It has truly been great for my wife and I for the past four years to Beachbody in our lives. It really has reversed the clock for both of us. Through the years we have learned more and more about our nutrition and the great importance it is to fuel our bodies correctly. I do not know where each of you is in your journey toward better health, but it seems we all want to feel better. We like to go about this as naturally as possible and want to share information on a how we get a large about of what now are called super foods. Do your research.
You may have already heard me rant amount the good fitness being a combination of proper exercise, nutrition and rest. Without each of these the time spent in others can be not as productive. So no matter if you are doing P90X, Insanity or any other exercise regime, without proper nutrition you are honestly doing yourself a disservice. Tammy and I believe Shakeology is the best nutritional product on the market, but there are others. I have a blog post (The Nutrition side of being Fit) that details all the products I have tried.
Even if you are familiar with Shakeology and even already using it here is some great information that explains why we are so happy with it. (contact me for a free sample to try)

Tammy and I do a Shakeology 3-Day Cleanse about once every quarter, and have enjoyed what it did for us. I created a post linking a Steve Edwards Article explaining the Science behind the cleanse.
If you order Shakeology on Home Direct get FREE shipping Shakeology Shaker cup (2nd month), and 2 FREE workouts! There is a 30-Day Money Back guarantee and you can cancel your home direct at any time.
Although there is the money back guarantee, some do not want to pay the expense to a 30-serving size bag or a 24-servings individual pack order. If you contact me I can send you as many individual serving packs as you would like to order. I can also send you some free samples of each flavor to help you decide what you like or just to try it out.
Lastly Shakeology has a YouTube Channel with informative clips. Shakeology Channel

Type 1 & Type 2 Diabetes
Everyone knows someone with Type 1 or Type 2 Diabetes (many are just yet to be diagnosed). Here is a story of someone on the road to a better life using the Project You Type 2 program. Actually back in 2007 when I did my first round of P90X, Tammy used the Kathy Smith Project You before it was repackaged. The Workouts are the same, but the diet and nutrition information was updated to really target and help those with Type 1 & Type 2 diabetes. With this program Beachbody and the American Diabetes Association have formed an alliance or relationship to help achieve their mission: to prevent and cure diabetes and to improve the lives of all people affected by diabetes. Lets get the information out and get people off the medications, and onto a live with energy.
Diabetes has a direct link to Obesity. Do we have a epidemic I think so.

Kathy Smith's New Program is the Healthy Approach to Managing Type 2 Diabetes
Every 21 seconds someone is diagnosed with diabetes. The good news is that Beachbody® has a fun, easy-to-use lifestyle approach that can help manage type 2 diabetes.
If you've been searching for a way to help get you and your family on the path towards a more active and healthy lifestyle and help reduce the risks of getting type 2 diabetes, keep reading.
Kathy Smith's Project:YOU! Type 2™ is a brand-new program from one of the most trusted names in health and fitness. This all-in-one healthy solution emphasizes lifestyle changes, including education on healthy eating coupled with regular physical activity. And it's designed to produce long-term health benefits while helping you lose weight. Did you know that being at your ideal weight can help reduce the risks of getting type 2 diabetes? And if you have type 2, it can make a big difference in managing your blood glucose.
Kathy Smith's Type 2 takes the guesswork out of how to help prevent and control type 2 diabetes by providing an easy-to-follow, step-by-step nutrition plan and exercise program that works for all fitness levels! It allows you to take charge of weight control, blood glucose management, and carbohydrate counting with mouthwatering real food and fun exercise programs perfect for every level of fitness. The Good2Eat! Cookbook will teach you when to eat as well as what to eat. Choose from a preplanned menu, use the Good2Eat! Mix-and-Match Meal Cards to create your own daily menu from a selection of meals and snacks, or delve into some delicious new recipes for entertaining. The exercise program focuses on the three key elements of fitness—cardio, strength training, and flexibility/relaxation—to help you get moving and see results. Take control of your life back! And, most importantly, there's even a combined program guide and daily journal, where you can write down your meals, snacks, and workouts to help you stick with the program and track your progress everywhere you go.
In fact, this amazing program was developed in conjunction with the American Diabetes Association® (ADA), the leading source of trusted information about diabetes. This is a major triumph for Beachbody in the fitness world.
Special guest speaker at the 2008 Coach Summit in Anaheim, CA, Francine Kaufman, M.D., former president of the ADA and director of the Center for Endocrinology, Diabetes, and Metabolism at Children's Hospital in Los Angeles, stated some alarming statistics about type 2 diabetes, such as the fact that she "had to order new scales in order to weigh children over 300 pounds," and how "fat around your waist doesn't just sit there. It's metabolically active, secreting things into your systems that lead to all kinds of disease."
Yes, diabetes is a serious problem in this country. But even small actions taken each day have a cumulative effect, ultimately yielding big rewards. What's more, unlike most medications, the side effects that come with healthy living include a better body, more energy, and a reduced risk of getting many health conditions including type 2 diabetes—and the complications of diabetes, such as cardiovascular, kidney, and eye disease.
Kathy's quick tips for managing type 2 diabetes:
1. Get Active! Kathy Smith's Project:YOU! Type 2 can help you look and feel better, and help manage your glucose levels.
2. Get a Support System: You can't do it alone. Make sure you have a health care team, and surround yourself with encouraging support. Beachbody has an incredible online community of people who help each other stay motivated to succeed.
3. Track Your Progress Daily: Keep writing down your food, workouts, blood glucose readings, and moods in your personal Good2Go! Journal so you know what works for you. WOWY®, Beachbody's online gym, is full of great tools to help keep your workouts on track, too!
4. Make Healthy Food Changes: Check with your health care team before changing your diet. The amount of carbs you eat affects your blood sugar more than anything else you eat, such as proteins or fats. You'll find out that our program is not about "no carbs" but eating "slow carbs." In fact, you will be eating small amounts of carbs throughout the day. That's why the Good2Eat! Cookbook and Mix-and-Match Meal Cards are so great. They have figured it all out for you.
