Review: 21 Day Fix, Part III -- Shakeology

I had this as one post but there's three separate parts of the 21 Day Fix I'd like to talk about. This is Part III.

I would like to say one thing about Shakeology. A lot of people will look at the price of the 21 Day Fix and think, "Dang, if I don't get the Shakeology with it I'll save, like, $100!"

Don't be drawn into this thought process! My Shakeology is my workout buddy, my guilty pleasure, and my midnight snack friend. At first we didn't get along at all (I couldn't get past the intense roasted cacao flavor). But after I saw what it was doing for me in my moods and energy, we will never be parted. It's a meal replacement so I can eat it after a workout and be full for another three, four, sometimes five hours. I can eat it in the middle of the night when I'm not working, just vegging in front of the TV because nothing and no one is awake except my brain. And . . . 

I get to eat chocolate every single day. Who in the world gets to say that about their diet programs? Yes, it's in the form of a shake but I could use the powder to make these brownies or these crepes. Seriously. It's an amazing product and you won't be sorry you bought it.

The following video was produced by BeachBody (duh) and it tells, generally, what's in Shakeology. If you want to know exactly what's in it, check out the back of the bags at this website (scroll to the hyperlinks near the end to choose your flavor).

This next video is what really got me. Check out all the things you'd have to eat (and how much they cost!) in order to equal the amazingness of your Shakeology.

It's not just a protein shake. It has protein in it and is consumed like a shake (sometimes) but that's where the similarities end. Many people continue to use their existing protein shakes as a protein supplement while adding Shakeology daily. Protein shakes are not for weight loss. They may aid in weight loss but that is not their purpose. Protein shakes are for adding more protein if you don't want to cook and eat meat (or other good sources of protein like spinach or broccoli) and help build muscle. Too much protein does not do a body good. As you'll hear in the videos, Shakeology is a daily does of dense nutrition. It's a meal replacement that boost energy, lowers cholesterol, aids in digestion, and boost the immune system. It'll improve, you know, your health. 

Remember: in your weight-loss battle your nutrition is going to account for approximately 80% of your success. Abs are made in the kitchen, people!

If you are sorry you bought it and don't see how it's affecting your mood, energy, skin, hair and/or nails, BeachBody has a 30 day money back guarantee. They'll even take your entirely empty bag back. That's how sure they are that you'll love your Shakeology.
