Shakeology and Turbo Fire workouts

Meladia · July 2010

I am drinking Shakeology and doing TurboFire workouts. I have lost 10lbs and inches off of my arms, hips and thighs in the last month! I can't wait until next month to have my dress altered!

We support sustainable, healthy lifestyles here. I'm not familiar with turbofire workouts, but the shakeology thing is a gimmick. I took a quick look at the website for it- it says you only replace one meal with the shakes, but what happens when you start eating normally again? It's better to just learn healthy habits and portions than to rely on something you won't be using for the rest of your life.

Turbo Fire is a great at home workout that utilizes High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT). I teach the format at a YMCA in Atlanta. As for Shakeology, I wouldn't call it a gimmick, but a way to get a lot of nutrients and vitamins that you need that many people don't get even when they eat a balanced meal. I am eating well, but it makes my life easier if I can drink a shake in the morning as opposed to going to Mcdonalds.

I agree with Meladia. Shakeology is not a gimmick. It's not like some secret weight loss pill or anything, it's just a shake that has all the vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, etc. that our bodies need but don't get. It is easily something that can be drank for the rest of our lives. I drink it for breakfast because I don't usually have time to make breakfast in the morning. You don't have to replace a meal with the shake, you can drink it as a snack as well.

Way to go Meladia! I am also doing TurboFire, and like I said, drinking Shakeology. I've only been doing TurboFire for 10 days, and I am loving the changes in my body. Truly an amazing workout!

I'm still not buying what you're selling. Sorry. What happens when you stop drinking the shakes?

If you stop drinking the shake, then you're going to need to find a way to get everything that was in that shake in another form (fruits, veggies, pills, etc.). If not, then you will not be getting your daily needs that are needed to live a healthy lifestyle. The same thing is going to happen to you if you stop drinking Shakeology as if you choose to stop picking healthy food choices.

Many people do not get all the nutrients, vitamins, antioxidants, etc. that are in Shakeology, so it is an alternative way for them to get them rather than spending hundreds on pills and/or eating certain kinds of foods.

Like I said before, Shakeology can easily be drank for the rest of your life. At $4/meal, it's not too pricey. Any other meal you eat is going to be the same price, if not more (especially if you eat out).

I agree with you that people need to learn portion size and making healthy eating choices. Shakeology is not preventing them from doing that. I'm not trying to get you to drink Shakeology, I just want you to understand that it isn't a "gimmick". People can and will drink this stuff the rest of their life.

I agree with everyone else that Shakeology is not a gimmick. Its a healthy meal replacement to help you get the elements in your diet that you wouldn't normally get. I know people who do not need to lose weight who use Shakeology. It helps keep their body in balance. Many people have lowered their blood pressure, their cholesterol, strengthened their immune systems, regrew their hair, gotten rid of IBS and sooo many other health ailments just by drinking this shake. I gave it to my friend who is a doctor to analyze it because I wanted to know for myself and she could find NOTHING wrong with me drinking it once a day. I wish I had it when I was getting ready for my wedding but thats ok I have it now. I am sending out free samples tomorrow! I have a long line of requests. I am getting my mom on it too!
