Sample Day Of Eating

    Hey loves! I've been getting a few questions as to how I get all my calories and nutrients in in a day so I wanted to give a current sample of what a typical day looks like for me. This is not 100% "clean" since I'm all about a sustainable and flexible lifestyle. Here ya go! 

Breakfast
2 eggs
1 piece of 10 grain toast with 1 tbsp of peanut butter or cookie butter spread on top

First Snack
8oz water
6 ice cubes
1 scoop of Chocolate Vegan Shakeology
1 tbsp of PB2
1/2 a banana
I make all of this in a blender, def not individually haha

Lunch
1/2 flour tortilla
1/2 can of tuna
1 tbsp mayonnaise 
I put the tuna and mayo in the tortilla and toast it with some seasoning on top, SOO yummy!
Grande Skinny Vanilla Latte

Second Snack
4 oz Shrimp
1 tbsp Spicy Peanut Vinaigrette
1 oz of South African style Potato Chips (LOL)

Dinner
3 oz of balsamic vinegar and rosemary chicken
1 cup of purple cabbage (seriously loving cabbage these days)

Last meal
3 oz of Shrimp
1 tbsp of Spicy Peanut Vinaigrette
Handful of sliced Bell Pepper


This varies day by day, sometimes I have cottage cheese in there instead of the latte, sometime's I'll have chicken twice instead of shrimp but lately I've been on a serious shrimp kick... More meal plans to come! PS. My calorie target is 1550 so this might seem like a lot or a little depending on your goals, but this plan above is 1541 calories with 52g of fat, 141g of carbs and 134g of protein.

Voila!

Is Shakeology A Scam?

 

    Hey pretties! I've been getting a lot of questions like this lately - and for good reason! I know when I first started looking into beachbody and shakeology I googled the heck out of this question PLUS some:
  • Why is it so expensive?
  • Does it actually help people lose weight?
  • Is it healthy and safe?
  • Will it help me lose weight?
  • Is it a SCAM?
    I'm excited to address those questions... well, here we go!




Why is it so expensive?

    Shakeology is a really nutrient dense superfood. That's it! Haha jk, theres more. Another coach has said, “Shakeology is the ‘kitchen sink approach’ to nutrition. Or better yet, it’s the Swiss Army Knife of nutrition! It has over 70 superfood ingredients in it that your body will use to repair, change, and improve itself.” Shakeology retails for $130, but as a coach you get 25% off, YAY! The truth is, at first I thought I was adding shakeology to my budget and needed to "squeeze it in". But once I started drinking it, I no longer had cravings forcing me to spend money "here and there" and I actually SAVED money. Not to mention the fact that I've lost 20lbs and feel incredible. To me, that alone is worth WAY more than that. So.. you're getting MORE than what you pay for & you're giving your body the tools it needs to avoid the Doctors office! ;)

Does it actually help people lose weight?
    Ay yi yi!!! Where do I even begin on this one? Getting down to the basics - when you give your body the nutrients and vitamins that it needs (and can not get on a daily basis from north american grocery stores) your body is able to properly flush out toxins and function at its BEST. When the body is functioning properly and flushing out toxins it's able to get rid of excess weight that it was holding onto in an attempt to "have" nutrients (which really wasn't nutrients at all, it was fat). To help you even more - Shakeology is now CLINICALLY PROVEN to help you lose weight! What does that mean? It means that Doctors secluded it in a professional study, had their contestants change NOTHING about their lifestyle (ex. no working out, still eating poorly) but drank Shakeology twice per day & -- guess what, the average weight loss was 10lbs in 2 months. Pretty impressive for not changing a thing including moving their behind!

Is it healthy and safe?
    YES! Shakeology is completely healthy & safe! It's safe for pregnant women, breastfeeding women, etc. It's actually GREAT for diabetics since it's low on the glycemic index as well. Since I started drinking shakeology my hair has gotten thicker, my skin has cleared up, my nails are stronger, I haven't been sick in AGES and I'm seriously convinced that if I see my doctor he's going to ask "What have you been DOING?!" *In an overly impressed voice* :) There's a ton of more resources on beachbodys FAQ page - and the truth is, I can't list off the 70+ exotic ingredients off the top of my head. But what I DO know, is that Shakeology has changed my life, and I will continue to let it for FOREVER! 

Will it help me lose weight?
    This is very similar to the question above - and all I want to add is this... I've lost 20 lbs (21lbs as of this morning) since adding shakeology to my diet. I've SAVED money, improved my "regularity" and feel 10x better. If it does all that, plus has helped ME lose the weight I gained during my breakup, then OF COURSE it will totally help you!! Trust me on this. 

Is Shakeology a SCAM?
    Absolutely not. I can see why this is floating around since we ARE Network Marketing! (I'll do a post on that later on today). And truthfully, I'm not ashamed at all! I love what we do. We help people get in shape, make a living, find true friendships, and become better PEOPLE! I wish everyone I knew was a apart of this mission, even if they weren't in my downline - because honestly this "JOB" has been a blessing and it's crazy to think I'm making a living doing this! My friends have started making a living from helping THEIR friends! Okay - I'm getting off track here. But in all seriousness, when you buy Shakeology you're getting an incredible product for your money. And if you don't like it after  month - you get your money back. Seems pretty safe to me, right?! 

CONFESSION: I would still be overweight, broke, and seriously stressed out if it wasn't for shakeology. Thank you for reading loves!
