Here is the company summary from a 90-Day study:

What It Does

In an independent 90-day study, participants replaced one meal a day with Shakeology^® and exercised regularly.

Here’s what they told us:

• “I felt full and didn’t struggle with hunger.”
• “I felt a better sustained energy throughout the day.”
• “I have tons of energy. I feel so healthy!”
• “I replaced all my vitamin supplements. I felt healthy and energized.”
• “I was able to think more clearly and stay focused.”
• “I have more energy, less cravings, more endurance, and feel more youthful.”
• “Shakeology reduced my appetite and increased my energy so that I could accomplish more things throughout the day.”
• “I have tried a lot of protein shakes and meal-replacement-type drinks, and Shakeology is the best tasting of them all. I mix it with a bit of soy milk and ice, and it tastes like an ice cream shake!”

Here’s what the doctor who ran the study observed about the participants:

• They reduced oxidative stress, a risk factor for degenerative diseases, by as much as 90%.
• They lowered their total cholesterol levels by an average of 30% and their “bad” cholesterol levels by an average of 38%.
• They reduced their cardiovascular risk factors by an average of 24%.

How It Works

This patent-pending daily nutritional shake helps your body gently eliminate toxins more efficiently while allowing for better absorption of the essential nutrients you need. A proprietary blend of digestive enzymes and prebiotics helps your body progressively eliminate the toxins that build up over time from eating today’s highly processed foods.

At the same time, whole-food ingredients deliver the essential amino acids, vitamins, and minerals your body needs to curb cravings, allowing your body to shed stored fat while the more than 20 different antioxidants and phytonutrients help reduce free radical damage that can lead to heart disease, heart attacks, high blood pressure, and stroke.

Recently, Jacqueline published two new E-books for sale on her site. They are Pregnancy Fitness Program and Busy Moms Fitness Program. Each E-book sells for $29.99, but three lucky winners will have a chance to win the E-book of their choice. Here is a summary of each E-book in more detail:

Baby Bump Pregnancy Fitness System

A comprehensive strength training program with seven different 10–15 minute routines that are trimester specific. Each routine includes foam rolling, warm up, strength routine focusing on balance/posture/function and core, cool down/pelvic floor and static stretches.

My review: This is certainly something that I wish I had during my two pregnancies. I did some prenatal yoga, but other than that, I felt kind of on my own in terms of pregnancy exercises. Numerous studies show how important it is to keep your body fit and healthy during pregnancy (unless you have limitations according to your doctor). Jacqueline has provided a comprehensive workout for expectant mothers. All of her exercises include easy to follow instructions and photos to help ensure correct form and posture.

Baby Bump Busy Mom Fitness Program

The Baby Bump Busy Mom program was built to focus initially on post-rehabilitative postural exercises, then regaining strength to care for your children, and naturally progressing to fat loss.

My Review: Jacqueline takes moms through those first post-pregnancy weeks to really focusing on getting that pre-pregnancy body back. The six-week program provides slow and steady pacing that is essential to proper progression and injury prevention. Similar to the Pregnancy workout, excellent step-by-step instructions and photos are provided. This is a great workout for travel as well. It’s super easy to just print a copy for your purse or suitcase and your workouts will always be on hand.

E-Book Example

In addition to these great E-books, Jacqueline has written some excellent mini-guides that are free when you sign up for her newsletter at Babybumpfitness.com

I highly recommend the Baby Bump E-books as well as Jacquiline’s web site and health and fitness advice. I subscribe to her newsletter myself and stop by for tips often. Even though my children are now 5 and 7, most of her tips are still relevant and helpful.

The KURU Draft is one such shoe. I LOVE IT! There are very few shoes that feel comfortable when you first put them on. There is often a “break-in” period. These shoes felt like they molded to my feet in about 2 minutes. I wore them for the rest of the day all around the house. I love them so much, I may need a pair for indoor slippers and a pair for outdoors.

In addition to being comfortable, it is quite stylish. My shoe is like the one pictured above. It’s black with pink trim. It also comes in blue, a green/brown combo and orange. It is a slip on style with a small heal backing so your foot does not slip out.

This same shoe was featured in SKI Magazine. The editor had a great review saying, “KURU, like it’s Finnish namesake-a city so environmentally pure you can drink straight from its rivers and lakes-Utah-based Kuru believes in clean, naturally inspired living. Its line of soft-shell footwear, including the Draft clog with anatomically correct midsole, is designed with that-and apres ski comfort-in mind.”

Whether or not you ski, this shoe is great to envelope your feet in comfort from grocery shopping to running errands to simply walking around the house. Heck, maybe I’ll need to take up skiing just to explore the “apres ski” effect.

Here is the company summary of the Draft shoe:
The Draft is a supreme comfort shoe that fits like a slipper and features water shedding soft shell uppers. The perfect shoe for aprés-sport, running to the coffee shop, a quick errand, or simply lounging around the campfire. Take off your trail shoes and enjoy the comfort of the Draft shoe. (I could not agree more!)

Retailing for $89.95, the Kuru Draft Features:

* Nylon Textile Soft Shell Uppers conform to your foot like a sock
* Leather toe and heel for durability
* Super Comfy Anatomical KuruSole™ Midsole
* Antimicrobial treated microsuede shoe footbed
* Water and Stain resistant BombrSpec™ Soft Shell uppers
* Collapsible uppers, perfect for stashing in your luggage
* Breathable & moisture wicking shoe lining

Check out Kurufootwear.com for more information about the Draft shoe and all of there other great shoes for men and women. I also appreciate that Kuru is a very socially responsible company. They have a page dedicated to donating to charities chosen by customers. Check them out and let me know what you think. Hopefully, I’ll even be able to offer a giveaway soon. Keep checking back for details.
