So there's a lot of bashing on shakeology and I feel like I need to put in my 2 cents. First off, I was a little skeptical about it because it is so expensive, but I've been on it just a week and I can tell a huge difference in my sugar/junk food cravings as well as energy. I have a killer sweet tooth and to have such a sudden loss of desire to eat sweets has been awesome. I have also struggled before with being tired throughout the day as I often do not sleep well, but I've noticed a marked difference in being more awake and alert. That being said, I think I've had these results because I was not eating a well-balanced diet previously. Shakeology is made for those of us who are too lazy and don't want to take 12 multi-vitamins and eat raw fruits and veggies all day. But if you're the type that can do that each day, more power to you! Personally I think the shake is worth the hype if you're like me. I like it with nonfat milk, ice and peanut butter powder. And I'm also doing piyo and loving it, although it's hard on my wrists...but kicking my abs into killer shape!

if you are too lazy to swallow a multi vitamin then you have some serious issues. are you too lazy to drink water too …oh wait, you would die if that happened...

Why not give eating real, nourishing food a chance?

Here are some on-the-run snacks I grab between boot camp and commute (in no particular order):

- fresh cold, crisp apple (this I can eat and drive at the same time)
- cup of hot homemade lentil or while bean soup from the gym cafeteria
- protein bar (I like Quest for high protein, Kind for taste)
- Half bagel with cream cheese (toast, schmear and go!)
- hard boiled egg
- small bite(s) of cheese and some nuts
- Dannon lite yogurt (lots of sweet creamy yumminess for only 80 calories!)
- granola bar
- peanut butter crackers

Just mix em up, never gets old.

No reps, no multi-level marketing nonsense required

Food: it's the de-tox cleanse for 2015

because you can't sell that for 19.95 a month and make millions.

Shakeology is kind of like Dumbo's feather.

Yeah, you can lose weight using it, but it doesn't have any special power. You can lose weight just the same without it.

Dumbo's feather....I love that.

It's a real shame that the fitness industry is crowded with these bunk plans and products. Add to that bad science reporting about nutrition and Dr. Oz shilling every crap supplement out there, it's no wonder people can't believe there is a simple, if not fast or convenient, way to keep their weight in check.
