PART THREE: Debunking the Negative Reviews of Shakeology: I DIDN'T LOSE ANY WEIGHT

Negative Shakeology Review: I DIDN'T LOSE ANY WEIGHT...

This is not something I hear too often, but every once in awhile, someone will utter these words. My first question will always be...drum roll please...what ELSE did you eat?!?!

These are the top 3 things revealed during my fishing expedition for "real and honest" answers...

#1...You didn't drink it every day...
#2...You have only been drinking it for a couple of days
#3...You replaced one meal, but then ate like crap for the other 2 meals

What you cannot do is drink your Shakeology for breakfast, then eat Burger King for lunch and Dominos Pizza for dinner. Just like when you workout, and then go to McDonalds and slam down a Quarter Pounder w/double cheese and super-sized fries. Kind of defeats the purpose, right?!?! Right.

PART ONE: Debunking the Negative Reviews of Shakeology: TASTES HORRIBLE

Negative Shakeology Review: SHAKEOLOGY TASTES HORRIBLE!

Ok...so total honesty here...I didn't care that much for Shakeology in the beginning either. I ordered Vanilla and I'll just say...not all flavors are for everyone. And I don't like it shaken with water and ice. I'm a blender girl... I blend with ice, water and almond milk...and most times with either frozen strawberries or half of a frozen banana. YUM! I may not have been a fan the first few days, but I've learned what flavors I like and how to make them...and now I can't imagine going a day without one! Actually, some days I have two!

There are 6 flavors to choose from:
*CHOCOLATE
*STRAWBERRY
*VANILLA
*GREENBERRY
*VEGAN CHOCOLATE
*TROPICAL STRAWBERRY (vegan)

Chances are there will be AT LEAST one flavor you will like. Not to mention that there are a bazillion recipes for Shakeology floating around! You can even purchase a sampler pack if you'd like to try them all before diving into a whole bag at first! (A direct link to order a 6-pack Sampler pack will be at the bottom of this post)

Here's the thing...Shakeology is all natural, and has no preservatives or artificial flavors. It is a "nutrient" packed, "super-food" filled health shake. IT IS NOT A MCDONALD'S MILKSHAKE OR A DAIRY QUEEN BLIZZARD! 

Trust In Your Journey and Give It Time

Be very afraid of anything that claims it will help you lose weight without exercise and good nutrition. Chances are you will lose a few pounds in the beginning, but you’ll gain back even more. The truth is we all want quick and easy results, but the journey to lose weight and get healthy for the long term is usually not quick and easy. Many of us want to swallow a pill, have a surgeon lop off fat or cut out parts of our insides because we don’t want to put in the effort and allow the process of “healthy weight loss” to work.  NOTHING replaces exercise and good nutrition.  It’s finding that “thing” that will make the journey to get healthy by working out and eating well bearable so it eventually becomes a lifestyle for you. I’m still on my journey, but it gets easier every day, especially when I see the results pay off.

A HUGE key for me has been finding motivation and inspiration from others. Find people who will motivate, inspire and support you. I have found that by reaching out to others in my same boat,
discussing not only our weak moments, but our triumphs as well, has been the missing key all along!
