    I've drank shakeology every day since mid-June. Lost 65 pounds. And havent been sick once. Even drank shakeology as a pre-race meal before a Half Marathon this weekend, and I had a personal best time ever for 13.1 miles. I absolutely love this stuff. Best investment in my health I ever made.

    Sell it somewhere else pal. After 4 people attest to the fact that it makes them nauseous I don't see you racking up many sales.

    MLM shakes are garbage designed to separate you from your money. That is all. "Coaches" are not taught a thing about nutrition. They are taught to sell the product, and say anything they have to to do that.

    Spot on.

    I threw up the last 2 times I had it too. I don't think I would ever try it again b/c I was so sick from it. It made me throw up multiple times. I wonder what is in that crap?! Does anybody know if Herbalife is any good?

    Save your money. If smoothies are your thing, make a smoothie at home with some frozen fruit, high quality protein powder and almond/rice/soy/regular milk. Heck you can even throw in some greens and call it a day. Similar nutritional value and much cheaper.

    The first bag that I bought was a chocolate vegan. I consumed it on and off and finally stopped taking it. After a year or more of still having the bag and it being about 10 months expired I finished it up and had absolutely no problems with it! I'm serious to I kept it sealed and it was expired and I still drank my shakes lol not wasting $127 dlls lol

    OMG!!! I'm so glad i'm not alone.. This product is horrible.. i had horrible stomach cramps, diarrhea and vomiting within about 2 hours after drinking this product last week... decided not to drink it for a few days because it was so horrible tasting coming back up. Tried it again today and the same thing happened.. it is not a wonder why people loose weight with it.. it comes off from both ends!! I talked with someone from the company today about how they need to mark their product about the side effects that could occur, and was hoping to get a refund.
    They told me i could not get a refund, simply because i decided to buy a bag from a friend who did not like the chocolate so i could try it, and not from the company itself. This product cost me the loss of pay for two days, so not only have i lost the money i paid for the product, but also for 2 days work of work!!! I would not suggest this product or company to anyone !
