Isagenix

Cleanses are pointless and don't do anything to increase fat loss. You don't need to be "detoxified," and even if you did have some sort of heavy metal intoxication, an Isagenix shake wouldn't do squat for it. They're scams designed to get your money. Just stop eating crap and exercise.

THIS!

Plus, nothing jump starts metabolism - the ONLY thing that increases metabolism is increasing lean body mass.

Isagenix WORK's! It is NOT a Scam. You can Learn more here as well as other Products too CANNOT SELL

Isagenix doesn't work. First post and you're trying to sell a product? You cannot sell your products here.

OP, isagenix doesn't work any better than proper eating and exercise. A product that claims to cleanse and detox your body should be thrown away right away.

Isagenix will nutritionally cleanse the body which is different than cleanses that starve the body.

:huh:

I have been using Isagenix for over 7 years. Exercise is important, as is eating well, however Isagenix will nutritionally cleanse the body which is different than cleanses that starve the body. That being said, it is like anything, you have to be consistent. So once you do a program you need to continue with maintenance to keep the body clean. Similar to exercise really. If you work out regularly and then stop, your results from the workout will no longer be there anymore. It is a wonderful program and the company backs it with a 30 day return policy. So, there is no risk and only good health to gain. One thing to be cautious of though is to ensure whoever you purchase it from does a proper health analysis with you, as a 9 day intense program is not suitable for everyone. Best of luck!

Prove it.
That is unsupported nonsense.

You change you life through some smart decision making on eating and some hard work on exercise and activity. Companies that sell stuff to you inferring that it's their product that makes the difference just want your money.
For every "successful" Isagenix story, there are 9 more who failed with it. That's the average stats for any weight loss product.

Wow, snarky bunch here.

I am not selling, nor do I ever intend to sell Isagenix. I will say that at the advice of a *trusted* trainer, I started it 10 days ago. Went with the 30 day system, knowing zero about the products before. When he recommended it, it was frustrating getting through the hype and BIASED reviews online by people selling the product (I hate that), but I decided it was natural stuff and a reasonable way to increase my protein intake, so I am giving it a try.

I have already lost 6 pounds and losing inches. I am not starving myself and have not experienced much except an increase in energy and clarity overall. I am prediabetic and have lots of stomach fat, so maybe it isn't for everyone, but right now, it is affecting me positively.

You really shouldn't hate on something you haven't tried for yourself. You guys are behaving badly towards other people. If you don't want to do it, fine, don't. But don't be rude to other people who are trying to do something positive for themselves.

Have a good night all. Wanted to chime in and cut through the negative nonsense.

No one has been rude. The OP asked for opinions and she got what she asked for. No one is hating on anything either. What some of Will do is ask that people who make claims about a product actually prove what they claim. I asked earlier for someone to name one toxin that this stuff rids the body of. Can you name one? You say you lost 6 pounds in 10 days. I am sure you know the science that it takes a deficit of 3500 calories to lose one pound of fat. 6x3500= 21000. You can't create that large of a deficit in ten days. You lost water. Not to minimize your loss, but it wasn't fat. Cleanses don't detox or create a calorie deficit. If you can prove otherwise with science, I am all ears.

And I am not into the "body detox" hype. But I do like the ingredients as far as these things go and some do have healing properties in themselves. That's not Isagenix magic, that's just whole foods ingredients that we don't always make the time to eat otherwise. So I am not going to preach about cleanses because it's not really my thing but this paired with clean eating really works for me. I make no apologies for being willing to try something (safe) to "see". If this works for me and gets me closer to my goals, then I can look beyond obnoxious MLM marketing hype because the actual product is good. Anyways just my two cents. I respect where everyone is coming from but so far respectfully disagree.

MLM? That explains the religious fervor.

1. There's no such thing as a cleanse. This is merely the industry using your guilt of eating so much crap in your life, that you might buy some more crap to deal with it!! Right. reverse decades of dietary debauchery in a few days! You'll lose weight because you stop eating as much.

2. Isagenix. Complete bs. Why not Vemma? Why not Visalus? Why not BeachBody? Why not Nu skin? They all claim to be the best....Who's lying? But beware of "haters" like me. You might not qualify for the cash payout or BMW!!!

3. All of these products play off of peoples ignorance of Causation vs. Correlation. If a product is present, it's correlated, but not necessarily the cause. If you lost weight or felt better it's because you ate differently.

4. Nothing "jump starts" the metabolism.

5. See 1 and 2.

6. See 3.

(I've already touched slightly on this on my site under Blood Brothers. Those that don't go along with what you've bought into)

Noone was being rude. If anyone was rude it was YOUR TRAINER for not telling you to go to the shop down the road and get so and so for half the price. NOONE needs to try any of this stuff before criticizing it. I've been in this industry for 18 years. I don't claim to know it all, or to even know that much but what I do stress about this long duration is that I've seen a lot of crap come and go! This is nothing new. The same repackaged crap from decades ago, just in a shiny new "box." This is SIMPLE science and these folks are taking advantage of causation vs correlation to make an extra buck off of you.

The only potential thing that changes is when someone increases their protein intake, which may give them a higher thermic effect of food which can allow them to lose extra weight. Other than that, there is no science in ANY over the counter "weight loss " product that helps you lose any considerable amount of weight. Fat is not bad. It's one of only 3 forms of energy our body uses. There is no product that makes your body malfunction enough to throw extra fat away. And just because you bought into it, doesn't mean everyone giving it hell is being rude. You're the one that got suckered and you're calling the truth tellers the rude ones. Don't kill the messenger. And for some of us trainers who don't go for this extra money making routine or some of us other folks in the industry that get tired of hearing this or that super protein,cleanse or super product get tired of hearing this nonsense. Sorry, but those of us passionate about this don't take it lightly for your (our potential clients') sake.

Then the question comes of what will you do when you stop taking it? Or will you take it forever? And what have you learned? What will you do when you can't exercise?

Ahhh...I will soon be discussing this on video. So stick around.
Anyways...

OMG... so arrogant. To each their own. And you don't know me OR my trainer who is also a long time and trusted friend and I truly do not appreciate your condescension or comments. Rude and presumptuous.

Have a great day all! I am seeing my way out of here because you aren't looking for an honest discussion.

And I couldn't be less interested in a video from someone so judgemental and rude. I didn't "get suckered" and am not a naive idiot. Anyways. Sorry guys! Good luck in all your paths.

I wish I knew about the return policy.

Sorry your feelings are getting hurt, but you came into this discussion trying to convince us that this stuff is actually good for you. Almost everyone on MFP has already tried this kind of thing and know that it doesn't work. Most people on here know that health, weight loss and fitness comes from within, not out of a bottle. We have tried it.......it doesn't work. Eat better and get some exercise works practically every time. And if I am honest, I don't think there is much tolerance to snake oil around here. Sorry.


ETA, OP, I am sorry your thread got hijacked. But, if nothing else, maybe you learned that this is not a favorable path on MFP.
