Shakeology has proven itself to be the best investment I have made in my health. It costs me 3.00 a day to drink this stuff (actually a few cents more than that because I throw in a banana and a spoon of peanut butter... oh, yeah.....). My cravings have been knocked wayyyyyyy back, and I am not eating nearly so much now, and my energy has soared. Honestly, this is the secret to my having lost 26 pounds since May of this year. Yes I have exercised, this is true, and that IS an integral part of my weight loss, but it ALL started with Shakeology. I know I sound a bit like an evangelist for BeachBody and Shakeology (we're not a cult - I swear!!!!!! grin), but the plain and simple truth is I felt like crud and had no desire to exercise before the Shakeology revolution in my life. Within a week of drinking Shakeology every day for breakfast, my body was FINALLY getting the nutrition it needed, so it quit begging me for more food. I used to drink two pots of coffee a day. Why did I want that much coffee? Because I was dragging and needed the constant artificial pick-me-up that coffee provided. Within two weeks of starting Shakeology, I realized I had gone three days without thinking about coffee. Today, I will have about two cups of coffee a WEEK... because I really enjoy a good cup of coffee.
