    I have the vegan chocolate Shakeology. It's meh. I do it when I crave chocolate but honestly, I never noticed it doing anything for me or my bod.

    lol I am a junkie myself! I will admit I am a coach, but I only became one for the discount. In fact I haven't sold a single thing. They offer the coach opportunity for free for military families, so I joined to get the discount on shakeology. My husband enjoys insanity and I am doing T25 right now and loving it. When you break it down by daily cost, I pay a little under $3.50 per day for shakeology which is less than I was spending getting breakfast in the cafeteria at my work. The cost isn't worth it for everyone, but it is for me, I feel better when I drink it consistently.

    No offense, but I have seen this statement so many times, that I think there's some training material circulated by Beachbody where this can be copied and pasted from............."I am a coach, but I only became one for the discount"......."haven't sold a single thing"......."I pay a little under $3.50 for shakeology which is less that I was spending getting breakfast"

    Or you know... you could just eat your macros and make sure to have a varied diet to get your micros instead of paying $100/bag for a shake that tastes like a dirty booty.

    Come on.......be nice.......dirty booty doesn't taste nearly as bad as Shakeology.

    The Shakeology stuff does taste pretty bad. I got a sample packet of the chocolate one from my cousin and all I could taste after the initial hit of somewhat-chocolate-tasting-stuff was the horrible "fake" sweetener taste (I know it is stevia and whatnot, but they could have used dehydrated honey or some other natural sweetener that doesn't taste like *kitten*). I was tasting it all night and when I got up in the morning, was burping the shake up and it tasted even worse then. Eew.

    No thanks...you can keep your chalky shake. I am going to stick with whole fruits and vegetables and local pastured meats and eggs for my nutrition.

    I just figured out how to lose weight without having to spend much less money on Slim Fast through a higher cal goal as per TDEE.

    Now that I'm saving that amount of money and still losing weight, I don't really feel like spending even MORE money than that on Beachbody or Shakeology or anything really.

    In for legalized Ponzi schemes and salespeople calling themselves "coaches."

    I'm not going to knock the workouts, because I've done TurboFire and it's not a joke or gimmick by any means (I also liked Hip Hop Abs and Rockin' Body), but I hated Shakeology. I tried both the chocolate and the vanilla and thought it tasted like chalk.

    And no, I am not a coach, pretending to be one or anything else. Just a normal person! :)

    I laughed out loud when I read this because I had almost just added being a coach but just for the discount to my profile. I think the reason you probably hear things like that a lot is because if someone says they're a coach upfront, you assume they're a pushing something. If they don't tell you they're a coach upfront, you assume they're being dishonest.
