Okay - So I'm embarking on my meal replacement shakes experiment. I've used three different shakes in the past, but not consistently. I've decided to go through and have them 6 days a week for breakfast, and one day a week for lunch, for a month. I'm going to report my starting and ending weight on each, as well as my daily meals and workouts. The three shakes I'm going to try are IdealShape, Shakeology, and Advocare. The ONLY one that doesn't boost weightloss alone is Advocare, which is due to the fact that it's part of a larger regimen for a month long detox, but many people who have tried the Advocare detox have continued purchasing and having the meal replacement shake separately due to how useful they are.
Now, I am NOT a nutritionist, so I will do research on each of the products and post an overall nutrition description on each one. My own determinations will be based on the following: 1) Taste (chalky, aftertaste, smooth, creamy, etc) 2) Cost 3) Flavor variations 4) Baking options 5) Portability (do I HAVE to mix things in?) At the end, I will put a chart up with my findings, but you will get a weekly post with my thoughts for the week. I do understand that there are comparison charts out there for similar things, but they are all on the individual retailer websites, which makes it a little bit bias, in my opinion, but that's just me. Yes, I am an independent Beachbody Coach, but I'm not on the Shakeology band wagon and I won't *yet* tell you it's the best shake out there. I'm trying to find out, for myself, if it truly is. If you have any questions, or think I should add to this determination matrix, please let me know!

Can't wait to see what your thoughts are! Love the Advocare and Shakeology ones already but I'm so interesting in seeing the results of your experiment! Good luck :)
