Shakeology is a product of Beachbody, the company behind P90X, Insanity, Les Mills Pump, and more in your own home fitness programs. Marketed as, "The Healthiest Meal Of The Day", Shakeology is a mixture of over 70 fruits, vegetables, and herbs from around the world. Many of the ingredients have even been known as "super foods". That all sounds great, but exactly how do you use it to lose weight?
The key lies in Shakeology's index list rating. The GI is among the most powerful, and under appreciated tools within the fight against obesity and diabetes. Its dimensions are how much a food impacts your blood sugar levels. The larger that a food scores, the greater it spikes your blood sugar levels. This can lead to energy bursts, then crashes, along with many other negative effects. Cravings, hunger pains, increased caloric intake, as well as mood swings can be traced to a high glycemic diet. Foods that score a 55 or lower are considered low glycemic, and therefore are very useful with weight reduction. The majority of the foods that score under a 55 are vegetables, plus a few fruits. Foods which are sugary, or heavily processed score highest on the scale. Shakeology scores a 24, which is extremely low. Remember, the low the better.
So, Shakeology is low glycemic, great! How will which help you lose weight. This is how it really works. With a score as low as 24, it is going to cause hardly any fluctuation in your blood sugar levels. That will lead to less cravings, hunger pains, and overall calorie intake. By either replacing meals a day with Shakeology, or from it like a snack at some stage in your day, you'll feel full more than you'd with unhealthy, high glycemic snacks. You won't just feel full longer, but you may have less cravings during the day. Research indicates that sugary foods are actually addicting. By replacing your sugary snacks with a shake, you are able to help break that addiction.
Along with helping you crave less sugary snacks, and feeling full longer, each shake is only 150 calories. If you're typically eating a 500-1000 calories lunch, and you replace it with a shake, you're drastically cutting your calorie intake, while still getting all of the nutrients that the body needs. Many people will cut their calorie consumption, however it leads to them losing key nutrients. Shakeology is a superb way to reduce your calories, slim down, and more than likely consume even more nutrients than you had been eating a full meal.
