Shakeology

So I did the Shakeology Cleanse and I wanted to share my results and the way I felt while doing it for 3 days.  First off I do want to say that I did not do the Shakeology Cleanse to lose weight but I did lose six pounds in the 3 days that I did it.  I wanted to get the most nutrient dense calories I could get and Shakeology did that for me.  Weight loss was just a byproduct of what I wanted to do.  Even though I am not trying to lose weight it is good to mix things up every now and again.  I feel I did get rid if some unwanted toxins and undigested foods and all in all this increased my energy levels.

I followed the cleanse to a “T” and I did not use any fruit in my Shakeology drink.  Just water or ice all 9 times. I was hungry at the end of the first day but that went away into the second day.  I did not feel the need to snack in between but I am sure many people will especially if your eating habits have not been so good up to this point. On the third day I was pleasantly surprised that I had so much energy on such few calories.  I wasn’t working out too hard as this was a recovery week for me.

I would definitely recommend the Shakeology Cleanse to all as well as drinking Shakeology every day after the cleanse is over.  You just can not find nutrition like this all in one place.  If you are getting ready to start  the P90X exercise program or any other Beachbody program, the Shakeology Cleanse will get you off and running and started right.

So hear is the low down on the three day Shakeology cleanse. It is not a traditional cleanse since a traditional cleanse contains very few calories and nutrients.  The Shakeology cleanse is a calorie restricted nutrient dense eating plan that lasts for 3 days. The Shakeology Cleanse should not be used for longer than 3 days or in the middle of you workout program.  You should do a Shakeology Cleanse either on your recovery week or prior to starting your new fitness program. The goal here is not to lose weight even though it will probably occur but to get your body running more efficiently.  You will be eating (drinking) frequently and consuming between 800 -1200 calories a day. The goal here it to get the most nutrient dense calories you can, get rid of unwanted toxins and undigested foods and bring your hydration levels into homeostasis.  Even though your calories will be low your your nutrients will be high.

What you will need for the Shakeology Cleanse:

Water (drink plenty of it)

I have see a lot of questions on how to buy Shakeology cheap and the one thing I want to say is there is no “cheap”.  You can get Shakeology for a little less expensive but for this kind of quality you are not going to find “cheap”.  Have you ever heard the old saying “you get what you pay for?”. Of course you have. Everyone has heard that saying before and the same thing applies here when trying to buy Shakeology cheap.  I am not going to go over why Shakeology is such a bargain price at $119.95 for 30 servings again.  You can check out my post “Buy Shakeology- Great Price and Great for you” and there you will see what it would cost you to try and piece together Shakeology at your local health food store.  You can also check out a video on that page.

What I want to show you today is how to get Shakeology at the best possible price or for you bargain hunters, how to buy Shakeology cheap.

So lets analyze this.

Retail Cost Per Month:

$119.95 Base Price

$7.20   Tax (6%)

$8.00 Shipping

—————————————-

$135.15 Total

$127.15 on Home Direct every month.  (Shipping is free with Home Direct)

Coaches Cost Per Month:

$89.96 Base Price

$5.40 Tax (6%)

$7.20 Shipping

————————————-

$102.56 Total

$95.36 on Home Direct every month.  (Shipping is free with Home Direct)

So…. to try Shakeology for a month 1 time would cost you  $135.15

At the coach price on Home Direct you would pay                  $95.36

Savings of:                                                                          $39.79 per month

That is $3.20 a serving. You can’t even get a happy meal for that price.

Becoming a coach will cost $14.95 per month for your website so you actually save $24.84 every month. This works out to $298.08 a year.  Now that is a real savings.  Not to mention the opportunity you now have.  Lets say you are mixing up some Shakeology at work and one of your co-workers comes up to you and says “Hey Bob, whatcha drinkin?”  You reply “It’s Shakeology, my healthiest meal of the day”. Co-worker says “Where can I get some?”  You say “Just head on over to my Shakeology site and place your order”.  You just helped someone on their way to a healthier lifestyle and made a few bucks in the process.  Does it get any better than that?  Plus you are getting Shakeology at the best possible price.

So you want to try Shakeology but you think it might be a bit expensive?  It’s funny since those who drink it think the price is too low.  Let’s think about this for a second.  What do you spend $4 bucks on a day.  Your lunch, an extra large latte, a martini(even during happy hour), a Big Mac meal, a pack of cigarettes, a car wash, a 12inch sub from Subway, a “hot and ready” from Little Caesars, a small bucket of golf balls, some new mascara, a number 6 at Wendy’s and the list could go on an on and on and on.  Now you have the option to put something into your body that is packed with nutrition and all you have to do is just replace one of those other things with Shakeology. Heck, you might even save money in the process.

If you tried to put all 70 of Shakeology’s ingredients together yourself you would spend a small fortune every month.  I have to say thanks to fellow Beachbody coach Blake Warrington who actually did a little experiment and tried to do just that.  He wanted to see how much it would cost if he went to the health food store and tried to put together Shakeology ingredient by ingredient. Below is what he discovered.

Do you really want to spend $483 bucks on this stuff?  Yeah, I know, me either. That’s why Shakeology is the best solution and will be your healthiest meal of the day.

If you still need to see even more testimonials and get more information you can go to Shakeology information.

So you keep hearing all of these good thing about Shakeology and you are wondering where to get it. Well you are in luck because you can get it right from this site or just go to buy Shakeology and watch a video that will tell you what Shakeology is all about. Shakeology is only offered through Beachbody coaches and can not be found in stores or anywhere else and it just so happens that I loved P90X so much that I decided to become a Beachbody coach.

Shakeolgy comes in 2 different flavors. Chocolate and Greenberry.  I must say that I like them both but I am partial to the greenberry flavor.  Not sure why, it is just really different tasting.  If you are a chocolate person then just go with the chocolate as it is really good as well.  I mix mine with rice milk and have tried it with water but I definitely prefer it with the rice milk.

Best part is if you purchase Shakeology on home direct you will get free shipping and the Shakeology workout videos for free.  On your second shipment you will get a free Shakeology shaker cup to mix your drink in.

There are over 70 ingredients in Shakeology and it also has either 15 or 17 grams of protein per serving.  To try and piece this drink together would cost you a fortune.  If you use this shake instead if eating lunch you will definitely cut your calories, save money and lose weight.  If you stick with the Shakeology workouts this will speed up your weight loss and get you in better shape.

I don’t want to bore you with typing out all of the ingredients and trying to sell you on it so if you want to take a look at the ingredients just go to Shakeology and watch the video.  Click on buy Shakeology and you will be taken to a page where you will be able to see the list of ingredients.
