Buyer beware!! My daughter purchased this although she never really did the program(what a surprise/waste of money!!). However, they continued charging her $, and she disputed it. Then they started charging her $1 for some charity, but continued doing so for a year, when she was under the understanding that it was a one time donation. At the one year anniversary of her original purchase, they rebilled her again for the cleanse! Apparently, the contract self renews!! I would stay clear of a company that shady.

Don't do it.

Learn to change your lifestyle. Prepare better meals, get outside, drink water.

Calorie deficit is free. Well, actually, since you'll be saving money on food because you're eating a little less, it's kind of like you're getting paid to lose weight. Pretty cool.

MLM with no scientific evidence that it works. See the following for the one study they had to pay to get published to a free online journal: http://www.sciencebasedmedicine.org/isagenix-study-is-not-convincing/

I haven't read the actual study yet, I just let my kidneys and liver cleanse my body.

My advice? Don't do it. Exercise more, eat MORE. 1200 calories is not enough for most people...it seems counterintuitive but sometimes you need to eat more to weigh less. Calculate your TDEE and use that formula and eat as much as it says to. If you really want to drink the koolaid as they say and try this "cleanse" then go for it, but there are better, cheaper, healthier ways to lose weight. Good luck.

What's a calorie deficit? I already am eating 1200 calories a day, don't drink anything but water eat salads and fruit with little meats or dairy and still have not lost a pound. I cook for a living and am moving constantly especially with a 3 year old. I know I need to get into running again, but I honestly don't have the energy. I'm not using the program for just weight loss, I need energy. I have been researching hours into it before I bought it and it's not just for weight loss. I wish the best for you electlady40!!

Energy is calorie based, not some random shake.

Eating at a deficit means that you are eating less than the amount of calories you would need to maintain your weight.

If you are not losing it's most likely because you are not eating at a deficit. Try measuring your foods by using a food scale so you can know what you are actually eating. Also, try eating more than 1200 that sounds really low. Push yourself for a week to get up 30 minutes earlier and go running, have everything you need ready from the previous evening: the clothes you are going to wear, shoes, etc. Exercise will give you energy, and if you used to run then you must know this is true. The first weeks will be difficult but afterwards it will be easy to get up earlier because you will have the energy. Working out like this is FREE and will give you a lot of energy, while this product most likely doesn't work like you would want it too and it's expensive.

look on the package... does it say "in conjunction with diet and exercise" anywhere on it? Or "results not typical" anywhere. ABORT

advice?

I advise you to not waste your money

I did really well on Isagenix, losing 70 pounds in 3 months!!! The products are great quality, and if you have the money to spare it is your choice. However, the reason I lost weight was because I was in an extreme caloric deficit (1,200 cals a day when maintenance was closer to 4,500), NOT BECAUSE OF THE PRODUCTS!!! Also, the cleanse is unnecessary and it is clearly water weight that you lose, as the moment you eat again you gain most of the weight back. Honestly, the protein is good quality stuff but you can get other great protein for less than half the price. The greens supplements are also good and the Energy supplements are too, but honestly it is your money and do what you want with it. Just be very clear that there is nothing special about any of these products, you won't feel "cleaner" by eating them, and they will not aid in weight loss any faster than a regular healthy diet and caloric deficit. Plus, the MLM thing is so played out... it has ruined a lot of friendships and families

You'd be better off buying a food scale and a good pair of running/exercise shoes.

Detoxes/cleanses have a placebo effect. If you want more energy, properly fuel your body with enough protein, fats and fiber and get plenty if sleep (which I hear is tough with kids, but try).

Also, be patient!
