OLD DOG in the Fitness Industry. Ive used it all. Ive probably purchased everything on the GNC shelves at one point or another. And I can go on with the other desperate attempts of bad bad items I have used to try and achieve results. I know we become product loyal, thats fine! I use to as well as I didnt know other options as well as did as the bodybuilding community did. I focused on buying all the supplements, protein powders, fat burners, energy shots and more the magazines and BB websites promoted. I was desperate to look like that. I wasnt educated though on what was really in those mass produced products. And additionally, of course those peeps would promote it, they are sponsored reps or affiliates, duh! Did you know that the reason X product is so much cheaper, can sit on the shelves for a loooong time, and stay exactly consistent with their nutritional value? Artificial ingredients, fillers, and fabrication. You may not be in your life journey to care about it right now, and say, I dont care. Its $20 for a 5lb tub! Im buying it! Doesnt that raise a red flag first of all to you? Why so cheap? cheap = cheap ingredients. But I know I know, you are invincible. You wont ever get old, weak, fat, lose flexibility, lose balance, and can always win at everything. I know. It wont happen to you. Age really does bring awareness and wisdom. Thankfully, the younger population is aware of this as we just didnt know back when I was younger. But to now learn of what those products are really made of and why they are cheap, can sit on the shelves, and be mass produced so quickly. Those products are like plastic. Made to hang around. As Im learning about what is best for my body to get the best results, changes, and to keep me young…it really didnt strike me how important these areas really are, and how I know when I put it in my body its working for me, but not setting me up like a time bomb. So yes, Im going to talk about Shakeology. Tune out now if you want. Yes I am a rep for them, but Im also a rep for the Whey protein powder they sell, and I personally dont use it, like it, or recommend it. To each their own. I personally dont like the taste that goes with those whey proteins. I have always been direct and honest. No reason to pull one over on someone, It always bites you in the ass anyway. Did you know that the nutritional values listed on the bags of Shakeology fluctuate depending on the season? Since these ingredients are captured from all across the globe in the most nutrient dense lands- the weather plays a roll on the energy level of that rare nutrient. This is why the calories per serving can fluctuate up to 10 calories per serving, depending on the season. Did you know that each batch is quality tested? Not 1x per week or 1x per month, each batch. Did you know the packaging of these shakes isnt all done by machines for mass faster production? Because the machines can change an ingredient. Did you know that the traditional vanilla protein powder out there really isnt natural and pure even if it says it is? Its a dont ask dont tell situation as when the vanilla bean gets cultivated, harvested, and processed, its only natural if its all done by hand. Not machines. This is why we delayed having a vanilla release. They almost released a vanilla about 3 years ago but then halted when they found this out. Until they found a location in Madagascar that HAND POLLINATES- think of a bee going from flower to flower, well, we have HANDS going from pod to pod! And additionally matures and processes the vanilla bean by hand and sun. Honestly, theres a lot more. The point for this mega long post is that, you may not be ready in your life to put value into what you are putting in your body. You may still look at it as powder vs powder- its no different so Ill just buy the cheap sh*t. Unless you really dive deep into knowing what Superfoods really do for your body, you may not see the value. And thats ok. Your time will come when you cant do what you use to do and everything is so much harder. It all boils back to what you put in your body.
