21 Day Fix

I'm on day 11 and so far, so good! I'm getting used to just being sore everyday. I didn't buy the Shakeology either because I love eating real food too much. But, it is something I'd consider in the future. I bought the Fix and the Fix Extreme. I tried the Extreme DVDs and they are really hard - definitely have to follow the modifier!

Hi! Love that you are so motivated and positive! You will do great with the program if you stick with it. I'm doing bodybeast and love it! I love my shakeology too. I noticed an increase in energy and alertness within my first few days of using it! I would totally recommend it. Such a high quality shake!

At $4+ per shake, it's quite expensive and I don't see a benefit. Of course a friendly Beachbody coach will tell me all about why I must do Shakeology and how I can get a discount by becoming a Beachbody coach.

I'm starting 21 day fix tomorrow - looking forward to the structure and accountability. Would love to share recipes and tips.

I've used Shakeology before and in my opinion not a waste of money. It tastes far better than any other protein shake I've tasted. It's made from quality ingredients. I certainly don't believe it's any kind of miraculous thing - just a good tasting quality protein shake. There are others that are just as good - but I happen to like this one.

I find it interesting that people look on these boards just to find and comment on something they haven't tried and don't believe in. I say to each his own - whatever works. If there was one magic fix we'd all be fit and healthy and there would be no obesity! Just my two cents. Good luck to all in your journey.

And so it begins with the multi level marketing!

I like 21 DF have done a round and looking to do another one. I have tried shakeology chocolate and currently have vanilla. I kick myself for getting it in a challenge pack that I got back in January be to me it's not that great. In order to use it I mix half a scoop with a half scoop of my regular whey protein. To each their own. I personally won't buy it again. I'll stick with my current protein and make my our shakes.

I am using shakes to cut calories and I can tell you the stuff they use to promote things like shakeology (or the brand I'm using) is pure rubbish. They don't promote healthy weightloss. They don't promote long term weightloss and they certainly don't teach you proper nutrition. You don't need to have tried snake oil to know it doesn't work long term. The argument you have to have tried it to have an opinion is also rubbish. I don't want to get punched in the face. I don't have to have tried it to have an opinion about that.

For those about to ask I'm doing Intermittent Fasting and the shake I'm using is just to help me get my nutrition in on my low cal days. That's it.

I agree with you completely - that was the point I was also trying to make - it isn't magic! I like the flavor of the Shakeology and am using it but I certainly don't believe the hype or that it's anything other than another shake option. It's one of the more palatable for me personally as I find it doesn't have the real strong Stevia aftertaste that others do. It's certainly no miracle but it is convenient for me in the morning when I'm running out the door, and I like the taste. I have little tolerance for the multi-level marketing aspect, I'm not a coach, do not have a coach, and have no interest in getting one or becoming one! I simply go online and order my Shakeology and workout DVDs for myself.

My concern is not so much with the fact that people haven't tried things and then comment, its a concern that there seems to be people out there who are jumping on boards just to attack something without any positive comments. I appreciate the fact that we are all doing different things and I like to hear peoples opinions, both positive and negative. If there's a reason behind someone's opinion, then it's great to share - that's why we're all here! Where I get worried is where there are people who don't offer anything other than a one line attack - I'm just seeing that so much on MFP recently and I think we're all here together to share and offer support, not attack anyone's choices. Some of the posters have a long history of saying nothing but one line negatives about everything - I'd love to know what they are doing that works for them since they dislike everything !!

I don't have to try Shakeology to know that it is, at best, a mediocre product sold via a MLM program. I can also look at the listed price and determine that at over $4.30 per shake, I can get a protein supplement and multivitamin at a fraction of the price.

A simple calorie deficit has lost me over 20 pounds in the past couple months and it will lose me at least 40 more. Using MFP for free has helped me maintain it. No gimmicks, no MLM, no coaches trying to upsell me.

I just started mine today ! I skipped the Shakeology and went with Body Lab. I'll see how that goes for this week and if I don't like it, I'll take out the shake in general and replace it with an extra protein.

I have to try out the workouts, as mine will be done tonight ! But let's do this !

I commend all of you for jump starting in the best way for YOU! (I skipped over the basher comments)
