    I've read 1/2 this and then have become bored, but it sounds like you have already tried a variety of shakes ... including shakeology (ie you've had numerous samples given to you from your coach??) ... totally confused and can no longer read hahaha

    Really the discussion about "chemicals" being in Shakeology is all semantics. WATER is a chemical. Everything has chemicals in it.

    Shhhhhh!!! Chemicals are eVil!!! And water is fatal in large doses.

    Oh shoot, and drank a half gallon of water so far today... What's gonna happen to me?

    You're already dead . . .

    At least I don't have to make dinner. LOL

    Poor David Hannum. He's the guy that actually said it, intended as an insult toward Barnum.

    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.

    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.

    there are no chemicals in shakeology.??? Really??????

    Please provide a list of the "super foods" contained in shakeology…?

    http://images.beachbody.com/tbb/store/shakeology/pdf/ShakeologyCholocateVegan_Ingredients.pdf

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

    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.

    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.

    you made claim that was factually inaccurate and got called on it…that is not bullying, it is called correcting an incorrect statement.
    I'm still waiting for her to explain Shakeology's use of methylsulfonylmethane, a sulfuric industrial solvent, in their vegan chocolate shake. You know, since they apparently don't use chemicals. Funny how my first post about it was ignored.

    stop being a bully by correcting incorrect statements...

    I'm using Slim Fast shakes once a day for the convenience, portability & cost. It helps me stay within my calories & I still eat real food. Just throwing in my two cents in the protein shake ring. I know nothing about the other brands. It is helping me lose weight, too.

    I thought about taking Shakeology shakes, but in doing a search for reviews, I found Green Vibrance and in searching for reviews on Green Vibrance, I found Maximum Vibrance. It lists every single ingredient on their label. Most ingredients are organic, each serving has 23 grams of protein, 6 grams of fiber, basically has every single vitamin and mineral you need most of which are derived from plant sources (as opposed to synthetics you will find in your traditional multi vitamins). It's definitely worth a look if you're interested in meal replacement shakes. I usually just add some cinnamon and an additional 10 grams of fiber. The flavor isn't great, but I don't think it's a horrible flavor either, but it does take some getting used to.

    Only three days that I'm there for 10 hours. The other 2 days are approx 6 hours and I'm able to eat dinner at home, yay!! Not incl weekends where I eat all meals at home :smile:
    Many people work this 5 days a week and can still make lunch. If you tired of it, then it's more of whether or not you're really willing to do it rather than should you do it.
    Drinking a shake does neither. I'm just looking for something quick thats tasty as well.
    Well you mentioned you're tired of making food, so it sounds more like you'd rather use a meal replacement out of convenience. I get that some may be pressed for time, but if it ends up being an everyday thing, then my question again is do you plan this to be how you continue consuming calories?

    I'm tired of planning all my meals for the work day (just those three days) sometimes I go without dinner because it.s easier. Just looking for a quick way to consume calories without the preparation that's involved.
    Well then wait till you have a family.
