Sorry, I have no success stories for you but I do know that I have friends that have done it... They did very well on it.. Once they started to introduce regular foods instead of the shakes they started to gain it back.
the only bad thing I heard about it so far !!!0 -

you're not supposed to drink shakeology in place of all your meals - just one of them... or as a supplement like I used to. and no, it's not a "quick fix". If you stop drinking it and start eating more calories than you're drinking with shakeology and you end up going over your TDEE... well... you'll gain weight. pretty standard.0 -
Results? It's food. What do expect to happen?0

I just use it as a supplement to get more protein in my diet, not to replace meals. It tastes like a protein powder and isn't some magic shake that will cause you to lose weight or anything, you log it like everything else.0

I have drank it for over 4 years now.... my cholesterol went from 157 to 108, I am never sick, I am never tired, I workout 6 days a week and I am 53 years old,,,, there is nothing on the market that compares in my opinion, everyone thinks they know all about it but I am a Beachbody coach. I know the people that created the formula, I know how these ingredients are cultivated and the quality .... its NO SlimFast, haha If you want to be healthy I suggest using it. People that say it doesn't taste good are people that eat JUNK ... its not ice cream... I think its GREAT and am sad each and every day when I get to bottom of my drink... People want to talk about cost,,, the problem is not the cost, the problem for them is its an EXCUSE. So YES I believe it to be worth every penny.0

My in laws drink it religiously every day for breakfast. Not only do they love the taste of it but they have both changed drastically since they started. More energy, better mood, they work out six days a week (they're doing insanity together) and I've even noticed that my mother in laws skin looks fabulous since she started. They are dropping weight. It's not a weight loss shake, but it does help in the process.
Me, personally, I used to hate the chocolate shakeology but since I last tried it they've remade the chocolate formula and I have a new bag now ready to try. I'm very excited.0 -
I've recently started using Shakeology and I love it. I'm in my second month and it has helped me kill my sweet cravings. I have been able to stop eating baked goods and candy since my cravings have subsided. I have more energy and have been able to keep up with my workouts.0

I don't get how people change how they eat, and workout 6 days a week, but their only explanation as to why their cholesterol went down, and why they have more energy, and feel better is because they drank a shake full of vitamins your body doesn't need. Talk about having the wool pulled over your eyes. Try giving yourself some credit for once.0

You could just watch your calories, and introduce additional vitamin supplements into your diet.....0

I am drinking chocolate shakeology on my 4 th week, have lost 9 lbs so far. I replace one meal a day with it. I love the new formula. I feel this has helped me jump start my weight loss I have been stuck for so long. I also work out and try to eat clean not all the time but defiantly much better than before.0

You can get your vitamins from a 15 calorie vitamin pill, and from your food. I also should have beem more broad with my statement, because there are a whole lot of things that shakeology gives you minimal of that you don't need.0 -

Supplemention works for some folks but the bottom line is "Eat less calories and burn more." The best diet/lifestyle change is the one that you can stick with life long.0 -
I believe she means you get your vitamins from eating healthy foods and/or taking a multi-vitamin. Your body can only absorb so much, any excess is wasted. Like Sheldon Cooper said "you're just buying expensive urine."I don't get how people change how they eat, and workout 6 days a week, but their only explanation as to why their cholesterol went down, and why they have more energy, and feel better is because they drank a shake full of vitamins your body doesn't need.

Or you could drink shakeology, considering that it tastes fantastic, it's quick and convenient to make, people with limited time in the morning can drink it for breakfast in the car on the way to work. It's PACKED with superfoods that you simply cannot get anywhere else. Your body DOES need vitamins and shakeology gives you things that a regular "vitamin pill" doesn't. There's nothing in shakeology that is bad for you and there's no reason not to drink it other than the excuse that many people use: cost. When in reality, it costs no more than their daily latte at starbucks. Hmm.0 -

Obviously the OP did not mean for this to be a discussion of the merits, but a place for others to share their results/experience, BUT I couldn't help responding to your snarky statement.
Taking vitamins daily is cost and effort sustainable for most people's ENTIRE life. Drinking an expensive shake that must be "reordered" from overzealous salespeople is not. P.S. I don't know *anyone* who gets a $4 Starbucks every day of the week, sometimes twice (as some people do with Shakeology) but maybe I live in a different world than you do. One where people have better stuff to spend their money on, like kids/houses/cars/groceries. Hmmm.0 -

I guess someone doesn't live in NYC/LA/Chicago/etc... Starbucks is a way of life for millions of people. My girlfriend will grab Naked Juice constantly - which is even MORE than $4 a pop and gives you a fraction of what Shakeology's got in it with a days worth of sugar to boot.
Does anyone NEED Shakeology? No. Is it a good product if you prioritize convenience and can afford it? Yep. It's a luxury product people, just the way a mercedes is more expensive than a honda. Just because you're not interested doesn't make it "bad" for people who can fit it into their budget and like it.0 -
There's nothing wrong with shakeology... Besides the MLM nature of its sales structure and hilariously exaggerated health claims.
The product itself is fine. It's just a shake. It's not miracle powder, it won't make you lose weight, etc.0 -

Yes, as I said, a different world. And, if the other world is where people tell me that I should take something because "there's nothing bad for me in it," and that there's "no reason not to take it except cost," I guess I'll stick to my vitamin-aisle, $1 plain coffee world. I'm betting we'll get the same results.0 -

same sales structure as every other shake fancy shake (Herbalife/Body By Vi/Advocare/Shaklee/etc) but at least it's the superior product among them. whether you feel that makes it the best shake out there, or just a giant among midgets is irrelevant. you wanna tear into MLM shakes, there are plenty that deserve it more. haha0 -

well there are plenty of reasons to drink shakeology if you're not worried about the cost, i just figured you wouldn't be too interested, and frankly i'm not interested in hawking it either... so we're good!

I thought shakeology tasted absolutely nasty. Nothing beats a clean healthy meal. Something you can actually CHEW.0

My reference was to the poster above me---it was pretty much a direct quote from her.0 -
I started drinking Shakeology when I started my first round of Insanity (i just started the 2nd this week) and I love the results. Ive lost 40lb so far.( I didnt join MFP til after my first 15) Yes you could take vitamins and eat healthy but for me cooking for 5-6 meals a day is virtually impossible. Not to mention that all of the ingredients that Shakeology has I would probably never eat, if you havent actually seen the ingredient list i advice you to look into it before saying you can get that from healthy eating. I honestly feel more energized with it. Ive tried not drinking it for a few days and I feel the difference. I work nights and since Ive been on it Im more "awake" at night during work. I love it and would recommend it to everyone, at least to try it for a month.
The end (:0 -

I hate Starbucks.
And $120+ for each bag is a lot more expensive than some coffee anyway. The reason people complain about the cost isn't the price per serving. It's the damned $120 upfront cost.0
