Shakeology

My Shakeology testimonial starts today. I became a Beachbody coach not too long ago, maybe less than a month, and I've been meaning to try it. I've heard nothing but great things and the awesome outcomes of how much it benefits your health in various ways. So, today will be day one. I will continue to incorporate it into my challenge group which starts June 23, 2014 (next Monday) and I am super anxious as well as excited to see the results that I get. I'm ready to feel healthier than I have every been. Of course, along with this meal replacement, I plan on re-vamping my meal planning, researching new recipes, getting creative with it, and of course implementing my P90X that I have already started (week 2 baby).

Also, I'm 36 weeks pregnant so it'll be interesting to see my pre and post results with this pregnancy. So that's another plus factor that will be a challenge yet an amazing transformation. I'm really looking forward to it.

So what is Shakeology you wonder?
An incredibly healhty meal supplement, Shakeology is packed full of nutrients, vitamins, proteins, and minerals in one amazing shake. It contains more than 70 super nutritous ingredients:

• Proteins, vitamins, and minerals: to help reduce hunger and food cravings

Plus it can help build and repair muscles, promote ideal blood sugar levels, support brain function to help promote alert thinking and positive mood, promote healthy skin hair and nails (Shakeology.com).

It's super convenient to incorporate into your everyday routine. Once a day is all it takes, what's easier than that? You will be able to feel more energized, reduce your junk food cravings, thus eliminating those empty calorie intake, and help you lose weight.

Price factor: Shakeology vs. Fast Food
It's interesting when people say how expensive Shakeology is. However, when you make the comparison to eating out and grabbing that quick bite, does it really seem that expensive? Our society lives on such a fast track lifestyle that we tend to forget to think about our life choices. So if you're contemplating and wondering why Shakeology is expensive, it's really not once you break it down. Per month, it costs $4.00 a serving which equates to a fast lunch, but most likely less. Besides the pricing, think about the health benefits of what you're consuming. Shakeology is a quick simple fix that provides you with vital nutrients that your body needs in order to stay on track. It can vary from 130-160 calories per serving, 1-3 grams of fat, 14-19 grams of carbohydrates, 6-16grams of sugar, and 15-17 grams of protein. What about that Big Mac, what does that contain and give you? Let's compare. A Big Mac by itself contains 540 calories, 164 grams of carbohydrates, 260 grams of fat, 104 grams proteins,29 grams of total fat (which is 45% daily value for total fats and 50% of daily value for saturated fats). In one single serving, that's almost five times the caloric intake in one Shakeology supplement.

Next, let's look at the ingredients of a Big Mac and the side effects it will give you. It contains nitrates and nitrites, MSG, and artificial sweetners that are all "head-bangers" (Mann, 2014). Nitrates and nitrites are preservatives that increase blood flow, leading to lead pressure and pain. MSG is added to enhance flavor. However, these additives causes you to have nasty hangovers. Eek! Crazy right? Well the price and benefits of Shakeology definitely outweigh the consumption of fast food.
