Fad diets, weight loss gimmicks and fitness challenges clutter the advertising airwaves all promising to provide positive results. The problem experts say is finding a regimen to adhere to. The team behind a new program called ViSalus Body by Vi™ claims it has a solution to the weight loss dilemma.

“Two thirds of Americans are overweight right now,” said Co-Founder Nick Sarnicola. “Forty percent are clinically obese and not a lot of solutions for the average person so we want to provide something for the average person.”

Along with reported weight loss results the Body By Vi Challenge offers online and offline support tools in addition to supplements to help consumers reportedly achieve their fitness goals. The actual product Vi-Shape™ Nutritional Shake Mix is designed, creators say, to help burn fat and create lean muscle.

“There’s vitamins,” said former fitness competitor Jenny Lynn. “There’s antioxidants. There’s essential fatty acids, appetite suppressants, energy drinks and a natural fat burner. It’s a whole package you take either one shake or two shakes a day. Anyone can take it.”

Patented by a team of scientists, the Body by Vi Challenge team says it is confident the product is part of the most effective weight loss program on the market.

“We’re a pharmaceutical grade supplement and it’s the highest grade supplement you can get,” said Sarnicola.

Former NFL football player, Matt Lehr, is also a Co-Founder for the supplement.

“I became very interested in the product,” said Matt Lehr. “I love training people. I love watching people change and this is one way for me to do that.”

A deterrent for many individuals taking weight loss supplements is the taste. One thing the creators of the Body by Vi Challenge wanted to ensure was a high quality taste in the product.

“When folks are in a situation where they need to lose weight, a lot of times they’ll avoid what they are supposed to consume because it doesn’t taste very good,” said Sarnicola.

With a taste that is delicious and a handful of natural ingredients, the Body by Vi Challenge is attracting consumers and believers in the product.

“Back in 2005 I moved to Dallas,” said certified personal trainer and figure competitor Mandi Brooks. “In 2006 I saw a poster of a IFBB Fitness Pro. Her name is Susan Groshek. She’s a trainer here in Dallas as well. I want to look like that. She looks great. There’s actually four different categories. There’s bodybuilding which is the most muscular women. There’s also fitness competition and then there’s bikini. There’s figure which is what I’m doing. It’s a little toned down; a little more feminine. You have to want it. It has to be something that you’re passionate about.”

“The people that I work with I tell them straight up I just say if your heart’s not into it don’t do it because it takes one hundred percent commitment,” said Mandi Brooks certified personal trainer Jonathan Irizarry.

“Anybody can get in the gym for an hours and anybody can do cardio for an hour but eating healthy is a twenty four hour thing,” said Brooks. “If you really want to take it that step further and get on stage you have to really be determined. You have to be driven. This has to be your passion. It can’t just be something that’s like oh okay I can get in shape. It has to really be something that you want to do. The closer you get to a show the more cardio you do so you have to schedule in usually about up to three hours of training everyday. It’s really hard but it’s totally worth it.”

“My upcoming event is I’ve actually decided to do a show this year in July,” said Brooks. “It’s the Branch Warren Classic.”

“With Mandi Brooks she has what it takes to do this sport and go very far,” said Irizarry. “I mean from what I’ve seen from her from the past couple of shows her genetics are insane. She has the most potential I’ve seen from a female in a long time and all she has to do is just really dial it in. That’s what we’re going to try to do in this next show and I promised her first place if we get where we need to be.”

“For me it’s knowing that I’m going to get on stage, look my best and get up there and hopefully win my next show,” said Brooks.
