    I refuse, REFUSE to buy snakeoil.

    Shakeology
    Body By Vi
    IT Works
    SlimFast
    MegaSuper Green Tea Acai Poopberry Smoothies with extra Fat Burner Awesome Sauce

    Snakeoil. The lot of it.
    Shakeology and Slimfast just can NOT be put in the same category. I've had two friends take the ingredients of Shakeology to their very SKEPTICAL nutritionists. Both were impressed and actually were interested in samples. Slimfast is sugary, grocery store crap with none of the health benefits. If people think Shakeology is over priced and not worth it to them....cool...I get it....but it is NOT in the same line as Shakeology. Get information first.

    And the sales pitch begins . . .

    Sun, she's been on my FL for a long time and is not a BB pusher (if she was, she wouldn't be on my FL). She found something that works for her. Personally I don't think that Shakeology is worth the price because you can get the same benefits for less from alternative products that taste better and don't cost as much. I think it's seriously lacking in protein for my needs, blah, blah, blah. However, no matter how you look at it you have to admit that Slim Fast is to Shakeology like lemonheads are to lemons.

    Slice it any way you like, but that looks like a sales pitch to me.

    Y'know, it seems that no matter what someone says who uses Shakeology and likes it (or in my case, loves it) there are people who will slam us and say things like "and the sales pitch begins". I have used other shakes. If you feel that another shake works for you, then post it here. Please don't attack another person for having a different opinion than you do. I really liked the EAS AdvantEdge Carb Control shakes, but I wasn't getting the same nutritional punch that I get now. I was paying $2 a day for EAS and now I pay $3 a day. It's not that big a difference for me and I feel like I'm getting better results with it. I don't want anyone to buy ANYTHING from me. I have an opinion and I wanted to express it here. IMHO, the shake I drink it worth it. I would never ever ever drink SlimFast. It's garbage. This is not an opinion, it's a fact. Read the ingredient list. It's junk. Read the shakeology ingredient list... or read the EAS nutrition list. BOTH of those are better than SlimFast!!

    What one should look at is whether or not they plan to use shakeology the rest of their life since weight loss and maintenance is more about a total lifestyle change. ANY program that offers a good calorie deficit will work if one sticks to it. What one has to look out for is a program they KNOW they can do for life.

    It has a fairly decent nutritional profile for what is essentially a "convenience" food.

    Having said that if you have to depend on convenience food it may be time to take a close look at why that may be....

    i never tried it and not planning too. i look at this way, sure it will work for a minute. BUT once you stop, you will gain the weight back plus more. losing weight is great and all. but ask your self are you going to drink that stuff the rest of your life, just to staying skinny? eat food eat healthy food. and you dont have to worry about it.
