Ok, so I am now on Day 4 of Shakeology... Wow!
I ordered the Chocolate Shakeology on Home-Direct when I signed on to be a coach. Let me just tell you--4 days in and I'm down 3 pounds... And I haven't been working out... I've been watching what I eat better, but still not perfectly. So really, the only thing that's changed is THE SHAKE!!! I am going to be completely honest about my experiences so far...
Taste: I think Shakeology tastes great. I tried it the first day with Soy Milk---no, no! Too thick or syrup-y or something. But I've been blending it with 1% milk and ice and I swear it tastes like a chocolate milkshake!! I've been replacing my breakfasts with it since Tuesday. Today (Saturday) I actually replaced my lunch with it instead. I'll probably do the same tomorrow as well. Phil tried a sip of my shakeology, and he thought it tasted like cardboard. But once again, I think it's delish :)
Energy: I have found that my energy is higher. I feel more awake and alert. I do still get a little tired by the end of the work-day, but last week I was literally almost falling asleep at my desk. Not this week though!! It's not like a "buzzing around", jittery-type energy, it's just feeling more 'with-it'.
Hunger: I have been eating 5 meals a day... Breakfast, snack, lunch, snack, dinner. Usually I have my breakfast around 7:30 and by the time 10 a.m. rolls around--I AM STARVING for my snack! Now, since I've been having shakeology for breakfast it's like 11 a.m. and I need to FORCE myself to have a snack! I am not hungry! It keeps me satisfied for so long! I do have the snack just so I don't binge for lunch, but I've found that I'm less hungry and it takes less to fill me up! Awesome!
Regularity: This is gross, but I have to tell you! I don't usually USE the bathroom every day... I'm more like every other day, maybe even 3 days without going. NOT ANYMORE! Since starting I have used the bathroom EVERY day... Sometimes even twice! I feel less bloated and healthier! It's awesome!!!
But the real thing for me is the weight loss. Down THREE POUNDS since MONDAY! YESSSSSSSSS!!!! I feel good. I feel like I am on the right path and I just have to keep going! No looking back!
So that's it for the Shakeology Chronicles--so far! I'll keep you posted!
