Shakeology Vrs Slim fast?

until you try it, you can't say for certain it doesn't do anything for you.

Until you try heroin, you can't say it does bad things for you.

See how silly that is? Personal experience is anecdotal and meaningless when it comes to health.

do you listen to yourself sometimes? that makes absolutely no sense.

The plural of anecdote is not data.

"This product I'm selling did amazing thing x for me!" is not evidence.

you said "it doesn't do anything special for you"

prove it, since you're all about evidence.

Prove that it does do something special. It's not anyone's job to "prove" that some MLM magic supplement doesn't do anything amazing.

If you want anyone to believe this is some magic superfood, then tell us about how the few grains of brazilian organic free-range grass-fed coconut husk is going to have any measurable impact on their health.

you want to prove to me that probiotics aid in digestion?

how 'bout Yacon:

The intake of FOS (yacon), however, led to a significant reduction of the proinflammatory cytokine IL-1β in macrophage cultures and elevation of the levels of fecal IgA. Together, these results indicate that the daily consumption of yacon does not exert negative effects on the immune system, helps to preserve an anti-inflammatory state in phagocytic cells, and improves mucosal immunity, possibly preventing the risks associated with autoimmune and metabolic diseases.

you just have to do a little research.

..... "in macrophage cultures."

Here's the part that led them to actually conclude that yacon consumption "had no negative effects:

"No significant differences were observed in food intake and weight gain when the experimental and control groups were compared. Also, serum levels of IgA, IgM, and IgG; nitric oxide production in peritoneal macrophages; frequencies of T and B lymphocytes in the spleen and peripheral blood; T-cell proliferation; and production of interleukin (IL)-4, interferon-γ, IL-10, and tumor necrosis factor α did not differ in the different groups."

In other words, in the raats, which ate 5% of their diet as yacon there were no observable effects whatsoever.

In other words, large amounts of yacon - amounts many times larger than what a person would get from Shakeology - had no observable effects in the rats.

Next?

In phagocyte cultures from rats. That's not evidence of anything, certainly not evidence of any beneficial effects in humans at 1% of the dose given in the study.

on what animal do they test aspartame?

Offtopic, so this is my only post on the subject: aspartame has been extensively studied in many animals, including humans.

don't listen to me

You heard it here first folks!

So, I just tried my first chocolate Shakeology today (a friend gave me a sample)... and I really must say I like Slim Fast a lot better.

lol wut.

slim fast is not even a remotely similar product to shakeology...

shakeology is not even remotely similar product to actual food.

Eat food people. Food works.

i agree with this.

where do i get food people

Everything found in Shakeology is from whole or raw food sources.

i'd rather just eat that food then...

Shakeology has lots of nutrients in it and if you're body is not used to all the goodness then I think it takes awhile to get used to. It also really depends how you prepare your shake. Did you friend give you suggestions for making your sample?

There really is no comparison between Shakeology and Slim Fast. Everything found in Shakeology is from whole or raw food sources. All the vitamins and minerals come from those super foods. Everything in Slim Fast is chemically processed and man made. I guess if your not big into where your food comes from then it doesn't matter, but you pretty much get what you pay for

My friend told me to add...

the 1 serving shakeology she gave me
1 banana
1-2 tbs of peanut butter
1 cup milk
1/2 cup water
6-8 ice cubs
and 1 tbs of vanilla extract or agave nectar

Sure they are. They're both nutritional shakes. It's really the marketing that's very different.

says someone who's never compared the nutrition facts/ingredients list.

they're not remotely similar.

Indeed I have.

Slim-fast:
Calories 180
Fat 6g
Carbs 24g
Protein 10g

Shakeology:
Calories 160
Fat 2g
Carbs 21g
Protein 16g

Not really very different. They're meal replacement shakes. Shakeology has a little less fat and more protein.

calories, fat, carbs and protein isn't ingredients you DA. Sugar is the main ingredient in slim fast which obviously isn't healthy and they are trying to cover up the horrible aftertaste. cellulose gel... mmm found in ky lube... artificial sweeteners out the wazoo... yea that's healthy alright. of course you will lose weight drinking something under 200 calories for a meal, but doesn't mean it's healthy. you guys have some warped brains if you would drink something that is nutritionally bad for you in order to lose weight. just because you are desperate to do so doesn't mean u gotta take extreme measures and fill your body full of artificial crap that is going to do you more harm than good in the longrun.

Did somebody just say "Himalayan Sea Salt"?
