Anyone doing replacing a meal with a shakeology? Have you been successful? What's your diet like throughout the day with the shakeology? I'm interested in trying it! Thanks!

It's overpriced and taste like chalk. I literally couldn't even stomach it.17

Not knocking shakes/juices or anything, but I've noticed this has come back up in recent time. I know "Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead" being on Netflix started up the Juice diets again, but what has brought back the shake craze?
Honestly curious.3 -
It's wildly overpriced, poor quality stuff sold by people who generally have absolutely no business calling themselves "coaches" who will tell you anything they think you want to hear to make a sale. Some of the least ethical sales tactics I've seen came from Shakeology schills.18

Curious why you are interested in replacing food with overpriced artificial junk.9

^ So much this. In every way. Sleazy MLM salespeople have no business calling themselves "coaches" - they have no training or education to back that title (read Beachbody's "Coach FAQ"). They're scammers who sell overpriced, poor quality junk to unsuspecting people.

In, for the "coaches" to talk about all of the "superfoods" in Snake-O.7

Some people where I work have done this. I guess there's an exercise program that goes along with it that they seem to like. Personally the shakes and the different color food containers all seem like too much work for me. Also, I am that rare bird that really loathes any kind of milkshake--no matter how well or poorly it's made.0

I heard there was mention of bacon. Oops, wrong thread. Backs out slowly.9

The workouts are pretty good. Fun and largely hit the large muscle groups. They are the main reason I got into fitness.2 -
If you want to poop yourself order some2

I started on it a couple weeks ago. So far I am liking the product as it does really fill me up & my cravings for junk have waned. It is very pricey, but for the moment am giving it a go. I do like the workouts that come with the program. It's nice to be able to workout whenever and wherever I am (travel a lot for work.) As for taste, it's not awesome but I don't know if any protein shakes are?
I'd be curious to here from somebody who's been on it for awhile. Not sure if it's a fad or if ppl stick with the program long term.

This is interesting. Does your food (or one meal per day) have to (as in, the benefits outweigh the costs - money, taste, nutrition, convenience, practical) be in the form of a shake?Anyone doing replacing a meal with a shakeology?

i do shakes asa meal replacement. all of the ones i use i add a little fruit and coco water as mix. taste is great, especially the salted caramel, little banana and coco water, it is better than ice cream, for me. i like the feeling of not eating heavy b4 working out, but yet fills me up! GNC has so many depending on your needs. i keep about 3 handy for different reasons!2 -

food does not have to be in a shake form, but i like it. great meal but not any heaviness. some nutrition i would not get elsewhere. different strokes for different folks. great we can all choose what we like and make it work!1 -

$17.88 a Month for six star Protein shakes at walmart been using them for years and the taste is great Chocolate peanut butter. Whey Protein without all the Hype.. I typically drink one everyday with Milk for breakfast as Insurance just in case I have a day where I'm super busy and dinner or lunch gets skipped my Protein is still where it needs to be daily.2

It's so easy to make delicious, nutritious protein shakes at home for far less money. I'm one of those people who isn't hungry until later in the day so I often replace breakfast and/or lunch with a shake. But not this overpriced MLM garbage.3

Eh, 21 Day Fix is one of the two programs I've tried in the last year. Between the shakes and the meal plan I actually gained about 7lbs. I supposed it was too high in protein for me?
Truthfully, I didn't find the shake to be worth the money. I had the cafe latte shake and it was good (curbed my sugar craving) but it was a little...counterproductive.2 -
Like another poster said, it is great we can all choose what works for each of us2

I was wondering when the coaches sales people would show up.12

Lol. Y'all should go start your own anti Shakeology thread0

It's like saying "Beetlejuice" three times, LOL.
To the OP - Shakeology is a MLM product with a lot of bogus products touted as "superfoods". Superfoods is purely a marketing term and the efficacy of their claims is completely unproven. There are other products available in stores which are of better quality. The only person who truly benefits from Snakeoilogy are the ones peddling it.
[ETA:] Just in terms of credibility, its worth mentioning that there are absolutely no requirements for training, education or knowledge of health/nutrition to become a Beachbody "coach". The only prerequisite is that you pay your $39.99 fee and voila, you're a "coach"! So if one is going to listen to a Beachbody "coach" about health, fitness or nutrition, you may be taking the advice of a person who knows less about it than you do yourself. It would be worth asking them about their training, education and experience before automatically assuming they have any credibility.7 -

I personally wouldn't do it. Even when I make a shake in the morning, I can't just have that alone. I need something else to go with it or I will feel hungry within the hour after drinking it. If I'm making shakes for breakfast, I usually eat some toast w/ some kind of spread, a bagel with cream cheese, or a small bowl of fruit and cereal.0

I've never had Shakeology, but I do usually have some kind of "meal replacement" shake in the morning (herbalife or GNC). Personally, they are a very light breakfast and great for people on the go. I particularly like herbalife's banana caramel flavor and it tastes like a dessert for me (but with less calories). I usually mix mine with almond milk or nonfat milk. It usually will hold me over until lunch and then I eat normal food for the rest of the day.2
