I
want you to know, that just 2 Years ago I was not only a Skeptic of
whether Shakeology was worth it or not. I was convinced it wasn't.
Why in the world would any one pay $3.80/Shake for a simple meal
replacement shake. I already had a company that I was loyal to and
purchased their shakes and thought they were fine. They Tasted good,
and kept me full for about 1.5-2 hours. and they had a few vitamins
in them. So that was good enough for me and my health.
Well
so I thought, I was very closed minded to learning more about a Shake
that cost so much, I just couldn't see how or why I would need it in
my life. So for 8 months I watched as a few of my friends posted
about it. They shared that it was yummy, that it had helped them with
balancing their blood pressure, their cholesterol, their blood
sugars. It kept them full and curbed their Cravings??? WOW FOR
REAL?!?!?! How could any one claim that just one simple shake could
assist with all of those things and more, That's Insanity!!!
But
after months of watching these two friends seem to be very passionate
about what Shakeology had been doing for their (and their customers')
health I decided to give it a Go. Why Not?!? If It didn't do anything
for me, well then, I guess the worst that could happen was I would be
out $100. But then I would know personally that if it was all
that it was Cracked up to be or if they were just saying this to sell
the STUFF!
November
28th I purchased a Beachbody Challenge Pack (a fitness program and
30/days Shakeology) and set up an account as a Coach to take
advantage of the 25% off that Coaches Got - I am all about
saving Money. I knew from what I had read about it that it would take
my body between 60-90 days of use before I would see the positive
side effects I was hoping for, so I wanted to save my self $$$ of my
next 2 months purchases of Shakeology.
After
just the first month I did have a couple of positive side effects, I
did feel a bit more energy and my Sugar cravings were going down a
lot. So that was Awesome. But by week 6 I started noticing, how full
I felt after drinking my Shakeology, I could go 3-4 hours with out
feeling hungry again. I loved that I could still get in the
Great Nutrition that Shakeology offered, in a Creamy Chocolate shake,
but allowed me to get done all the things a busy mom has to do. I
also noticed that my joints (knees and wrists) were feeling much
better, I am not sure if that was from the Yoga/Pilates exercises I
was doing, from Shakeology, or maybe a mix of both, but I was glad it
was much less painful.
Then
around week 8 I no longer had daily sugar cravings, or Chips, or
Soda, or basically any junk food at all, It was AWESOME! I could sit
right beside my hubby who had a bowl full of Chocolate Ice cream and
not even have the desire to eat it. Now I am not saying I just go
around depriving myself of treats all the time. But when I first
started I wanted to Really stick to my Meal plan and so I did
restrain at that time. But the cool thing was that I didn't feel
deprived, I wasn't frustrated that I had to say no. It didn't even
seem like an issue. and That for me Was A HUGE Deal. I also noticed
how I no longer had bloated tummy issues 3-4 times a week like I had
battled for years. My random strikes of Heartburn were gone and I
have only had it 2 times since then.
Yep
This Shakeology Stuff Really was doing wonders for my health, and I
loved it.
So
what it this Crazy secret ingredient that offers all these
benefits??? There isn't one, all the ingredients are listed right on
the website or back of the bag and none of them are some crazy rare
thing that NO one else can get their hands on. NOPE, they are just
Whole Foods that are grown and harvested in their natural habitat and
then Flash dried and ground up into a DeLish shake for us to drink
every day.
Well
so Why the heck do they do so much good for our health if I could get
all those same ingredients on my own and mix my own shakes each day,
or just eat the plants in their natural form???
For
starters Shakeology has over 70 Super Foods that are Richly Dense in
vitamins, minerals, pre- and probiotics, natural enzymes,
phytonutrients, and other very beneficial things. I honestly don't
even think I have a pantry big enough to fit 30 days worth of 70+
Super foods to mix up my shake each morning, Plus wow talk about
taking a LONG time to make a shake, having to add each ingredient
separately.
So
all that Leads me to another Plus that I forgot to mention before,
Convenience! Yes, we in our time period are always looking for faster
ways to accomplish more in our day. We don't have time to spend 3-4
hours a day prepping in our kitchens to make sure we get all our
Meals Nutritionally balanced, so unless we want to take handfuls of
vitamins/ minerals and other pills then we most likely will still be
lacking the proper nutrition our bodies need to Health themselves, to
function at top functionality, to be able to fight off germs and
pains.
The
Wonderful thing about Shakeology that I have learned is this:
"Shakeology
is Convenient and yet whole natural foods that fuel our bodies with
the building blocks that we need each day to accomplish all that is
required of us in this day and age. It provides our bodies the
opportunity to Heal from years of lacking the proper building blocks,
and rids us of many of the awful things like, Blood sugar issues,
High Cholesterol, Joint Pain, Brain Fog, Headaches, Weight loss,
Blood Pressure issues, Crohns, and many other Health issues that many
people have lived with for years and think they will have to live
with for the rest of their lives. "
I
URGE you, to be a Skeptic so much so that you Take the opportunity to
give Shakeology a try for 90 Days just to Prove that it wont work for
you. Just like I did, Because I bet you that you too will be able to
benefit from what it has to offer your Health.
