Shakeology--Does it work?

I love Shakeology and drink it daily as my breakfast. You may have to adjust to the taste at first, but it is well worth it.

shaekology wont help you lose weight by its self despite what people tell you.
its just a meal replacement. and a good one. with a lot of good stuff in it to help with nutrition but don't expect diet miracles on it. they are called supplements for a reason. Make sure your diet and workouts are in check first

It "works" because it helps you consume fewer calories. Calorie deficit = weight loss. You can do that just by using MFP, with no shakeology at all.

If you want to use it feel free, but please know that it's not a magic solution and you're basically paying for someone else to control your portions, rather than just learning to control them yourself.

I drank Shakeology for awhile...and it is an interesting nutrition supplement. I don't think that eating or drinking any specific thing helps with weight loss though. To lose weight, you need to consume fewer calories than you expend. Track your intake here and you should accomplish your goals. If you want to drink Shakeology while doing that - go for it. Personally, I stopped. I felt the benefit did not meet or outweigh the cost.

I found this website http://www.mealreplacementshakereviews.com/ which offers good information about meal replacement shakes. I'm not sure if it is biased or not, I don't think it is, but you can never be sure.

Good luck!

What is your definition of work?


it's a shake, you get the same results eating any other food

I used Shakeology for a little over a year and only stopped a few months ago when I found myself using it less and less. I still have a bag left and use it on occasion in a shake or just as a quick meal but I no longer make it a staple in my food log like I used too. Do I think it helped? Probably. I did lose most of my weight while I was using it but I can't say it was because of the Shakeology that I lost it. I also watched what I ate and started running. It does have a lot of nutrients in it so I always felt like at least if I had managed to miss out on other fruits or veggies throughout the day that shake would at least help fill that gap. It is expensive which is actually one of the reasons why I cancelled it but if you want to give it a try for a month and see how you like it (and you have the money) then I would say go for it.

In the past few months that I have been off it I am still losing weight, mostly because now at this point I have a familiar routine and know what to eat and what works for me. Shakeology was a nice meal replacement that I just got used to having for breakfast but after a while I realized I would rather have food instead so I would make the shake a snack later on (I made it bare minimum with just one scoop and water). You definitely don't need it to lose weight, watching cal intake and what you eat will do that. A bit of exercise will help too if you are able.

Shakeo isn't a weight loss product, it's a protein/superfood shake mix. I use it daily, just one of the up to seven times I consume calories. I feel awesome, but fully recognize it might not be for everyone and that is fine. I think there are lots of different products out there because everyone finds that something different works for them than may work for someone else.

Others are correct when they say you do not *NEED* Shakeology to lose weight. I lost a hundred percent of my weight before I ever gave Shakeo a try. I eat a pretty well balanced, good diet. I feel like Shakeo only adds to that so it works great for me.

Many weight loss products will also advise that you exercise moderately, monitor your calorie intake and drink lots of water in accordance with that specific product. The side effect of a healthy lifestyle is a healthy weight, so you shouldn't feel like you ever NEED something to take weight off for you. You can do it.

All that said, Shakeo is expensive (I don't mind the cost anymore, but it's tough at first) so if you really do want to try it I would suggest you purchase a taste sampler through your coach first. It's four packets, three flavors. That way you can try a variety of flavors without ending up with a whole bag of stuff you might not even like.

It's an expensive low quality meal replacement shake. You would be better off buying protein powder and making your own delicious shakes.
