Shakeology 3-Day Cleanse Questions!

I started the 3 Day Refresh today! I'm really excited about the results to come. I also drink shakeology daily and have been for a few months now. It has really helped me with my Starbucks cravings. I was getting Starbucks every day up to twice a day. Now I am down to 1 time every 2 weeks. It keeps me full all morning until lunch also! Please feel free to friend me, as I will be talking about my results on MFP. Lindsey

After looking at my bank statements, I'd have to eliminate one money waster too

Threads like this make me wonder why there are no good memes about these "coaches".

Funny that you ask...

Shakeology has an awful lot of calories given the below average protein per serving. Plus it's stupidly expensive. You can buy much tastier, lower calorie, higher protein powders for much less money.

I like threads like this. Makes the coaches easier to identify for my ignore list (duh, they "out" themselves, I don't have to do a thing).

Saving this!

I've been a fitness professional for over 20 years and have used just about everything on the shelves and even some stuff underground in my early days.
First of all, you look ignorant if you respond and put your claim on fact of any product unless you have complete knowledge as an employee or have the research to back you up.

The real issue here is people are so desperate to lose weight, they try everything. They start with the right way, but don't have success for multiple reasons of error (lack of knowledge, support, follow through etc)
So they cling to the promoted stuff on the shelves in Vitamin Shoppe, Walmart (Slim Fast, Hydroxycut, Muscle Milk, that sprinkle on your food Sh8t, etc)
Some of it works for a second and others they just wasted their money cause they still never fixed the real problem in their life.

So if you are first of all looking for a cleanse, scientifically, the right cleanse can work with detoxifying your cells and the function of your body. (The right cleanse doesn't mean juicing, honey/cayenne pepper/lemon, starving yourself, eating veggies only, eating a truck load of bananas, Grapefruit….) You should still be eating a wide variety of food that include all of the food groups along with supplementation.

On the shake side, you can't compare 1 to another, unless they are the same product. 1 Protein shake on the shelf isn't the same as another one sitting right next to it. Just read the ingredients and it's a completely different fabrication/development. Alongside with the products that DO sit on the shelves in your favorite vitamin store are fabricated and man made with artificial ingredients, flavorings, and fillers to sit for shelf life. (think plastic)

What it really boils down to, do what YOU want to do. Every company has a refund policy. Tons of the people on this board who are throwing out their opinion of don't do this and you are stupid if you do that…etc..have been exactly the same as you. They have bought that Sh8t on the shelves desperate to make changes.

If you feel your body needs this and the research you have done matches to what your goal is, give it a shot. Worst case, return it to the company.

BTW, no supplementation will have an FDA backing on it. "The FDA does not approve any dietary supplements. However, the FDA does set regulations and guidelines for the manufacturing of supplements. When a regulatory agency like the FDA “approves” a product, it usually means that it needs pre-market approval, such as the case with pharmaceutical drugs. Foods, which dietary supplements are considered to be, do not require this. The FDA regulates or “oversees” both the safety and production of food/dietary supplements and pharmaceutical drugs but only drugs require “approval” before being sold on the market to consumers."
