Shakeology

Even if you searched the world, you probably wouldn't be able to find all of the 70+ high-quality ingredients included in Shakeology. This delicious shake provides a nutrient rich meal in just one glass.






The Shakeology "3-Day Cleanse"
I currently drink Shakeology everyday, either to replace my breakfast or lunch (and because I otherwise find it really hard to get in all the fruits and veggies I need throughout my day). Every once in awhile, I'll need that extra boost in my metabolism to help kick start me - perfect time for the 3-day cleanse. After the cleanse, I just go back to my normal Shakeology routine of trying to eat as clean as possible and having one shake per day. I've been getting great results. Here is a description of what I do on the cleanse:

This is a performance-oriented system...It’s not the Master Cleanse. The goal is to promote flushing junk from your system and regulating hydration levels. It’s calorically restricted to be sure. But in its 1500 or so calories will be more nutrients than most people get by eating well over twice that amount. The key is caloric efficiency; getting the most nutrients possible out of the fewest number of calories. It’s too fat restrictive for a lifestyle plan, but perfect for a three day jump-start to looking and feeling better.

People are getting great results with this! Lose weight, feel great!

Three Day Shakeology Cleanse Summary:

Have 3 Shakeology Shakes a day- If the shakes are plain (Shakeology and water only) you can add three pieces of fruit.

How does Shakeology stack up against Starbucks?

The results are in. Shakeology® is now certified low glycemic. It’s another stamp of approval that Shakeology is good for you. But that’s not all. Shakeology came in at just 24 on the glycemic index (GI). A number that’s very low and something to be excited about.

Simply put, the glycemic index is a way to measure how carbohydrates react in your blood. When you eat carbs, your blood sugar level rises anywhere from a little to a lot. The GI uses a scale of 0 to 100, with higher numbers given to foods that cause the most rapid rise in blood sugar.

High-GI foods cause the body to produce higher levels of insulin, but sometimes too much. This gives you an energy burst known as a “sugar rush.” It feels good at first, but then your blood sugar drops rapidly to lower than normal levels, known as a “crash.” Eating low-GI foods is a smart way to avoid the “sugar rush” and “sugar crash” cycle. And they’re good for you because they stabilize blood sugar and insulin levels. 

High blood sugar drives your body to produce more insulin. Foods with a high GI (above 70) include white bread, pretzels, potatoes, and most processed foods. Eating these foods triggers a rapid rise in blood sugar and insulin levels, which:

• Encourages your body to store fat

• Creates a cycle of hunger pangs and feeling unsatisfi ed

• Causes an energy crash that leaves you irritated and tired

• Can lead to high blood pressure, fluid retention, and diabetes

Foods with a low GI (under 55) include broccoli, oatmeal, peanuts, and Shakeology. Consuming these foods helps stabilize blood sugar and insulin levels, which:

• Increases levels of glycogen, a hormone that causes body fat to be burned

• Helps satisfy feelings of hunger

• Helps balance moods

• Reduces the risk of heart disease, helps control diabetes, and positively affects the aging process*

Believe it or not, Shakeology’s GI rating of 24 is much lower than most fruits, some vegetables, and pretty much every processed food ever made. It helps keep your sugar levels in check while supplying nutrition that satisfies, energizes, and helps promote good health.*
