I personally take Shakeology and love it! I dont drink it so much to lose weight but to give me nutrients that I dont get because I am very picky and sensitive to foods. Its gives you some energy and since im not a huge breakfast eater thats usually the meal i supplement it for. If you want to look more into it you can go to my website and check it out its http://myshakeology.com/oliviablumberg . Im not trying to sell you anything but only trying to help you out
Interesting 1st post.......with a link that takes you to an on-line order site.
" Im not trying to sell you anything but only trying to help you out " i that's on a par with "Trust me, I'm from the government" :laugh:
Bingo! That was my thought from the first post. Between Shakeology People and the Body by Vi people, they just never stop. I had a friend request out of the blue a wee or so ago. I state in my profile please send me a message with any friend requests. nothing. I looked up the person's profile and it was all about Body by Vi. I'm sure the request was a very exclusive one that went out to 200 or so other people too! LOL0 -
I'm not selling shakeology but I do use it. I would rather drink this shake than take pills/vitamins every day. I have found that I have more energy when i drink it and that I digest food alot better. I don't have cravings to munch until lunchtime and I'm not hungry. Yes, it is expensive. But it certainly is convienient when you work 45 min. from where you live and don't have the time to make breakfast and do not want to go through the drive thru. It cuts down on calories and tastes delicious (the chocolate w/ milk and peanut butter anyways. ) I dont drink it every day but I do about 3-4 times a week. So a months supply usually lasts me about 2 months.0

It is best to understand what is first- I did some homework on this topic
It is WAY more than just a protein shake
It builds your immune system, lowers cholesterol, lowers blood pressure, aids digestion, cuts down on food cravings, provides energy, works as an antioxidant and loads the body with ESSENTIAL great nutrients.
Reality is most people just are not going to get the proper amount of vitamins and minerals needed day to day to truly FUEL the body with great nutrition. It would be great to have 4-6 purely fresh, organic and foods all day but who has time and the money to do that? The concept of putting it all in one shake makes sense. Cost is $4 per shake, what does Starbucks cost?0 -

Are there studies that demonstrate these assertions or are these claims made by the maker of the product? (There doesn't seem to be a whole lot of truth in advertising these days, especially in relation to dietary supplements and weight loss products)0 -

Thanks!

Why don't you just share the info in this thread, can you answer my questions about it?
I was wondering how the forms of vitamins in ShakeO compare to some of the better multis out there, such as AOR Orthocore?
And since all their superfoods are in prop blends how do I know any of the ingredients are in efficacious dosages?
I have some more questions, but let's start with these0 -
Why not stick to real food?
thats quite a rude response.
Have you ever thought that maybe their using a shake to just help them get extra minerals and vitamins?
Its not always about using a "quick fix" to lose weight.
Shakeology is crap. If your diet sux, fix the diet.
^^^EXACTLY!0 -
Why not stick to real food?
^^^ THIS!
If you work on learning to make good food and good food choices, then you will not be stuck depending on a product0 -

Write the company. I am not a doctor and do not claim to be. I am just trying to lose weight and get fit like the rest of us. These questions would be for a doctor or Team Beach body themselves. Thanks!0 -

Like I said these are questions for someone with more knowledge of it. I am new to the beachbody community and all I know is what I read on the nutritional facts on the back of the bag and my own testimony with drinking it! The details are for a doctor to advise you on such a situation. I am just a coach. Please dont be rude to me and badger me with questions.0 -

It is my opinion that there are better tasting products out there that can do the same thing for you. Have you tasted shakeology yet?0
-
I have drank Shakeology and love it. It has kept me full until lunchtime and has a good amount of protein in it. I know that others say other drinks are cheaper, have more protein, etc. but for me, I love it and it's my first choice taste wise.0
-
I tried it, and I didn't like the taste. I'm currently doing Body By Vi and I think it tastes a lot better, and it's lower calorie. I still eat "real" food, and you can add lots of low calorie stuff to your shake.
I love Body by Vi and it does taste great! It's a tool like calorie counting, getting active etc...

So you are coming here advocating something you don't know much about? That says it all.0 -
I got a sample packet from someone and actually enjoyed the taste. However, it is way overpriced. I opted for the Arbonne protein shakes just because I hosted an Arbonne party and got 50% off my purchases and have been looking for a protein shake. I'm adding shakes in order to get to my calorie goal, because I'm typically way under it because I don't eat enough for how many calories I'm burning during exercise.
To each their own, but do your research on various brands to see where you're getting ripped off. There are so many options out there, Shakeology can't possibly be the only good one. Good luck!
And ignore all these rude people... Isn't MFP for motivation and support?0 -

Is motivation and support more important to you than seeking truth?0 -
I loved it! It was delicious! It kept me full for hours. I did not do it to necessarily lose weight, but did the shakeology program with a friend and I loved it It is yummy and so good for you!
Those of you who say we should just stick to food and home cooked meals etc, what would you suggest that would give as many health benefits as the Shakeology does? If you have something similar to the Shakeology drink you can recommend, I would love to try it, because Shakeology is super expensive. I tried it and loved it because I felt really healthy and it made me feel better all the way around. I would love to find a good protein powder or some other shake, because I loved the Shakeology but can't afford it, and it's much easier than eating breakfast 0 -

I think she's meaning people could post things in a kind and friendly manner. The person who posted the question obviously wanted opinions, but just because she didn't know something you did, or you know something about shakes that she does not, doesn't mean that your answers couldn't be posted kindly instead of treating her like she is dumb for asking the question in the first place. Let's be kind to each other.
THAT'S what she means by motivation and support!!!0 -
I use 2-3 protein shakes a day, usually before and after workouts, and I do one at night around 9 ish to kill any hunger lol. I find them very helpful and I log them, they usually take up about 1/4 of my cals for the day so I still have 3/4 to eat. If it works for you I say go for it! And I know some people who drink shakes like that as a quick breakfast in the morning.0

Not at all, but the way some people are responding is unnecessary. You can tell the truth without being rude, you know.I got a sample packet from someone and actually enjoyed the taste.

I like it, I use it...never try to push it on anyone. Everybody has tried something at least once to see if it works for them or not. If you choose to try Shakeology, go for it. If you don't like it, return it and get your money back. That way, you will know for yourself if you want to continue to use it or like it or not 0
