Can we talk about Shakeology?

I've been trying to find out what people think about all the Shakeology flavors and was googling for a comparative poll showing the popularity of each flavor. I couldn't find any so I went ahead and ordered the chocolate flavor anyway.

In the meantime, I created a poll on my blog trying to gather people's votes about what their favorite flavors are hoping that this could help others make future decision.

For those of you who've tried or are are using Shakeology, could you please cast your vote there? The poll is near the middle of the post:

Thanks so much!!

Cheers!

Seriously? Why not just contact a beach body coach, get 1 or 2 samples of each flavor, try them yourself and go from there?

$100 a month? I'm pretty sure I can get some good multivitamins and a buttload of chicken for $100.

Shakeology is where it's at! Everyone is entitled to their opinion, however I contribute my 30 lb weight loss (over a year!) to my hard work from TurboFire paired with Shakeology for breakfast every day! I broke it down to a shake that is $3/day and no longer purchased the coffee I used to drink and the poor food/drinks I used to buy from vending machines at work. If I didn't cut it out there, I cut it out from the fast food I used to sporadically eat. I made it work for me and I can't deny, the chocolate regular and chocolate vegan is ahh-mazing. 70+ ingredients in one and all your servings of fruits & vegetables never tasted so good.

Cheers to shake drinking of whatever shake of your choice!

First off, I am a Beachbody Coach. I would like to clarify a few things that have been said in this thread.

1. I started out with P90X, working out hard to lose the weight. Not taking Shakeology during the first month.

2. What Beachbody says about the benefits of Shakeology is true. I used to have crashes of energy in the morning and in the late afternoon. This stopped on the first day I started drinking Shakeology.

3. Cost: So many people have issues with the cost of $100 a month. Personally, after researching over a year and a half of different products that claim to be similar to Shakeology, Shakeology BY FAR beats them all.

4. Shakeology is NOT a protein supplement. It is a meal replacement shake, packed with nutrients and minerals and a complete blend of carbs, fibre and protein.

5. I'm not disputing that you can go to the store or a fitness retail shop and buy protein and vitamins. However, protein and vitamins will not give you the full benefits that Shakeology does.
a. Most vitamins are taken orally as pills that are not consumed in your digestive tract fast enough to get the full benefits.
b. To get a good quality protein is beneficial, and you get what you pay for.

6. I don't sell Shakeology as a part of my Beachbody business. If you want to try it, that's your decision. I don't push it, I don't hassle you.

7. I've done research at health food stores and fitness stores; and a good quality whey protein isolate (I-PLX) costs $89.99 for about a month. Fusion Strongman 30 day pack of 7 pills a day would be comparable, I suppose, to the macronutrients that you get from Shakeology. And that is $49.99. So, to compare the cost between these vitamins and protein vs. Shakeology, well, you do the math.

Do you need Shakeology? No. Will it help, and would I recommend it? Definitely.

The only people who will tell you that you need Shakeology sell Shakeology.

Bingo

Honestly,

You should really know your facts before spatting stuff out.

You are beating down a product that helps out millions of people.

But you can not find proven clinical evidence...interesting are you even looking.

Oh well, it really does not matter what any body says. You really need to check your GOD complex at the door.

Your entire profile read likes a beachbody salesperson (I don't call them coaches, because they aren't, they're salespeople). You're new here but there are policies in place to prevent folks like you from using this site to push their merchandise.

Ninerbuff is a long time member who's always been a big help and provided great information. Free of charge, never trying to push any products on people.

As far as healthy weightloss is concerned, I used to be obese and got those abs you're trying to get. I used MFP. It cost me nothing and the advice and support here has been invaluable. Sure beats spending hundreds of dollars a month on a crummy tasting shake.

*don't take it personally, I hate anyone pushing an MLM marketing scheme*
