Discover the Secrets to Shakeology : The Healthiest Meal of the Day

Shakeology, where to begin, it is said to be the " Healthiest Meal of the Day " and by looking at the ingredients composed in a single 8 fluid ounce glass I cant see why it wouldn't be called this. I personally take Shakeology on a regular basis and I feel more energized, am more regular,lost stored body fat, skin is more healthy, and I feel AWESOME.

Shakeology is "Nutrition Simplified." It is said to Get You all the Nutrients it needs in a single serving But is it really true?

Shakeology is a powder formula mixed in with a variety of liquids like orange juice, water, milk, etc. (whatever fits your preference) If you think about it getting all the Vitamins and Minerals in Shakeology would take you a whole day just to eat all the foods.

Take One Shake a day to Help you:

• Lose Weight
• Build Energy
• Get Healthy

To Match the Nutrition of one serving of shakeology you would need to consume

• A bowl of exotic fruit, including Gochi Berry and the Acai Berry ( $4.40)
• 4 cups of raw broccoli ( $3.94)
• 7 Whole Carrots ( $1.99 )
• 10 Cups of Raw Cauliflower ( $4.30 )
• 3 Cups of Romaine Lettuce ( $1.99 )
• 4 Cups of Uncooked Mushrooms ( $8.97 )
• 3 Raw Onions ( $ 2.91 )
• 1 Cup of Peas ( $1.09 )
• 4 Cups of Red Radishes ( $ 5.16 )
• 4 Cups of Non Fat Yogurt ( $3.49 )
• 1 Shot of Wheat Grass ( $1.95 )
• TOTAL OF $ 41.19

Now Come On, you are going to tell me that you would spend $41.19 EACH DAY to get the Nutritional Value that you could get in just one shake. If you are please let me know because that is just unintelligent haha.

Shakeology can be taken as a Meal Replacement Shake as a Low calorie formula or just as a snack so you can make sure you will not go a day without your nutritional needs. I personally think that you should at least give it a shot and see what happens.

I take Shakeology around 3 p.m. every day right before i workout and it gives me some energy but not a whole lot because it doesn't have the amount of protein that a protein shake may have, Shakeology only has 15g of protein per serving. I have taken Shakeology since December 13, 2009 and so far i have felt full for a much extended period of time after a meal. It has given me Long Term Energy as well as me being more " regular ".

So If you are the type of person that is too lazy to go to the gym and doesn't eat right or maybe even the person that is looking for that extra edge, then you should consider Shakeology because it will help shed stored fat and get you more healthy. Every 2 out of 3 Americans are Overweight So please dont be in that category. GET HEALTHY!

Shakeology is Nutrition Simplified. Take One Shake a Day and Feel as Healthy as you have ever felt in your life. I take it myself and it has changed my life and helped me drop those last few hard pounds to get off. Why not give it a go and just see what happens. Even Children can drink this, It comes in Chocolate and GreenBerry Flavors. This one of Beachbody's Top Supplements. Contact me to find out more about it

Rev Abs Day 11 Update

So todays workout was Power Intervals but instead since i was feeling good i decided to try Rev it Up Cardio. This is a phase 2 Workout that really has some cool Capoeira moves incorporated in it. Capoeira is a type of dance used by people in brazil long ago but it really wasnt a dance. These people would slow the movements down and practice , making it look as if it was a dance. What it was , was a self defense move and when speeded up would look sort of like karate VERY COOL and a very interesting backround. anyway today was AWESOME i cant wait until the rest of the phase two workouts because they seem so fun. Today i burned about 750 calories and i had a ball doing it. My Shakeology Journey is going SO WELL. I have only been on it for 4 days now, i started on Sunday, December 13,2009 and Today is Thursday the 17th. I actually had 5 egg whites with a diced up turkey burger inside and i had it around 6 15 ...its 9 30 now and i am STILL FULL...usually it takes me 1 hour before i start getting hungry again. THIS IS AWESOME i cant wait to see what the next weeks are going to bring me

SHAKEOLOGY - Q&A

Shakeology, Q & A. By Steve Edwards.
Should I continue to take Activit, Peak Health, or other multi-vitamins along with Shakeology?

