SHAKEOLOGY VS. IT WORKS "GREENS" and "PRO FIT"

SHAKEOLOGY VS. IT WORKS GREENS & PRO FIT

I have been getting a lot of questions concerning the difference between IT WORKS GREENS and SHAKEOLOGY.  I am so excited to actually discuss this because I am familiar with both! Before starting my business with BEACHBODY, I actually was an IT WORKS independent distributor.  I have knowledge with both and more importantly, EXPERIENCE with them both.  I have had a good amount of customers using both as well, which was a better indication of what I should represent for my friends and family. 

IT WORKS GREENS:

With 8+ servings of fruits and vegetables and a blend of 38 herbs and nutrient-rich superfoods, Greens provides naturally occurring, bioavailable vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, phytonutrients, and enzymes to give your already well-balanced diet a nutritional boost.

 

-Comes in 2 flavors: orange and berry

-Detoxify, alkalize, and promote pH balance within the body

-Acidity-fighting magnesium and potassium blend

-Includes probiotic support for digestive health

-38 herbs and nutrient-rich superfoods

-8+ servings of fruits and vegetables in every scoop

-Free radical-fighting antioxidants

-Contains SOY protein

WHY IS SOY BAD FOR YOU?! After research, it is found that over 99% of soy in genetically modified and has one of the highest percentages of contamination by pesticides of our foods.  It has also found to affect thyroid and hormone levels. 

*This is NOT a meal replacement- This is simply a drink that does not have any protein, fats, carbohydrates, sugar, or calories.

Price:

33$ for loyal customers (50$ up-front fee with minimum 3 month commitment and 50$ penalty fee if canceled during that time)

40% retail

- To get the free shipping with It works, you must have auto ship for 3 months prior to getting free shipping. 

It WORKS Pro FIT

I have had many comments about comparing only the Greens and Shakeology, so I am adding in Pro FIT which is It WORKS protein drinks.  
The reason I am comparing the two is because with Shakeology, it is NOT a protein drink, nor just a shake with nutrients.... which putting BOTH Greens and Pro fit together still does not add up to Shakeology.  Shakeology is a health shake full of dense nutrition, more protein that is needed for muscle repair, and also has enough calories, fat, and protein to carbohydrate ratio which is how Shakeology keeps you full for longer.  

Pro FIT nutrition facts:
Calories: 100
Protein: 14
Fat: 2
Sugar: 1
Carbs: 5
Although the nutrition facts are important and do tell you this is not enough to replace an entire meal, it also is not the only indicator of what clean eating is.  
It is the nutrients and ingredients that make a difference and 
you will notice again, soy is an ingredient towards the top which means it has a higher amount of that ingredient.  
You will also notice, comparing to Shakeology, in Pro FIT, there is not 70 natural ingredients and super foods which is going to give you a natural boost of energy, help your cravings, and improve your overall health (including heart health).

SHAKEOLOGY

Shakeology is a MEAL REPLACEMENT that is used in place of any meal during your day.  This is NOT a protein shake or a diet shake, but is a meal that gives you your daily dose of dense nutrition.

-Comes in 4 different flavors:

Chocolate

Vanilla

Green berry

Strawberry

VEGAN chocolate (vegan is Gluten free, soy free, and wheat free. The protein is from plant protein Pea and Brown rice protein)

VEGAN strawberry

-GLUTEN FREE

-Protein- Whey Protein ISOLATE which is the purest of proteins that have least amount of lactose (will improve digestion).

Shakeology includes:

-More than 70 super-nutritious ingredients.

-Proteins, Vitamins, and Minerals – to help reduce hunger and food cravings.

-Antioxidants and Phytonutrients – to help detoxify and protect the body against free radical damage.

-Adaptogen Herbs – to help increase energy and combat stress.

-Prebiotics, Probiotics, Fiber, and Digestive Enzymes – to aid digestion and promote regularity.

Plus, Shakeology can help:

• Build and repair muscles

• Promote ideal blood sugar levels

• Support brain function to help promote alert thinking and a positive mood

• Promote healthy skin, hair, and nails

Price: You can get a month supply for 129$/month in home direct (HD), which you can cancel at any time without a penalty. 

