 strives to include only the best ingredients which mean often filtering out gmos, gluten, and other common allergens and problematic ingredients. since this 2022足球世界杯德国队分组
 has so many products, it\u2019s difficult to list all of the ingredients in every supplement.<\/p>\n<p>however, we can break down the metagenics ingredients in some of their earliest and most popular products to provide an example of what goes into their formulas. one of the earliest metagenics products, the lactobacillus acidophilus supplement represents early and popular products among users.<\/p>\n<p>their current ultraflora intensive care supplement includes twenty billion live organisms of lactobacillus plantarum, potato starch, and magnesium stearate. this is just one of many gut health products sold for practitioners and patients.<\/p>\n<p>however, one of the most comprehensive and widely used products from metagenics today is the standard multivitamin. the metagenics multivitamin supplement includes:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>vitamin a<\/li>\n<li>vitamin c<\/li>\n<li>vitamin d<\/li>\n<li>vitamin e<\/li>\n<li>b vitamins<\/li>\n<li>calcium<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>vitamin a<\/h3>\n<p>vitamin a is derived from beta-carotene and retinyl acetate in this multivitamin, per <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/pmc3936685\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">community eye health journal<\/a><\/em>. according to <a href=\"https:\/\/ods.od.nih.gov\/factsheets\/vitamina-healthprofessional\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">national institutes of health<\/a>, scientists and medical professionals have found that vitamin a supplementation supports immune function, reproduction, vision, and communication between cells.<\/p>\n<p>it\u2019s also a key player in the formation and maintenance of vital organs such as the heart, lungs, and kidneys.<\/p>\n<h3>vitamin c<\/h3>\n<p>vitamin c is derived from ascorbic acid in this product, and is included to improve immune function, maintain skin health, support bones and blood vessels, and act as an antioxidant, per <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/pmc3673383\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">indian dermatology online journal<\/a><\/em>. as an essential dietary component, it is recommended that people over 18 intake at least 65 mg per day through food and vitamins.<\/p>\n<h3>vitamin d<\/h3>\n<p>national institutes of health claims that vitamin d is found in few foods but is produced when the skin is exposed to sunlight. this vitamin is important to many things but most notably bone health, cell growth, and immune function. vitamin d supplementation through multivitamins is particularly crucial for those who receive very little sunlight or are athletes, per\u00a0<em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/pmc3497950\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">sports health<\/a>.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<h3>vitamin e<\/h3>\n<p>according to <a href=\"https:\/\/ods.od.nih.gov\/factsheets\/vitamine-healthprofessional\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">national institutes of health<\/a>, vitamin e is an antioxidant fighting free radicals in the body. established adequate intake of vitamin e is 15 mg for adults and at least 4 mg for infants and children.<\/p>\n<h3>b-vitamins<\/h3>\n<p>b vitamins in this product include thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, vitamin b6, folate, vitamin b12, biotin, and pantothenic acid.<\/p>\n<p>thiamin, or vitamin b1, plays a role in converting food into energy as well as cell function and growth, based on information from the <a href=\"https:\/\/ods.od.nih.gov\/factsheets\/thiamin-consumer\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">national institutes of health<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>niacin plays key roles in the skin, nerves, digestive system and helps convert food to energy.<\/p>\n<p>vitamin b6 metabolizes proteins, folate supports dna synthesis, and vitamin b12 is also required for proper dna synthesis as well as neurological function and red blood cell formation.<\/p>\n<p>biotin is known for supporting healthy hair skin and nails;

safety by requiring users to consult with partner medical practitioners.<\/p>\n<p>while this does not entirely prevent adverse side effects, it reduces the chance of taking the wrong supplement or taking too much or too little of a product.<\/p>\n<p>since medical practitioners are extensively educated in human health, consulting with them prevents simple errors and can even improve a patient&#8217;s supplement treatment&#8217;s overall outcome.<\/p>\n<div class=\"text-muted text-uppercase jump-target\" style=\"margin-bottom: -30px;margin-top: 40px;font-size: 0.85em;

