Thoughts on SHAKEOLOGY

keepitcroosh

Has anyone heard of , or tried Shakeology? Any good?

People at work are doing it. Im slowly getting convinced to buy it, but man is it ever expensive. Is it really worth the 120+ dollars for only a months supply?

I am wondering too. I got invited to start with a group of ladies. But $120 for some shake I may not like isn't a good idea and is this some sort of miracle drink or what? lol

Replying to Ichorica :

Yeah exactly. I think there is a guarantee though that if you do not see results in a month, you can return the bag (even if its empty!) and they'll give you a refund apparently. But yeah 120 a month seems a little excessive. I heard also that if you get a few bags , you get one free or something like that (so basically, get your friends involved and buy the bags, and get yours free! hahah) . Ill have to follow up on that though.

Oh and i do know one of my co workers, shes pretty big, doesn't exercise ( sometimes will walk on treadmill though ) and has the shake at lunch only i believe. For dinner, she does not limit herself to healthy food, and she has lost 10lbs in 2 months. Although i would not suggest doing that, i mean, its a lot of money here, why do a half *kitten* job?

no, do not be suckered into buying stupid things.

You are paying the incomes for others who have nothing to do your purchase. That's why it's so expensive. $120 can buy a weeks worth of real food. Not just one "meal" a day. Don't buy into the hype, you can lose weight without it. Many here have.

I've found that the people who sell Shakeology and many other weight loss shake products are not entirely truthful about the nutritional contents of their own product, much less the contents of the competitions' products when doing comparisons. Out of all of them, I've found Shakeology reps to be the most dishonest. Because of this, even if it were a miracle product, I would not give them my money.

Nope

It's worth more, way more. If you have children sell them so you can get this miracle powder. A little birdie told me if you snort it you lose twice as much weight. It's all in the delivery;-)

Damn! I wish I would have known about this before I swapped my kids for beans...:grumble:

First off I am NOT a coach I do drink this product and I do believe in it. I do not use it as a weight loss tool more for the nutritional value. I have not been sick in over a year and I am a mother of two kiddos who bring all those good germs home. I do not buy it form a beachbody coach I buy it from beachbodies website. Some coaches can be a pushy and want you to buy anything from them just to make money and build their pyramid. i only use a half a scoop so it lasts me two months. Its was too rich for me for a full scoop like it calls for. It is a lot of money that is true, but I think its worth it if you can afford it Hope this helps

For those with more knowledge of this product than I have, what could I get from a beachbody shake that I couldn't (much more cheaply) get from a protein shake and some fruit or a mulit-vitamin?

An overpriced meal replacement, can't believe people actually pay good money for this? Really?

Try Reflex diet whey or their meal replacement progen for a better alternative at a fraction of the cost.

Or you could try eating healthy food. Just a thought.

A feeling of self-importance

I buy it but the money is not an issue for me *shrugs*

I'm cancelling my auto-delivery though. It comes in handy for when I'm running out the door or too lazy to cook. But the taste is not as good as the GNC version which is a fraction of the price.

The body absorbs more of the vitamins and healthy stuff that is in shakeology differently than in pill form. I drink shakeology every day at lunch and love it. I have seem great results and it helps me add more protein to my diet. I have used various weight loss and protein supplements over the last several years. GNC protein powders are good and you can get them low calorie, however they don't contain the vitamins, probiotics and superfoods. I have also taken pills that are supossed to help fat burning ( i know they are bad for you, but back then i didn't think that far). Those didn't work for me, they just made my heart race until i got very sick from them. To be honest, i have seem more muscle definition in the 3 months i have taken shakeology than I ever saw in the years of taking any other protein shake. My workouts have been slightly different also. Before i did lots of cardio and i did do some mild lifting, squats, ect. Now i am almost done with the turbofire program and contemplating insanity. If you choose to try shakeology they do offer a bottom of the bag garantee, where after 30 days if your not satisfied you can return it (less s&h).

Shakeology is a very expensive, useless meal replacement shake. There's nothing in it that you can't get, in much higher quality, for much less money, from other sources. It's essentially a ridiculously expensive multivitamin, and even then, it's not that good.

Sidesteal

Shakeology = overpriced.

Get a tub of whey and a multi, profit. Acg made a great post about this detailing some recommended options for replacements including (if I remember correctly) the efficacy and price of various options (wheys and multis).

oneIT

If you have lots of money to blow then go for it.

I got Aftermax instead.

Just get a good quality multi and some whey protein. Seriously, purity products 30$ for a month supply of capsules (again, quality. Not some rock hard tablet from K-Mart that you just poop out whole) multivitamin and a huge 2 pound tub of optimum nutrition is all I need.
Multi-level marketing at it's best.

reashamoriba

I actually brought the shakes and also turbo jam by Charelene and it was worth it lost 80 lbs since October. I love kickboxing and I love chocolate LOL

$120 will feed my husband and I meals full of healthy foods for two weeks! I wouldn't waste my money on it.

This!!! Enough said!! Plus, Beachbody coaches are a pain in the butt! I find it quite offensive that they all copy and paste the same crap everywhere!

caramel1920

Well, I've had it for a couple of weeks and I loooooove it! I drink it for breakfast everyday and I have noticed better digestion and a decrease in my enormous appetite! And it is delicious as well. It is pricey but I feel well worth it! Hope this helps, definitely give it a try, if you want to go in with friends and order it from beach body go ahead, it is cheaper to order it from a coach but you don't have to.

joncgoodman

Shakeology is good stuff. Just look at the results! Joking aside, my son takes the stuff after his workouts and is living proof of the results. For best results, add ice, skim milk, and use a blender to mix.

rgoodearl

It's been part of my daily eating menu for 2 years...love it.

It's doing that because it has probiotics, fiber, and whey protein. You can get all of this from much much cheaper supplements, as well as real food and not spend 120 dollars a month on it.

Eat food! Save yourself some money.

trogalicious

shakeology / body by vi / etc...

If I can't live the rest of my life doing a shake for a meal, why start now? No sense in it as far as I'm concerned. It's a lifestyle change, and if any of these fly-by-night MLM companies go bankrupt, you're just going to wind up having to fill that void with something else.

Just another gimmick.

judysaprincess

It's the most amazing addition to my healthy clean lifestyle, a lot of people are negative towards it, but it has more benefits than the negative responses in the feedback...the only biggie is the cost for most! My health and happiness are worth more than $120 I BELIEVE in their programs! I've been on it since Jan 12 and couldn't imagine my breakfast w/o it!
