Me as a Guinea Pig with Thrive


As a Beachbody coach, I have mixed feelings with trying other company's products but I also can't resist the urge to jump at the opportunity to be in a focus group (aka guinea pig) with something new and exciting and this is very new and exciting to me.

From what I have gathered, this is a nutrient and energy packed system designed to give you the fuel and energy you need to be active.

I'm supposed to work my way up to taking two supplement pills, one shake, and one patch a day.  Today I took one pill and...wow.  The instructions said take it on an empty stomach.  I will never be doing that again.  Too much energy in a short amount of time went into my system.  I didn't crash when I finally came down...but I was highly uncomfortable.  Uncomfortable enough to not even try the patch.

I should also note that I'll be using Shakeology for my shake instead of the Thrive shake because it contains soy, which I'm allergic to.  There doesn't appear to be a soy free option, so this is a double experiment for me.  I know Shakeology aids in weight loss, I've been drinking it for almost a year now, so Thrive could, potentially, increase that.

Tomorrow I will be taking a supplement after eating breakfast and I'll be doing 1/4th of a patch.

The reviews said that people react very differently.  Some people can start with the full doses and not really feel any difference, others (like me) are on the opposite side of the spectrum.  I can certainly say, if I ever need an energy boost those little pills will do the trick and then some!!

Wish me luck!  <3

Love and Light everyone!
