absorbs and uses more of the protein the Vi-shape shake than from any other source of protein in your diet.
When you absorb and utilize more healthy protein, you will keep muscle and drop fat – and even build more muscle if you are taking the ViShape nutritional shake post workout.

YES, you should eat lean healthy sources of protein at your meals – but the fact is, you will actually absorb more of the protein from your Vi-shape shake than you will from that nice lean piece of chicken or fish.

So please do eat a healthy diet rich in vegetables, lean protein and good fats -
but if your goal is fat loss, then use the Vi-shape nutritional shake to replace 2 meals a day, and watch the fat melt away!
If your goal is to put on muscle, even to simply get more ‘toned’, then take the Vi-shape shake post-workout, and you will see better results from your workouts, guaranteed!

How to Get the Best Results on the Body By Vi Challenge With Exercise

How to Get the Best Results on the Body By Vi Challenge Without Exercise

ViSalus Science has what is  officially the #1 Health Challenge in the world with more than 1200 people a day joining the Body By Vi Challenge. As a result, the entrepreneurs that promote the Challenge are reaping the rewards, with more than 12 BMW qualifiers a day – and   $4.20 Million in bonuses were awarded to the top promoters of the Body By Vi Challenge by ViSalus Sciences this past weekend at Vitality in Orlando!

Don’t tell ViSalus that the economy is failing … they have their own economy with double digit compounding growth month over month!

In July 2011 Body By Vi Promoters from across North America came together to watch Hulk Hogan crown the Body By Vi Challenge winners, and to help launch Challenge 2.0 ~ where $10,000,000 in prizes will be awarded over the next 12 months!

What other companies in the Direct Sales industry can you name that are giving $10 million in prizes, awarding 12 new BMWs a day, and giving 4.20 million in bonuses… as the company enrollments skyrocket? The answer is only ViSalus is – and thats why we are number ONE!

Vitality is truly a celebration of Life, Health and Prosperity – and I those Dream Team members in attendance had nothing short of the time of their lives!

The weekend kicked off with an Ambassador’s breakfast with 150 of ViSalus’s top promoters were given a sneak preview of the rollouts to come over the weekend. Being in a room of leaders knowing that we would be responsible for the exponential growth of the Challenge over the coming months was quite an experience! The culture of ViSalus is second to none – and WE are responsible for maintaining that culture.

“What culture?”, You ask?
We are high energy and FUN!

The Body By Vi Challenge awards $10,000,000 in prizes to its 90 Day Challenge winners! We have an ICON promoting the Challenge, Hulk Hogan! The fact is, the Challenge is changing lives by the hundreds of thousands – and to be a part of something this powerful is to align yourself with a movement that if you allow it, will positively impact every aspect of your life!

$25,000 Ambassador Bonus !

Ask yourself what you are doing right now that will help you get THIS happy?
I’m smiling because I’m a 1 Star Ambassador

So after the full on amazing weekend at Vitality, ViSalus took its top producers to the Ritz Carlton in Palm Beach for Presidential Paradise, and the experience got even BETTER!

They rented out the entire watersports package and we played like kids all day long! We went out on sea kayaks, catamarans, snorkeled, boogie boards, SUPs and waverunners. When we wanted to rest, it was in the cabanas overlooking the ocean, with fully stocked refrigerators! I have never had such a wonderful vacation – and it was all covered by ViSalus Sciences!

Presidential Paradise will be even more fun next year when you are a STAR on the Dream Team!
