SHAKEOLOGY

So many people are into  fad diets and short term weight loss goals, but I want to introduce something that is more than just a diet, a weight loss shake, or even just a protein shake..
SHAKEOLOGY was introduced to me when I was looking to lose weight after my second baby was born, but I needed more than the weight loss. I needed energy, to feel better inside and out.  When this was brought to my attention, I already had experience using GNC products, Walmart products, and others that you walk into a store and grab a shake.

My coach told me, this is different than the other “protein shakes” out there.  I was skeptical, but I also thought, I am obviously not getting what I want with the other shakes I have tried, so why not give one more a try.. what is the worst that can happen? I am in the same spot I started in, OR I finally find something that works for me.

I decided to give it a try.  2 weeks into using Shakeology on a DAILY basis in place of my breakfast (a meal I tend to skip is why I chose breakfast), I noticed my bloating had significantly decreased and I felt like I was gaining energy! I am also a HUGE chocolate fan and noticed after using chocolate Shakeology, I was no longer craving my ice cream and sweets! Could it be this Shakeology is really making that big of a difference?

After just 4 short months, I was completely transforming myself! I lost 24 lbs and 21 inches total! I was feeling like I was gaining my life back!! I was able to keep up with my little one, as my infant was keeping me up at night! It was like my miracle drink!
I  realized when people say 80% of your weight loss is nutrition, they mean it! Although working out was toning me and increasing my metabolism, my eating habits were also increasing my metabolism, but also with using Shakeology, it was giving me the nutrients I was not use to getting.

For those who do not like veggies:

I hated veggies, would only eat green beans and salad piled with ranch dressing on top. It was like my taste buds were changing into wanting healthy food!
Then I realized, with all the dense nutrition Shakeology has giving me, I’m not lacking the vitamins and minerals that I was before that was causing me to crave more unhealthy food.

It’s so true when you eat or drink anything. For instance, you drink energy drinks with caffeine and chemicals, you crave it.. you eat fast food often, you crave it, but people don’t realize its the same concept with clean eating.. When you eat healthy food, YOU CRAVE MORE!! You realize how good your body feels and its like a drug, but a good one! For the first 2 weeks, it is really tough, because you still have so much in your system, but once its washed out, you do NOT need it! It’s all psychological!

As I continued my journey with Shakeology and beach body, I kept myself accountable, checked into my team beach body account and posted my workouts daily, and ended up with more than good health.. Beach body gave me 500$ just for having a transformation!

Here I am 7 years later into using Shakeology and beach body programs at home to keep my fitness levels up! I am in the best shape of my life.. even after cheering and dancing in high school and college.. I never felt this good.. EVER! Oh, and having my 3rd baby boy!  My pregnancy and postpartum journey has been easier than before being a part of this lifestyle!

I never had abs, and never have felt so confident in myself. The best part about me getting into this regimen with beach body… ITS A LIFESTYLE! I have never had results and have been able to stick something, but beach body was different, the workouts are motivating and easy for me esp with 2 kids that I cannot just jump in the car and go to the gym.

Shakeology is packed with fiber, natural prebiotics, and probiotics, like yacon root and bacillus coagulans, that increase the presence of “good bacteria” in your intestines to improve digestion and keep you “regular.”

Here are a few responses I get from my challengers, along with other Shakeology drinkers:

“We no longer buy snacks or junk food—we just make a shake. I didn’t think at first we would be able to afford it, but now we can’t live without it.”
