It is just a short 3 minute video I posted on my blog at www.learntosharecookies.com (if you are interested in watching it) to share with others the harmful effects of drinking soda such as increased risk of diabetes. The video is showing the effects of drinking soda using cartoon polar bears (like the Cola polar bears) to…

I am a strong believer that if you eat clean (no artificial or processed junk) then your body will adapt to your new eating style and you will never go back. I have been eating clean for about a year now and I get physically sick if I go out and "splurge" on fast food, greasy restaurant food or packaged processed food.…

Aloha! I would like to help you out, but first I need you to answer a couple of questions so I can better understand your situation and provide the appropriate response depending on your specific situation. 1) How much more weight are you trying to lose? 2) What type of workouts are you doing, how many times per week are…

Actually, anorexia is a disease that impacts a person's metabolism and eventually cause death. It is DANGEROUS to drop your calorie intake too low because the body is then not getting enough fuel to maintain health at a cellular level. I would definitely categorize limiting your body's ability to sustain the proper…

It is very dangerous to drop daily calorie intake below your basal metabolic rate (BMR), assuming this person's BMR is around 1300-1400 calories, dropping their calorie intake to around 1000 calories will be detrimental to their body. Once you drop your calorie intake below your body's BMR, the body is unable to perform…

I love the Vegan Chocolate Shakeology! It is made with whole foods and therefore all of the vitamins and minerals are naturally bioavailable. I have never heard of Idealshape shakes before and I love comparing different health shakes to Shakeology (I have not found a better one yet, but I am on the look-out!). I am…

Aloha! :) I would get a heart rate monitor or a body bugg to track how many calories you burn. When you start a new fitness routine or format, you will burn more calories and as you become more in shape, you burn less calories doing the same thing. It is hard to track calories using MFP because the calorie burn is always…

Hi everyone! I personally drink the Chocolate Vegan Shakeology everyday! I LOVE it, but it is definitely not for everyone! Yes, it is expensive and yes you can just eat a meal instead of drinking a shake. But I personally use Shakeology for a burst of energy and quick meal before I go and teach Zumba! It is easy to make…

Shakeology is not for everyone. I personally drink Shakeology everyday and love it. It has done so many wonderful things for my body. I am a fitness instructor, I teach morning classes and I do not have time to make breakfast in the morning. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day (haha, I know you have heard that…
