Shakeology Review (Not Mine)
I have been hearing about this Shakeology thing for a while now. Basically a meal replacement low calorie shake that is specially mixed with all the right vitamins/nutrients that your body needs.
When I first heard about it I thought of it as being one of those fad type diet things. Because there are so many fads out there in the fitness world its second nature to me to approach everything with that mindset. However, i recently came across this independent review that had a very positive view of it. It was nice to read.
The only thing turning me away from it is the price. For something that I can do for free with a proper nutrition plan I can’t justify the cost of it. But for those of you that are curious, here is the review.
The phenomenal success of Shakeology, a unique blend of proteins, vitamins and nutrient-rich whole foods, has many asking if the manufacturers are making fraudulent claims, or if this is yet another weight loss scam. Does Shakeology live up to its reputation as "The Healthiest Meal of the Day?" Shakeology is a nutritional shake formulated to help lose weight, increase energy, lower cholesterol, promote healthy digestion and reduce hunger cravings. It can be used either as a health supplement or meal replacement drink.
The patented blend of whole-food sources in Shakeology helps the body gradually eliminate toxins more effectively while enhancing the absorption of key nutrients. With continued use the digestive enzymes and prebiotics in Shakeology will help shed fat and remove built up toxins in the body.
What’s in Shakeology?
1) Whey protein and essential amino acids. Including whey protein isolate, the most absorbable source to help build lean muscle. Also levels evens blood sugar levels.
2) 23 essential vitamins and minerals
3) Prebiotics and Digestive Enzymes. Prebiotics support the growth of "good" bacteria in the digestive tract which helps the body absorb more nutrients from food. Digestive Enzymes assist with the breakdown of foods.
4) Antioxidents and Phytonutrients. Antioxidents protect the body’s cells from free radical damage which can accelerate aging. Phytonutrients can help prevent a wide array of degenerative conditions. Studies show that consuming both together works better than individually.
Shakeology is gluten and caffeine free with no refined sugars or artificial sweeteners.
A recent independent 90-day study of participants who exercised properly and replaced one meal each day with Shakeology demonstrated the following:
- Reduced oxidative stress, a risk factor for degenerative diseases, by as much as 90%.
- Lowered total cholesterol levels by an average of 30% and "bad" cholesterol levels by an average of 38%.
- Reduced cardiovascular risk factors by an average of 24%.The bottom line: Shakeology is a legitimate meal replacement formula loaded with high-quality, nutrient rich "superfoods" that when combined with regular exercise will help improve health and wellness. Shakeology serves as an ideal nutritional supplement for people engaged in physically demanding fitness programs.
