Anyone successful with Shakeology?

matchbox_girl

I finally gave it and ordered it yesterday. Now that I am down $140 bucks (gulp) I'm really wondering if people have been successful with the shake.....how do you prepare it, which meal do you do, etc?

Shakeology won't do anything special for you in terms of weight loss or nutrition.

Successful like how?

Well they were successful at making your wallet thinner.

As for you well it is all about calories in / calories out

I know it's expensive but I absolutely loved it! I wanna try ordering the different tastes, when I got one it was just the chocolate and although I enjoyed it, close to the end I was wanting something else other then chocolate for my daily shakeology intake.
let me know what you think of it!

Okay Mr. Smart *kitten*,this IS a fitness site for people trying to get healthy, try to be a little supportive. She was asking a question and I was giving my two cents.

&no i am not saying you HAVE to drink shakeology to be healthy, some people like it, some people don't.

No arguments please! I was just curious. The story behind this was even worse....for months and months my "friend", who was also a Beachbody coach, wanted me to buy it. She was extremely persistent. I never had the money for it up until a few days ago. So when I got online and ordered it (I was proud to be 'taking that big step' if you know what I mean) I told my friend and she was so excited!! Then when she asked if I had ordered it from her site I said no, that I didn't know how to do that.....her next text was "Oh Amber.....smh." Then on Facebook, "I am SO frustrated right now!!"

Like, HELLO! OUCH. Talk about just being a number. When I mentioned that it's not right to ONLY support someone when it benefits the other person, she hit the wall and deleted me....

So now, I feel like I really have been ****ed over -_-

Have you heard about the ViSalus Shakes? My daughter started the program last week, the kit (there are different kits with different prices) she picked is 2 shakes a day, snacks and 1 regular meal. I've tasted a chocolate/banana and it was pretty good, it's a "sweet cream" flavor powder and you add your favorite flavors... : ) Like the Shakeology, it can be pricy, but I am considering it for myself... Let me know if you're interested, I'll put you in contact with her... http://abbybolanos.bodybyvi.com/

This really sucks because you can do this without the expensive shakes. If all she wanted from you was your money, be happy she deleted you. It just goes to show you how shallow she really is.

Personally, I would rather eat my calories then drink any shake, juice, protein powder, ect... I don't think I would last actually skipping meals for just a shake.

I hope they at least work for you for the money you spent, but there are a lot of knowledgeable people on here that you can do it the slow and natural way.

And they wonder why we argue with Shakeology salespeople...

There are more of them here in this very thread. People preying on others, trying to make your weight loss struggle their own paycheck. I hate it.

You can absolutely lose weight and get in shape and never need a meal replacement drink pushed on you by some high pressure salesperson pretending to be your friend or coach.

And for saying this people like me and ACG get called haters and reported to the moderators. Can you believe that?

anwilson_83

what exactly is shakeology? is it like a protein shake?

marylovehellokitty

The only thing it seems to do for me is give me energy & help me keep me regulated! No weight loss this is my 2nd month.

I'm going to steal this and put this on all the Facebook posts I see about "beachbody coaches" vomit.

matchbox_girl

It's nice to have people on here not trying to sell me things.....I know I'm very hurt, especially considering she didn't give a **** about my well being or weight loss goals when I didn't have money for her precious shake....haha I was blind! Ah well....maybe they'll be tasty.....I also rarely eat breakfast (bad I know) so maybe this can be my brekki :drinker:

I have friends that sell Shakeoloy and Body by Vi, totally awkward and I wish I could tell myself in the past NEVER agree to trying one shake, they are rabid.

I LOVE Shakeology
I feel better sleep better must be all the good nutrients :happy:

I use Shakeology and because they are low cal you do not have to skip a meal I use for mid day snack

