I'm going to try the Shakeology cleanse on Wed, Thurs, and Fri this week. Has anyone ever tried it? I've never done any type of cleanse. I'm rather curious. (And dreading it as I do not like the taste of that stuff w/out adding extras to it, and you can't do that for this) I know it will do me a lot of good, can't wait to see how I feel when it's over.

    I have a customer that started it today and one that completed it in January. She lost like 5 lbs and felt great once it was over.

    I think you can add *something* extra to bear the taste. I mean, if you would have a glass of almond milk or some fruit with dinner during your cleanse, then surely you can add that to Shakeology and just add more veggies to the dinner.

    That's what I did. When I cleanse with Shakeology, I use the chocolate flavor and add almond milk and strawberries. Very low cal still, and I still got GREAT results from the cleanse including 3 pound weight loss and less bloating, not to mention energy out the hoo ha. :flowerforyou:

    What is Shakoelogy an were do you get it? Is it expensive? Is there a similar alternative? I could use a cleans/jump start once I have been doing my "new lifestyle" for a couple more weeks.

    Shakeology is from beach body (P90X, TurboFire, that company)...a friend of mine is coach! Coincidentally my coach...you can order it through any coach or direct from their site. www.shakeology.com It's very healthy stuff! This is the cleanse I am about to embark on, and how she does it.http://kimberlyboyle.tumblr.com/post/3602156300/day-2

    Have to say I'm nervous, excited and generally just want it over! We are leaving to go to Florida very soon and I thought it would be a great way to eliminate a few more pounds and give me a fresh start! From what I'm told after completing it you don't want to eat bad anymore....can't hurt, right?

    Definitely go to the website mentioned above and read about it. There is really NOTHING out there that compares to it. Other things like Amazing Grass don't have even HALF of what Shakeology does.

    Because it is a meal REPLACEMENT, if you are doing it right, it won't cost anything extra than you pay for groceries now since you are not buying other stuff because of it. It averages out to about $4 per meal, so think about cutting out something like coffee from Starbucks or any fast food meal and have this instead and you will save money.

    I think the benefits far outweigh the cost of the product. You just have to ask yourself, what' more important? My health and well-being for the rest of my life...or $4 a day that I would probably spend on junk food?

    I went to the website and now I am even more confused?!!? Is this a lifestyle or something that is done just for a short period? So basically I would need to order the shake stuff... and just replace meals for a few days... or....?????

    You are supposed to drink it once a day...either as a meal replacement or a snack depending on preference. Personally I drink the chocolate Shakeology as my morning snack...mixed with unsweetened chocolate almond milk in my shaker cup...only 185 calories of yumminess! I like the energy it gives me and I no longer find myself feeling sleepy at 3pm.

    You can order individual packets from a Beachbody coach. My blog discusses this option.

    I use it everyday as my post-workout shake. It is recommended that you keep drinking it daily after a cleanse. The cleanse is just 3 days, and I haven't actually heard of someone using it just for 3 days and then never again. It really does make you look and feel your best.
