isagenix?

Isagenix is not a pyramid--those schemes are illegal. It is network marketing. The product is expensive but you are not spending more money in the grocery store--you get to eat what you bought. I started the 30-day program to kick start weight loss as I was "stuck" after losing 20 pounds this year. I lost 10 pounds in the first month and I am on to my second. I have people telling me I never looked better--even my skin looks better. They wanted to know what I was doing so I tell them I work out at the gym and am on the 30-day Isagenix program. They signed up with me. I have tasting parties and invite my friends and they sign up, and they sign up friends. No pressure, just share what we are doing and leave it up to them to make their own decisions. After I reach my goal weight I will be using Isagenix mostly for maintenance, and using the protein powder because it is a really clean and healthy product. For people who gain back the weight, it is not Isagenix's fault or any other food/product--it's the program you have planned for yourself and your own accountability. For me, Isagenix is keeping me on track. I am not hungry, I have lots of energy and I sleep well at night. The company is supportive and answer any questions I have. I only need to prepare 6 meals a week-- healthy, clean meals--so I spend less in the grocery store.That one meal a day can be spread out during the day too, so no need to feel starved. At least in this business, when you become a sponsor, you are just sharing info and giving your friends the chance to try something new that might help them. My friends are grateful and looking good. Nothing wrong with that. And I don't have to stock product or deliver it--everyone orders their product from the same place and can change their monthly order anyway they want. As a sponsor, the company is paying me--Isagenix has the best comp plan in the network sales world. Getting paid to share what I have and to consume what I buy is the extra bonus I get for staying on my program! That's a good thing! I say when you want to lose weight, pick a program and stick to it. Whether it is Isagenix or Weight Watchers or your own plan--you must stick to it if you want to see results. I love that MFP has Isagenix products in their menu data base so I can track what I eat quickly. Thank you MFP!

I use isagenix and it has been very effective for me. I found this thread because I am checking for longer term sustainable alternatives that won't break the bank. I used it in combination with exercise and have lost 27 pounds over 40 days. That is obviously not sustainable but is a great kick start for making long term changes. You have to be very careful and make sure you're not starving yourself while on isagenix or any other nutrition plan. I am sure there are cheaper alternatives that are just as effective and while it worked for me my wife was pretty much over it immediately. If you are depending on shakes alone to lose weight you will be doomed to fail long term regardless of what nutrition program you choose. I liked it because it established an eating plan with structure. We followed it and are now just making better eating decisions and it is very helpful. Using MFP, a shake or two a day and just eating healthier is making a huge difference. We go eat out on occasion and eat what we want, we also walk and jog together and it is fun and good for our relationship. Isagenix is expensive, it can work very well but I only see it or similar programs as a kick start or just one part of the overall nutrition plan. Find something that works for you and make sure you add exercise and you should be able to make slow, healthy long term change

It's overpriced protein powder sold on a pyramid marketing scheme so people can use their friendships to con people into buying it. 'Nuff said.

I questioned a sales person on FB the other day about it. Apparently it cleanses on a "cellular" level. :laugh:
