Shakeology® is primarily marketed as a healthy meal replacement shake but for me personally it has done so much more. I drink it as a daily multivitamin. I have never been the type to keep up with taking pills so a vitamin in pill form just wasn’t something I could keep up with. However, drinking a chocolate shake every day is no problem for me.
Besides the taste, vitamins, antioxidants, protein, and all the other good stuff in Shakeology, I have used it for the following:
Controlling my eczema (flax seed is an ingredient)
Controlling dessert cravings (makes a great dessert)
Daily multivitamin
Now, let me explain the controlling eczema portion. I am not claiming that it can or will help control eczema. I used to purchase flax seed oil every month as it helps to prevent my own flare-ups. However, since drinking Shakeology, I don’t need to supplement with flax seed unless I want to. I haven’t in some time and my eczema has not had any flare-ups since. I am even happy to report that my skin is healthier. I’m sure it may have to do with some of the other healthy ingredients as well as reducing my stress levels with exercise.
Overall I am pleased with the product and I’m so glad it exists. I tried forever to find a good liquid multivitamin and most didn’t come close to the ingredients Shakeology has. They also always tasted awful to the point where I couldn’t even force myself to drink them.
If you are still debating whether or not to give Shakeology a try, I suggest trying it for 30 days. Purchase the 30-day supply of chocolate or greenberry. See for yourself if it helps you with weight loss, providing more energy, or as a great multivitamin.
During the holidays I really got into a bit of a slump. I didn’t stop working out completely but I slowed down from 5 days a week to about 1 or 2 days. My eating fell off too because I got into the habit of eating out more. I had to get my motivation back so what I did was change up my routine again. I had been doing The Shakeology Workouts for awhile so I started doing the P90X Lean again.
It was just the boost I needed. I started to feel a lot better physically and I’ve been shopping for groceries and making my meals the way I had before. I’ve also started walking almost daily for about 30 to 45 minutes with friends just around my neighborhood. My lesson learned is not to go for too long on breaks. Personally, it was too easy for me to fall back into old habits such as working out less and eating out more.
Break Out of a Slump
If you are going through a slump right now in the fitness department, here are some tips to get you going again.
Do something new in terms of exercise – If you always workout indoors, try going outdoors for a walk or a run. Switch up your Beachbody programs or try a new one.
Put on your workout clothes – Even small actions can get you to workout. Put on your workout clothes. Once you have them on, you know that it’s time to workout even if only for 20 minutes. You will begin to get back into the groove.
Shop at a new grocery store – I always shop at the same grocery store by my home. I decided to try a health food store a little further away and found some great items that I like to prepare. The break in routine got me excited about cooking again and eating healthier. It broke my slump of constantly dining out.
Those are my tips to get out of a lazy slump and get moving again. Have you experienced the same thing? What is your advice?
If you are already familiar with the benefits of becoming a Beachbody Coach, then you have probably heard of the customer lead program. This program is awesome because Beachbody will give you customers once you have reached the level of Emerald Coach. This means whenever those new customers purchase anything in the future, you will receive the commission.
I’m not sure the exact number of new customers received per month but I have noticed several myself. I have already received commissions due to these new customers that I didn’t even have to work to get. It is such a great program and becoming eligible only requires reaching the level of Emerald Coach. All that is required to become an Emerald Coach is having two coaches in your network (one in each leg – left & right) that are both active (50 PV points each.)

Not only will you continue earning commissions from your own personal sales, you will also generate them with no extra work on your part. I have not heard of any other company that has a similar program. In my opinion, it just goes to show what a great company Beachbody truly is.