If you break it down, it comes out to 4$/day.  I like comparing this to other meals you would have during this meal if you were not using Shakeology.  Please note, this includes your protein, carbs, NATURAL sugar, daily servings of veggies, and daily multi-vitamin.

Can you even get a 6 oz steak for McDonald’s/Starbucks for 4$?

It is time to think smart, and eat smart.. I was very skeptical on using Shakeology because it was 129$ every month.. But I knew within the first month, I was getting great results along with getting all these health benefits.  So what I did was went to the grocery store with my list and looked at all the ingredients I was getting for a meal.. For instance, I had 1 green pepper, 1 cucumber, kalamata olives, feta cheese, spinach, 1 piece of chicken, tomatoes, and a sweet potato..

If you add these up you will come up with 17$ and you will have a salad for 4  days… Even if you take 17 x 7.5 (30 days in a month and getting even the salads alone every 4 days) is 127.50…

*this is not including your sweet potato or chicken every day. Also not including your daily multi-vitamin which ranges between 10-25$ depending on where you get it.

The point of me breaking this down for you just shows what your getting physically with your money, but does not compare to the savings you will doctor visits, medication adjustments (including blood pressure, cholesterol, depression, anti-inflammatory, and I have had customers decrease and get off medication for Crohn’s and Diabetes).

I hope these comparisons helped you see a difference between Shakeology and It works nutrition supplements and their Pro fit protein drink. I am not here to try and promote one over another, but simple you facts so you can hopefully make a determination on what is best for you and your health long term.

How can you relieve your STRESS in a HEALTHY WAY??

So today is the perfect day to question everyone on how you relieve your stress!
There are different ways, some healthy and some not-so-healthy ways... I was bad and went the unhealthy way out, but could have been worse!!
So I come across so many people (as I also was guilty of this at one time) who are huge STRESS EATERS!  Talk about killing those goals you have right?? I know we have stressful moments, but you have to keep in mind you still have goals! As much as we stress each day, if we rely on food to comfort us in our stressful times, how are we ever going to reach our goals?!

When you are feeling the need to munch on food just because you are stressed, or even bored, DRINK WATER!! Realize you are not hungry and you do not need the extra calories!! Soon enough, you train your body into not needing to eat those extra snacks or meals and you can enjoy being healthy and happy with your appearance and health!









One thing I did today was STRESS SHOP! I know some of us have a slight issue with loving clothes and shoes!! I personally love to shop for workout clothes!  Although shopping can be bad, especially if you do it too often, it can mess with your bank account and even family! That is a NO NO!! Do not let your stress get the best of you! Allow yourself to window shop, or give yourself a limit before you go, so you do not binge shop.  For me, I was successful and thankful that I do not live near Macy's or Banana Republic and I can stick to my good ol Target!!






What is the best thing you can do to relieve your stress?!? Of course... EXERCISE!!!
Your body releases endorphins which cause you to by happy! You will gain energy, feel a sense of accomplishment!! What better thing to do when you feel bad is to make yourself feel good!!? The hardest part is getting started.. Once you tell yourself it will be worth it.. it will get you closer to your goals.. the rest will come easier! Do it for that moment that you realized your clothes are fitting lose, you are getting
compliments about your weight loss or the difference in your definition. The more you do to prevent stress, the less stressed you will be! Make yourself happy, confident, successful with your goals! You are the only person that has total control of your situation and the outcome of your situation.  It is up to you to be happy, healthy, and successful..
It is up to you if you are ready to commit to yourself and start reaching high for your achievements!

I am so proud of my challengers who have put so much dedication into themselves to be in a place where they are happy, healthy, and successful!!  These ladies have completed TURBO FIRE (cardio and dancing),  FOCUS T25 (high intense 25 min workouts with cardio and weights), CHALEAN EXTREME (cardio, weights, dancing all in one), LES MILLS PUMP (weight training), and drank SHAKEOLOGY (our health shake full of dense nutrition) to get their amazing results!!
