The majority of people who lose weight do it at the expense of their health simply from a lack of education. I hope to provide you that little bit of education to help you along your journey. Use this information I’m sharing with you to do your own research so you can come to your own conclusion. I’m not a nutrition expert. I’m a lay person like most of you are. I just simply pay attention and share when I come across something helpful. A really great health shake, in my opinion, should increase your health and fight disease. I enjoy replacing one meal a day with Shakeology as my Nutrition Shake of choice. I find it gives me more energy, I recover from my workouts more quickly, my blood panels are perfect, helps me maintain a healthy weight, and it’s helped lots of my friends lose weight and reverse lots of diseases to come off of many expensive medications with their doctors approval. In the spirit of Full Disclosure I want you to know that I sell Shakeology as an Independent Representative. I’ve witnessed many shakes destroy peoples health on the promise of weight loss. I don’t believe in bashing other brands and I don’t want you to feel like I’m only attempting to make a sale but I also want you to get Healthy as you achieve your health or fitness goals. Please use this for your own research.
Soy Lecithin: Comes from sludge left after crude soy oil goes through a “degumming” process. It is a waste product containing solvents and pesticides and has a consistency ranging from a gummy fluid to a plastic solid.
Sucralose: Artificial sweetener commonly packaged as “Splenda”. Sucralose is made by chemically altering the structure of sugar molecules by adding chlorine atoms in place of hydroxyl groups. Sucralose is therefore chlorinated sugar; a chlorocarbon. Chlorocarbons are poisonous.
Soy Protein Isolate: Contains chemicals that are associated with the development of Alzheimer’s and cancer. Also contains phytoestrogens which have been shown to cause rapid growth of breast cancer cells.
Mono-diglycerides: Basically another name for hydrogenated oil*.
*Hydrogenated oil is trans fat, and it’s a major risk for heart disease. In Denmark, legislation removing “hydrogenated vegetable oil” from the food chain was introduced in June 2003. Since then, the rate of heart disease among Danes has dropped by a staggering 40 percent.
Phytoestrogens consumed DAILY cause thyroid problems, estrogen imbalances & can stimulate breast cancer cells even in men.
Sucralose is chlorinated hydrocarbon and every bit of that in the world is toxic & carcinogenic. Anyone that has any kind of chemistry background will tell you that.
There is a hidden MSG that kills brain cells.
There is NO FOOD shakes with the above listed ingredients, only chemically created vitamins and minerals. If your shake has these ingredients it’s a chemical, toxic shake. Cigarettes & alcohol come with a warning label. Shakes containing these ingredients should have warning labels too, but, they don’t. So you need to be educated.
If a nutrition shake or weight loss shake is really truly healthy they are going to flaunt their ingredient lists like crazy. When you’re looking at a shake to buy see if you can find the ingredients list. A lot of shakes only offer a nutrition label with their list of vitamins, carbs, proteins, sugars, and fat count. The nutrition label is meaningless without a full disclosure ingredients listing. Where is it? What are they hiding?? If they don’t have it consider that an enormous red flag and look for something else. I’m more than happy to be able to give you a FULL Disclosure of the actual ingredients in the Nutrition Shake that I replace one meal every day with.
