Huge. Waste. Of money. Don't do it!!!

While I'm sure that the product is good, I believe that the best way to be successful at not only losing weight, but maintaining that weight loss is to learn how to eat with regular, store bought foods, and eat the proper portions. Drinking shakes every day might get to be a little bit of a challenge (wouldn't you miss chewing food?), and then what do you do after you've lost weight and you start eating regularly again?

Just my honest opinion.

Whatever you decide to do, best of luck with your goals!

Stick to real food and work it into your meal plan for each day. You can have ANY food you want......as long as you work it into your meal plan. The more you try to "get one over" on your body, the more it will tend to store fat....or put it back on really quick......plus even more than when you started the "quick fix". You can do this!! We are all here to cheer you on and support you!

I agree with this. In my opinion the best way to lose (and keep off) weight is through actual food and learning portion control. Drinking a bunch of shakes doesn't teach you how to eat properly.

couldnt agreee more xx

If someone is looking for a magic pill to lose weight or something then it's not it. Can it help you lose weight? Well yes, just like any 140 calorie meal replacement can. Are their cheaper protein type shakes that will help you lose weight as a meal replacement? Sure. But for me, it's not just about losing weight, or frankly losing weight at all as I was doing just fine before Shakeology. It's about nutrition. I care about what I put in my body, and the volume of nutritious items in Shakeology is through the frickin roof. It would be hard to get that amount of nutrition in a normal daily diet with typical corporate farm produce fare coming from ground in Mexico that has long been devoid of any beneficial minerals. Shakeology is about providing those key minerals and antioxidants for you that the typical American diet does not. If fills a specific need that some people want, which is why I just have to laugh at these clearly uneducated generalizations like "waste of money", especially when they aren't backed up by any personal experience much less sourced research. I don't want to link anything less I violate the rules here, but if you are seriously thinking about it just google it and read about the product, what's in it, and where those items come from and most importantly what they do for your body. That's what I did and that's why i started using it, not because of what someone here said about it. And I'm happy I started using it I feel better, more energy, and it's so filling I don't need a morning snack anymore.

I wholeheartedly agree with this. Shakeology is nutrient dense and the nutrients it contains are not readily available in our day to day lives, yet our bodies benefit greatly from having them. I drink a shake a day, usually for breakfast, and have since February. My IBS is GONE (and I had struggled with that since high school), my hypoglycemia is under control and I have tons of energy. My husband has also had a a shake a day since February and his bad cholesterol was lowered by 20% and good cholesterol increased by 25%. He no longer has to take Lipitor. You don't get benefits like that from a protein shake, some cheap diet shake like Slim Fast etc. There is simply nothing else out there on the market like Shakeology. Do your research and if it is for you great. If not, that's fine too.

When you live to 100 please come back and let us know about how Shakeology helped you do that with its "miracle" nutrients not found in food. If you get cancer, please let us know that to so that we can all have peace of mind that we were right, that Shakeology is not a miracle food, it’s just another “food” (arguably) with vitamins.

Yay to the 10 millionth posting on Shakeology, stop with the duplicate threads for the love of Jebus!! (yes, deliberate spelling error, you'll get it if you like The Simpsons).

If someone wants to man-up and send a freaking sample to Canada (it’s not the arctic people, Toronto is pretty much the 51st state but with the benefit of FREE HEALTH CARE for our non-obese populous and like 1/50th the crime rate!!!) then I'll be less cranky about being anti-shakeology due to the cost.
