Shakeology
Replies

I used to drink it all the time. The pros - nice and think so makes awesome smoothies, great taste, mixes nicely. Cons - expensive, I have recently switched to Optimum Nutrition 100% Gold Standard Whey Protein and it does the same thing at a fraction of the cost. I do have to use 2 scoops instead of one but get it for around $50 for a 5 lb tub on Amazon vs $120 for a (I believe) 2 lb bag of Shakeology.
Bottom line, after trying Shakeology I can honestly say it is way over priced for what you are getting.
Except when you compare nutrional information. I used gold standard whey protein for awhile until my mom gave me her shakeology. She was never a fan of any type of protein shake. For price wise sure it is cheaper but I disagree on them being equal as far as nutritional value go. But again, to each their own.
Just comparing whey to shakeology, no. But add in a multivitamin and the playing field is much more level and you're still ahead on cost by using whey+multi.
Well for people like me who can't actually swallow a multivitamin shakeology is just fine. I personally enjoy it and its a lot easier to get down then me choking on a giant horse pill. I can afford it so I'll stick with it. Plus it may be a coincidence but my entire family is sick, all 3 of my children and my boyfriend have been sick for days and I'm perfectly fine. 6 months ago I'd be in bed crying for my mommy long before my bf got sick. It could also be because I eat healthy now but who kniws .
If you choose to spend your money on it and you enjoy it, I don't fault you for it. But you can get comparable micro and macronutrition with less expensive options and the general public deserves to know that.
Also, gummy vitamins.0 -
I sampled the chocolate shakeology shake and didn't like the taste. Find a shakeology coach and ask them for a sample to see if you like it before you buy it.0

I will stick to my own proteins shakes0

I heard from someone that they use beetle shells in them, even in the vegan ones. I don't think I'd want to eat bug shells.
I heard from someone that the world was ending on December 21st.......
I heard Starbucks used bugs in their strawberry fraps

In fact, I heard that crushed bugs are used in all sorts of food colorings that are utilized by a whole bunch of mainstream companies, including red gatorade... Just sayin.
I believe its one of the red dyes that are in red foods and what not
Cochineal - it's use for red food coloring. Starbucks no longer uses it.0 -
Man the opinions are flying out here like bird crap. Be careful before some of it gets on you. For all the talk that's going on, you should have a solid answer, but you still don't. There is nothing that compares. What everyone seems to be crying about is the price. Even the people that offer you an alternative can't put up a product that meets all the stats of SHAKEOLOGY. The cost is less then $4.00 a meal. I don't care where you buy your food you will have at least that much expense into either going to the grocery to get or buy it already cooked. Plus this is delivered right to your doorstep every month.
How It Works*
This patent-pending daily nutritional shake helps your body gently eliminate toxins more efficiently while allowing for better absorption of the essential nutrients you need. A proprietary blend of digestive enzymes and prebiotics helps your body progressively eliminate the toxins that build up over time from eating today's highly processed foods.
At the same time, whole-food ingredients deliver the essential amino acids, vitamins, and minerals your body needs to curb cravings, allowing your body to shed stored fat while the more than 20 different antioxidants and phytonutrients help reduce free radical damage that can lead to heart disease, heart attacks, high blood pressure, and stroke.
Now, that's the simple truth. Yeah, you really don't have to have it for success, but you can't get a better product for a lower cost, producing the same quality results period. And yes I'm also a BeachBody Coach. So If you want to try it for yourself and make your own intelligent decision about if it's right for you. Just let me know and I'll help you get started.

What "whole food ingredients" are used to deliver the "essential amino acids, vitamins, and minerals"? Why cannot I not obtain those nutrients from the whole foods themselves?
Can you provide me with a study that explains exactly how Shakeology reduces "the free radical damage that can lead to heart disease, heart attacks, high blood pressure, and stroke"? Basically, you are claiming that this product will prevent me from having a debilitating/deadly heart problem. How was that conclusion reached? How is it independant of weight loss (another goal of the body), as weight loss typically reduces the possibility of those conditions?0 -

cochineal and carminic acid are the terms you might be looking for.

I will stick to my own proteins shakes
this.
I can see the use of a protein shake, and drink one as a meal replacement at lunch for work days, but you can whip up your own for less money using a standard whey protein powder and a few extra ingredients. Mine is based on the French Vanilla Designer Whey but I concocted a recipe with it that works well for me, that is a mix of the powder, plus 1 banana, coconut flour, light coconut milk, cocoa powder, coconut water, nonfat greek yogurt and lowfat milk.
edit *thinking of adding flax seed to it, once I get around to buying them*
Yes, it might be easier for some folks who just want to mix something up and forget about it, but so many of these fitness companies do not guarantee gluten free and this is how I can be sure that it is, make it myself.0 -
You've lost 78lbs - that's awesome!!
What's an expensive meal replacement shake going to do for you that you aren't already doing for yourself?
Hmmmm...let's see...gives me energy, boosted my immune system...I went from getting sick once per month for 2 straight years to only getting sick twice since last February (I'm a school bus driver, it's inevitable), markedly improved my IBS-C when no other probiotic provided long-term relief, grew my hair 4 inches since last February. The hair growth alone and having long and lustrous hair again is worth the money alone! lol0 -
Coincidentally enough, in her profile:Gee, you sound just like a Beachbody pusher, um, I mean coach!I fell in love with TurboFire so much that I decided to become an Independent Beachbody Coach on 11/20/12; I love this company
& the fitness programs they have to offer. If you're interested in finding out more about the business opportunity or their programs & nutrition plans, please don't hesitate to send me a message.
I'm not really sure why there was a need for sarcasm. She had a question; I provided her with more info. It doesn't matter what any of us have to say about the product or any Beachbody programs for that matter. She's going to make her own decision, despite what any else of you think.
PS. Thank you for taking the time to read my profile & feeling the need to post a very SMALL part of it on the forum.

I'll drink a Special K Protein Shake as a snack and to help with my protein, but I don't want to replace a whole meal with a shake...especially a $4 shake. But that's just me. I'm probably going to start the whey protein powder next week but....each their own I say.0

Certainly less worry about all those toxins used to make paper money.

I'm not around kids like you, nor do I have the other symptoms, but I take Echinacae and also Emergen-C (though I admit I'm slacking at the moment) and I haven't been sick in 2 years. In the2 years before that, I've only gotten sick twice. And this was going through numerous events and cons.0 -

I think its because some people think they know everything and like to verbally attack people just to make themselves feel better. It happens on EVERY forum. I understand people having different opinions but I dont understand why people have to put their douche hats on.0 -
Now that's a fair question. Here's where you can find all the information that you're looking for.

How about you pointing us to the exact research that supports those claims rather than directing us to your own website that you sell this stuff on?0 -

I'm on a mobile and can't click that link. Can you just name a toxin that your shake eliminates? I don't need you to rattle off all the toxins, just one should suffice.
Thanks!0 -
I suppose that would include the toxins that your products will also produce.

How about you produce the information that disclaims any of the science that SHAKEOLOGY suggest.0

It does not work that way. I made no claims - you did. You really should not be making claims you cannot support.0 -
Wow, Coach Duham getting defensive. SideSteel asked a simple question, and I am also curious to know the answer.
For the OP and Coach, please read this first post:
