Today Shakeology has just been featured on the Bloomberg Business Week! You should check out the article! But, here is just a small bit.
“Dr. Susanne Talcott, assistant professor of toxicology and a director of research at Texas A&M’s Nutrition and Food Science Dept., specializes in testing superfoods. She conducts animal trials, human clinical trials, and cell culture tests on a whole range of foods. For this article, she agreed to review the ingredients and amounts on the fact sheet of a serving of Shakeology. Aside from almost three eggs’ worth of protein, vitamins, and minerals, there seemed to be a tad of almost every superfood known to the herbal-loving world, she says.”
Lately I feel like I have let my diet slip, and when my diet slips so much other stuff in my life tends to slip. So, I figured it is a perfect time to start a 21 Day Clean Eating Challenge! I will be using this week to shop and prepare, and start working on my clean eating, but I am officially starting the challenge on November 1. I am making the last day of my challenge to be November 23, the day before Thanksgiving. Then I can go into the holiday and enjoy it, knowing the rest of the month went perfect!
You are more then welcome to join me. You can start whenever you want, just jump in! If you like, I am going to start a private accountability group on Facebook! We can share our favorite recipes and tips to help us get through this 21 days! I know that real results will happen!
Here is how it works! Clean Eating Part:
If you adhere to these guidelines, you will see big changes. DO NOT ALLOW YOURSELF little slips here and there. But if you fall, pick yourself up again. It’s consistency and not perfection that gets you to your ideal body!
But, I mainly have been battling a hard decision. As many of you know, I have been training for months for the Marine Corp. Marathon. I took my training all the way up to the 16 mile run a few weeks ago.
But, as my miles have been increasing, I have been seeing my old running issue, my broken butt – aka the piriformis syndrome returning. I have been stretching, training and doing my best to prevent this. I have been seeing a chiropractor… But, et, each week the pain gets worst and last longer.
These are real people that I know and talk to everyday! These are real results of people that have completed the 90 Day FIT Challenge! I LOVE the smiles on their “after” photos!
Will this be you? Are you ready?

Once you contact me, I will send you more information on the challenge!
I’m reposting, with permission an article my friend wrote about can you afford shakeology?
You really can. There is really no excuse. I felt disturbed that I had left out Shakeology from my original suggested meal plan, especially given the fact that many of the foods we eat today (particularly our chicken/fish/meat) are of such poor quality. It makes sense that Shakeology would make up for some of the nutrient deficient foods we consume as a society. But, the question remains: Can you afford it?
If I left it out of my meal plan, then somewhere in my mind I was saying, “No, there is little room for it in a tight budget.” However, somehow that just didn’t jive with me. Let’s do the math together and you decide.
The cost of Shakeology on autoship> (you get free shipping) is $119.99. Plus tax, say around $126, for one month’s supply (1 serving a day for 30 days). Each shake comes out to about $4.20. The coach price for Shakeology on autoship is $89.99 or around $96 total. Each serving comes out to $3.20.
Too much you say? Not if you are using Shakeology as a meal replacement, which, by the way, will help you lose weight. Remember: Subjects in a 90-Day study lost an average of 10 lbs when they replaced just one meal per day with Shakeology.
The cost of an average lunch at a restaurant or take-out: $6 to $9. Plus, even Subway sandwiches cost about $6 for a meal, and Subway has reputably low-cal average 460 to 560 calories. Shakeology has 140 calories, less than 1 gram of fat per serving, annnnnnd it is truly nutrient rich.
The cost of an average take out or restaurant dinner:$10 & up to be sure.
The cost of a home-cooked lunch or dinner: 6-8 ounces of chicken = $2.00 (and we are talking low-grade chicken), veggies= $1 (frozen veggies are really okay! hurray!) and 1 sweet potato = from $0.5 to $1.00. Total= about $3.4.
Conclusion: You are spending about $3-4 on a home-cooked meal, the same amount that you would spend on Shakeology.
So what is the big fuss about then? I think our resistance has to do more with our thinking than our actual ability to afford Shakeology, regardless of budget. Somehow, I’m guessing, many people see Shakeology as a luxury item. But is it really? I invite you to watch the following video. What Doctors are Saying.
We think nothing of spending $4 on mass-produced food that doesn’t truly nourish us, yet we protest that $4 for Shakeology is too expensive. There’s something awry with our thinking, don’t you think?