While Shakeology contains a lot of vitamins and minerals it’s still recommended that you take a multi-vitamin, especially if you’re working out. In fact, Shakeology will help increase the bioavailability of your vitamin if taken together. If you skip your vitamin your nutrient bases will still be covered but an active person—especially doing a workout like P90X—will always be struggling to meet the nutrients requirements placed on the body. Combining Peak Health Formula and Shakeology can keep you charging through even the most intense exercise program.

More detail to this question can be found in this article: Shakeology and Activit or P90X Peak Health Formula

I already have some Meal Replacement. Should I throw it out and switch to Shakeology?

You shouldn’t throw it out but Shakeology is a far more thorough formulation. Use your old Meal Replacement at times when you’re active or as a “poor man’s Recovery Formula”. The higher sugar and lower fiber content of Meal Replacement make it better around the time you are exercising.

Can I take this and Results and Recovery Formula?

Yes but not together! Recovery Formula should only be taken during or after exercise when you’ve been exhausting your body’s blood sugar. At any other time Shakeology would be your preferred option.

Should I still take an omega supplement?

Yes as there is no EPA/DHA (the two omega fatty acids in fish oil) in Shakeology.

How about Cal/Mag?

One serving of Shakeology has 500 milligrams of calcium, meaning that you can cut your dosage of Cal/Mag in half. It’s recommended that you take your Cal/Mag with Shakeology as it will help your body absorb its nutrients.

There is no food coloring. How is one green and the other brown?

The ingredients (herbal powders, grass powders, vegetable powders, and some fruit and berry powders) make color green. The base of chocolate blend is also green, but the chocolate and cocoa powders turn the color “chocolate”.

Why does the chocolate have more protein?

The serving size for chocolate is 8 grams higher than for greenberry. The extra ingredients added for the chocolate blend (mostly chocolate powder and cocoa powder) add an additional 2 grams of protein for the serving size.

Does this mean I don’t have to eat any more veggies?

Not that we recommend it but, yes, you could get away with skipping your veggies if your drink Shakeology daily. Keep in mind that you still need to fill out the rest of your caloric needs and veggies are the best source of both nutrients and fiber you can eat. The healthiest diets will still contain vegetables.

What kind of protein is it made with?

The primary source of protein is from whey, which comes from milk. Whey is one of the most bioavailable protein sources. Translation: it speeds to its work of repairing your muscles and its amino acids are readily used by your body.

Is it a good source of fiber?

At 3 grams per 140 calories Shakeology is a balanced source of fiber. More importantly, its fiber sources are varied, coming from apple pectin, flax, chia meal, and yacon. The latter also happens to be one of the best prebiotic sources known to man.

Can I drink this right before a workout?

Shakeology would be much better than a meal prior to working out. If it’s immediately before, however, you’d be better served by something with more sugar and less fiber for rapid absorption, such as Recovery Formula or Meal Replacement.

Can I drink this right after a workout?

Again, it’s better than many other options available but less perfect than something designed primarily for this purpose, such as Recovery Formula.

Does it contain caffeine?

Shakeology contains no caffeine. It does contain green tea extract but the caffeine has been removed.

Is it vegetarian?

The only non-vegetarian ingredient is whey protein, which comes from milk.

I am a diabetic. How will it affect me?

We aren’t your doctor so we can’t give you an official word on this but we’re working on trying to get Shakeology approved by the American Diabetes Association.

Can I give it to my kids?

Once again, we’re in a legal realm, which we’re working on. But considering that kids are “approved” to eat Ding Dongs and Cocoa Puffs and whatever other godforsaken junk we’re pretty certain that it will clear the regulatory radar.

What about pregnant and nursing mothers?

And, again, we may run into legal stumbles but c’mon, this stuff is nothing but healthy natural foods.

Can I mix this in with food I’m cooking/baking?

While possible, cooking would upset the nutrient balance of Shakeology’s ingredients and it’s highly recommended that you drink it at room temperature or cooler.

Will it mix OK in my shaker cup?

Shakeology mixes at least as well as most meal replacement shakes and can be hand mixed easily. For a drive-in style creamy shake, however, a blender is preferred.
