Think you can’t “afford” Shakeology? Think again!


I’m willing to challenge anyone that says that Shakeology is too expensive and show you exactly why it is actually going to save you money instead!

First, I want you to answer this question: how much to you spend, most days, on either meals out, lattes from your favorite coffee shop, energy drinks, or at the very least, convenience meals you can warm up in the microwave at work. $3.00, $4.00, even more? If this is true for you, then you can afford Shakeology, because at the coach discount, the least it will cost you is $3.00 and most it will cost is $3.75. At the retail cost, $5.00 at the most and $4.00 at the least. And, you will be getting pure, extreme nutrition, which is far beyond what you would get at even the healthiest meal you can think of.




Next, do you have any health ailments? Or do you have a family history of health ailments? Of course, we can’t claim to “cure” any diseases or conditions, but the fact is, people that are using Shakeology have testified that they are losing weight, they are able to get off of cholesterol medication, they no longer need to take heart medicines and are even getting to the point where they no longer need diabetic meds. Again, we can’t claim that this is going to be true for you, or that it is the Shakeology that is truly responsible for these events, but, to me, if there is anything out there that could make me NOT have to be dependent on a cocktail of meds, I’m all for trying it out. That could eventually lead you to quite a bit of savings a month on prescriptions and years on to your life!

Have you ever gone to the store and purchase $100 or more in groceries, just to end up having things go bad and have to throw them out? I know I have. You can cut back in your grocery budget by buying fewer items, because you are replacing a meal or two a day with Shakeology. That is less you have to buy at the store and less that ends up in the trash in a few days. One serving of Shakeology has more than $41 worth of produce in it..... Hmm..... That’s a $36 SAVINGS for each shake. A lot better deal than what we end up throwing out because it’s gone bad before we ate it.




Do you take vitamins and supplements on a daily basis? With Shakeology, they really become unnecessary. If you are like me and want to error on the side of caution, you may continue to take them, but to be perfectly honest, I forget to take my extra supplements a few times a week and as long as I’ve had my Shakeology that day, I feel great! Depending on where you fall on this spectrum, that can be a savings of a few dollars a month and up to, well, quite a bit of money for some of you!

Let’s talk about meals out now. How much do you spend going out to eat, no matter of the meal, each week? $10, $25, $50, more? I know it is a bunch of money for most people. Whether it’s going to lunch on a daily basis, running through the McDonald’s drive-thru for a McMuffin  on the way to work in the morning, pizza to-go because you don’t have any time to make dinner? I’ll tell you what, blending up a scoop of Shakeology with your favorite add-ins is going to be a meal in itself and will likely last you longer than any of the above. And for $5 or less a shake!

Kids have baseball/soccer/scouts/fill-in-the-blank tonight, you are going to be on the run all evening, and they need something to fill them up while being on the go? What kids would turn down a chocolate shake for dinner? Beats anything you’ll be finding out on the road while you’re being a kid taxi! Blend it up with ice and tell them they can have it for dinner. Put it in a shaker cup and off you go! Just don’t let them know it’s healthy for them too.....

I could continue with the reasons why Shakeology is not too expensive, but it comes down to this..... You have a 30 day money back guarantee so if you still think it’s too expensive and it‘s not actually SAVED you money, you get 100% of your money back. If you decide to become a “coach” for the wholesale discount, you save 25% off of your Shakeology. If you are at all concerned with being the healthiest you can possibly be, to be there for your kids, friends and family, then there is no amount of money that should stand in the way. At $5.00 or less a day, it is definitely worth every last cent you spent on it and more.  

If you agree, then let me know. And I invite you to go to www.Amazing-Shake.com to find out even more about Shakeology and why it is really “The Healthiest Meal of the Day”!

The Science Behind the Shakeology 3 Day Cleanse

I like to call the Shakeology 3-Day Cleanse a "performance cleanse." This is because it was designed to be done with a workout program. Let's take a look at how this differs from other cleanses, how to tailor it to your needs, and what to expect if you or your customers decide to try it.

First of all, it's not a true cleanse. It's a calorie-restricted and nutrient-dense diet plan. Traditional cleanses contain very few calories and nutrients. Compared to the much more popular Master Cleanse, it's like an all-you-can-eat buffet. Traditional cleansing diets are done to rid your system of toxins and bring it into homeostasis. They also contain a spiritual aspect. This process can take a long time, which is why you may have seen coworkers walking around the office in a zombie-like state for weeks on end—swilling a strange concoction of lemons and maple syrup.

The Shakeology cleanse is nothing like that. Depending on how you decide to do it, you'll be eating frequently and consuming between 800 and 1,200 calories per day, and it could be even more should you feel the need. The point of this cleanse is not calorie restriction, per se—it's nutrient efficiency. The aim is to get the most nutrients possible into the fewest number of calories. The goal is to put all of these calories to use as a part of your exercise program, to rid your body of undigested foods and toxins, and to bring your hydration levels into homeostasis. The result you're after is not weight loss—though it will likely occur—but for your body to be running more efficiently. This should make you feel lighter and more energetic, even though you're doing an exercise program.

