Shakeology?!?

I see a half naked chick advertising lotion when I go to Acg's profile. She's cute too.0

lol, ah No. Try a little experiment like I did....go to his profile, click on his pictures, the site comes up right beside his picture as it does for a few others on here bashing Shakeology....not a difficult concept to put together. Sorry you are finding it a challenge.
You're referring to the banner advertisements on the right side of the screen, which have absolutely NOTHING to do with the person's profile. Right now I see an ad for Ski equipment. I do not Ski, I have never been to the site listed.
Wow.

Real simple fact Acg67 want to avoid and shove under the carpet. Foodfacts.com puts Shakeology at 97% food value...way above what he is telling people to use. Shakeology is CERTIFIED to be a low 24 on the glycemic index and is backed by the co-founder cardiologist that created the artificial heart (not a gym rat with ego issues). Acg67 poses as someone that has been to beachbody and checked out how they put together their product and acts as if they are lying with what they propose. The truth of the matter, he really has not done anything one way or another to VALIDATE his claims...he just likes making them.
I have two friends that have their PhD as dietitians that also are beachbody coaches (not a sin to share what works for you with others and once you really learn about beachbody you will find they don't make enough to be doing it for those reasons). Anyone that wants REAL facts from a CERTIFIED doctor, I will be happy to set up a call with them. Unlike Acg67, I will not pretend to be the "know all, end all" expert and actually be humble enough to pass you to someone that is an expert.
70% of your fitness success is diet, Shakeology is only a part of the solution, exercise is also an intricate part. Anyone that tells you they have the quick fix is just lying to you. It takes the dedicated diet (without all the chemicals and processing found in many products).
Whey is also a suitable protein, but not necessarily the best for everyone. Beachbody understands this and has a Vegan shakeology coming out this February that eliminates the Whey emphasis. For the ignorant argument that beachbody is just in it for the money I would ask you to show me one company that would make a product with the goal to become bankrupt? Only a moron would pose that argument (and has). The "you only get what you pay for" applies...yes you can find cheaper methods, but on close inspection you will find they are chemically made or processed and simply not power foods. If you have the time to grow and harvest your own foods and assure they are of top quality, do that. For my busy lifestyle, I will go with what has been proven to work, both through my experience and the hordes of other success stories on You Tube and other Internet sites, not to mention my coach that got me into this and lost 180 lbs.. Like I said, Acg67, I trust real results from people I know, a product backed up by hundreds of normal people of which many are doctors and professional....sorry one gym trainer with ego issues does not shake the facts or validation process I have.
before this gym rat goes to the gym today, let me respond
i've already pointed out to you that foodfacts nonsensical food rating doesn't take into consideration the quality of vitamins in products. go ask your doctor friends if all forms of vitamins are created equal
Who cares if it's certified low on the GI index? if you took time to read my questions and answers you'd see i already addressed this. Is everyone that drinks shakeology drinking it isocalorically and in a fasted state? why would the ceo have his own special shakeo recipe that includes fruit and milk which eek! alters the GI? if GI was so important wouldn't there be a disclaimer that any of the shakeo recipes on the site have the potential to change the GI of the shake?
Any you really using testimonials as why ShakeO is s great? go to any supp compnay and they have various testimals from docs and experts. Hell turn on any infomercial and you'll find "doctors" and other experts shilling for it
I have never stated i've seen the facilities or manufacturing process of shakeo, what i have asked is if it is manufactured in a GMP certified facility, since no where on the website is that listed
Ah so if you have a piece of paper saying you're an expert, you are, correct? Dietitians still spout the nonsense of increased meal frequency to speed up the metabolism and how you have to eat breakfast and other garbage not backed with science
did you even read my question about the inclusion of whey? it makes 0 sense to use whey in an MRP due to it's fast digestion, casein or a blend would be better suited for satiety purposes
again i asked you last time you popped up, if ShakeO only contains all natural ingredients, please tell me where i can find cyanocobalamin in nature?
And i already posted a better combo of products that would give you much better ingredients for less money then ShakeO
And what is this scotthermanfitness which is the first time i've ever even heard of it?

lol, another person with ScottHermanFitness.com under their picture profile that is bashing Shakeology....seems they have had a bit of training as each of them is using the same tactic to take on a highly successful product with their unknown business interest. Funny how their site charges you $10 a month for nothing but information....no real product! At least we have a product people use when they spend their money.0

When I click on your profile picture, the site that comes up directly beside your profile picture is for Ideeli, which is a site that sells designer clothing. Are you also selling discount designer clothing?
This thread has become so absurd, I honestly can't even believe I am responding, but PLEASE stop saying people are promoting things based on the ADS that show up to the right of their profile pictures...it does not help your cause.0 -
So, a leading cardiologist and multiple doctors and certified dietitians are morons and you have all the answers. Who is diluted?
When you are ready to take the challenge and speak to these experts yourself, let me know, I have them in my phone.....you can speak to experts yourself (noticed you did not take me up on that!)
Those who have nothing bash on those that do and since you seem to slam on everyone that uses Shakeology, it is clear you are somewhat wanting and fervent about your real hidden objective to simply promote yourself.
Have a good workout!0 -

I don't know anything of the site you're talking about...but uh...do you realize how much I pay to go to college? for nothing more than "information." Knowledge is valuable, truly more valuable than any shake that you might religiously drink.Funny how their site charges you $10 a month for nothing but information....no real product!0 -

clearly all products endorsed by docs and various other people paid or not must work because they said so
That must mean Sensa is the awesomest product ever and must work, look at all the people backing that

please do point out where i've promoted myself
and i see you ignored every single point i brought up0 -

you! lol
I would trust Acg over many "certified" dietitians. Being a dietetics major I have met, worked with, and laughed at many :P0 -
Anyone using or used Shakeology?
How did you find it?
I'm thinking of giving it a go and just want some feedback
TIA
I use it regularly - inbox me and I can tell you how to get a sample of it 0 -
Soon as a shakeology thread hits, the "coaches" come out for the sale. :laugh:

