Best Time To Drink Shakeology

When should I drink Shakeology?

What is the best time to drink Shakeology?

Should I drink Shakeology for breakfast?

These are questions I get asked A LOT from my challengers. Everyone wants to know when they should be fitting their Shakeology into their day.

I'll tell you right now that in my opinion there is no right or wrong time. The amazingness of Shakeology is not going to be diminished by not drinking it at a specific time. 

The best time to drink Shakeology is whenever YOU want. 

When it fits best into YOUR routine. Simple as that. 

I'm honestly all over the map, my days vary a lot so when I get my Shakeology can change from day to day. 

Here are a few questions though that you can ask yourself to try and figure out where it will serve you best…

1. Am I busy and in a rush in the mornings and end up hitting the drive through or don't eat breakfast at all?

If you answered YES to this question then having your Shakeology for breakfast would be PERFECT for you. It is so quick and easy to prep and you can even drink it on your way.

2. Do I find myself feeling low in energy part way through the day?

If you answered YES to this question the having your Shakeology as an afternoon snack is the best way to go. You can boost your energy on something actually good for you as opposed to eating or drinking something that will just make you crash an hour later and continue the cycle.

3. Is the evening when I most often start having strong cravings for snacks and treats?

If you answered YES to this question then drinking Shakeology as an evening treat is awesome. Satisfy that sweet tooth with all the goodness of Shakeology and have it taste AWESOME. 

4. Do I need something after my workout to help me recover better?

If you are finding that after your workout you just can't feel recuperated quickly enough then having your Shakeology then is a great choice. The combination of protein, carbohydrates, and adaptogens will help your body feel much better. I have personal experience with this. 

Remember that NONE of this is set in stone. Part of going through this process is discovering what works best for your body. How do you respond best. Learn about your body. Take what your body is telling you and make the necessary adjustments. This is supposed to be a learning experience where you find how to operate at your best and that is going to be different for everyone. If you are like me it's even different day to day.

Whenever you do choose to rock your Shakeology you can be confident that it is the right choice for you and that is all that matters. You are fuelling your body with the best that there is no matter what time of day you are drinking it.

Shakeology Clinical Studies

The studies have been done...

The results are in...

Shakeology is every bit amazing as 

loyal customers say it is 

------------

At this year's Beachbody Summit the results of the clinical studies done on Shakeology were announced to anxious coaches and the results were everything that was expected.

For years Shakeology users, loyal customers, have been extolling the virtues of Shakeology. People felt healthier, less cravings, more energized, lower cholesterol, lower blood sugar, and as a result lost more weight. 

There is now clinical PROOF!! 

Now I for one haven't needed any scientific convincing that Shakeology simply rocks. I know from my personal experience with it that it is amazing. As a busy work at home and homeschooling mum of three I have first hand experience of the energizing effects of Shakeology. It truly has done magic in terms of my cravings, now I crave my Shakeology. I recuperate much quicker after a workout that when I was drinking fruit smoothies. And having lost 100 lbs it is making is so much easier to maintain. 

But if proof is what you are looking for…

What the Study Involved

1. The study was lead by Medicus Research (specializes in clinical trials for natural health products)

2. Study looked at subjects blood work, weight, BMI, diet, etc.

3. Subjects returned at 30 day intervals for further testing

4. Subjects were required to drink Shakeology twice per day with NO OTHER CHANGES to diet or exercise

5. Subjects tracked daily for accountability 

RESULTS

1. Average weight loss of 10 lbs (some up to 24 lbs)

2. Weight loss occurred over the course of the whole study

3. Cholesterol reduced an average of 7% (max of 50%!!!!)

4. Many reduced cholesterol to the point where pharmaceutical intervention was unnecessary

5. Average blood sugar reduced 5% on average up to 19%

So what does this mean?

It means that Shakeology has been clinically proven to do what customers have been saying for years. Whether you need to lose weight, lower cholesterol, gain better control over your blood sugar or type two diabetes, or just want to feel healthier YOU CAN! With Shakeology. 

I have been drinking Shakeology daily for almost a year and I feel awesome. I didn't need a study to tell me that. Some people do though. If you are one of those that need a little more proof it's all there. Now you can have your shake and drink it too.

