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.

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.

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.

Reasons To Workout At Home

Even in all my earlier attempts at weight loss I never really went to the gym. Only a few times in my life did I ever have a membership for a gym. One I had for a whole year and actually only ever went once. 

I felt intimidated both by the other more fit people there and also just didn't know what to do. At 250 lbs walking into a gym was a scary idea. For that reason and more I prefer to workout at home by FAR.

Keep reading for more great reasons why 

you should ditch the gym and do your workout at home. 

1. FREE
    The only cost really is the investment into a program and a few supplies like some dumbbells and perhaps a yoga mat. Other than that you are good to go.

2. On YOUR schedule
    Not all gyms are 24 hours. Not all classes are available when you want them to be open. When you workout at home your DVD player is open whenever you want it to be. Pop in that workout and push play!

3. No Commute
    I LOVE that I don't have to drive anywhere to get in my workout. Saves money on gas. Saves wear on the vehicle plus I'm a bit of a tree hugger so fewer emissions added to my carbon footprint is always a bonus in my eyes.

4. Saves Time
   When you workout at a gym you have to factor in the whole time frame. You just don't have to carve out time for the workout but for the drive there and back, waiting for equipment, waiting for classes to start, time spent in the locker room. That one hour workout is going to end up taking probably closer to two hours out of your day. We are busy enough. Put in a 30 minute workout like 21 Day Fix, P90X3, or T25, and now you have and hour and half left to do with whatever you like.

5. No Childcare
   I have three kids. If I had to pay gym childcare that would get pretty pricy! Plus I love the fact that my kids get to do my workouts with me. They are learning excellent lessons in the importance of physical fitness.

6. Privacy
    If I am trying a new dance or martial arts workout I want to be able to look like a fool in my own home. I like that I can wear what I want. If I have a wedgie mid jumping jacks I can fix that with out a crowd ;)

7. BEST TRAINERS
   I get to workout with some of THE BEST trainers in the world. Tony Horton, Shaun T, Les Mills trainers, and more.

8. Focus
   Even with my kids around I find I can still focus better on what I am doing. I just crank the volume to tune them out ;) (totally kidding…sort of).
