    I did the Shakeology 3 day cleanse. I did not like the taste of the chocolate in the beginning. After about 4 shakes and learning that the more ice, the better. I was able to get them down. Of course, for the cleanse you can only mix them with water. I can see how it would be better mixed with other things. The greenberry....ummm no. Yucky, yucky and yucky. I lost 6 pounds in those 3 days and only gained half of them back. I did this 2 weeks ago. Since then I have lost those other 3 pounds. My husband said he felt amazing during it. Shakeology has some wonderful nutrients in it. Good luck!

    lol I did the cleanse with greenberry! ...it um...grows on you! I cant wait to try tropical!

    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.
    Find what works for YOU
    I spoke in matters of facts. No name calling, no degrading of anyone personally.

    I'm just curious which "coach" a.k.a. "I sell *kitten*" won......I am also proud to say that I do have BB coaches on my friends list and I have NEVER seen them jump in like piranha's every time they see the word "Shakeology". Also, kudos to the one guy that is a BB coach and suggested that other brands can, in fact, do the same thing. That's a stand up guy! :smile:

    I am not a beach body coach. I do not sell anything. I got some Shakeology from a friend who is a Beach Body coach, and am using it until it is gone.

    I have tried several protein and meal replacement shakes, Slim Fast, Curves, Some Walmart brand stuff, and Shaklee. Honestly I thought they were all NASTY! It is not the taste it is the texture.

    I tried the chocolate shakeology flavor plain, and it tasted ok but couldn't get past the thick texture. I tried it with more water and not much better texture wise, but I found if I pour it over shaved ice and add cold coffee to it, I like it that way.

    Honestly it is no more expensive than what I was paying for a Starbucks frapuccino everyday and it is much better for you than Starbucks. I will be using what I have until it is gone and will not be purchasing any. I don't like it well enough to use it everyday but have a pack in my purse and some at home and the office for when I need a quick meal.

    I just don't think meal replacements are for me, but get a sample from someone who sells it and make the decision yourself.

    To answer your questions since no one else seemed to address them, I am filled up with it, and not hungry when I drink it. I did not experience gas or bloating at all.

    Thanks everyone for your responses. I have tried other products but I always end up feeling really hungry and gassy. So I'd rather spend a little more money and not have either of those feelings. I'm going to give a try.

    It's possible, this is your bodies way of saying it wants to eat food.

    All I can do is explain how it works for me. Notice the title of the original post. I didn't come in here and say buy from me. In fact I didn't even come in here until some started bashing the product. As far as explaining goes, sorry if I don't want to give wrong information. Like I said the title says Shakeology in it, why did you come in here? Did some force of nature make you click the button?

    Sorry I'm not an Certified Personal Trainer, hey did you know a lot of those trainer don't know what they are talking about either? Oh wait you guys know everything. Must suck to be so miserable.

    Hello Folks,

    I'm gonna put this thread on lockdown.

    It's gone pretty far down the path of getting personal, and too many posts are starting to make judgements about the posters, rather than the content they're posting.

    As a reminder of one of the forum rules;

    4) Do not attack/slam/insult other users. The forums are here so that members can help support one another. Attacks or insults against each other takes away from the supportive atmosphere and will not be tolerated. You can discuss the message or topic, but not the messenger - NO EXCEPTIONS. If you are attacked by another user, and you reciprocate, YOU will also be subject to the same consequences. Defending yourself, defending a friend, etc. are NOT excuses. Violations of this rule are taken very seriously and may result in being banned without warning! If you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all.

    Have a great day, regardless of whether you choose a meal, or a meal replacement.

    Thanks,
    Steven
