Is shakeology a ripoff?

apparently, you skipped basic nutrition class though….All these shakes/meal replacements are a rip off. Nothing, but NOTHING, replaces a healthy balanced diet...certainly not a glass of toxic chemicals.
LOL. Do you even know what Shakeology is? Clearly not if you think it is a glass of toxic chemicals. Shakeology contains more than 70 NUTRIENTS… proteins, vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, phytonutrients, adaptogen herbs, prebiotics, probiotics, fiber and digestive enzymes.
LOL, do you even...meal replacement? Slim fast has vitamins and protein and carbs and replaces a meal for only like 89 cents when you can find it on sale. Plus you don't have to recruit anyone else to buy them from you to get your "discount", or find and make besties with the seller who may or may not be an actual coach and may or may not return your desperate calls or emails when you run out of your holy grail of fitness and diet. You just walk into any drug store or supermarket and take it to the counter and pay. They even have bars that you can shove in your purse. ...and the best part? You don't even have to mix them with 400 extra cals worth of ingredients to make them "taste so good as long as you...".
Slim Fast doesn't have nearly the same kind of nutrients nor the same quality of nutrients Shakeology has. And you don't have to add 400+ extra calories to Shakeology in order for it to taste good. It tastes good on its own. It tastes even better with strawberries or a tablespoon of peanut butter which certainly doesn't add up to 400+ calories. I took all honors math courses in high school and college… so I know math

I used shakeology for 4-5 months. I recommend the product because it did 3 things for me: 1. It helped control cravings. 2. It was a nutritious alternative to my usual / regular breakfast. 3. It was convenient and a time saver.
To save money, I purchased 30 day bags off of ebay. I never purchased from a coach or from beachbody site. Even though it is marketed as a protein shake, it really is more of a balanced meal replacement option.
There are very strong opinions out there against shakeology and meal replacements in general. To each their own. It was one element which I incorporated into a health & fitness plan that worked for me. I used shakeology to replace my regular breakfast (peanut butter and jelly on a bagel). I then began an exercise routine, and began using MFP to track caloric intake and the result was down 84 pounds and ran 2 marathons. It's not necessary, there are plenty of alternatives. But I loved it.
BTW, a search on shakeology, and you will find quite a few threads on here.0 -

LOL, I took those classes too, but then I went to the school of hard knocks where I got my real education. Good luck with your shakeology! :flowerforyou: I'll be right here with my inferior quality slim fast laughing all the way to the bank. :drinker: :drinker: :drinker:0 -

Oh I guess we are implying it is fancy? What if I told you I can afford it too? But that I don't buy the mumbo jumbo about the superior quality b/c b.s.? What if I also told you when I find two similar items and one is easier to get and allows me to spend my money on frivolous shiny things I prefer, I go that route? Does that make me broke?

Hahaha no actually, I've taken many nutrition courses since they're required for my major. Not only have I taken multiple nutrition courses, I've gotten a 98 or better in every course. I have a 4.0 GPA so don't ever try to disrespect me and my intelligence. I know my stuff. You on the other hand clearly haven't done research on Shakeology. You're just pulling things out of your ignorant *kitten*. I haven't seen you post anything worth reading or any valuable information on this forum. So before you make comments on something you obviously know nothing about, therefore making an *kitten* out of yourself, I suggest you do your research Shakeology.0 -

I don't know if it's a ripoff, but based on the responses here I would say that drinking Shakeology makes you moody and unpleasant.0

Also, it lends it somewhat of an air of legitimacy that may fool people who are less smart and may not be able to afford wasting their money on it but get duped. I tend not to want to reward people for trying to pull shenanigans on others for profit. But whatever...

bahahahahaha you are a pretty funny….hey, I got a PHD in advanced physics..because I post it on the internet then it must be true…
Never used shakeology and maintain about 11-12% body fat through lifting heavy, eating in deficit and/or surplus, and hitting macros < but I guess doing all that is "ignorant"….right, the geniuses use shakeology, eat six small meals to avoid starvation mode, and workout with 10 pound dumbbells doing a million reps each…0 -
Yes. It's an overpriced low quality protein shake.0

The fact that you think Slim Fast and Shakeology are similar is just amusing to me. Take a look at the ingredients in each. They don't even compare. Shakeology is expensive because of the quality of super foods in the product. Sorry but your Slim Fast is processed hydrogenated sugary crap. If you think Slim Fast is healthy, you don't know the first thing about nutrition. Slim Fast was even labeled as NOT HEART HEALTHY.

All meal replacements do is lower your calorie intake. You can eat a 300 calorie meal, instead of a meal replacement. Lol. It's not that difficult to figure out what's going on. You lose weight because of the decreased calories, not because of the shake.
So true! :drinker:0 -

Fast food nutrition facts - mystery ingredients are industrial chemicals

I have never tried it because it contains Stevia which wreaks havoc on my digestive system. I just finished my first 5 weeks of T25 and I have lost roughly 10-15lbs. I do use a plan protein powder for my protein pancakes and a few other things but I basically ate healthy most of the time and stayed around my calorie goal. I'm hoping to lose another 10 then see if I really need to lose any more when I start P90x3.
So I vote you don't really need it to get results. Just determination.0 -

lol.
Apparently you didn't take honors avoiding-MLM-scams though...All these shakes/meal replacements are a rip off. Nothing, but NOTHING, replaces a healthy balanced diet...certainly not a glass of toxic chemicals.
LOL. Do you even know what Shakeology is? Clearly not if you think it is a glass of toxic chemicals. Shakeology contains more than 70 NUTRIENTS… proteins, vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, phytonutrients, adaptogen herbs, prebiotics, probiotics, fiber and digestive enzymes.
LOL, do you even...meal replacement? Slim fast has vitamins and protein and carbs and replaces a meal for only like 89 cents when you can find it on sale. Plus you don't have to recruit anyone else to buy them from you to get your "discount", or find and make besties with the seller who may or may not be an actual coach and may or may not return your desperate calls or emails when you run out of your holy grail of fitness and diet. You just walk into any drug store or supermarket and take it to the counter and pay. They even have bars that you can shove in your purse. ...and the best part? You don't even have to mix them with 400 extra cals worth of ingredients to make them "taste so good as long as you...".
Slim Fast doesn't have nearly the same kind of nutrients nor the same quality of nutrients Shakeology has. And you don't have to add 400+ extra calories to Shakeology in order for it to taste good. It tastes good on its own. It tastes even better with strawberries or a tablespoon of peanut butter which certainly doesn't add up to 400+ calories. I took all honors math courses in high school and college… so I know math
I don't care about MLM scams. MLM or not, I know what it did for me when I was drinking it. And since I can afford it, why not?
Oh I guess we are implying it is fancy? What if I told you I can afford it too? But that I don't buy the mumbo jumbo about the superior quality b/c b.s.? What if I also told you when I find two similar items and one is easier to get and allows me to spend my money on frivolous shiny things I prefer, I go that route? Does that make me broke? Or a dummy who can't get into honors classes?
The fact that you think Slim Fast and Shakeology are similar is just amusing to me. Take a look at the ingredients in each. They don't even compare. Shakeology is expensive because of the quality of super foods in the product. Sorry but your Slim Fast is processed hydrogenated sugary crap. If you think Slim Fast is healthy, you don't know the first thing about nutrition. Slim Fast was even labeled as NOT HEART HEALTHY.

Most of those things have no proven benefit beyond being anti-oxidants. Also, humans aren't meant to eat grass.0
