For one full year prior to starting the reset I drank Shakeology everyday for breakfast. I love this stuff and it loves me. Shakeology keeps me healthy. I have not been sick this year. I had one cold and that is it. At work we had a nasty flu bug and I was not effected. I credit Shakeology for supplying me with the vitamins I needed to stay healthy. The other bonus to my daily meal was bowel movements. Shakeology kept me very regular. If I did not have it one day, I did not have a BM.
The UR has surprised me in the fact that I have not had very many BM's. Week one I only had a couple, so with week two being focused on detox I figured I would have many if not several times a day. I had a BM day one, two, and six. The Beachbody UR experts on the facebook page say this is normal to only experience a BM on day one and two, but that you are supposed to be drinking a lot of water to help the detox work. I have not been to great at that. I range from 40-70 oz while at work. OOPS. Yesterday I was proud of myself and drank 72 oz (resulting in a bathroom visit during my classes). But that is no where near the 1 gallon mark that they recommend. Week two will be interesting with just eating fruits and veggies.
I also have a little issue with dairy that Shakeology could not fix. When I eat dairy I get very gassy. With the UR phasing out dairy and grains, I have had very little gas. That is quite a relief. The problem is that I love dairy. I will try to keep dairy to a minimum after the UR. I try to anyway, but if you put Cougar Gold cheese in front of me I CANNOT resist! It is worth the punishment. :-)
well, one of my favorite virtues is not talking sh*t, so enough of this discussion. lol
