Is shakeology a ripoff?

Iluvmyfurbabies

Any pros and cons you can offer from your experience? Thanx

Don't know much about it but I'm gonna go ahead and say any kind of shake besides protein is a ripoff

I'd rather eat food than drink a meal-replacement shake.

I have no clue, but honestly I would just make your own shakes. Choose a good protein powder, fruits, veggies, etc. Do keep an eye on calorie count though because depending on what you add a shake can easily get high in calories. Kale and spirulina are great for shakes.

It seems more of a cult than a ripoff IMO. The coaches and people who sing its praises are just a bit out there.

Yes. It's an overpriced low quality protein shake.

1. $129.95 for a pkg? whew! to heavy for my wallet.
2. a lazy way to get in shape

sandi117

Yes. Save your money and just eat right.

They're only a rip off for those who have two brain cells to rub together and a modicum of common sense. However, to the common sucker, they are weight loss gold.

This Shake is a game changer. Shakeology combined with healthy eating and a good workout will change your results for the better. I was half way through my first round of Insanity when I started using Shakeology. My results had kind of stalled and this pushed me to my goal. $129.00 for a 30 day supply gets a lot of people to say WOW, Hold up that's expensive!!!!!! People this is a meal replacement shake not a protein shake. YOU replace one of your higher calorie meals with this and it averages $4 a meal. You can't shop or go out to eat and get a Healthy meal for $4. You try this shake for a week or two and then miss a day and you can tell. Shakeology does give you energy and does all the things it say's, PLUS what other meal replacement shake or protein shake offers a money back guarantee if you don't like it or the results you get???????????

I think the response from this cultist... no..no... customer! That's the word I was looking for... anyway, the response from this cult- **** I did it again.

Pretty much most of them are, this is no exception! To each their own but I hate to see people throw their money away on stuff like this. I really love the 'shakeology combined with healthy eating and exercise will change your results'...duh! Healthy eating and exercise are exactly how I not only lost all of my weight but have kept it off for several years and am in the best shape of my entire life. Really health is a no brainer and you don't need special meals, diet pills or over priced protein shakes. I know people who swear by this stuff and I'm all for do what works for you but to be perfectly honest, I've gotten the same or better results just from choosing wisely what I eat and getting regular daily exercise. Now that said, the exercise portion that goes along with these shakes is a good solid workout and the best part is people can do this in the comfort of their own home.

I drank Shakeology for 3 months and loved it. It helps curb cravings and makes you feel more energized. It also helped my IBS (irritable bowel syndrome). I actually didn't have to take my prescription meds for IBS because it helped so much.

However, during the third month, I started getting really nauseous and feeling sick to my stomach a few hours after drinking it. I couldn't take it anymore so I stopped using it.

I don't suggest missing a day of drinking it because you will also feel sick…… at least I did.

That is what I do. Use whey protein and fruits and green leafy veggies... yummyyyyy.... I use a ninja. Love my ninja....



Edit.. LOL @ me already posting a similar post on the 17th on here. Sorry for the redundancy ...lol

You do not need this. Set reasonable goals and be patient.

I can! lol

I'm frugal and on a very tight budget and best believe I can go shop at stores and get a healthy meal, and if choosing the right places to go for 4 dollars. That's funny you are assuming that! lol

From Shop Rite:
1/2 Cup Store Brand Oats (30 Servings per $2.79 container) = 150 calories, 4 g fiber, 5 g protein, 9 cents/serving
1 9 oz banana, Average 33 cents a piece = 100 calories, 3 g fiber, 1.3 g protein, 33 cents/serving
2 Tbsp Diamond Walnuts = 100 Calories, 1 g fiber, 2.5 g protein, + healthy fats, 25 cents per 2 tbsp
1 Cup 1% milk = 100 calories, 8 g protein, (16 servings in 1 gallon) 21 cents per serving

88 Cents for a $450 calorie nutritious meal with 16.8 g protein and healthy fats and fiber. Sounds like I CAN get a cheap meal under $4 without your shakeology shakes.

All these shakes/meal replacements are a rip off. Nothing, but NOTHING, replaces a healthy balanced diet...certainly not a glass of toxic chemicals.

ericarey85

Sorry... AdvoCare girl all the way..... I eat right.... and I actually eat more than I use to and work out and take my vitamin supplements.

alexandriax03

Yes. It's an overpriced low quality protein shake.

This goes to show how little you know about it. It's not even a protein shake. It's a meal replacement.

Capt_Apollo

was telling some friends of mine on facebook that use shakeology about how it's a rip off (i chose much nicer words). them and their "coach" jumped down my throat about it and how it's easier for the body to absorb the healthy vitamins and mineals of the shake because it's in liquid form.

so you know, there is that...

billsica

really shakeology is the premier pyramid scheme supplement, Not that I subscribe to them. If I was going to market shakes on the internet without regard to anything else. you better believe I'd be hawking shakeology.

LOL. Do you even know what Shakeology is? Clearly not if you think it is a glass of toxic chemicals. Shakeology contains more than 70 NUTRIENTS… proteins, vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, phytonutrients, adaptogen herbs, prebiotics, probiotics, fiber and digestive enzymes.

no one cares

it's multilevel marketing B.S. that is sold to the uninformed

...replace one of your higher calorie meals with this and it averages $4 a meal. You can't shop or go out to eat and get a Healthy meal for $4.

first off...don't even say "you can't go out to eat for a healthy meal" for that price because...drinking a shake isn't like going out to eat. seriously, that's just silly

As for shopping for a healthy meal? uh yeah...
One pre-cooked rotisserie chicken from the supermarket, I get 4 meals out of it: $8 so that's $2 per serving. (cheaper if you buy a frozen chicken and cook it yourself)
One bag of frozen veggies, multiple servings: less than $3.00, so let's say $1.00 per serving
brown rice: cheap as hell. definitely under $1 per serving.

^there you go, actual food that tastes good, and is healthy. under $4 per meal.

in….because this is going to be fun!

ndj1979

yes, shakeology is a rip off…you can buy some cheap protein powder and do the same thing..

also, meal replacement is a bunch of BS IMO…just eat real food, create a calorie deficit, and workout ….
