Shakeology Scam

shakeology scam
Are you worried about a Shakeology Scam? Have you heard about this nutrition shake? Have you already searched around for Shakeology? The LAST thing you want is to stumble into some Shakeology scam waste of money. Right?

Today I’m sharing the THREE Reasons you should avoid buying this shake. These are the three most common trends that lead people to believing the Shakeology scam.

But first, rest assured this isn’t an ILLEGAL scam. No sir/ma’am! By an illegal scam, I mean the kind of issue where our credit cards are compromised and you lose money. This shake is manufactured by Beachbody, who has been in business since 1998 and has the highest rating from the Better Business Bureau (BBB.org).

Shakeology Scam – Three Reasons to Avoid Purchasing

If you can relate or agree with any of the below reasons, I strongly suggest not buying Shakeology at all. The following three reasons are why most people think there is definitely a Shakeology scam (or at least a HUGE waste of money):

1.They Think Shakeology is a Magical Weight Loss Shake and do NOT adjust their diet/eating habits.

  • Shakeology Scam bagSorry, this is not a magical weight loss shake. Some people think that just by drinking this shake (or any “too good to be true” diet fad), they can still eat garbage. It won’t work that way (but I promise you that I am right there with anyone who wishes it would work that way!). While you don’t have to be a super-clean eater, you must make the right choices to appropriately lose weight.

2. They Think: Well Why Not Just Eat Healthy? I don’t Need Shakeology!

  • The short answer is YES! You should just eat healthy. The reason I drink Shakeology everyday (as you’ll hear about in the video below) is for supplementation. There is no way I’m spending a ton of money on all of those supplement pills, superfoods, etc. I have priced them out before at local vitamin stores, and since Shakeology is only $4/serving, it saves money. So yes, you can just eat healthy, but if you want optimal health (think: premium gas for the car vs. unleaded gas), Shakeology would be a good option.

3. They use this for a Protein Shake Only

  • Shakeology really isn’t just meant for a protein shake supplement. It does have 17 grams of protein, which is good for some people. But if you are working on building up to a higher protein content, get something with 24+g per serving. A good alternative that I like using is Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard Whey Protein. Shakeology isn’t just meant for protein, it is a full nutritional supplement. You will get ingredients that help you digestion, your immune system, and more. If you want just a protein shake, don’t spend money on Shakeology.

If you don’t make the three reasons to avoid above, and are serious about finding a good whole food formula for your supplementation, try Shakeology here for the best price. You’ll also get other free goodies including access to fitness and weight loss support online.

What Happens if you Use Shakeology as Intended to avoid the Scam?

A recent survey and study was completed on people who drink Shakeology daily. Of the (over) 2000 people polled, the results are listed below. It’s obvious to note that results vary, but those who don’t use Shakeology with the three intentions mentioned above usually get best results.

  • 93% feel healthier since drinking Shakeology
  • 72% say that Shakeology has helped them lose weight
  • 86% feel Shakeology has helped them increase their energy
  • 81% feel Shakeology has helped them reduce their cravings for junk food
  • 81% say Shakeology helps keeps them full until the next meal
  • 82% reported improved digestion

Your Decision – Buy Shakeology, or Not?

If you are serious, like me, about your health and well-being, give this a try. I recommend taking advantage of the 30-day “bottom of the bag” guarantee. You have 30 days to try it, and if you don’t like it (or you fall into the three reasons above for whatever reason), send it back! You’ll get a refund (less s&h), even if the bag is empty.

I do recommend saving some money on shipping too. When you are serious about trying Shakeology, ALWAYS order on auto-ship/home direct. This will save you a good amount on shipping costs. Not only that, you will get Shakeology shipped and auto-billed every 30 days. Of course, you can always cancel after the first month (and still save on shipping!)

    Great write-up. This is exactly how I think of Shakeology as well. For me it is just an additional tool to help me keep fit and healthy. I definitely don’t eat as much fruits and veggies as I should and this helps me get the nutrients I would otherwise not be getting. Shakeology has worked for me and I like it so much I just became a coach. Keep the good write ups coming!

    Excellent review.  I have added 21 day portion fix and shakeology to my diet and exercise regimen.  I am a working mom of a 4 year old and have chronic illness that sometimes inhibits my ability to exercise as I would like.  I have gone from being a 3 hour a day gym rat to having to seek out effective low impact routines that I can execute in an hour or less.  Sooo nutrition is extremely important to maintaining a healthy body weight.  Part of my chronic illness is that my body does not process folate properly.  Not to give a biochemistry lesson, but I have been supplementing voraciously (and expensively) to make up for the nutrients, amino acids, etc. that my body does not produce naturally.  Shakeology doesn’t cover everything I need, but it definitely has helped me to reduce the number of supplements I have to take.  (I have researched these changes to my supplementation extensively).  It also gives me a nice chocolate fix after my workout which helps me to not crave ice cream and chocolate which are my guilty pleasures.  I know Shakeology is not a magic bullet, but it helps me to stick with the 21 day portion fix style of eating I have lost almost 10 lbs in three weeks.  Is that weight loss due to Shakeology alone? No.  The weight loss is due to healthy diet and exercise.  However, I’m not sure that I would find it as easy to stick to the diet without my Shakeology “treat” that counts as a red container.

    why is shakeology so expensive

  5. SweetLifeCoach says

    October 30, 2015 at 1:51 pm

    @pooneej based on the ingredients it has in it. One of my friends decided to skip Shakeology and just buy the supplements outright, but it ended costing him more vs just getting it in the shake.

    I am lost about what the scam is supposed to be. Bizarre review

    @Ollie this is based on the feedback I received on the people who call it a “scam”. When we dig into “Well, what about it is a scam”, the common answers are the points listed above, which aren’t necessarily listed as a scam (a scam being something that frauds them out of their money or hacks into their personal or private rights: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fraud).