P90 New Tony Horton Program

P90: New Program from Tony Horton

INTRODUCING…..P90

What is absolutely amazing about this program is that it is designed for BEGINNERS. Beachbody heard you and listened. Too many people were intimated by P90X, X2, and X3.

That is exactly why P90 was created

Releasing sometime Fall 2014 I am very excited to be able to offer my coaching customers such an excellent program. Be sure to check out the preview right to the right---------------->

To stay in the loop about P90, how and when to purhcase, stay tuned to my blog OR add me as a FREE COACH to be informed. You can also email me at rockyourlifemovement@icloud.com (put P90 in the subject line).

The Right Tool For The Job

Stay On Track With These
Healthy Weight Loss Tools

Losing weight is like a job, and I've become THE BOSS! One thing I've realized over my ups and down is that you NEED to have the right tool for the job. Just like you wouldn't use a hammer to put in a screw you need to find the right tools for you to get the job done right. Here are some of my favourite tools. 

Food Journal

You will most definitely need some kind of way to track your food. You can do this through a food diary/food journal/food tracker whatever you want to call it. It can be on a piece of paper, on your computer, an app on your phone. However your choose to keep track and whatever every you call it doesn’t matter as much as ACTUALLY DOING IT. Little bites add up all the time and if you don’t really analyze your intake you will never make the connection. Even for me while I eat mostly clean there can be too much of a good thing. There are appropriate portion sizes for everything. If you bite it. You write it.

                                

Get Digital

On the same train as a food journal is a digital scale. This can be an invaluable tool when using a food diary. It is impossible to account and track foods  accurately without the aid of a food scale. 

Fitness is important for healthy weight loss. An active and fit body will burn more calories than a body that is slow or sedentary with little muscle. Using some type of activity tracking device such as a pedometer is a great idea, especially when beginning. When you see how much movement you are (or aren’t) actually getting you can challenge yourself to get more and more each day. Seeing the numbers reflected on the pedometer can be a motivator and give reassurance. There are a wide variety of pedometers and activity counters on the market. 

Portion Size Moderation Tools

Recently Beachbody came out with an AMAZING program called the 21 Day Fix. What I found so cool about it were the cute colour coded containers that really help with making sure you are having the right portion sizes (as well as how many of each portion). If detailed tracking and measuring is NOT your thing then this is certainly a great program to look into. 

Having something to help your measure properly is an excellent tool. It really makes it easy to ensure you are getting all the foods that you do need in the right amounts.

Get Support And Get Ahead

No one can go through difficult journeys alone. Everyone needs a little healthy weight loss help (such as the kind I am providing you here). Along this line is also weight loss support. You will need people who understand your challenges, can commiserate with your down moments, and cheer you with positive reenforcement when you are doing great. Find a group of friends and challenge each other Biggest Loser style, go to a weight watchers meeting, seek out others on line who have the same difficulties. Don’t go it alone. We all need a little help from our friends. 

Another FANTASTIC way to be supported is to have a Beachbody Coach.

-Did you know that your Beachbody Coach can set you up with a free team beachbody account?

-Did you know that your coach can help you with meal plans, lead you towards fun and engagin workouts, give you information on the amazing Shakeology, and best part....

Measuring Your Success

Knowing where you are now and where you want to go are important. 

Sometimes the scale can be your friend and sometimes not. One of the times where the scale can bog you down is when you are strength training and building muscle. Also at times your body may plateau on the scale which leads you to be frustrated. There are other ways to measure your weight loss. Like with a good old measuring tape. You need know though how to measure weight loss correctly. 

Staying Motivated

Motivation is a very important tool for healthy weight loss. Without having the right motivation you head towards crashing and burning. It is your motivation that helps you pick the right foods and get your bum off the couch. By following me on my Rock Your Life Movement page on Facebook or Instagram, or following other great health and fitness bloggers there and on Pinterest you can always get your daily dose of motivation. 

Once you all these right tools in your corner AND using them to your advantage you can get rocking on your weight loss.

Attract Good To Your Life

I am a big believer in attracting goodness into your life. HUGE!! It is something that I have experienced many times over in my life since I started understanding The Secret. 

