How Shakeology Changed My Life and Body?
The good news for me is that Shakeology not only provides me with the Healthiest Meal of the Day, but more importantly it is yummy and fills me up more than I could have imagined.
I started by doing a 3 day Shakeology cleanse where I had 3 shakes a day, with a small fruit as a snack in between shakes. I kept the shakes simple and blended with only water and ice. I alternated between Chocolate and Greenberry to avoid overkill or boredom. My initial thought was how filling the shakes were. The next thing that I couldn’t help getting excited about was how energetic I felt after drinking each shake. There was no uncomfortable increase in my heart rate with a sudden drop in my sugar or energy levels. It was a consistent positive feeling. I did not do much exercise except stretching and walking while doing the cleanse due to the caloric restrictions. I wanted to ensure I was not overdoing things. It worked! I lost a total of 5 lbs in 3 days of the cleanse and felt lighter!
I had researched, read reviews like this and checked out cleanses and other supplements with some of the ingredients in Shakeology but did not find any that incorporated all 70+ in one easy to blend and drink shake. I found that to get the complete nutrition I would be getting with this, I’d be spending easily 3-4 times as much on various bars, pills or shakes. Shakeology seemed like answer: a simple & complete solution at the best price.
Since I had friends who had done the cleanse and were now advocates of Shakeology, I was prepared and had already ordered my full box prior to starting the cleanse. I wanted to make sure that once I finished, I would continue with one Shake a day. I did just that.
The first couple of days of my one shake a day, I continued to feel good but didn’t see any major difference than when I was on the cleanse. My energy levels continued high and my appetite satisfied after each shake. This was consistent until about day 3. At that time, I did notice my digestion start to change a bit and I heard wierd rumbles in my tummy regularly. At first I was scared and wondered what that was all about. I reached out to my Beachbody Coach and asked. (Note: A Coach is a great free service all our customers also have access too…so reach out when you need it). I spoke to her and she explained my system was just reacting to all the healthy ingredients in the shake and getting used to having so many nutrients and prebiotics daily. She warned that I would continue to hear funny noises and even notice a difference in how often my digestive system worked. This was the absolute truth! Just after 5 days, I started to see major changes in how my stomach and abdomen area felt and looked. I was less bloated & miraculously regular for the first time in my life (and I had tried teas, pills, powders, you name it!). This was a huge plus for me. Not only was I feeling good, eating a super healthy amount of nutrients and getting all my vitamins, I was also “working” better!
I have continued drinking one Shakeology a day for over a year. I now blend it in a variety of ways and include lots of fresh fruit and other concoctions that I find even more tasty. I even make Shakeology pops and have them as an after dinner snack to satisfy my sweet tooth. It’s really a healthy meal replacement that tastes like dessert.

Can Shakeology Take the Cravings for Junk Food Away?
Before Shakeology my eating habits were horrendous. I did everything wrong, from skipping meals to having “empty calories” and even fasting for days to make up for over eating at a certain meal. I admit I was a bit skeptical about Shakeology at first because of how much junk I was used to eating and the fact that I craved those foods at all hours of the day.
I started off with the 3 day cleanse to “reboot” my metabolism and get that fire burning. It was so easy and I felt relief from a lot of my previous digestive issues. I was no longer bloated, what a miracle that was for me! I was doing my 2 Shakeology shakes a day for the first month. After about 2 weeks, I noticed my skin was not as oily and I had less breakouts but most of all, I was regular. There was no need for me to take extra fiber or laxatives, I was finally regular!
Now I have replaced my breakfast with Shakeology. It gives me the satisfaction of a full tummy and no cravings or desires for junk in between meals. I actually crave healthier snacks; the junk is no longer appealing to me. Wow!
