3 Day Refresh

I am one of those "coaches," I'm not looking for one. I guess I'm a bit confused as to why we're constantly being attacked for not having qualifications. I've never claimed to be a fitness expert or a nutritionist and I don't attempt to give my customers advice that I'm not qualified to give.

People attack your title of "coach" because its a false title. A coach is the expert those under him or her look to for instruction and knowledge. You just told us you can't perform the basic function of the position.

I'm here to motivate and support people who are looking for some extra encouragement, that's it.

That's a cheerleader. Your proper title is cheerleader. Or salesperson.

Ta! Sounds like herbalife? Or arbonne?

Herbalife is a bad one, too. Not sure what Arbonne is, but if it's a too-good-to-be-true weiht loss product that your Facebook friends keep trying to sell you, then yes, it's an MLM. Avon is one, too, but they aren't so bad. They actually have legit products that people like.

Yes that is true and I was not aware of the rule at that time. I just started using the message boards and I had done a look at the FAQs and didn't see anything against it so I am no longer breaking that rule. It was an honest mistake but thanks for continuing to point it out. I'm not sure what you have against me. I'm honestly here trying to help people and use MyFitnessPal just like you. I just happen to also be a coach that mentioned my product when answering somebody's question not realizing that was against the rules.

But why would you want to swindle people into spending money that they could use for something else into buying a product that they don't need to lose weight? Nothing against you, personally, I just don't like to see people on here trying to make money off of someone who may not know any better.


Shakeology is an espensive protein shake. You can get the same effect by going to Wal-Mart, purchasing a large tub of whey protein, and incorporating a variety of fruits and vegetables into your diet. Nothing that BeachBody sells is necessary or more helpful than a healthy diet and exercise.

Here's the research you requested.... Independent clinical trials have been done by medicus research!

"Avon has legit products that people like...."

Well I'm a person and I legitimately like TurboKick, Insanity, P90X, T25, PiYo, and yes Shakeology. All are legitimate products that work! I've lost over 100 pounds using their fitness programs.

But...that's a commercial for Shakeology. Not research...

population: 50 people
interval: every 30 days, for 90 days
measurements: weight, compliance, reported hunger, total cholesterol, and hgbA1C (hgbA1C levels were reduced 5%, and up to 19%) are you kidding me???

9.8 pounds

I JUST FINISHED MINE! I've seen so much negativity and people attacking coaches and the product that I've decided to post my before/after pic of the 3 day refresh, it is sized funny, so I hope this works: {looks like it cut off the last pic there, but the dark blu are the before's, 9.8 pounds down}
I've had TWO 10 pound babies and I've lost over 100 pounds using the products that people are bashing (surely without trying)

Do you not see my profile pic? Can't fake 100 pounds in 15 minutes. I lost 9.8 pounds on the 3 day refresh per the scale. Why do you think I'm lying? Where are your transformation pics?

Good for you! I'm always a bit happy when I see I've lost some water weight per the scale, even though I know it's not fat loss. It's a mental thing, I guess. But, it is impossible to lose 9.8 lbs of FAT in 3 days.

That is a 34,300 calorie deficit. In 3 days.

About the transformation pics, I'm happy that Shakeology helped you achieve a calorie deficit for long enough to lose 100 lbs. But you lost 100 lbs because you ate at a caloric deficit, not because you used Shakeology. I guess if I spent that much money on something useless, I'd have to justify it somehow, though. So if it makes you feel better to say "I lost 100 lbs because of Shakeology," then do what you've got to do. But don't try and sell it to people who don't need it.

And I don't have transformation pictures, because I'm at the beginning of my weight loss after two children. Just because I have just begun, doesn't mean I'm not smart enough to know that I don't need snake oil to eat at a reasonable caloric deficit. And I'm only trying to help others who may be reading this thread realize that they don't need it, either. But thanks anyway.

Have a nice weekend :flowerforyou:

Yes I eat all organic foods if it is in my control

Um.. there are many ingredients that are in processed food that are not good for you.. or may be carcinogenic etc etc. Do your own research to find out it out. Processed foods aren't good in general.. I thought this was common knowledge. Anything processed.. hot dogs... sausage.. some frozen foods... etc etc list goes on. They contain a lot of ingredients that your body has a hard time digesting. Again do your research.. I have and still continue to do so to find out what is good for my body and what isn't.
And to name JUST ONE... Carrageenan .. it is a thickener.. mainly for diary and it is carcinogenic.

I think I have answered your questions.. you just aren't getting the answers you want. Sorry for that.

Carrageenan is seaweed lol

These posts are very rude. I do p90x3 and love it! It is great for toning up and losing inches. It is a program that people use to get fit which is what MFP is all about. Tradings stories - seeing results - learning about new programs etc. No one was trying to sell anything/just looking for result information from a large group of people who may have possible tried it. So in my search to see if anyone had any positive experiences with it - it was just all rude attitudes. And no, I am not a coach. I do have a coach and do not purchase shakeo because it costs too much money. But if I am feeling unmotivated I reach out to her because most likely she has been in the same boat and can share experiences. It is good to have a workout buddy or someone to talk with about working out because the normal person - who is not into working out doesnt want to hear about it. It is nice having a support system!