Wait a sec here, I haven't been paying attention in this thread but are you saying that Shakeology works because it has the backing of cardiologists and dietitians?
If so, let me be the first to say:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argument_from_authority
Who cares what someone says (me included).....how about the DATA that points out to the magic that is Shakeology. By data, I don't mean advertisement data and skewed results showing people lost weight because:
.....they cut calories, exercised more AND HAD A SHAKEOLOGY EVERY DAY FOR A MONTH!!!!!0 -
I was a little lost on that Scott Herman Fitness thing...so I did what the dude said and lo and behold, there was the ad. It wasn't on the right side, either, it was at the top and center, right beside the selected profile picture. I had a good LOL about it...then went to the other guy's page (forgot his username, but the Beachbody coach who started this Scott Herman thing) to see what would show up beside his pictures...and now I can't stop LMAO because it was right there on his page too. I was hoping that I could add to the discussion with something like "Do you also sell HCG since that ad popped up?" like other smarties were doing, but nope! It's a freakin' conspiracy! You ALL work for this Scott Herman dude! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:0

Have you attempted to go out and buy all of the individual ingredients in Shakeology and put them together on your own and see how well you do? Even buy pills and stuff to take the place of what you get in it? I bet you can't do it for under $4.
Looking strictly at price tells you nothing.
actually i could probably create a similar formula with much better ingredients for less then $4
prob something along the lines of aor orthro core/source naturals life force + green vibrance + trutein would do the trick
After a year of being on Shakeology and being very happy with the results, I decided maybe I should out and check out some of this other stuff that was being mentioned. It's not that I haven't tried some it before, but I never saw the same results I have with Shakeology, so I thought maybe I had the wrong combination.
Anyway, I was looking to buy each of those products you mentioned above to get what is supposedly comparably to Shakeology and I was amazed to find that I would be spending THE SAME, if not MORE MONEY using that combination than I am with Shakeology. And yes, I did take into account 30 day supplies of everything. For the pain in the butt of finding and ordering all those different products, and, in some cases taking multiple pills multiple times a day, you just solidified in my mind that Shakeology is WAY WORTH IT! Thank you I was almost beginning to have some doubts! 0 -
for instance? Which products did you try to combine?0

you obviously didn't factor in the superior ingredients in the products i had listed (and price per serving came just a tad under the $4 per serving of shakeology assuming you full dosed ortho-core and well under shakeolgy if you instead chose life force over ortho core). And take a look at any quality multi and they are all mult pills.
if you wanted a comparable product with comparable ingredients to shakeology

Probably won't change your mind, and I've never said that as a product shakeology wasn't effective. I still know that you can get comparable products from merchants who provide very high quality products without spending $3-$4 a shake though.After a year of being on Shakeology and being very happy with the results, I decided maybe I should out and check out some of this other stuff that was being mentioned.

This seems to be true
Actually I could respond to most of those questions, but it's obvious it was just thrown up there to make someone sound really smart and cool and like the people that take the product don't know what they're taking. Most of it bears no relevance on the "normal" consumer. And where does half of it even come from? Are you a scientist? A manufacturing expert? Or do you just spend an awful lot of time on google and really enjoy harassing people that use and believe in the product?
so "normal" consumers shouldn't care about the quality of ingredients at all? Or maybe they would like to know if they are getting their money's worth
No...you do love to twist things, don't you..."normal people" don't know what NSF Certification Guideline 306 is or GMP requirements in NSF/ANSI blahblahblah....
Nor does that particular information have relevance to them and the usefulness of the product. When you go into GNC and buy a supplement, do you ask them that too?? When you go into a grocery store do you do the same?
Normal people don't know the difference between niancin vs inositol hexanicotinate, nor would they ask the question. I know that IH is 80% niacin and 20% inositol, but do studies reveal a substantial difference in results? No. Do most vitamins and supplements other than Shakeology use IH instead? No.
Normal people don't care about alpha and beta carotene because they aren't well versed in it - and the fact that alpha carotene is one of the most abundant carotenoids in the N.A. diet may be the reason they don't feel the need to add more...
Or maybe the question of the copper ratio. Again, most people haven't researched that, nor do they care. The reason BB doesn't put more into Shakeology is because of the risk of copper toxicity. It is not meant to replace an entire diet, just supplement it and people get copper from other sources, like cereal. 7.5:1 vs 10:1 is still pretty freaking awesome...
On prop blends, practically every supplement manufacturer out there has prop blends. I have used pre-workout forumulas that won't even tell me the amount of creatine they put in it...industry standard....
Do I really need to go on to show that you just like to harass people and make lots of noise and bash a product for no apparent good reason other than it is fun for you to get people riled up...0 -
You are wasting your time with Acg67. He poses as an expert as a trainer in a gym and makes a number of claims about what beachbody, foodfacts.com, and really everyone else that does not subscribe to his little gym gospel is vomiting all over good people that like and use beachbody products. I have offered to let him talk to dietitians that are also beachbody coach friends of mine (people that are certified), but he would rather just berate others and drive down Shakeology with half truths and outright lies on what is and is not done with these products. Anyone can pose as an expert and I am not one either, but I know people that are and can dispel his crap....but he does not want that, it gets in the way of his little hidden agenda.
If you really want to know the truth, contact me and I will give you the contact information for a real expert...not a blog basher like Acg67. And just to qualify that...just go to his site...follow his blogs and note how much he attacks people that do not go along with the crap he is throwing around...then go to real certified experts.0 -
