As I close in on my 90 day “trial” with Shakeology I thought I would share my thoughts and results with you. First you might be asking what is Shakeology? For that…you should first read this.
So, my first 90 days, or 3 months have been fantastic…more energy, more nutrition, better digestion, and shedding fat. My goal is no longer weight loss, as a cyclist I am striving hard for the power to weight ratio…so I am trying to be as strong and light as possible. This means trim fat, add muscle…and with the help of Shakeology, a simply healthy lifestyle, and my training I have been able to continually reduce my body fat %!
Robin, my wife has also been using Shakeology for about a month…and has a bit different perspective on it. You can read her thoughts here. I would love to add more and different perspectives as well …so if you are using or have used Shakeology please comment. I think everyone’s body is different, and will respond differently…so I welcome all feedback.
For me, I am sticking with Shakeology! Going into the “off season” for cycling, I am looking to get as fit as possible, and have seen Shakeology be a great part of my training process. I am also trying to maintain my healthy lifestyle, and this fits perfectly as well.

Seriously looking into this. Thanks for the honest, real-life update. Not the infomercial version.
You bet Craig…try and stay totally away from the infomercial crapla here. Happy to help anyway I can.
I don’t want to be the guy that sounds like an infomercial
but… Shakeology has been a true blessing to my family! My wife has always struggled with getting her blood sugar under control in the mornings and now it’s in check. The five months that we’ve been on it, I’ve dropped 17 lbs. and 7.5% body fat (P90X + healthy eating). Overall, we have more energy and just LOVE the way it tastes. We look forward to waking up and having our Shakeology first thing in the morning!