How It Works

Your eating structure doesn't change. You still eat every few hours while you're awake. Each meal should have a balance of proteins, carbohydrates, fats, and fiber. And while you're not eating as much food as you'd normally eat, your calorie-to-nutrient ratio is extremely high. This means that you shouldn't restrict the actual nutrients you're getting by too much, so activity can continue as normal.

We recommend you try to keep your shakes to just Shakeology. Adding fruits of any kind, or seeds (for fat and fiber), or the Shakeology Fiber supplement, can and should be done as you see fit.

Ditto for your one solid meal—a salad. As we all know from any salad bar, the definition of salad can be varied. The goal of the salad in the plan is to keep your calories coming from natural sources (no artificial ingredients should be added, including artificial salad dressing). Aside from that, you can add ingredients as necessary. Keep your meat intake to four ounces or less, but add veggies, seeds, nuts, fruits, and legumes in quantities to satiate you.

The goal of the Shakeology 3-Day Cleanse is to optimize your performance. You want to eat enough to fuel your day AND your workout. The foods you're eating are so high in fiber and nutrients that it's virtually impossible to overeat. You'll be consuming so much fiber, along with enzymes and digestive aids, that your body's ability to flush excess foods quickly will be at its peak.

What to Drink

Water, of course, is recommended in quantity. This is vital to any cleanse, because one of your goals is to bring your hydration into homeostasis. When your electrolytes are out of balance—the main problem we have is salt—you often retain water outside of your cells. This situation, which we refer to as retaining water, is cured by drinking more water. As the excess salts are diffused, your body begins to hydrate your cells (using sodium as it should be used) and flush the water held outside the cells. So, oddly enough, you drink water to eliminate water retention.

Sodas, alcohols, juices, etc., should be eliminated entirely during a cleanse. Coffee and tea, which are diuretics, should be minimized at the very least and eliminated if possible. Again, performance is the key, so if you need a cup of Joe as a pick-me-up, go ahead. Just use only as needed, and don't use additives. Eliminating sugar and chemicals is vital. However, do not use energy drinks or soda for this purpose, including the ones with artificial sweeteners. Coffee drinkers may find that switching to black tea during a cleanse will give you the energy you're looking for with less upset. Coffee's acidic nature can heighten the effects in a negative way during your cleanse.

Why You Won't Lose Weight :-D Read this CAREFULLY!

I should say why you might not lose weight, but I wanted to get your attention. Most people will lose some weight during a cleanse, but that is not the goal. Those with a lot of undigested gunk in their systems will lose weight as it's flushed out. Those of you who are properly hydrated and already eat well are less likely to lose. For those of you who need to lose weight, take heart: you are setting up your system to use nutrients more efficiently and improving your ability to lose weight through structured diet and exercise. So while you may not lose much on the cleanse, you'll be more prepared to lose weight later.

Another reason why we don't always lose weight on cleanses is due to a stress hormone called cortisol. Restricting calories is stressful to the body, and it reacts by releasing cortisol. Cortisol is performance-enhancing in the short term, but if you somehow keep your body stressed for long periods, it creates havoc in your system and can cause you to doggedly hang onto weight in a type of survival mode. We don't want this to occur, which is one reason the Shakeology 3-Day Cleanse is short. It's important not to remain in a highly calorie-deficient state for long periods of time, especially when you are trying to exercise hard.

So What Do I Do Next?

Look for the event to be posted. Check here or my wall on Facebook, www.Facebook.com/RebeccaMIngham. Read all the information and contact me with ANY questions that you may have. BodyPowerFitness@gmail.com
Go to my website and order your Shakeology, www.Amazing-Shake.com. Ordering a bag of your favorite flavor on home direct is the best deal (free shipping and a free $30 workout DVD too!).  Shakeologly Boost, the fiber is optional, but I highly recommend it as well.

Mission: TurboFire/ChaLEAN Extreme Hybrid Workout: Day 1



I've been feeling a bit funky the last few weeks: more tired, put on a few mysterious pounds, not really feeling like myself. Decided to take a look at what I've been doing in my day to day activities to see if it's something I'm doing instead of something medical or health related.

So, I decided I needed to get a bit more strict with myself. The last few days, I've been more consciences about what I've been eating, getting more and better sleep, having my Shakeology everyday, doing some kind of exercise everyday (yes, even your trainer and Beachbody coach sometimes needs to take her own advice and make sure she's really pushing play everyday!).

It seems to be working and I decided that since I'm a Chalene Johnson girl at heart, that I'm going to do a TurboFire/ChaLEAN Extreme hybrid workout. I'm going to blog and/or post about it every day, but need my friends to help keep me accountable too. Sometimes I need to be the student instead of the teacher and would sure appreciate any moral support you can give me! Today was TurboFire Stretch 40 and the plan is to go for a bike ride with the hubby after he gets home from work today (weather permitting). 

I'm also using "DailyBurn" to keep track of my calories and workouts, which I do love! I have to admit, it is sometimes a pain in the butt to record everything, but I'm more of a visual person and seeing it in front of me helps so much. I really can stay on track much better when I see how many calories I've eaten and how many I've burned. Then, I know if I can have that little treat, if I need to do an extra workout or need to readjust for the next day. It really is a LIFESAVER! 


I hope to motivate you and have you there to motivate me. Let me know if you have any questions! :)
