    I don't know much about shakeology, but I would like to know why everyone hates it so much?
    Isn't it just another (overpriced) protein powder?

    I don't know but I bet you could buy whey protein and bananas for a lot cheaper

    what about it appeals to you?

    also, have you received any PMs yet, advising you to "ignore the haters in the forums" by someone who wants to sell it to you?

    Protein powder is cheaper and just as effective. I've been doing Insanity for a month without using shakeology, and I haven't seen any negative impact to my results.

    The OP is a friend of mine that is finding it hard to even afford a kitchen scale so it upsets me to see him sucked into something as expensive as this that is just lining other peoples pockets. He's already been sent a sample.

    ^.^

    OP....forget the shakeology. get a food scale. It's a waaaayyyyy better investment. You can get one for $20-$30 on amazon or at walmart.

    Serving size is 48 grams and only 17 of them are protein. There is also 9g of sugar which is very high if you are attempting to lose weight. Even the stuff at Costco is better than this.

    Food scales only cost about $5.

    Also, what do you hope to accomplish with a shake? Are you going to drink one (or more) of your meals instead of eating it? Is that going to help you form healthy eating habits that will last you a lifetime?

    I know I can get a scale for cheap people need to quit rubbing it in, if I don't wanna buy a scale and get shakeoligy if I want I have the right to do so.

    As far as shakeoligy goes I would only use it for a protein shake in the morning before I went to work and I would not use it to replace a meal either.

    So if you are telling me to get a scale please stop this thread is about shakeology

    I don't know why everyone is so aggressive when it comes to shakeology/herbalife. It's overpriced but there's nothing bad about it. I have a friend that loves it and she DOES NOT sell it. Again, I think it's overpriced but if you have the money to spare, why not? In my opinion, if you're really set on doing the whole shake thing I would suggest just buying something similar from Whole Foods. I used to buy one that had almost the exact same things in it and it was only around 30 dollars as opposed to $150!

    For all the calories you drink in that shake, that's food you don't get to eat. You might consider something like a banana and/or an apple for breakfast. It's a lot cheaper and you get to eat them and you get good nutrition from them.

    It's really overpriced. If you have the money to spare it's not bad (though it does have a fair bit of sugar as far as weight loss goes), but personally I don't see the point of spending a ridiculous amount on that when you can just buy some protein powder.

    I use protein powder, some milk, and some frozen fruit as one or two meals a day fairly often. I get pretty busy, and honestly, a lot of the time I just don't like eating. Protein shakes with some frozen fruit work really well for me. If you don't need the additional protein, protein shakes of any sort aren't necessary. For me, the protein shakes are necessary to get enough protein since I don't eat much from regular food. If you do, then plain ol' smoothies are fine. There's tons of recipes on the internet, and there's really no limit to the combinations you can make. Green smoothies are awesome. I also recommend chia seeds. A bit expensive to buy, but they'll last a long time. They have health benefits, but my favorite part about them is they give excellent creaminess to smoothies.

    I like it but it does lack in protein & it gets old after 3 months, once I'm done with the supply I have I'm done (:

    beach body has some deals where you purchase a workout like insanity or other workouts etc for 100 or 140 and you get the shakeology for the month included..and it seems like a better deal then just signing up for the one month auto ship for 100 something if you are gonna spend that much u might as well get a workout with it.. if you contact a rep they usually can get a better deal.. but do your research and if you wanna check it out or ask questions theres a great group on facebook called third deminsion fitness they are not pushy and dont require you to buy but answer your questions and are a huge support group trying to get fit some use beach body stuff others use diff workout... good luck
