    Thanks !
    PS search online if you really want the sizes of those containers ( some people like the idea of portion containers) and you can get the exact sizes of each and buy your own for a lot cheaper. No need to ever deal with any beach body people ever !

    Agree with mostly everyone. I did 21 Day Fix Extreme and ended up gaining 4 lbs, not muscle mass. I wasn't eating how the "plan" suggested I eat prior to the program, therefore, I gained. I don't mind most Beachbody workouts, however I was rather bored with this one. My good friend had success with the original though. But, like what others are saying, you can look up the portions and be on your way. If you like to workout at home, like to follow along to a program/instructor, maybe give it a try (youtube, borrow or try to buy a used system). Thumbs down to Shakeology. If Beachbody wants the world to be a healthier place, lower the price, and make it taste better for goodness sakes!

    I have to agree with mollystout on that one. The shakeology tastes awful! I am going back to my GNC shakes. They taste so much better and are a lot cheaper! I have been using just regular tupperware and measuring my food and it's helping a lot. I am limiting my carbs though, since I am getting kind of a Budda belly haha

    stop stop stop with all these 'programs'. I lost 90lbs, this is waht i did: i didn't eat fast food or *kitten* food, didn't drink beer, i lifted every day, i did some cardio 2-4 times a week (15 minutes of a 1-2 mile run, with sprint intervals, run hard for 30 seconds, walk for a minute, repeat). Get an ideal amount of protein and your body will respond fantastically. These programs are all dumb and gimmick and take advantage of desperate people. If you're committed do waht i say, PM me and i'll give you any workout knowledge i have. But don't bother buying nonsense. Eat chicken breast, vegetables, rice, salmon, 99% lean turkey, almost all seafood.

    It's just about spending 60 minutes a day, and not eating donuts and you'll get any body you want.

    Before I post this note that I'm not trying to get you to buy Shakeology, everyone has their own opinions and this is just mine.

    Yea I have friends trying to get me to the Shakeology it's expensive


    I also do the Shakeology, yeah the initial cost of $130 sounds like a lot but that's 30 meals! Plus you can get a discount on it. So if you actually break it down it only costs about $4-$5 a meal. So it's actually been saving me money and is WAY better for me then stopping at fast food or Kwik trip on my way to work.

    4-5$ a meal?, i buy chicken breast for 1.99lb, it's extremely lean, nutritious and not some crap shake. combine that with a vegetable and some rice and then you'll save more money and you're actually eating food like a human.

    I have it and like it. I sometimes use the shakes and sometime I don't. For me it gives me help with my portions and I love the workouts that come with it. I find them challenging and different.

    curious if anyone ever counted the calories along with using the container size and what an average day looked like for you.

    1 1/4 Cup Green—Vegetables
    1 1/4 Cup Purple—Fruit
    ¾ Cup Red—Protein
    ½ Cup Yellow—Carbohydrates
    1/3 Cup Blue—Healthy Fats and Cheese
    2 Tbls Orange—Seeds and Oils

    1200-1499 calories gets 3 green, 2 purple, 4 red, 2 yellow....like that. So it basically fits in a range. The recipes I've seen use 1/2 container of this.....1/2 container of that.

    You use a calculator to pick your calorie range. Tons of stuff on Pinterest.

    This is essentially a rip-off of the old Weight Watchers exchange system. Exchanges were way too easy to copy (without paying for meetings)....so they went to points.