 dedicated to providing high-quality health supplements and products, with the goal of enhancing the overall well-being of community members. the 2022足球世界杯德国队分组
 employs a distinctive multi-level marketing strategy, bypassing traditional retail channels and relying on non-employee distributors, commonly referred to as \"associates,\" for product distribution. additionally, usana's products are available for purchase through their official website.\r\n\r\nin their operational model, the 2010 income disclosure statement defines \"associates\" as individuals actively building a business, acting as wholesale buyers, or new distributors. the <a href=\"https:\/\/ir.usana.com\/sec-filings\/all-sec-filings\/content\/0001047469-10-002352\/a2197323z10-k.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">2009 sec 10-k filing<\/a> further distinguishes between associates and preferred customers. associates, serving as independent distributors, not only sell usana products but also purchase them for personal use. on the other hand, preferred customers can only buy products at wholesale prices for personal use, without the option to resell or distribute.\r\n\r\nassociates may qualify for commissions based on their product sales and those of any new distributors they recruit. this unique approach sets usana apart in the market.\r\n\r\nusana's global presence extends to 24 countries, where its nutritional products, dietary supplements, and skincare items are distributed through a network of independent distributors. the 2022足球世界杯德国队分组

sales<\/h2>\r\nbeachbody was initially well known for using direct marketing and infomercials to sell their exercise routines and videos. this business model still applies today, even with shakeology; these products aren't in stores. the old infomercials are still available on beachbody's website.\r\n\r\nshakeology products are still sold entirely through direct marketing, but the infomercials no longer play a role. instead, beachbody uses independent contractors that sell the product directly to consumers.\r\n\r\nmany people hear this and assume that beachbody and, therefore, shakeology is just another multi-level-marketing pyramid scheme. they only earn money based on what they sell individually. coaches only earn what they work for\r\n<h2>beachbody's social media presence<\/h2>\r\nbeachbody is active on social media platforms, facebook, instagram, twitter, and youtube. beachbody also operates separate social media profiles targeted toward marketing shakeology.\r\n<h3>facebook<\/h3>\r\nshakeology's facebook page is most useful for finding shakeology recipes and articles about integrating shakeology products into a healthy diet. success stories and photographs are also on this profile and information about shakeology nutrition facts.\r\n<h3>twitter<\/h3>\r\nthe twitter profile for shakeology is almost a direct duplicate of the facebook content. there is little else that is different about what they offer.\r\n<h3>youtube<\/h3>\r\nthere are many recipes and instructional videos that explain the benefits of the product. the last video posted was in september 16th, 2021.\r\n<h3>pinterest<\/h3>\r\npinterest is where most shakeology recipes are shared. these recipes often include shakeology nutrition facts for the modified shakes. also, there are success stories as well as motivational quotes included on the page.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<h2>shakeology ingredients<\/h2>\r\nnow let's talk about the active ingredients in shakeology shakes. shakeology ingredients are chosen and combined for their supposed synergistic health benefits, meaning that many of these natural ingredients seem to be more effective for improving health and energy levels by working together as a team once they hit your tummy.\r\n\r\nthe most important shakeology nutrients are combined into five proprietary blends of nutrients in each shake:\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li>protein blend to support muscle growth and fat loss<\/li>\r\n \t<li>antioxidants blend to protect from free radicals<\/li>\r\n \t<li>phytonutrients blend to support longevity<\/li>\r\n \t<li>adaptogens blend to promote overall health and mental performance<\/li>\r\n \t<li>probiotics blend to improve digestive health<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<h3>proprietary protein blend<\/h3>\r\nprotein is necessary for repairing and building lean tissue in the body, particularly for building muscle \u2013 which is metabolically active and helps your body burn fat and calories around the clock.