Shakeology...One of the Building Blocks of your success

      We have decided to write another Shakeology review because it is a product we use daily & strongly believe in. We are very passionate about nutrition and living a healthy lifestyle. Shakeology, by Beachbody, is a key component in our journey to a long, healthy life and we'd like it to be yours as well.
      We use Shakeology everyday as a meal replacement. Most days we use it for breakfast, other days for lunch. Its easy to mix and tastes delicious so it can be used for any meal during the day.
      In our first weeks using it, we lost a total of 9 pounds, collectively. 9 pounds! A close friend lost 8 pounds in her first week and another friend was down 10 pounds! Shakeology has given us more energy, reduced cravings and has made us healthier all around. Before we started our journey Phil's cholesterol was nearly 300, he had high blood pressure and was 1 point away from being Type 2 Diabetic. Our family doctor gave him 6 months to make a change or he would be put on a trifecta of medications, which oddly enough all had one side effect in common...weight gain. With a combination of exercise and Shakeology, Phil's numbers have dramatically changed. His cholesterol is now at 200, his high blood pressure is gone and his blood sugar is now within the normal range. Shakeology and exercise have added years to his life! Jen's father recently had a heart attack and was diagnosed with heart disease stemming from his Type 2 Diabetes. Jen asked him to take a packet of Shakeology with him to his follow up visit to make sure he could take it with all of his medications. His doctor said he could and he's already down 3 pounds! We are very excited to see what all Shakeology can do for him. In addition to his doctor approving it for him, Beachbody also has a "100 Doctors Don't Lie" video, which you can see below. When have you ever known 100 doctors to agree on anything?




      The biggest question or objection we get is about cost... perceived value. We felt the same way before we realized the true value of this amazing product. Before starting Shakeology we would stop in the morning at Dunkin Donuts or Panera bread for coffee and bagels, or grab lunch at a fast food restaurant, spending $8-$10. Replacing a non-nutritional meal with Shakeology was actually costing us less money and was so much better for us. Shakeology costs $3-$4 dollars a day and we KNOW what we're putting into our bodies. Maybe you're saying you aren't someone who eats out. Even if you don't, you're still replacing a meal everyday so thats 30 less meals you will need to buy at the grocery store.

      If you're interested in Shakeology but want to make sure you like the taste before purchasing, we'd be happy to send you a sample. However, to ensure that you're serious, either Phil or Jen must be your coach. If one of them is not, you can click here to have Phil as your coach or here to have Jen as your coach. It costs us approximately $6 to send out a sample. We offer a sample to anyone who is SERIOUS, free of charge. Once you've signed up, send us an email at Building Blocks 4 Life to let us know that you've signed up and would like a sample.
      Shakeology is an outstanding product that has had a dramatic impact on our lives as well as the lives of our family and friends. If you have any questions feel free to contact Phil or Jen Block. Building Blocks 4 Life....Where we're helping to build a better you!
