    I love these "spot the coach" threads.

    I almost feel like there should be more of them just so we can lure them all out and report them so they can be made to stop posting...

    I have been looking at Shakology to help with dropping the pounds and would like to hear what others think about this?

    It's meant for people who don't want to put in the work and expect some magic pill... put in the work ... you will get the results.

    NO!

    Overpriced, nasty, garbage.

    You can Buy better tasting Protein powder at a fraction of the cost and make your own shakes.

    Shakeology is just expensive crap. You could do better with some higher quality protein powder. Try ON or Cellucor. That being said, you don't even need shakes or powders. Beachbody and its affiliates are just massive money making scams to trick desperate people into getting their products. Plus, no joke that stuff tastes terrible.

    Exactly, you already have it figured out. Your stats show that! Congrats to you and good luck going forward.

    It was expensive. Like, I could have bought 2 decent pairs of yoga pants expensive.

    It was disgusting and no amount of dressing it up (which added big calories) made it tolerable.

    0/10 would never drink again under any circumstances.

    I am just curious.. but .. why are people getting treated like this when they ask a simple question? I thought the point of the forums were to get help and advice. I understand some of you do not like BB.. but why be so harsh? Why not just ignore them and let them learn the hard way? Everyone has a right to choose how they want to want to loose weight.. but why should they be subjected to being made fun of and being attacked? Isn't that also against TOS?

    I drink it as a breakfast smoothie every day (I add milk and fruit). I buy it off ebay, so it's cheaper and mostly because I don't want to get hounded by the BBcoaches. It's expensive, but I'm at a place in my life where I can afford to buy it. One bag lasts me almost 2 months. I love the taste and the added health benefits. (and Greenberry's my favorite)

    People have such strong feelings about Shakeology, it just boggles my mind. If you can afford it and like it, buy it. If you can't, don't. Pretty simple.

    Also, because of this post, you may end up getting inundated with Beachbody coaches pming. Please note that advertising isn't just a no-no in the forums and groups, but in PMs as well. If this happens, please contact a mod and let them know. :flowerforyou:

    Edited because quoted the wrong person.

    I could afford it, but I know that I'd rather use that money on a sweet vacation, some cute clothes, or stuff for my kids. I don't see the point in flushing your money down the toilet, no matter how rich you are...

    Can you point to a post where the OP was attacked? I am looking back through the posts and don't see one.

    There are many people on the forums that have already learned the hard way, which is why they pass along information. Why ignore it and set somebody up to fail? Honesty is a pretty cool thing and the OP now doesn't have to learn the hard way.

    eta: it can also help people who lurk around the forums.
