Is Shakeology a scam?

Lately, I’ve feeling a little frustrated with my weight.  I exercise, try to eat healthy food and can’t seem to lose any weight.  My problem is that diets make me hungry and I seem to crave sugary food.  I started looking for a product that would help me stop craving sugar.  Unfortunately, many products on the market contain caffeine or other substances that make your heart race.  Plus, I don’t like swallowing diet pills.

One of my friends is a Beachbody coach and is always talking about the benefits of Shakeology, a nutritional shake made by Beachbody.  I started to do a little research on this product because I was afraid that Shakeology is just another diet scam.  The product claims to have the following benefits:

  • Help with weight loss
  • Reduce cravings
  • Stay regular
  • Feel energized
  • Experience vitality

I liked the reduce cravings benefit, but can it really help me with weight loss?  The product comes in powder form that can be mixed with water or milk.  It comes in three different flavors: chocolate, greenberry and the new tropical strawberry.

The shake contains whole-food ingredients that deliver the essential amino acids, vitamins, and minerals your body needs to curb cravings, allowing your body to shed stored fat.  It also contains more than 20 different antioxidants and phytonutrients to help reduce free radical damage that can lead to heart disease, heart attacks, high blood pressure, and stroke.  Wow! Shakeology does sound like a scam.  It’s hard to believe the product has all these benefits rolled into one shake.

So the Mom Shopper decided to investigate.  I ordered a bag for $119.95.  This is not a cheap product!  I really hope Shakeology isn’t a scam since I just spent quite a bit of money.  I received the bag today, which contains 30 servings.  This represents a one month supply if you have one shake per day.  I made my first shake using my Magic Bullet .  I purchased the chocolate flavor and added a banana and skim milk to the powder.  The shake had a thick and creamy consistency.  The taste is amazing, unlike any other diet shakes I’ve tasted before!  I had the shake for lunch and two hours later, I’m still not hungry.

Stay tuned as I begin my journey using  this product!  If you would like more information about Shakeology, visit my friend Tiffany Nelson’s Beachbody website!
