Guru, The intent is not to replace every meal, just one per day-if even that much. I only use it about 6 times a week.

Guru, I suppose it depends on how many calories one wants to consume. When I make a shake for lunch I choose to make it with about 1.5 times the suggested serving size. So while it does cost more per serving, $4.50 vs $3.00, that is just the way I choose to make them. For me it is not about the money, I like the benefits…

I have used Shakeology for about a year, my experience has been positive. I use the chocolate, which I have come to like quite a lot, the greenberry, in my opinion, is barely edible. Please understand Shakeology is a meal replacement NOT a protein shake. I make this point because there are a few people on MFP that are…

Congrats on all the great decisions. Unbelievably, I am from Tiffin, Oh too; left for college and never went back.

Rush Limbaugh Played golf with Charles Nagy (Pitcher for Cleveland Indians ~'90-~'00) and Santa Claus – several times. Actually he was just at my house about a week ago.

Thanks everybody, I appreciate all the nice comments.

Having similar values is one of the most important parts of making a relationship work. Move on before it gets harder to do so.

Both are worse.

Anytime someone asks, “Should I leave my boyfriend?” If you come to MFP to ask for advice on leaving your boyfriend, don’t waste your time giving us all the details, just assume the answer is “yes”.

I use Hal Higdon's training guides. He has something for runners at any level, training for any distance. His site also has tons of great advice.

I have a personal goal to get my body to the point where it is worthy of waxing. Don’t know if I would keep it waxed, but I would give it a try, hopefully by summer 2012.

Here we go again.

Starting with a round of P90X followed by lots of running after the weather breaks, mini-marathon, full marathon, then finish the year with P90X2.

Bro, Great job. I must confess whenever I see an overweight pastor the question in the back of my mind is “does their physical discipline matches their spiritual discipline?” You’re a great example to your congregation and family.

It matters because marriage, a vow, is different than dating, not a vow. Also, marriage is a civil union recognized by the law and in most cases a spiritual union as well. Dating is a couple of people getting together.

Really? You have to ask this question? There is a difference between dating and marriage. It is sad that this would even need to be explained, but it is what has become of the institution in this society. Marriage is a vow, that is, a promise, to cling to another individual through all of life’s ups and downs. A promise…

I can write mirror images, forward with my right hand backward with my left hand, at the same time. When I was in first grade I was ambidextrous. When my right hand got tired I would switch to the left. I thought this was normal, but my first grade teacher thought I was left-handed and stopped me from writing with my…

6 egg whites on either Ezekiel bread or Arnold's multi-grain flat buns. If I feel like some extra calories I will throw in a Shakology shake. And coffee, of course.

Acg - thanks for the props, the challenge and the opportunity to educate myself a little bit. It was fun. I appreciate your insight and understanding of nutrition...and I am jealous of your abs. Later, Ric

I just received the following response from Shakeology.com... Hello Ric, Thank you for contacting Team Beachbody. I am sorry for the delay in response. Here are the answers for your questions : 1.MRP's do not require slow digesting protein. Whey protein isolate is the highest quality and greatest biological availability.…

I posed the following question to Beachbody three days ago... I am having a discussion with someone online and they are asking questions that are over my head. Can you help with the following? Since shakeology is a MRP, why does it not use slower digesting proteins such as micellar casein or a blend of proteins? Why does…

I am going to ask the people at Beachbody these questions. It may take a couple days to get a response. I’ll let you know what they say.

I do not know. My thought is that the folks at Beachbody have reasons for each ingredient they selected. Those reasons may be based in science, they may be based in economics, or they may be based in both.

1. Is Shakeology manufactured in a facility meeting the following compliance standards? NSF Certification Guideline 306 NSF GMP Registration Policies GMP requirements in NSF/ANSI Standard 173 Section 8 NNfA GMP Certified The FDA does not approve any dietary supplements. However, the FDA does set regulations and guidelines…

Not sure what study you are citing, and didn't intend on getting into a debate about Maca, but according to a study by G. F. Gonzales and associates on the effect of Maca…”An effect of Maca on sexual desire has also been described in normal men treated with 1.5 or 3.0 g Maca per day during 12 weeks in a randomized…

There are a lot more benefits to Shakeology than a protein shake or the concoction you mention above.
