Calling all Beachbody coaches, RE: Shakeology

Jeff92se

I think most of us has already compared it and now are asking the next level of questions.

What specific why protien shakes have you tried? ie.. brand?

gethealthywithme

Muscle milk , Body fortress whey protein, slim fast, Jillian Michaels, a twin lab brand and something from GNC yrs ago Can't remember the name. I'm not here to get into an argument with anyone of it which is what it seems like ppl want to do. I provided you with what I have and know. There isn't anything else I can tell you other than you would have to try it and compare yourself.

Jeff92se

I've read the ingredient lists. Ingredient-wise, ti's not low calorie or higher in protein than something like a whey shake. Just appears to have some stimulants to amp you up

gethealthywithme

Go to facebook and post your questions to Darin Olean. After all, he made it!

Jeff92se

I don't do FB and I'm not calling that 1-800 number.

gethealthywithme

Well, many people are on fb and my comment was really intended more for the original guy who posted this thread.

Jeff92se

To me, one should know WHY something works. But that's just me.

Jeff92se

Why is it always up to the "non-believers" to sit here and pour over the research? Why can't the shakeologists here just compare labels and have a discussion?

I compared the labels of my ON whey vs Shakeology label. Commented and then there's nada, zip replies. I'm not someone with a degree in nutrition. Just someone with common sense coming to common sense conclusions. The hyped up marketing type replies are tiresome.

Some other good info:
They freeze dry all the ingredients separately and then crush them into a powder before mixing them. Freeze drying them is the only way for the ingredients to maintain their nutritional benefits.

Here is a good article: http://www.thenextrep.com/shakeology-creator-featured-in-o-magazine/

Google The Birth of Shakeology...there is also an email address at the bottom so write if you have any questions.

Did you know there are quite a few celebrity beachbody coaches who drink shakeology? Dukes of Hazard/Smallville actor John Schneider and actress Marlee matlin are just a couple coaches. They have bb store sites, website and fb pages just for bb.
Marlee is teammarlee.com John is beachbodycoach.com/RippedDuke Obviously the believe in the products and the bb mission or they wouldn't be coaches!

For more info just do some googling on shakeology and Darin Olean.

Jeff92se

I don't really care about any acters that use it. They aren't any smarter than the rest of us.

Now you are just in full marketing mode. Or is that copy / paste mode?

rockerbabyy

celebs endorsing products doesnt mean its awesome. carmen electra endorses hcg

gethealthywithme

One of the links I posted has a comparison chart and also the ingredients! Also if you go to shakeology's site you can find all that and more information. Also, like I said....best comparison is trying it then compare it yourself to others that you've tried and decide for yourself. Don't go by just labels.
Shakeology is also
• Gluten free
• No refined sugars or artificial sweeteners
• Provides health-supporting chlorophylls,
polyphenols, prebiotics, and proanthocyanins.

Of course I copied and pasted some info. I don't know every detail of info off the top of my head!! Geesh You are determined to turn this into an argument that I refuse to have with you. Everyone has already made up their mind about it and I refuse to be apart of it anymore. Use you're head and any intelligence you may have and do your own research. Contact the company if you want your questions answered so bad! I didn't make it and could care less if you bought it because I have plenty who do and love it. You want the answers then search for it the correct way not on a weight loss message board!
Oh and btw....you might want to use spell check! lmao

Jeff92se

I've compared labels of both my ON whey and shakeology. I'm not impressed. I'm asking you, if don't know, then fine, say you don't know. Don't fill each thread about this with marketing splunder.

I believe it's impossible as a distributor or consumer to ever know everything about a product you sell or eat. That's probably only info the creators and makers themselves would know. There may be more info in my online office on it that I am not aware of, Idk.

It's not impossible if you research and are diligent. I sold a brand of vacuum for 12 years and learned everything about it including where the raw material came from to manufacture it. As well as how it was put together, quality testing and actual certifications it held.
It's not like your selling several brands. It's one. That shouldn't be that hard to research and if the company you work for won't give it to you as a distributor, then that should tell you about the integrity of the company.

There are numerous celebrities who tout many products. Just because they use them doesn't mean we should accept it as proof that the product was the reason for success. It's just a way to get paid a promote product.

I posted the original question on facebook to Carl Daikeler (ceo of bb) and even he told me he would have to ask the scientist!! I told you from the beginning that I probably wasn't the one to answer this question but I was just trying to provide educational INFORMATION on the product itself. I could care less about selling it. I was just trying to be nice. Isn't this site to help each other and support each other? I said from the beginning I could care less about selling it!
Once again....I am a NEW coach and there may be info I don't know about but I highly doubt that when Carl has to ask the scientist but after the bullying I'm getting on here, I told him to forget it because you ppl weren't worth anymore of my time. This is what I get for trying to be nice. Sad.... I wont be on these boards anymore, may even leave the site all together because I really don't want to be associated with these kind of ppl. You all take care!
I should have never replied to begin with because all of you were vicious before I even commented. Just shows you what type of ppl you all are.

gethealthywithme

There is a difference in typo's and misspelling. Just sayin

Jeff92se

Vicous? I don't think so. Perhaps critical of shakeology. But that has nothing to do with you now does it? You could rail on the ON whey I take all day. Why would I take that personally?

Tell me, what kind of person does it make me to question the validity of a product?

gethealthywithme

You obviously know nothing about the bb company.

gethealthywithme

You obviously know nothing about the bb company.

taso42

Just shows you what type of ppl you all are.

Yep it does show. Lots of respect to the people in this thread... they are critical thinking, educated, inquisitive, willing to research, knowledgeable. MFP would hardly be worth it for the lulz alone, if not for the relatively small number of people constantly putting out good info.

Jeff92se

You obviously know nothing about the bb company.

Well obviously you don't either. And you're the one touting / supporting it.

First off wow, this thread is getting viscous. I'm a coach but I have only been doing this since Sept so I'm not really one who should be responding because I am still in training and not sure what I have "access" to, as you put it. Second, I think anyone who starts off a question with that much negativity wants to not like something. I will never say it's a perfect formula - it's just better for you and taste better than all the rest. I'm not the scientist on the team and I highly doubt anyone but the scientist and nutritionist who created it are the only ones who could answer most if not all your questions. . I would be fascinated to find out what else you eat, if this is the scrutiny you give you food. Better not catch you ever eating a $5 footlong at Subway. lol

i'm confused, are you saying shakeology is better then whole foods ie subway in this instance or that subway is bad for you?

The first 2 questions should be easily answered by anyone associated with the product. As for the questions about specific vitamin choices, i'm pretty sure i already know the answer why 1 form was chosen over another but would love to hear from a beachbody coach or employee.

the reason for the questions, is if this is truly the healthiest meal of the day and the price is justified, there sure are some curious choices ingredientwise imo

sunnyday789

You could same the same about the poster you called it on. My point was more about throwing stones when you live in a glass house.
I can see how "a part" becomes "apart"
Not so sure about the apostrophe and extra e in "your" being a typo.

gethealthywithme

Bullies....just sayin.
