  • What’s Up with All the Shakes?

    If you have followed me on social media enough you will know that I enjoy a shake a day to top up my nutrition and how tasty it is. But what confuses people is the why , what, when, macros and all that that goes along with that shake.

    So let’s debunk some myths, tell some truths and shed some light on my daily dose of dense nutrition.

    What’s Up with All the Shakes?

    First of, I do not believe in weight loss shakes. If something is marketed as “weight loss’ please run away, fast. Usually a weight loss shake is intended to be a meal replacement, which means you learn nothing about proper nutrition. What happens when you hit your goal weight? You gain it back because you have not been taught how to eat properly, you just been taught how to replace actual food with a calorie deficient shake. That’s it. So, please put down the weight loss shake.

    Next up, this is not a protein shake. We are not protein deficient. We eat WAY too much protein. Did you know if you have too much protein your body converts it and stores it as fat. So unless you are body building, put down the protein shake. You get enough through normal eating of food, both plant based & animals.

    Whats with all the shakes

    What my shake is, is my daily does of dense nutrition. I can not get all the nutrients my body needs every day in just what I eat. Doing this will put me WAY over my calorie intake for the day, which means weight gain.

    So I take my shake with my lunch or use it as my afternoon snack. It does not replace real food, EVER.

    Now… what’s in my shake? Here is the low down… with over 70+ nutrients, this is the hole filler in my daily eating.

    • Premium Protein and Amino Acids
    • Antioxidants and Super-Fruits
    • Phytonutrients and Super-Greens
    • Adaptogenic Herbs and Botanicals
    • Probiotics, Prebiotics, Fibre, and Digestive Enzymes
    • Vitamins and Minerals

    As a low carb, healthy fat eater this totally fits into my macro count. How could proper nutrition not fit into any macro/calorie counting system?

    Fueling my body with proper nutrition actually keeps me fuller longer, cuts down on crazy out of control cravings and helps me not only lose weight but maintain a healthy lifestyle once my goals are met!

    My husband began having a shake as an afternoon snack every day, and in less then 3 weeks, lost 13 pounds of fat from his body! He has said he is full and doesn’t feel the need to snack anymore. BINGO! This is why proper nutrition is important!

    Whats with all the shakes

    And what is cool, is the shake I drink comes with a 30 day, 100% money back guarantee. YES, you don’t like it you get your money back! And what is awesome is you use this as a base, the recipes to make the most delicious shake are endless, I like to crush ice cubes with diced up spinach and almond milk. Sometimes I add berries, or a spoonful of peanut butter. make cookies, or pudding or just mix with water and go! There is no one way to drink for everyone.

    Now… price. Yes we have to talk money. Most people shop for a shake based on price alone. Please don’t do that. You truly get what you pay for, you pay cheap you get cheap. Now with my shake, I am not buying chips, pop, cookies, donuts and junk as much as I don’t need to eat that stuff, so my shake budget replaced the money I spent on junk in a month. Add up your monthly coffee shop trips, donut sneaks, fast food breakfasts, how many take out pizzas, hamburgers and cake did you eat this month? I bet all that cost 3 times more then a 30 day supply of awesomeness?! So stop telling me you can’t afford proper nutrition. You can. you are buying 30 shakes up front instead of one at a time. Trust me, it’s worth it!

    So… you ready to try? 2 formulas to choose between – whey or vegan and up to 5 different flavors. The only downside is you must live in somewhere in Canada, USA or the UK and be over 18 years to enjoy.

    Do at Home Workouts Really Work?

    do at home workouts really work

    When my knee blew out and running was on the no no list, I turned to a stash of old workout DVDS that I had. However doing the same workout day in and day out got boring fast. So a friend hooked me up with an online catalog of workouts, think netflix but all workouts! I was hesitant. I thought for sure I would get bored, yeah that was a year ago and I am not bored yet.

    My first program I decided to do was only 21 days long. It promised
    Simple Fitness. Simple Eating. Fast Results. In just 21 days . It came with a meal plan, recipes and options. It was amazing and as you can see above I lost 4 inches off my waist in 21 days. I was hooked!!

    In the last year I have gone on to complete 4 different programs. One I have actually completed 3 times as it is just that amazing!!

    The perks to working out from home:

    • no having to wipe down sweaty machines to use
