Yes another fortune from a fortune cookie....I'm a dork and proud to be one :D (I don't think hubby and I would be a good match if I wasn't one :P)
So Beachbody just created this amazing thing called Shakeology (check it out shakeology.com....looks awesome). Shakeology is a meal (or a snack) in a glass. With 70 Healthy Ingredients--1 glass :). Welcome to your healthiest meal of the day.
In order to get all the things that the shake provides you have to have a salad with the following:
10 c cauliflower
4 c broccoli
4 c mushrooms
4 c radishes
4 c lettuce
1 c peas
7 carrots
3 whole raw onions.
It has proteins/amino acids, antioxidents, phyto-nutrients, digestive enzymes, probiotics, and 'adaptogens' (I'm unsure of this term....it's apparently an up and coming term in the nutrition industry....)
The counts:
140 calories
1 g fat
15-17 g protein
17-19 g carbs.
It can either be a meal replacement or a healthy snack.
They are not recommending eliminating all vitamins when you drink this wonder, but you won't need to do, say, a multi-vitamin as well as the additional calcium supplement (which all women, without this, should be taking)
The history of this stems from the fact that Carl Daikler's wife (a personal trainer and nutritionist) hates the fact that Carl hates vegetables and 'eats like a second grader'.
Shakeology certainly doesn't cover bases to negate the effects of a crappy diet, but it will supplement a clean diet beautifully.
What it does for us is help prevent the oxidative damage of free radicals (unstable oxygen molecules in the body that will bind to anything--this binding to anything is the oxidation). This prevention leads to the slowing of the aging process (arthritis, heart disease, cholesterol, high blood pressure, fun stuff). The digestive enzymes are protected from the processing of the vegetables so that it doesn't add the stress to the pancreas that cooked foods do.
And it tastes like chocolate (or green berry)
Seriously?
So if you're looking to tidy up your food a bit or jumpstart some serious weightloss efforts, you might want to look into trying Shakeology. This in addition to a regular workout regimen will have you in a new body before you ever drempt possible. It is possible. With great nutrition and some effort, it is absolutely possible.
Give it a try. Try it with a scoop of PB (in the chocolate) or some oj (with the green berry) for some variety. Try it and take the guess work and some of the rocket science out of dieting.
Below is alot of what you'll be getting in ONE SIMPLE GLASS.
That's a little bit about what you are consuming. This is a little bit of what you can get :):
