Obesity is a huge problem in America. As the obesity epidemic spreads, the diabetes epidemic also spreads—the two are interrelated. Diabetes is the number one cause of kidney failure, blindness, and amputation, and it increases your chances of dying from a heart attack or stroke as well. The upside is that obesity is curable and treatable. It simply takes more responsibility for your lifestyle and nutrition. That's where Shakeology® comes into play. By supplementing your diet with one healthy meal replacement shake a day, you're fueling your body with low-calorie, healthy nutrition that in turn can help you lose weight.