\r\n\r\nhigh-protein diets have been found to help active dieters to lose more fat while gaining muscle, so it makes sense that the shakeology diet would make protein the nutritional cornerstone of its weight-loss shakes.\r\n<h3>proprietary super-fruit and antioxidant blend<\/h3>\r\nsince the 1990s, antioxidants have been rapidly growing in popularity as a healthy, natural type of food for promoting general health.\r\n\r\nbecause of the initial research on antioxidants, many natural health and wellness proponents have latched onto them, while natural food supplement companies have used various antioxidants and their extracts as key ingredients in their nutritional products.\r\n\r\nhowever, experts from the national institutes of health and harvard university \u2013 among many others in the medical community \u2013 are cautioning that the earlier conclusions about the nearly magical health benefits of antioxidants may have been exaggerated.\r\n\r\nso we still have a lot to learn about the health benefits and possible risks of supplementing with high levels of antioxidants. it'll be interesting to see how our understanding of these substances evolves as more research is done.\r\n\r\nfor now, most of the available research points toward antioxidants as being good for us, but it's important to point out that there is not a consensus in the scientific community regarding them and that future research is needed to confirm their value and guarantee their safety.\r\n<h3>proprietary super-green\/phytonutrient blend<\/h3>\r\nsome plant-derived phytonutrients have been shown to offer health benefits. spirulina, looks especially interesting and could definitely live up to its name as a superfood or super-nutrient.\r\n\r\nthese blue-green algae has shown great promise for boosting the immune system.\r\n\r\nmost research on spirulina has been on animals or in test tubes rather than humans though, so more human trials will be needed to confirm these benefits. but so far this phytonutrient seems very promising.\r\n\r\nkale is regarded as one of the most nutritionally-dense foods on the planet, as it is packed with a host of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and fiber with very few calories. spinach, moringa and chlorella have been chosen for this blend due to their high nutritional value as well.\r\n<h3>proprietary adaptogen blend<\/h3>\r\nadaptogens or phytoadaptogens are substances derived from plants and fungi that have been used in traditional medicine systems around the world for centuries.\r\n\r\nmaca has been cultivated by the indigenous people of peru for over two thousand years.\r\n<h3>proprietary pre- and probiotic\/digestive enzyme blend<\/h3>\r\nprobiotics are bacteria that live inside our bodies and help us to digest food and fight off bad germs.\r\n\r\nthere are over 500 different species of these microorganisms, and we don't really know yet what all of them do inside of us, but it's an area of research that has been booming in recent decades.\r\n\r\nprebiotics are fibrous foods that initially resist digestion as they make their way to the colon, where they begin to ferment and become a primary food source for the good bacteria in your gut.\r\n\r\nin other words, probiotics are the good bugs in your tummy, and prebiotics is what you feed to the good bugs. all prebiotics are fibers, but not all fibers are prebiotics.\r\n\r\nit should be noted, however, that the research isn't as overwhelming as some marketers would like you to believe. probiotics don't help everyone who takes them, and we don't even know for sure that probiotic supplements are very useful \u2013 or if they are completely safe or not.\r\n\r\nsome studies have made researchers think twice because the results weren't always positive. still, while there's no consensus just yet, there is a good deal of evidence in favor of probiotics, which is why they're included in these products.\r\n\r\nshakeology is well known for using wholesome, plant-based ingredients in its diet shakes. each shake contains five different nutrient blends all targeted at a different function.\r\n<h3>proprietary blends<\/h3>\r\neach of the five proprietary blends has different types and amounts different nutrients and natural minerals depending on which shake is purchased.\r\n\r\nthese differences are minor, and each beachbody protein shake nutritional content is identical.\r\n<h3>protein blend: whey, pea, sacha inchi, chia, flax, quinoa<\/h3>\r\nprotein is well known as a building block for muscle, but it has added functions in the body.\r\n\r\nhuman bones, skin, internal organs, muscles and much more comprise protein, just arranged in different ways. it's the first ingredient in shakeology.\r\n\r\nthrough daily activity we break down our muscle, bone, and skin and need to regenerate it.