Shakeology

What is Shakeology?

The technical answer is Shakeology is a healthy shake packed with vitamins, minerals, probiotics, antioxidants and phyonutrientd.  It is much more than a protein shake.  It can be used a meal replacement as a way to help with weight loss or maintenance or it can be used as a pre or post workout snack.

BUT let me tell you what Shakeology is to ME!  A few years ago I decided to reclaim my fitness and get healthy.  I did a little research online and found a DVD in home fitness program called Turbo Fire.  I knew I had to make a change and looked like a fun workout plus nothing else was working so why not this a try.  I started the program and began to log my food intake with LoseIt.  I was losing weight, my fitness was improving and I was making that change!

I started hearing more and more about Shakeology and my curiosity started to peak.  I had never done any kind of shake and my attitude was I was going to "eat" my food, not drink it!  But like I mentioned I was curious.  I began asking others I knew who were drinking it how they were liking it. Was it helping with their weight loss? Did it keep them satisfied? Did it taste good? I finally asked my friend who was a coach and she gave me some samples to try. The next morning I tried and loved it.  At that time, I was get my workout done right after the kids went off to school but I had already been up for a couple of hours and I was always getting hungry right as I wanted to exercise.  Drinking a shake while I was packing up my kids lunches and getting them ready for school was the answer for fueling me up for my workout.

I was ordered a new fitness program and a 30 day supply of Shakeology was included so I figured "why not try it for 30 days".  If I don't like it or find it's not right for me than at least I had tried it.  After about 2 week I felt more energized, and I started noticing I wasn't craving sweets as much at night and the BEST thing was after sitting at a weight loss plateau I started losing weight again.

Shakeology is my miracle in a shaker cup!  My husband (who drinks it as well) jokes that it is my answer to everything and he might be right.  LOL  It's my craving killer when I want something sweet, it's my energy booster at 2 pm on a weekday when I want to fall asleep at my desk and it's my daily dose of dense nutrition ensuring that I get all that I need to keep my healthy.  It prevents me from getting sick even when the rest of the family is down for the count.  My hair and nails are strong and paired with exercise and a healthy diet my hot flashes and mood swings have lessened.  That's a major feat alone!!  :)

I believe in Shakeology and it's health benefits 110%.  I am not the type of girl to jump on fad diets every time one comes up . . . so when I vouch for something, it's because I REALLY believe in it.  No gimmicks here.  I seriously can't imagine my health without it.  At 50 year old I feel better than I ever did at 40.  I am saying Shakeology is solely the reason but I strongly believe that good nutrition and exercise play a HUGE role in our health and how we feel.

If you are curious I would say give it try.  What's the downside?  You don't like it you can return it and get your money back.  BUT what's the upside? You feel more energized, your cravings are reduced and you are getting healthier from the inside out!
