SHAKEOLOGY

 

I have ALWAYS been a doubter of any kind of shake, whether it was a "diet" shake, protein shake or meal replacement shake.  I grew up when Slim Fast shakes were the craze.  I tried them, got sick and swore I would never try another.  I always felt like they were all scams.  They were supposed to be good for you, but if you ever read the list of ingredients, the amounts of sugar and sodium were more than you were supposed to consume in 2 days.  All the ingredients are man-made.

I even refused to try Shakeology when I started my first workout group.  In fact, I wouldn't even think or talk about it.  I just assumed it was like all the other shakes and I didn't want to put that in my body.  I figured that I could workout consistently, change my poor eating habits and I would be fine.  Well, I did ok, I was losing weight and changed my eating A LITTLE, but I was still struggling with eating fast food for breakfast and craving chocolate.  After being in my third workout accountability group and reading everyone's posts about how they loved Shakeology and how they weren't craving junk food anymore I decided I would at least read up on it.

 

 

Then after I did my research and found that EVERYTHING in it is from the earth, nothing man-made I thought hmmmm I might do it.  Well, I looked at the price and thought 'there is no way!"  My coach asked me how much I was spending a day on my fast food breakfasts, bagels and such.  I had not really thought about it because it was a daily purchase.  I added it up and realized I was spending around 25% MORE on those terrible foods than I would if I bought a month of Shakeology. 

As the saying goes, "the rest is history!"  I have been drinking Shakeology for around 25 months now.  I quickly noticed after about a week of drinking it, that I suddenly was not having those 3o'clock snack food cravings, nor was I tired by the afternoon.  I was still feeling energized and felt great.  I couldn't believe it, nor did I want to.  I just couldn't believe that a meal replacement shake could make me feel this great!

 

Now, did I love how it tasted the first time??  NO!!  I thought "oh my goodness this is not good!"  So, I called my coach and said ok I don't think I mixed it correctly.  Sure enough, after a few more tries, and finding the right mix for me, I started LOVING the taste!  You get awesome recipes that come with it, as well as there are multiple recipes on my Shakeology website, www.shakeology.com/twrogers that helped me find the shake for me.  At first I was mixing it with unsweetened almond milk, now I just use water, lots of ice, 1/2 a frozen banana and then my flavor of choice and whatever fruit or add-ins I choose. 

What is Shakeology?
Shakeology is a nutritional shake that provides a wide spectrum of healthy nutrients in a low-calorie formula.  Whether you use it as a meal replacement for weight loss or simply to ensure your body gets all the nutrients it needs for optimal health, Shakeology takes the guesswork out of nutrition.

What's in it?

Shakeology contains over 70 ultra high-quality ingredients conveniently located in one glass, to deliver nearly all the nutrients you need to maintain a healthy diet.  It's good for you, and good for everyone, because everyone's diet is deficient in some of the key nutrient groups packed into just one Shakeology serving.

Protein from whey, which is highly absorbable, gives you 8 essential amino acids that help you build muscle, lose weight, support brain function, and keep your skin and bones healthy.

Vitamins and minerals support optimum health.

Antioxidants boost the immune system and help reduce free radical damage that can lead to heart disease, heart attacks, blood pressure, and stroke.

Phytonutrients support immune function and have anit-inflammatory properties. 

Prebiotics support digestive and immune health.
Digestive enzymes help in the digestion of foods and increase the absorption rate of those foods for optimum health.

What can Shakeology do for you?

It is an effective way to help you lose weight, increase your energy and be the healthiest you can possibly be.  Shakeology can help you reduce cravings and promote healthy digestion and regularity. Shakeology recomends that you replace one meal per day with a shake along with regular exercise and a balanced diet, participants who did this experienced remarkable health improvements.  It can reduce your total cholesterol, reduce LDL cholesterol, reduce cardiovascular risk, and reduce oxidative damage caused by free radicals. 

Why Shakeology?

I love Shakeology because I am a busy parent and it is a quick and convenient way to get complete nutrition.  It supplies me with the energy I need to help keep up with the kids and my hectic lifestyle.  It is also easier to make and tastier than a salad, and it is an excellent way to eat healthy when eating a full meal is not possible.  If you don't like eating fruits and vegetables then this is a great way to get all the benefits of eating a full bowl of fruits and vegetables without having to actually eat them.  If you have high cholesterol then this will help you lower total and LDL as well.