\r\n<h3>amino acid<\/h3>\r\nthe protein sources in shakeology are all vegetarian and vegan. it's important to know plant-based protein sources do not always have essential amino acids that are present in animal-based protein sources such as beef, poultry, and eggs.\r\n\r\nthe completeness of any plant-based protein supplement is a necessary consideration.\r\n\r\nthe pea and quinoa in every beachbody protein shake claims to be a \"complete protein\".\r\n<h3>how much protein is needed?<\/h3>\r\nthere are many competing beliefs about protein and how much is needed, but there a common rule of thumb for maintenance is .8 grams of protein for each kilogram of body mass.\r\n\r\nthis translates to under a half gram of protein for every pound of body weight.\r\n\r\nthe nutrition board of the institute of medicine, but, comes to a\u00a0different conclusion. they recommend 56 grams of protein as a man of any size and 46 grams of protein as a woman.\r\n\r\nan exception is made for women who are breastfeeding, at which point they recommend a daily intake 71 grams of protein.\r\n\r\nwhile it may seem women need less protein than men; women often weigh less than men; so on a per pound basis, the same rule of .8 grams per kilogram still applies.\r\n<h3>protein for athletes<\/h3>\r\nactive and competitive athletes often need far more protein than their less active counterparts.\r\n\r\na 2011 study recommends more than double the amount of protein for these individuals, with optimal results coming from 1.8 to 2 grams of protein per kilogram of body mass.\r\n\r\nthis translates to .8 to 1 gram of protein per pound of body mass, or as much as 150 grams of protein per day for an athletic man. (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pubmed\/22150425\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><em>journal of sports science<\/em><\/a>)\r\n\r\nit is important to understand unlike other micronutrients, the vast majority of people cannot get enough protein from shakeology products alone.\r\n\r\na single serving of greenberry shakeology only has 16 grams of protein, meaning that someone consuming three shakes per day can only reach 48 grams of protein, below the 56 grams of recommended by the <em>nutrition board of the institute of medicine<\/em>.\r\n\r\nantioxidants blend camu-camu, acerola cherry, bilberry, lycium berry (goji berry), green tea, luo han guo, pomegranate, rose hips, vitamins a, c, e.\r\n<h3>additional nutritional facts about shakeology<\/h3>\r\nphytonutrients blend moringa, chlorella, spirulina, spinach, kale.\r\n\r\nedible plants can contain thousands of natural chemicals, all with different purposes.\u00a0\"phyto\" nutrients, referring to the greek word for plant, help protect the plant from outside invaders such as germs, fungi, and insects.\r\n\r\nbecause there are so many phytonutrients it can be very difficult to pin down the exact chemical that is causing health benefits.\r\n\r\nchlorella has had a strong effect in detoxifying heavy metals. due to their mass and other properties, it can be difficult for your body to detox and eliminated these metals on its own.\r\n\r\nthere are many other proven health benefits associated with plant-based phytonutrients. while they may differ from plant to plant, beach body shakes can cover more multiple sets of phytonutrients all at the same time.\r\n<h3>adaptogens blend ashwagandha, astragalus, cordyceps, maca, maitake, reishi, schisandra.<\/h3>\r\nadaptogens are named for their ability to help the body adapt and overcome difficult or different situations.\r\n\r\nthese are considered more holistic in traditional approaches to nutrition and supplementation.\r\n\r\nthere is far less scientific research available for these types of nutrients than there is for the other core beachbody shake ingredients.\r\n\r\nwhile there may be less raw scientific research being done, many observational studies can be found and conclusions can be drawn for some of these ingredients.\r\n<h3>pre- and probiotic\/digestive enzyme blend: yacon root, chicory root, bacillus coagulans, amylase, cellulase, lactase, glucoamylase, alpha-galactosidase, invertase.<\/h3>\r\nthe digestive system is a complex ecosystem filled with essential bacteria that help the human body function in several ways.\r\n\r\nthese bacteria help in digestion by breaking down food and by creating vital nutrients such as short-chain fatty acids.\r\n\r\nthese nutrients fall into one of two categories, prebiotics which help create a habitable environment for these bacteria, and probiotics which supplement and add to the number of beneficial bacteria in the gut.\r\n\r\nprobiotics such as bacillus coagulans are a digestible form of these bacteria;

