Let’s face it, December is not the time to be losing weight! But watch out – indulging on party food, alcohol, sugary treats and junk food over the holidays can easily add a pound or two to your body weight in no time! That doesn’t sound like much but studies show that those extra pounds are likely to stay with you. And although you may not have the time to workout like you should this month, it is possible to enjoy all the holiday foods you love and still maintain your weight.
Let me introduce you to our secret weapon in the war on holiday weight gain – Shakeology. Shakeology is a nutrient dense, super food meal replacement shake. It’s a protein shake but it’s also a whole lot more. It may look the same as any other drugstore brand protein powder but Shakeology’s formula contains things protein shakes do not like nutrient dense whole foods, enzymes, prebiotics and probiotics, and MSM (a natural compound that helps repair cells and reduce inflammation). Replacing just one meal a day with Shakeology can help you stay on track with your nutrition all year long, but especially during the holiday season. Here are 5 reasons why:
- Shakeology will help reduce cravings. Proteins and fiber help to reduce cravings for junk food and sugary treats and keep you full for up to 3 hours. Drink one before you head out to a holiday party and you won’t feel tempted to nosh on everything in site! And Shakeology taste so good it’s like a treat itself.
- Shakeology is quick and easy. It’s the perfect meal if you’re in a hurry to get to work or if you want to carry something with you when you go out to do some Christmas shopping. It takes about one minute to mix a packet of Shakeo with some water and ice in a blender, that’s it. For some added flavor you can throw in a half of a banana, some natural peanut butter or even some mixed berries. The flavor combinations are endless! If you’re someone who routinely skips breakfast because you don’t have time, this is the perfect solution. Nutritious and delicious!
- Shakeology balances your nutrition. Holiday foods can be loaded with calories, sugar and fat and lacking in vital nutrients. Over indulging can deplete your body of vitamins and minerals it needs to fuel you body during this demanding time of the year. Shakeology contains the maximum amount of whole foods and guarantees that you are fueling your body with the nutrients it needs.
- Shakeology aids in digestion. Sugary treats, high fat foods and alcohol that we consume this time of the year can wreak havoc on your digestive system. Holiday eating can cause a breeding ground for unhealthy bacteria in your gut. Shakeology contains probiotics and prebiotics (prebiotics help your body to make it’s own probiotics) to create an environment for healthy bacteria to thrive. It’s the healthy bacteria that keeps your body digesting food properly and keeps your metabolism from dropping off.
- Shakeology increases energy. And it does that without the use of caffeine or stimulants, and without a sugar high! Nothing processed or artificial. Just good nutrition. It’s amazing how much more energy you will have just by making better food choices. And Shakeology makes it easy to do that. All the nutrients your body needs to thrive can be found in one packet.
