SHAKEOLOGY does it really work?

I'm not loving it. I was very excited to try it but it leaves a sugar taste in my mouth that makes me crave more sugar. I haven't noticed any energy changes or anything except when I work out. I think I will go back to my Target brand protein powder.

ok not to be little anyone.....but anyone who would spend 120 a month on PROTEIN should stop what theyre doing immediately get in your car and drive as fast as you can to your nearest home depot and buy a screw driver to tighten the loose screws in your head.

But... But... It's cheaper than McDonald's.

If its cheaper than a completely unrelated product, it MUST be a good value!

I drink Shakeology, and am not a coach. I like the convenience of it, and notice a difference in my hair, skin, nails and cravings when I don't drink it. While I don't believe I can drink it and sit on the couch and expect to lose weight, I honestly know that I am paying for the convenience of having it delivered to my door and that I have it when I want it. It's a personal choice to make, and I think the only way you know if it's worth it or not is to try it. BB does have a great MBG so if you don't like it, just return it; nothing ventured, nothing gained. I'm not disciplined enough to go shopping for a whey protein powder and wonder if I'll like it, etc., so yes, $4.00 does seem like a lot but since I don't have a lot of time in the morning to make breakfast and sit down and eat it; it beats the bagel and cream cheese with a coffee I would otherwise have at Dunkin Donuts on my way into the office. The one benefit to me, in addition of the cravings, is that my nails always grow nice and strong (not an advertised benefit). It's a convenience drink, and if the $4.00 a day isn't an issue, I say try it. If it's not worth your money, you go to the next thing.

On the clean eating piece. Drinking Shakeology and NOT eating healthy meals for the rest of the day is DEFINITELY not going to work. Shakeology is not a miracle food; just a lot of good food ground for convenience. By now you've probably made your own decision since this thread is old, but thought I'd add my 2 cents.

I love Doritos; I contacted the manufacturer and unfortunately I cannot become a Doritos Coach; very disappointing

:laugh:

It wasn't a weight loss shake for me, but it did keep me healthy and give me energy. It kept me from getting colds and other illnesses and even helped me get my allergies under control.

Wow those are some pretty serious health claims. Exactly what experiments did you conduct to come to these conclusions?

I love shakeology so much I became a beachbody coach! It has done WONDERS for me

It isn't like you need to pass a Doritos Coach certification to call yourself a Doritos Coach.

You, sir, are now a Doritos Coach! Congrats!

I use Nature's Bounty Optimal Solutions Protein+ Vitamin Shake mix, a healthy diet based on the food pyramid (the last version before they went to the plate diagram), and multi-vitamins. Much cheaper. $119 for 1 shake/ day.

this is what I use... LOVE it! Especially since it has the multivitamin. Couple of the canisters I've purchased come with 2 dollar off coupons, so, a container could be anywhere from 9-12 bucks (at my local Marc's)
Amazon sometimes has decent deals on it, too.

It just sounds like a money making scam to me. Okay, maybe you might get results. But you can get results with just eating healthy and working out. Or if you really want a meal replacement shake try ones they sell in Walmart or your general food store. I drink an Ensure every morning. And people who say its only $4 a day, Thats $120 a month, which could cover a gym membership, plenty of healthy food, and anything else you may need.
Of course the final decision comes to you about whether or not it is worth it, but just really weigh the pros and cons. I have tons of places I'd much rather spend that kind of money on

It is funny how people don't think $4 a day isn't a lot of money. Maybe for some people it isn't.

That's $ 1,460 per year. For that we could get our haybine fixed, lay new water pipe to the barn, or make a down payment on a new baler. There is NO WAY I could justify spending that kind of money on myself.....!!

.in addition, if I want protein I'll eat something good like a ribeye steak with sauteed mushrooms, not a damned shake. I don't do shakes, period.

Does it work? It is the ONLY thing that works!

Without it, you are doomed to a life of obesity. The choice is yours, pay up or become 800 lbs by new years...

So that's where I went wrong... ahhj

Shakeology tastes great, chocolate is my favorite, with strawberry a close second and even though I don't usually like vanilla, I like the vanilla shakeology.

I think everyone is a little different with it. I don't use it as a meal replacement but after I workout. I don't think it keeps me fuller longer or prevent cravings, but if I am feeling snacky, which is always, I can use the chocolate to make a smoothie that is a healthier option then a gallon of ice cream. Quest bars do the same thing for me though.

That being said, I quit shakeology because it isn't anything special. I just wanted to try it for myself. It costs way too much for what it is.