(total carbohydrates minus fiber.)\r\n\r\nmany sources cite 35 grams of total carbs and 25 grams as absolute daily limits in order to achieve ketosis.\r\n\r\nwith 18 and 13 grams, shakeology can be consumed on a ketogenic diet but is not the best option; keto dieters will need to limit carbohydrates in other areas of their diet.\r\n<h2>shakeology nutrition<\/h2>\r\n<h3>pea<\/h3>\r\npea is a vegan protein used in shakeology. its low cost and complete amino acid profile make it an excellent candidate. some consider it to be second only to whey in terms of overall effectiveness, completeness, and ease of digestion.\r\n<h3>soy<\/h3>\r\nsoy is a source of protein. due to its low cost, high yields from gmo processes, and cultural relevance, it can be almost impossible to find a dietary supplement without soy.\r\n<h3>whey<\/h3>\r\nwhey is a popular protein source derived from milk.\r\n<h3>plant-based<\/h3>\r\nthe remainder of the shakeology ingredients is plant-based.\r\n<h2>shakeology meal plan<\/h2>\r\nthe shakeology meal plan is relatively simple. shakeology directions have you consuming one shake per day in place of a regular meal, and then you eat low-calorie portions of traditional foods for the other meals and snacks.\r\n\r\nyou'll need to load up on low-calorie veggies to provide bulk to your other meals and help keep you feeling full between meals. shakeology also includes diet and fitness advice to help you adjust your lifestyle to support your goals.\r\n<h2>shakeology recipes<\/h2>\r\nthere are over 100 shakeology recipes \u2013 on the official website and some blogs created by beachbody coaches. the packets only come in a handful of flavors but can be used in shakes, puddings, no-bake cookies, and other snacks you can create by combining the shake mix with different ingredients.\r\n\r\nhere are some more popular recipes using shakeology, with links to some more ideas:\r\n\r\n<a class=\"editor-rtflink\" href=\"http:\/\/thefitnessfocus.com\/health-nutrition\/101-shakeology-recipes\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>apple berry<\/strong><\/a><strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li>greenberry shakeology<\/li>\r\n \t<li>1\/2 cup water<\/li>\r\n \t<li>1\/2 natural apple juice<\/li>\r\n \t<li>1\/2 raspberries (fresh or frozen)<\/li>\r\n \t<li>dash of cinnamon<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<a class=\"editor-rtflink\" href=\"http:\/\/amysilvermanfitness.com\/chocolate-shakeology-recipes\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>chocolate mocha mousse<\/strong><\/a>\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li>chocolate shakeology<\/li>\r\n \t<li>2 egg whites, whipped<\/li>\r\n \t<li>\u00bc cup blueberries<\/li>\r\n \t<li>1 tbsp. instant coffee crystals<\/li>\r\n \t<li>\u00bd cup of water<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<strong>almond joy\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong>\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li>1 serving chocolate shakeology<\/li>\r\n \t<li>1 cup light coconut milk<\/li>\r\n \t<li>1 tbsp. all-natural almond butter<\/li>\r\n \t<li>water as needed<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\nfor an added thickness, you should use a blender and ice. the more ice you add, the thicker the shake becomes.\r\n\r\nbecause beachbody shakes are useful with any diet, any milk or milk substitute is helpful.\r\n\r\n<strong>pb &amp;

 that sells many dietary supplements, most of which do not provide complete nutrition. their closest competitor, thrive mix, is a competent shake, but far from complete. at the very least, it is priced appropriately at $59.99 for a 30 day supply.\r\n\r\nthe protein in thrive mix comes from a blend of soy, pea, and whey. this means that the protein is complete, but also is no longer vegan. there are no significant, scientifically verified sources of phytonutrients. probiotics are well-supported, with\r\n<h3>shakeology vs. lactobacillus<\/h3>\r\nantioxidants are supported, but there are no whole food sources of antioxidants in thrive mix through artificial means.\r\n<h3>shakeology vs. arbonne<\/h3>\r\nthere is no proper comparison to be made between shakeology and arbonne. arbonne currently does not sell or support a complete nutrition meal replacement shake.\r\n\r\nthe 2022足球世界杯德国队分组