I've been drinking it for 2months, just cancelled my autoship (sad) but couldn't afford it. If I get back to where I can afford it id go back on it in a heartbeat ! 1) it STOPPED my cravings for sweets dead in their tracks! Knowing I was getting my yummy Choc/p.butter/banana shake for breakfast made me a breakfast eater again ( good) 2) made me regular 3) huge energy/more happy ( from the macca root) 4) loved the taste ! Sadly, I didn't lose ANY weight, but never felt healthier !!! So depends on what your looking for I guess. Oh, and it impressed the girl at my local GNC! She said good deal for all nutrients in it. If it were only cheaper !!! Good luck! I wonder how many of the "non-fans" have tried it? If u like treating yourself to Starbucks, well it's like that only better for you

you will start to see significant results with shakeology IF you do use it as your 1 meal a day replacement...follow through with the rest of your correct eating...
I have been on it for 2 months now and you can see from my profile what I am down...16 lbs now between shakeology & working out
If you want recipes...let me know!
I just made a chocolate almond roca yesterday...only 385 calories...and yes I made it public for everyone to be able to list if they so choose to have it...
what flavor did you order?
I am a die hard chocolate fan so it really helps me with my chocolate fix
you will find that shakeology has more vitamins than body by v plus other vitamins & nutrients that body by v doesnt even have...I can show you...plus you only do 1 shake a day where as body by v you have to do 2 a day to get results which means buying 2 bags a month from then vs the 1 bag from beachbody
inflammation issues will decrease over time
you WILL sleep better
I do (and I suffered from insomnia since 1987 & prescription pills never helped me for longer than 20 minutes)
how much more can I say
oh my kid loves it...he wants a shake when ever I have a shake

if she really CARED she would still be your friend regardless of who or how your purchased your shakeology...beachbody is supposed to be about SUPPORT! yes its nice if we make money along the way, but when it comes down to it...it's supposed to be about helping the other person really achieve their goals & feel good about who they are...I know I feel great when I can help motivate my friends into doing better...and I don't sit and push them into something...if you do..you do...if you don't thats your choice...but I will still support you on your journey to get healthier...cuz who is going to be hurt worse in the end? the one who decided they weren't worthy of being your friend.

good luck with your journey
and again..if you ever want recipes let me know...I have all kinds over 90 plus what I have been coming up with on my own & some fellow teammates...and I am a picky eater!

If you only did it for your friend cancel the order or send it back,

Do explain, holding calories and macros constant, but one meal plan has a ShakeO shake and the other does not. What will the differences be in body comp and weight loss between the two?

you will find that shakeology has more vitamins than body by v plus other vitamins & nutrients that body by v doesnt even have...I can show you...plus you only do 1 shake a day where as body by v you have to do 2 a day to get results which means buying 2 bags a month from then vs the 1 bag from beachbody
inflammation issues will decrease over time
you WILL sleep better

1) The vitamins in ShakeO are pretty crappy
2)

_Bro

Shakeology will result in weight loss especially if you hop on the scale with your wallet before purchasing.
Please re-weigh after with wallet... Magic, I tell you, magic

usmcmp

Although Acg67 might come across as a smart *kitten* he's given tons of great information on many other shakeology/body by vi threads. Try doing a search for Shakeology on the discussion boards here and read some of the information. It isn't worth it.

I drink it as a breakfast replacement and like it. I finally cancelled my autoship (I've got three bags) and will switch to something more cost efficient when I'm out.

I make it with spinach, almond milk and blueberries for 270 calories or just with water when i'm traveling.

Glad to be out of autoship and being contacted by tons of coaches though.

I love shakeology. I use chocolate to help cover my cravings for sweets, or my fav, reese peanut butter cups. I can make it to taste just like without all the calories. I really do like it and use it alot.

Quiing

In the past I used Shakeology (to maintain my beachbody coach standing, I'm no longer a coach though). It was good to me as a multivitamin and provided probiotics that improved my intestinal health. I loved mixing the chocolate with almond milk and peanut butter to make it an adequate meal replacement because by itself its too low in calories to replace anything and left me so hungry later.

I did the Shakeology Cleanse twice, both times I lost 5-7 pounds in those three day periods. Mind you those were desperation moves and I was STARVING OUT OF MY MIND (eating under 1000 cals a day doing this)...

So needless to day, it will be beneficial to you as far as supplying vitamins and such which is of course important to health and wellness, but remember it's not a miracle shake. As long as you workout regularly and maintain good eating habits along with adding this shake to your diet, you will see results.

I tried it and lost nothing but a lot of cash.....Now I eat nutritious food combined with exercise and the weight is falling off...

Debbiedebbiey

Again, if you can afford it AND enjoy the taste....go for it !!! It'll make your sweet tooth calm and happy !
