Shakeology

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?

You have done so well for yourself. I don't see how a shake is going to help now. I have the visalus shakes. They help me because I'm a vegetarian and I need the protein. 48 protein is hard to obtain when you don't eat meat. lol The shakes are cheaper on Ebay. Good job on your weight loss.

Shakeology has over 70 nutrients that are difficult to find in your regular grocery stores or without incorporating a bunch of supplements into your diet that have unnecessary additives in them. They're also low in sugar & carbs, which a lot of healthy meal replacements on the market are not. Yes, they may seem expensive, but if you break it down, it's only $4 a day. If you'd be using it as a meal replacement, odds are you'll be saving yourself money. You also have the option of buying combo packs, so you're not stuck with just having one flavor. Beachbody also has a TON of recipe ideas, so if you don't want to just drink a boring shake every day, you can switch it up to make it a little more interesting. I have a few customers who have tried it & LOVE it...they feel satisfied much longer than had they just eaten a regular meal, so if it has the same effect on you, you may find that you won't need to be eating as many calories to feel full, which would equate into more weight loss (if you're loooking to lose more). I just ordered Shakeology (I'm trying Chocolate & Greenberry to start) & P90X protein bars last week & I can't wait to get them! Keep in mind that if you're a Beachbody club member, you'd receive 10% off your order - Coaches receive a 25% price reduction. If you don't know of any coaches, Ultimately, you need to decide if you want the extra nutrients or have the monetary funds. Don't allow us to make up your mind for you - you have to do for yourself what you feel is in your best interest & what coincides with your own personal health goals.

wowww....the shakeology drones are getting even more brain washed then the 'trisorb protein' body by vibe drones...I highly recommend looking up the information they're spitting out and finding out the truth for yourself.

look up a few more shakeology threads...most of them you will find...many people talking out of their bums and a few people who got scammed on it and a few people who gained weight on it. It's not a magic shake. It doesn't contain magic. And I would absolutely not call it healthy.

I drink it and I'm not a beach body coach. I like it. I have taken the empty bag with me to health stores and supplement stores and didn't find anything that compares. If people gained weight on it...it was probably them and not shakeology. I don't see how a shake could cause weight gain lol..because like mentioned..its not magical. I also don't understand how people get scammed? Did they not realize they had it ordered monthly...where it is automatically shipped and money is automatically withdrawn? I've ordered the wrong flavor and had no issues sending it back and getting the new kind. I'm still new to using it, only 3 months.

To each their own. Try it and if you like it then use it. You can get samples. If you don't like it get something you like that isn't as expensive.

Some people will be for it and some will be against it. Some people cross the line by insulting people who do like it...but that's their maturity level.

I either have a shake for breakfast or for a snack. I prefer either the chocolate or the strawberry. I've had a sample of the vegan chocolate and it was gross. I haven't tried the green berry flavor..I think its called that.

The different protein powders I have in my cupboard already work fine for me.

If I'm going to waste $4 a day on something, it will be a mocha at Starbucks. But thats just me :drinker:

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.

I drink it. I am a coach, but I drink it because I like it. I haven't found other meal replacements that I've enjoyed, but that's a personal preference.

What I don't understand is why other brands don't get this kind of backlash. It's a preference thing. Try a few brands - get some samples, see what YOU like and what will work for YOU. This works for me. Doesn't mean it will work for everyone.

I drink the vegan ones. I like them both. Can't have the regular chocolate or greenberry because I'm lactose intolerant and they happen to have enough to irritate my stomach.

There's nothing wrong with someone asking a question. She was interested, and she asked. If this is a scam then I'd be willing to bet that just about all the other meal replacement powders are. None of them are magic. None of them will do amazing things for you unless you are using them to replace a meal and are therefore decreasing your overall caloric intake.

I have personally found that I like this brand, it keeps me full, and I don't gag when I drink it, plain or with added ingredients. I can't say that for the other ones I'd tried. I didn't lose weight on it, but I'm not really trying to lose weight at this point. Has it helped some people lose weight? yes. Have other meal replacement powders? sure they have. If people gained weight on it I'd be willing to bet they were consuming too many calories on a daily basis. And the same would go for people who gained weight drinking any other brand.

By the way, to the OP, fantastic work on your weight lose thus far! you should be very proud of yourself :-)

I found the products OK but expensive, and I've known many people who got into the business pyramid with big plans only to fail miserably.
Maybe others have had success; good for you:flowerforyou:
COUNT ME OUT!

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 .