 currently offers a wide variety of targeted nutrition supplements, but nothing intended for complete nutrition.\r\n\r\nthe closest comparison that one can make is to their protein shake mix feelfit pea protein shake vanilla flavor. priced at $89 for a 30 day supply, it is cheaper than shakeology, but not so considering that it is only a protein shake.\r\n\r\nthe protein is from a vegan blend of pea, rice, and cranberry, a relatively diverse blend of protein sources to arbonne's credit.\r\n\r\nkelp powder and alfalfa leaf are ingredients in unknown quantities, so a small amount of phytonutrient content is available in the protein shake. there is nothing added for probiotic support, nor is there anything added for antioxidant support.\r\n\r\nit is also essential to know that it is made in a facility that processes wheat, eggs, soybeans, and milk. meaning that it not vegan depending on your standards.\r\n<h3>shakeology vs. isagenix<\/h3>\r\nisagenix is another dietary supplement 2022足球世界杯德国队分组
 that focuses on having as many products as possible for as many applications as possible. the 2022足球世界杯德国队分组
 does not offer any single specific complete nutrition meal replacement shake.\r\n\r\nthe closest alternative is the isalean shake, which is marketed as a \"nutritious, balanced meal replacement clinically-tested to promote effective, healthy weight loss and lean muscle building.\"\r\n\r\npriced at $67 for 14 servings makes isagenix competitive in terms of pricing. it is by no means the same product as shakeology, but the cost is appropriate\r\n\r\nthe protein comes from whey, meaning it is an amino acid complete and not vegan. there are no added phytonutrients to the isalean shake.\r\n\r\nprobiotics are supported with added lactobacillus acidophilus and lactase, but nothing else. antioxidants are entirely unsupported.\r\n<h3>shakeology vs. advocare<\/h3>\r\nadvocare is yet another supplement 2022足球世界杯德国队分组
 that does not have an excellent competing product when compared to shakeology.\r\n\r\nlike other supplement companies, advocare offers many dietary supplements and dietary aids, meal shakes, bars, and capsules, all of which support fitness or weight-loss rather than total nutrition.\r\n\r\nthe closest comparison to shakeology is meal replacement shakes priced at $44.95 for a 14 day supply, which is nearly $100 for a 30 day supply. this price becomes $35.96 for customers that sign up for a preferred customer membership, which costs $19.99 annually.\r\n\r\nwhen it comes to natural, whole-food ingredients, these shakes miss the mark entirely.\r\n\r\njust about the only natural thing is the whey protein, which at least guarantees complete amino acids.\r\n\r\nthere is otherwise nothing added in terms of phytonutrients, probiotic support, and antioxidant support.\r\n<h3>shakeology vs. herbalife<\/h3>\r\nherbalife is another large-scale, corporate dietary supplement operation that focuses heavily on diversifying products into every potential niche.\r\n\r\nfortunately, there are many shake options available and targeted to different dietary needs. for this analysis, we will be looking at their \"core offering,\" the formula 1 healthy meal nutritional shake.\r\n\r\nwhat stands out most about the formula one shake is the price. a 30 day supply is priced very competitively at $43.30 suggested retail price.\r\n\r\nit would not be surprising to purchase this from a store for even less, specifically for those who have loyalty cards at stores such as gnc.\r\n\r\nthe rest of the product is lacking. herbalife offers very little in the way of phytonutrients, and absolutely nothing added for probiotic support.\r\n\r\nantioxidant support is vital, featuring blueberry, papaya, and pomegranate powder.\r\n\r\nthe most disappointing part about formula 1 shake is the protein. not only is a protein soy-based, but there are only 9 grams of protein per serving, making it one of the weakest offerings on the market. formula one is a little more than empty liquid calories.\r\n<h3>shakeology vs. idealshape<\/h3>\r\nas the name might suggest, idealshape is not a meal supplement 2022足球世界杯德国队分组
 focused on complete nutrition. instead, they focus almost entirely on weight loss drinks. as such, the idealshake meal replacement shake is not a real competitor for shakeology, nor should it be compared to such.\r\n\r\nthis product isn't entirely lacking. most notably, the idealshake is priced very competitively at $59.99 for 30 servings.\r\n\r\nthis makes idealshape among the most competitive price of meal replacement shakes on the market.\r\n\r\nthe protein comes from whey, making this supplement amino acid complete and non-vegan. there is nothing added to phytonutrients, but there is considerable support for digestion.\r\n\r\nidealshape's proprietary probiotic enzyme blend (bromelain, papain, digeseb, lactase) is relatively complete considering the low price. there is nothing added for antioxidant support.\r\n\r\nidealshape stands out because of the addition of a hunger blocker blend to reduce cravings. this includes isomalto-oligosaccharide and potato protein extract. these additives have a proven prebiotic impact and have some scientific basis in aiding weight loss.

