I'm sure I'll take lots of smack talk for this but here goes.
I am a beachbody coach. Yep, admittedly and proud of it.
It's something I do part time and am fortunate that I don't need the money.
By day, I'm a toxicologist and age group triathlete with multiple finishes up through the half iron distance.
A lifelong friend of mine lost nearly 80 lbs with p90x, insanity, and asylum. I had gained 30 pounds after
A traumatic event and had finally convinced myself it was time to do something about it. So I did p90x
Lost the 30 lbs in about 7 weeks and dropped to about 12% body fat without shakeology. Yes without!
I entered my first tri in over 5 years and broke a personal best by 7 mins. After eating healthier than I ever have
I was still having digestive issues and had multiple doctor and specialist visits. In short, I was told to eat better.
But I was eating better! I was taking fiber supplements and stool softeners just to not be in pain. So after dropping to about
8% body fat and in the best shape of my life and eating healthier than I ever have in my life I ordered shakeology.
After two weeks I was off all the fiber and stool softeners. It made a dramatic difference in my quality of life. So I use it.

As a coach: I have never not offered to help someone who wouldn't buy shakeology from me. I have never told someone I
Lost all my weight with shakeology. I didn't lose any weight taking it. I simply tell them the truth. I take it because it has over 70 exotic foods in it that have helped my digestive system. I eat healthy but I don't get near the variety of foods that I get with shakeology. And even if I could buy them locally I wouldn't know how to prepare them. In my opinion it taste really good and is developed so that you can add calories and make lots of different recipes. I no longer crave desserts, candy etc, because I really enjoy my shakeology.

I'm proud to be associated with bb because they promote both exercise and healthy eating. They aren't built on the premise of living off 2 drinks a day to lose weight. It takes a combination of healthy eating and exercise. Shakeology is great for those people who drop $7 a day on a mocha frappuchino or can't resist jelly beans by the bag, or those who struggle with making all of their meals fit in their calorie or macro goals. Even a recent study noted in GNCs magazine indicated meal replacements can really help people on the go. I recommend what I use. Whether it's sold by beachbody or not. Things like quest bars, ultragen by first endurance, ironman perform intraworkout, and ultimate muscle protein by Beverly international.

So bash all you want. My team has had some amazing transformations. Several of their before and after photos have been ripped
Off and posted in false ads on Facebook claims they got the results in a month and it took the guys a year. There are lots of bad seeds but I'm just here to tell you there are good ones too. As for bashing MLM's. It's no different. A lot of people try to feed off their friends and family and it doesn't work. I tell everyone who is interested on joining as a coach that this is not a get rich quick scheme and your family and friends will not buy anything from you. It's as much of a business as you put into it. I'm proud to say that 90% of the coaches under me are still at it. Truth will earn your success.

Finally I would say that in just a few short weeks of being on the MFP message boards there is a lot of smack talk. I agree who foods are the way to go. But it's difficult for a lot of people so if there is a way that can help. Why bash it? I find it hilarious that a these clean eaters love to recommend some of the harshest preworkouts out there. Eat clean but drink chemicals
To improve performance. I find that a bit comical and hypocritical. At the end of the day if that works for you, great. But, don't hate on what I do. I workout with crossfiters, mud runners, marathoners, and triathletes. Some of them use shakeology and some don't
But they are all down for a great workout.
