Shake It Up!

Before you think anything, YES I am a Team BeachBody Coach. And yes, you might think it'll be a good thing for me to "sell" you a product directly from TBB. However, I can completely assure you that this is an honest review of a product that you will legitimately feel better with. I was a skeptic once too!

So, Shakeology is basically your morning/pre workout/post workout/WHATEVER YOU WANT shake to ensure your results for fitness programs and your fitness for lyyffeee yo!
Is it a scam?

ABSOLUTELY FRIGGIN NOT.

Honestly, when I was doing Insanity I kept seeing commercials for Shakeology at the end of each work out, about how its an integral part to your progress and results. But I didn't want to spend the money on it, and I thought it was just any other protein shake. But it's not. Shakeology is your serving of dense nutrition. Heck, it's even called SUPER FOOD. This might turn you off. Are you a natural-path? Vegan? Gluten Free? Not an issue. Shakeology is the most natural thing in my diet, in fact the only real  reason why it doesn't have the organic stamp on it is because that will raise the price for US customers. Its your fruits, veggies, proteins, good carbs, vitamins... ALL IN ONE SHAKE. And, it's a meal replacement. It weighs out to being about 4 dollars a day for the month. And, if you're a uni student like me, even though we say we're broke as jokes, I know we spend this much on Starbucks, or for a bagel and coffee at Timmies (for all my Canadian homies!) or 10x more at the bar on Saturday night! Dude, we've all been there.

Once I started the 21 Day fix, I decided I'd do the work out program how it's intended to be, which is with a daily dose of Shakeology, so I bought the challenge pack. (Challenge pack is basically a workout program of your choice with a month supply of Shakeology for a dirty discount. You end up saving up to 60 dollars sometimes when you buy them both as opposed to separately. And sometimes, the CP's are on promotion! If there's one thing that a broke student loves, it's dirty deals!).

After a week of drinking Shakeology I lost 6 pounds. No joke. Just Shakeology for breakfast. The thing is, if you are on the fence about trying it, and already like working out, sometimes its that "make or break" that will help you lose the last 10 pounds. Sometimes it's the kick start you need. And, if it's not for your body. Do it for your health! There is not a bad thing that you can argue about this product. Since drinking it, my energy has been up tremendously. I have stopped taking afternoon naps so much, and it honestly sounds dumb, but I feel like it has put me in a better mood overall. Once you feed your body the right things, you'd be surprised and delighted with how much they can do and how great you can feel. Not only that, but Shakeology curbs cravings! I have a serious sweet tooth, and it doesnt help that I work part time in a bakery. 

Fun fact: I actually stopped drinking Shakeology for two weeks because my order got all messed up. And that week, I kid you not, I had five cheat meals. I was so disciplined, and the cravings crept up. I also found myself becoming increasingly; I skipped workouts with more ease, and, with deepest regret to my family, for some reason I was a TOTAL BITCH for those two weeks! I was moody and anxious and it wasn't until two weeks of not having it and notice my mood change that I became an AVID Shakeology support it. But really, I could spill out three hundred blogs on how awesome Shakeology is, and until you try it I'll never be able to fully convince you. So I'm asking you to take a leap of faith. Give it a shot, and if you really hate it, or feel like it's not helping you, there is a bottom of the bag money back guarantee, and at least you will have tried it out. 

I know some people can be put off by the price. But are you ready to make a change? Start to view your fitness as an INVESTMENT. Invest in that body. Invest in your health!
