    I did lose weight from reducing my daily caloric intake during the initial 30 cleanse. I have kept it off for over a year by sticking with the shakes twice per day and having 4 other healthy meals per day. Also, I started working out 5 times per week.
    The reason I stick with Isagenix is not just because I love the shakes but also the support they offer and the great online community. I compared buying organic food to replace the shakes and other snacks and the cost is no different. My caloric intake now is about 2300 calories. I am lowering my percentage of body fat and building lean muscle.
    I understand Isagenix is not for everyone but I have learned not to discount any program that helps people improve their health.

    I have been using Isagenix for 16 months now. I lost 20+ pounds and have been able to keep it off easily, first time. I did a lot of research on their products and determined the are very high quality.
    I know I could have done the same eating "normal" food but I like the taste of the products and the ease of use. I have two shakes a day and a regular healthy dinner. Also I have healthy snacks between meals.
    I am turning 60 next year and am in the best health I have ever been in.

    No.

    Absolutely not necessary and not advisable to use that long term. Are you just going to keep drinking the shakes until you die? You will likely run out of money by then.

    "I'm 85 and living under the overpass off of 45th Street, but darn it, I feel better than ever! Thanks, Isagenix!"

    If it were a scam I don't think they would still be in business.

    You're pretty eager to defend Isagenix, almost as if your income depended on it. So, are you holding?

    Isagenix is on a great wicket. Coz really... when you get down to it - it works. It does what it says it will. You use it the way they say, and you lose weight.

    BUT the scam is in the fact that you don't NEED it to lose weight. It would be like a company selling you a fancy contraption so you could breathe, when you can just... do it. They charge a fortune and sell you something you can do for free.

    Plus, they compound that by relying on the fact that people will go off their products, regain, remember that they did "so well" on Isagenix and go back to it, rather than realising that they regained because the product isn't designed for everyone to keep the weight off - return business is the BEST business!!

    "Scam" doesn't necessarily mean it doesn't do what it says it will. Scam can also mean it convinces you you need something that you completely don't.

    Well, it's because people buy into their scams that they're in business. There are lots of viable businesses that are scams.

    Or the millions of other "supplement" companies making tons of money from fear mongering. Hell, just look at Dr. Oz and everything he stands for.

    The sentence should be "As long as there are gullible people in the world that want a quick fix, scams like this can survive".

    No haters. Just truly educated on how actually weight loss works. Isagenix WON'T work without a calorie deficit. Don't believe it? Then eat as much as you really want to and do the Isagenix program. I'll bet dollars to donuts, weight loss doesn't happen.

    Not in the business, just use the products.