Now that doesn't mean that bad things don't happen to me and my family. We go through some serious hard times BUT we always maintain a positive attitude. We look for the positive. There is ALWAYS a silver lining.

How do you approach adversity? How do you deal with stress? Do you let it roll you over? Do you allow it to take over your life? I used to be that way. Until I started applying very simple steps to my life.

When I began attracting good everything began to change. It wasn't the outside world that changed for me though. Oh no. It was everything inside of me. My perspective. My reactions.

Think about this for a moment. You wake up in the morning. You stub your toe on the way to the washroom. You can't find the shirt you wanted to wear. On and on it goes, your day just keeps getting worse and worse. Simple things that shouldn't get you down end up throwing off your entire day. 

DON'T GIVE NEGATIVITY POWER OVER YOU! 

Throughout your day many things will cross your path. When these are good things, take a moment, revel in it, give thanks for it. When these are bad things, take a moment, mentally reset, release the negativity and continue on.

This can be REALLY hard for some people. Positivity just does not come naturally. It has a lot to do with growth and with personal development. You need to nurture that side of you, coax it out.

Some day soon I will share with you a major incident that happened to our family, how we dealt with it, and how we have turned it from one of the darkest days to a bright shiny rainbow. We are still in the midst of some grey sky and drizzle but very soon we'll be holding that pot of gold.

So enough with the metaphors, analogies, etc. Just be happy. Be joyful. Have gratitude. Rock your day, whatever may come your way.

Why Should I Drink Shakeology?

As I sit here drinking my Shakeology it occurred to me that there are so many people out there that don't know about Shakeology. They don't know what an amazing nutrition source it is. They don't know how it can improve their lives. They don't know how important an investment is. And to me that is wrong.

So I'd just like to take a moment and shed a little light on why everyone should be drinking Shakeology. We all have problems, many the same, some different, but some of the issues that Shakeology can help with are almost universal.

Do any of the following apply to you?

-Lack energy

-Have cravings for junk food

-Tired

-Need to lose weight

-Struggle with regularity (you know what I'm talkin' about)

-Have digestive upset

-Always having to rush 

-Generally feel blah

If you ticked off even just ONE of those things chances are that Shakeology can make a BIG improvement in your life. I know that it has for me. I had already lost a significant amount of weight before drinking Shakeology. I was already exercising and improving my diet but Shakeology was the proverbial icing on the cake. It just made everything SO MUCH BETTER.

Now back to that list up top. All those things giving you trouble can be helped with Shakeology. Here are some stats to back that up. These are from a test group of 3,000 Shakeology drinkers.

93% feel HEALTHIER

86% report INCREASED ENERGY

81% feel it helped REDUCE CRAVINGS

72% LOST WEIGHT

74% found their MOOD IMPROVED

77% felt more ALERT and FOCUSED

91% say it helped the FEEL MORE REGULAR

These are REAL PEOPLE that have made their lives better by drinking Shakeology. So you may be wondering now well, how exactly does this actually work, why are people getting these amazing benefits from a shake. 

And here is a kicker. We are all busy people. That is why we get sucked in by drive throughs. Shakeology is QUICK! You can throw a package and water in your bag, grab your shaker cup and go. In the morning it takes literally less than 3 minutes to make, even if you are adding extra ingredients. Three minutes to a full nutrient dense meal. Can't even get through a drive through in that time. 

This isn't just a shake people. It is a super food nutritional shake. It is made up entirely of HEALTHY ingredients. And not just that, they are ingredients that are found around the world that are known to make you feel healthier. Things like chia, maca, ashwaganda, gogi berries, and the list goes on and on and on, to actually more than 70 super food ingredients. 

Seriously, if you are struggling with your weight, your health, your mood, your body, it is in your best interest to give Shakeology a try. There is a 30 day money back guarantee so even if for some strange bizarre reason that you are in that minuscule percent that don't like it, just return and get your money back. You are worth the try. YOU are worth the investment. 

For more information on Shakeology come find me on Facebook at FB.com/Rockyourlifemovement or find out more at www.rocknshake.com  

I'm on a mission to help everyone be their healthiest and best self. Rock On.
