I get this question…. A LOT! And I wanted to go over some of the benefits and concerns you may have about it.
First, what is it? It’s a meal replacement shake that includes, what I can only call, miracle ingredients. It has all your necessary vitamins and minerals that your body needs. It’s low on the Glycemic Index, only 140 calories, tastes fantastic, and helps you stay full. It also flushes toxins out of your body so that you’re more able to absorb the vital nutrients you need.
So personally, the first thing I noticed about Shakeology was that my energy went through the roof. I was someone who would crash out in the afternoon because I had so little energy. I needed my afternoon nap- seriously! And that also means I’m not reaching for a second (or third) cup of coffee in the afternoon either! Saving money by not getting that Starbucks is a HUGE perk!
As if that wasn’t a big enough draw, it also helped me break a several year long weight-loss plateau. I had been stuck at the same weight, no matter how much I exercised, for years and years. I started drinking one shake every day (at least) and within a few months I had dropped 4 pounds. What?! Yes, seriously! I was exercising the same amount, but I didn’t have those chocolate cravings, I was using this to keep me full for longer, and I lost that extra junk hanging around in my intestines (yes I know that’s super gross sounding).
And now some even more serious results I’ve seen. I had three things I was constantly dealing with: high blood pressure; high cholesterol; and fluctuating blood sugar. These are things that run in my family and I did not miss getting those genes! My good cholesterol (HDL) was always high because I work out often and eat well, but the bad cholesterol (LDL) was also always high- heredity! After drinking Shakeology for about a year, I just had my annual physical. My blood pressure was fantastic, 112/80, and my cholesterol was amazing, HDL of 101 and LDL of 70. As far as my blood sugar was concerned, I just don’t even think about it anymore because it isn’t even an issue. I don’t crash due to low blood sugar and don’t spike because I have Shakeology to help regulate. The fact that my health is in check is absolutely priceless to me!
Is $3 too much for a shake that’s truly saving my life? That’s helping to lose weight? That’s helping me to feel better? That’s giving me more energy? That’s regulating my blood sugar? That lowered my cholesterol into an acceptable range? That lowered my blood pressure? That made it so I don’t have to spend money on prescriptions to regulate these things for me? ABSOLUTELY NOT! $3 is a STEAL for preventing problems later in life that could cost me SO much more.
