Ok So these shakes I started my first one yesterday. And both days afterwards I feel sick to my stomach, then a couple hours later I get super tired? Then I start to feel like I should eat to stay awake all though I am not really hungry. Why is this?

    Are you drinking it in the place of food or just adding it as a supplement? If you are living on it without eating real food, your body is probably telling you it wants food.....

    You need to eat more!! Shakeology puts in your body vitamin and nutrients your body needs and it craves more - if you are feeling that way you need to eat more and it needs to be protein - not something filled with carbs - let me know if you need any help ~Stephanie

    What are you making it with? Water, milk, juice...that could be a cause as well.

    Could be sugar/carb crash? If your eating a flavored yogurt they tend to have a lot of carbs and fruit also has lots of carbs due to the sugar content. Are you mixing with water?
    I would try having it with some additional protein/fat like add in some PB or almond butter. Or have some egg whites with it to round out a small meal.

    Are you using Full scoop or half a scoop from the bag? Or the packets?? What flavour do you have? I use half a scoop with skim milk and add some ice and blend in a blender and sometimes add a banana with it! But you can use it as a meal replacement a snack and post workout drink!!

    well if it's free you wouldn't feel bad about throwing it in the garbage or giving it away, if anything is making you sick or crash you probably shouldn't use it. I've had pre workouts that made me feel like dookie before and i tossed them, even after i paid for them.

    BTW FYI!! It's a bottom of the bag guarantee If you don't like it you can return it for your money back!! I don't think it's real nice to make hose kind of comments on here when someone is asking for some help!

    telling her to take the whole bag when it makes her sick is a good idea????? How much sense does that make!

    Seriously op if it is givng you stomach problems STOP using it immediately, beach body product or whatever product don't use a supplement if it makes you feel like poo!!

    Hi

    Just so you know ive tried so many ways to help my weight loss. Slim fast, supplements, soup sachets, and even more shake diets. It helped me for a short term maybe an odd pound there and here, but the best way i have found is to eat healthy.

    I know everyone says it [trust me ive heard it all] but ive lost far more from doing this. Instead of stacking up the pasta and rice, ive opted for more veg. [Even big portions too]

    Ive been doing this for just over a month now [I was the biggest yo yo dieter out there] and ive lost 16 pounds! Over a stone.

    Trust me when i say this, just a small change to you diet makes a BIG change on your body. Its hard at first [Heck it WAS] so im not going to tell its easy.

    Best of luck my lovely hope this has helped :)
    :flowerforyou:

    I've heard the green berry ones cause a lot of people to feel like cr*p after...try the chocolate. Blending it with ice works wonders.

    Ok I will see if that helps out. Also might try a half a serving.

    Right! OP, take the whole bag while feeling like crap. Then return it.

    I looked up what is in the shakes. It has a bunch of ingredients that are basically botanical speed. Plus, it has these wonderful ingredients:

    Amylase: When used as a food additive, amylase has E number E1100, and may be derived from swine pancreas or mould mushroom.

    Papain is usually produced as a crude, dried material by collecting the latex from the fruit of the papaya tree.

    Lipases serve important roles in human practices as ancient as yogurt and cheese fermentation. However, lipases are also being exploited as cheap and versatile catalysts to degrade lipids in more modern applications. For instance, a biotechnology company has brought recombinant lipase enzymes to market for use in applications such as baking, laundry detergents and even as biocatalysts[23] in alternative energy strategies to convert vegetable oil into fuel

    Along with papain, bromelain is one of the most popular substances to use for meat tenderizing.

    Ashwagandha in Sanskrit means "horse's smell" (ashwa- horse, gandha- smell), probably originating from the odour of its root which resembles that of a sweaty horse.[

    :noway: :noway: Sounds legit to me. :noway: :noway: :noway:

    Because it's junk and you aren't eating. Return the stuff. Get your money back and eat food.

    It's not junk. However there is an diet plan, supplement, shake, workout routine, etc... for everyone. Find what works for you and stick with it.

    Everything works, nothing works forever.

    Biggest thing...ignore the trolls on here.

    truooth

    by the way- protein powder- is MOSTLY just dehydrated milk.

    gram/dollar- milk is something like 43g/ to 1$ where a shake is 45g to 1$

    seriously- on sale- it's not even a competition- just EAT REAL FOOD. Milk is a power house for protein. No really- it is.

    I just clicked on and enlarged the nutrition/ingredeints panel at http://trek2befit.com/shakeology-ingredients. It is quite possibly the most ridiculous, everything-but-the-kitchen-sink list of herbs and chemicals among these snake oils. Your sick feeling may be caused by a sugar problem and eating too little but it may also be because you are allergic to one of the many plants represented. As a hay fever sufferer, I bet this stuff would have me sneezing and sniffling for hours since most Celestial Seasonings "teas" give me the sneezes!

    Eat actual vegetables not "spinach powder" and "pea fiber" (two of the more benign-sounding ingredients). If you like shakes, throw some frozen fruit in the blender with yogurt and milk. If you need a multivitamin, though most of us don't, take one. And go to the doctor to get a glucose tolerance test or the like.
