Shakeology protein shakes

Another shakeology thread...

Anyhow, I used shakeology every day as a meal replacement for breakfast. Lost 87 pounds. I loved it as a healthy meal replacement. It helped to curb appetite and it helped eliminate unhealthy cravings over time. Having said that, it is expensive. You can cut costs (up to $20 per bag) by purchasing bags on ebay. I never went through BB site or a coach.

If you compare the nutrition label on the back of the Shakeology bag you will not find "fake" ingredients. You will also not find chemicals. You will find those things in regular protein powder.

The ingredients in mine are as follows: pumpkin seeds.

There are tons of protein powders that don't have additives.

Shakeology is made up of superfoods. No artificial sweeteners. I can't wait to get mine back! My body works really well on it.. we have been penny pinching lately so I had to put it on hiatus but can't wait to get on it again! I like the vegan chocolate.

:laugh:
There are just as many "chemicals" in Shakeology as in anything else. As for the "Superfoods," that's also a joke. They put just enough of whatever highly processed powdered form of whatever ingredient they list to be able to list it in the ingredients list. If there was actually enough of all those ingredients in there to be effective, you'd need to consume the entire bag as a single serving.

Shaekology is an overpriced joke, that uses great marketing to sucker people in to buying it, with all these random buzz words like "superfood," but deliver nothing.

Also, I love how when someone says Shakeology is an overpriced protein shake, a coach jumps in and says it's a meal replacement shake. When someone calls Shakeology an overpriced meal replacement shake, a coach jumps in to claim it's NOT a meal replacement shake.

There's the label. Please tell me where the chemicals are??

The entire list is chemicals. Do you know what a chemical is? Also, how's that methylsulfonylmethane taste for you? It's an industrial solvent, also an ingredient listed in that Shakeo list you linked to. No chemicals, though, right?

I'm sure you're right. I haven't researched EVERY protein powder. I'm talking about the generic GNC type.. But why not just eat pumpkin seeds?

Because a decent protein with added pumpkin seeds would have more bioavailable and useful nutrients than the miniscule superfoods they embellish the label with.......science.

I like pumpkin seeds, but the reason I buy it in powder form is because I have a lot of restrictions on my diet, and it's hard to get protein. I can get the same amount of protein in the powder (9.5 g) for 55 calories as eating the seeds as a snack, for 170 calories.

It's $18 for 40 servings. It's been by far the best vegan (non-soy) protein powder I've tried, in terms of taste. (I can even drink it in carbonated water with lime and stevia, but I like to have it really blended into something, just because of texture.)

:yawn: :huh: :noway:

for one "blueberry" they have chemicals in them.

Am I correct in assuming you eat no blueberries then? I know that at least a lot of their ingredients are organic. Some are even hand picked.

What I don't understand is how there are so many RUDE know-it-alls on these boards. Everyone has different preferences.

You'll have someone telling you Shakeology is crap yet they eat big macs and whatever works in their "IIFYM". WHAT EVER.

And yet, we have been very successful. Perhaps, a shift in thinking is in order.

No, it's not. People lose weight all the time using different methods. Just because you've lost weight doesn't tell me you know it all. Look at my ticker. I also know how to lose weight. You eat less calories, you lose weight. I KNOW how my body felt eating clean and drinking Shakeology. You'll never convince me that MY BODY didn't feel better and function better.

Yes, I do eat blueberries, but I don't pretend they do not have chemicals..

How am I rude to challenge your assertion that shakeology has no chemicals in it, while other protein powders do? Just because you were dead wrong and got called on it, is no reason to get all but hurt about it..

Look, I am sorry your magical elixir has chemicals in it….feel free to keep wasting money on a product that does absolutely nothing…

You're right.. it's my decision what to spend MY money on. I don't get why you're trying to convince everyone on here. Just do your thing and everyone else can do theirs! GEEZ.

My problem is that too many people on these boards think they know everything about nutrition, yet have no degree on the matter. Just losing weight "qualifies" them to put other people down and judge what other people consume. It makes me sick.

I am sick of bullies and people who make snide remarks putting other people down, hiding behind the internet.

ETA: The reason I started posting here in the first place was for encouragement and ideas. Certainly not to read all the rude things I've seen in the past couple of days. Some people really think they are something.