 branched out into other home workout routines and focused on achieving results.\r\n<h3>p90x series<\/h3>\r\np90x started as a 90-day workout series hosted by tony horton. the advertising promised to be the best workout of your life and could bring into the best shape of your life, all in just 90 days, so long as you are dedicated and have the will power to stick with it. the exercises consist mostly of bodyweight exercises as well as some activities done with resistance bands. today p90x is on its 3rd iteration, still hosted by tony horton, with dreya weber as support.\r\n<h3>insanity series<\/h3>\r\ninsanity, hosted by shaun t, is a cardio-heavy workout focused on doing maximum effort done for as long as possible. workouts can be as short as 30 minutes, but beginners often can't make it past 3. persistence is the goal of insanity; if you can go 30 seconds longer each day for two months, you will complete the entire workout.\r\n<h3>t25<\/h3>\r\nt25 is another workout series hosted by shaun t. the focus remains on short bursts of maximum effort exercise called interval training. what makes t25 unique is that the workouts are short, clocking in at just 25 minutes per day.\r\n<h3>80-day obsession<\/h3>\r\n80-day obsession is a workout series marketed to women that promises to work out ab muscles while building a sculpted booty. what makes 80-day obsession unique is that there are no repeated workouts; each of the 80 sessions teaches a new exercise routine.\r\n<h3>2b mindset<\/h3>\r\n2b mindset is beachbody's diet video series. it provides counseling on the kind of mindset needed to eat right and feel good about it. it includes recipes, tips for everyday life, and advice for more unique situations such as social events. the 2b mindset takes dieting and makes it a lifestyle rather than a constant test of will power.\r\n<h2>pros and cons of shakeology<\/h2>\r\n<h3>pros<\/h3>\r\nas a whole, shakeology represents the total dietary aid on the market. the ingredients contained within each shakeology flavor are more comprehensive than several competitor's offerings combined. even when a supplement has everything, there are still downsides to consider. the flavors exceed normal expectations for diet food, and the recipes provided by beachbody help improve taste and variety.\r\n\r\nis shakeology gluten-free? the surprising answer is no, it isn't. this is frustrating because there are no gluten-based ingredients in shakeology; the only reason shakeology is not gluten-free is due to the methods and facilities used to prepare it. besides, it isn't available in stores, which somewhat of an inconvenience. at least we can say \"yes\" if the question becomes \"is shakeology ingredients gluten-free?\"\r\n\r\nfor most people, having extra ingredients does no additional harm, but it does raise the price. in some cases, these other ingredients may be irritating or have side effects. this effectively turns a product that would be ideal into something more expensive and worse.\r\n<h3>cons<\/h3>\r\nthe shakeology price. at $129.99 for a 30 day supply, $259.98 for two shakes per day; shakeology is one of the more expensive meal replacement shakes.\r\n<h2>shakeology refund policy<\/h2>\r\nshakeology takes a \"bottom-of-the-bag guarantee\" approach to refunds. essentially, if you don't notice a difference in how much better your body feels within the first month, or if you're not 100% satisfied for any reason that's fine! all you need to do is return the empty bag within 30 days for a full refund of the purchase price. shipping and handling is not included.\r\n<h2>the bottom line on shakeology<\/h2>\r\nas a whole shakeology is a complete package, including the parts that you might not necessarily want. it represents a complete and total commitment to seeking every advantage and opportunity you can get for yourself. this is reflected in the inflated price point; excellence isn't cheap. shakeology is an ultra-premium product and charges and ultra-premium price.\r\n\r\nwhile shakeology can promote weight loss its primary function is to provide for complete nutrition. there is plenty of ongoing research and dispute for many of the ingredients in shakeology, but none of them have been labeled unsafe by the fda. many of them have scientifically proven benefits.\r\n\r\nbut there are a few concerns about both the product and the subculture surrounding it.\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li>lack of shakeology clinical studies to verify health claims<\/li>\r\n \t<li>shakeology cost is pretty high for a diet shake<\/li>\r\n \t<li>cult-like following of coaches who \u2013 in reality \u2013 are basically just distributors<\/li>\r\n \t<li>the products aren't approved by the\u00a0food and drug administration (fda)<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\noverall, we think you can find diet products that will get the job done at a lower cost and there's no real reason to say that shakeology weight-loss benefits are any better than those associated with alternatives. we want people to succeed at weight loss, which is why we suggest trying out a weight-loss program to get things moving in the right direction faster.\r\n<p class=\"p1\">one of the products we like the most is [promoted_product_link]. there's human coaching, nutritionist support, and personalized meal plans with this doctor-created program. it's also nice that you get access to a clinically-proven method of weight loss.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">the 2022足球世界杯德国队分组
 behind the formula is so certain you'll see results with [promoted_product_name] that they're offering a [promoted_product_offer_link] to dietspotlight readers.<\/p>","post_title":"shakeology review","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"shakeology-review","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-07-17 08:52:01","post_modified_gmt":"2023-07-17 12:52:01","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/shakeologyreview","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"64","filter":"raw"}}],"related_by_brand":false,"related_by_type":false,"parent_2022足球世界杯德国队分组
