P90X Shakeology

I LOVE Shakeology!!!!

Shakeology is AMAZING!!! I love them! I have one every day...when I don't have it I don't eat as well! I decided to be a Beachbody coach because of how amazing the workouts are, but also because of how much i LOVE Shakeology! It tastes delish (I do the chocolate shakeology) and it fills me up! When do you think you'd want to take it? I have had it for both breakfast and lunch! Either way it's delish! I never had gas or bloating issues! It did help TONS with regularity tho!

It is super expensive, even for a coach, like myself. I have been using it daily for 6 months and have not experienced anything similar to it. However, there are other meal replacers. A good whey protien shake with soy milk or skim milk will fill you up and has lots of protien and Branch Chained Amino Acids (BCAA'S). These will keep you full for an extended period of time. I personally love EAS whey and can get a huge bag at Sams Club for around $30. This lasts a good 2 months

After comparing different companies Meal Replacement Shakes, I found one that I love and that stands above all the rest! It keeps you feeling full, increases your energy, helps gain lean muscle and has tons of nutrients your body needs!

Good luck whatever you decide!

I love both Greenberry and Chocolate Shakeology. I take it everyday. It's true that it is expensive, but you get what you pay for.

Shakeology is just an overpriced name brand product....you can buy the same thing for a fraction of the cost. I've only tried a few samples of it, I couldn't work 130$ into my budget for a meal shake when I can buy the SAME THING at my local GNC.

Sorry hate to disagree, but nothing at GNC is anything like Shakeology. I've have looked at both GNC and Vitamin Shop. Just saying....

care to address my points on why Shakeology isn't nearly what it's cracked up to be and no way worth the price?

This Video explains it all. I would show a PDF of the ingredients but I'm not sure how to post it.

It's not like they just get the ingredients from anywhere. The creator actually goes to the countries and sees the process that they are harvested. He travels all over the world looking for the best ingredients. Then Beachbody improves their facilities so they can keep up with the demand. They put the best of the best and more then what the body needs because they know the body will get rid of some of it.

::Sigh::

I have the ingredient list in pdf form, instead of giving me marketing hype, let's look at some specifics

Generally speaking what is the most expensive vitamin in multis and in shakeology?

how does the absorption rate of Magnesium oxide comepare to lets say magnesium chelate?

At what amounts have green tea extract been shown to be beneficial?

if this is an MRP, why use whey?

I'm not even going to begin to know the answers to these questions, but I will contact the creator of Shakeology Darin Olien and ask him these very same questions. As soon as I know the answrs I will post them here.

But yet you told me to get my facts straight on another thread when I basically said the same thing about the ingredients.
Here's the facts: it's made by a 3rd party and Beach Body slaps their name on it. There is basically no regulation on bulk raw products shipped to the US from other countries and to be used in most protein powder supplements, so saying that the raw material is pure (with no fillers or additives) would be speculation. That's why it's cheaper to make it, which is great for an MLM company because they can make great money.
If Optimum Nutrition (whose products and raw materials are made and regulated in the US) can sell one of their best protein supplements (Nitrocore 24) for .87 cents per serving compared to $3-$4 per serving for a cheaper product, that money is basically split up to pay several middle men along the way. It's not because the shake is of better quality.

WHY do some people on here have to be mean and snarky with responses?

Find a Beach Body coach and ask for some samples of the flavors, give them a try with some good recpies (like I personally LOVE chocolate with banana and almond milk, and then Lemonade with greenberry) if you like it and can swing the price than go for it one month and see how you feel after that one month. If not than no big deal, go try a few other meal shakes and find one you like!
I personally like shakeology. I tried a few kinds of other shakes and made my own with whey and I happen to like shakeology. Im also one of the few people who love greenberry, trust me...it's a weird taste! IM also a BB coach (hello discounts!) but I would really rather see people find something that works for them vs something BB sells. Yes it costs, this month I couldnt fit it in my budget so Im on whey again, hopefully next month I can buy another bag though.

Good luck in whatever you choose!
other people on here need to get over themselves and be not so much jerky...

Wrong! It is not made by a 3rd party. The CEO's wife and Darin Olien are the ones who created the product. Like I said I will answer when I know the answers.

Lol, creating a product and being manufactured by a 3rd party is common. Look at practically ALL supplement labels for this to be true.

This from the AD STAFF of Beach Body: Shakeology is manufactured in a facility that is registered with the FDA, adheres to current Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) and is GMP-Certified by the NSF (National Science Foundation) and the NPA (Natural Products Association).

Notice it doesn't say "a Beach Body facility in Santa Monica CA" (where Beach Body headquarters is located). And as healthy and as "organic" as it is supposed to be, it doesn't carry a "CERTIFIED ORGANIC" label. Why? To keep cost down so they can make more money.

Oh and GMP relates to manufactuers in CHINA.

WHY do some people on here have to be mean and snarky with responses?

Mean? Lol, some don't like to hear the truth I guess.

yes mean, down right mean sometimes. Everybody here is going to have different opinions and views on basically everything this, however, it not an open invite to be jerks about your opinions. Although I know this won't stop some, it would be nice to click on one post here and there and not see snark.

my honest opinion is that I dont know if shakeology is superior to anything else. I know it has a lot of good stuff in it that I dont put in my shakes and dont take vitimans for. I know that it works well for me and sometimes I can swing the $90 a month to buy a bag. If not than no big deal I have a jug of whey and I mix up what I can.
