When I first considered trying Shakeology, I was concerned about the price. How could I justify spending $130 per month on this shake? I am on a tight budget and I tend to over analyze; but in this economy, I have too. I took a look at what I was spending during the week for lunches.
Monday - Zaxby’s - $8.76
Tuesday – Subway - $7.63
Wednesday – Bilo Deli - $14.22
Thursday – Hibachi - $11.41
Friday – Chick Fil A - $7.73
In a total of 1 work week I spent $49.75 (This didn’t include what I was spending on coffee and vending machines.)
Multiply this by 4 weeks and I was spending $199 per month on eating out. Then I looked up the nutritional value of what I was eating, and realized why I wasn’t losing any weight. It is hard to maintain a healthy diet when you are eating out. Most of these foods are processed for convenience and full of sodium.
I was also taking diet pills every month, trying to curb my appetite. So I saved another $20 a month that I had been wasting, because they were not working. I had spent as much as $60 per bottle trying to find one that worked. If I did lose a few pounds, I would gain them right back.
I decided to try Shakeology for a month, and see if I was able to cut out the fast food. If so I wouldn’t be spending any more than normal, in fact, if I stuck with it, I would be saving money.
I have been drinking Shakelogy for 4 months now, and have not eaten out during the work week, nor do I want too. I make my shake for lunch, and it holds me over. I eat breakfast at home; have a healthy snack for mid-morning Shakeology for lunch and another healthy snack in the afternoon. I have lost weight, but the best part is I do not crave sweets, and I have been able to truly commit to eating healthy. My husband saw my results and now, he too has Shakeology for lunch. Together we were spending over $400 a month just in eating out!
Normally with the change in the season’s I get a cold, this year I have not been sick. My digestive system works like clockwork. During certain times of the month, I would crave chocolate, but not now. I have increased energy, sleep like a log at night and wake up just feeling good. I have also noticed my hair & nails are growing.
So for me, I have not only saved money with Shakeology, I am encouraged about the way I feel and the benefits I am seeing as far as my health are concerned.
