What can one tell me about this besides that it is expensive.
I looked on the site and I can't see anywhere that it tells you that the shakes are replacement meals or what. Or do you just do a shake in the morning. So confused. Is it just another product like Body by Vi
Thanks for the input

It is basically just another pyramid scheme/scam. Don't waste your money.0

I can tell you it's the best thing ever . No regrets. I have lost 27 lbs in 3 mos, my husband 47 lbs in 3 months. No exercise either for him. 30 inches and 40 inches. While on the weight loss program 2 replacement meal shakes and healthy snacks during the day and a 400-600 cal meal. Cleanse once a week drinking 4 oz.of cleanse for life drink 4 times a day. Lots of water and snacks provided all day. We are maintaining now with a shake in the morning and healthy eating. I use mfp to track and cleanse once or twice a month. It's not that hard. With any program a change in lifestyle is what it takes. This is our lifestyle.-8

Voodoo and waste of money! Just track your calories and don't use any shake program. I know a couple of people "coaches" that are not any where close to having the knowledge, credentials or experience in guiding people through weight loss.0

What exactly is being "cleansed"?
FWIW, a nurse colleague of mine asked our team's dietician to evaluate the Isagenix program and she said after doing all the calculations that this was a dangerous program. If my memory serves she was especially concerned about the levels of niacin and the risk of toxicity. She said older women prone to hot flashes should definitely avoid it and pretty much everyone else too.
It is a no-brainer that you are going to lose weight on a massive calorie restricted diet. My question to people who go on these things is, "What do you think is going to happen once you start eating again?" Your body has been in extreme starvation mode so your metabolism is going to be completely messed up.
And the weight will pack back on plus more. smh0 -
Another thing I don't get - if you want to do a crazy shake/low cal weight loss plan, why not just drink regular protein shakes and save a TON of money!0

Its a meal replacement shake - like slimfast.
I prefer to eat my calories.0 -

Don't you get tired of drinking your shakes and cleansing all the time. Eating real food for the rest of your life is a much better lifestyle, I would think.0 -
Isagenix and similar products are stupid and unnecessary. Save your money and just eat less.0

What exactly are you cleansing?

Also, when you type into Google "Cleanses are" it finishes it with stupid, dangerous, and bad for you. Nothing positive pops up.

Find what works for you. I was 40lbs over weight, and under the care of a cardiologist. I did lots of reading, spoke to RD's, and talked to my Cardiologist before trying Isagenix. For every person you find that loves it you will find one person who hates it. Google -Isagenix 15 month Skidmore study- you can find great third party info regarding Isagenix. This is the study that made me decide to get my heart healthy with Isagenix.
It has changed my life. My cardiologist is thrilled.

My personal opinion is that it is not a good idea. For me, this is about a change for the rest of my life. I've lost once, and regained plus more. This time, I want to keep it off! It took me 6 months to reach my goal weight, and I am developing the eating habits that I never learned when I was younger. Lean proteins, delicious veggies cooked ways that I truly enjoy, proper portion sizes... none of that would I learn if I was drinking meal replacement shakes.0

Let me put it this way for you.
The reason you and your husband lost weight is because you ate at a calorie deficit. A person can take all the Isagenix they want, but if they don't eat at a calorie deficit they will not lose weight. Likewise, if you eat at a calorie deficit without isagenix, you will lose weight.
Also, there is no reason to cleanse anything at all.
I think you should give the credit to both you and your husband for the hard work you did to lose weight and not to Isagenix.
That said, do you plan on doing Isagenix for the rest of your life?0 -
I tried Isagenix and did lose weight but it was too restrictive for me to stay on for longer than a few months. And I gained it back. I do like the vanilla protein shake and still have some around. I use it when I need to get more protein in my weekly goals. Tastes better than a ton of protein shakes out there.0

I tried something similar to this and honestly it's just too hard to stay on track. But congrats on your success! When I tried something like this there were too many times that I had to eat something when I had no shake or was out with clients. Way too expensive and my life is too unpredictable. I switched to taking Liporidex and I love it. It just helps me stay on track with my diet and has made a huge difference. Check that out and save the stress and your money!0

So you're going to drink the shakes forever? And only eat a meal of 600 calories? FOREVER? If not, it's not a lifestyle change, it's a diet program to lose weight.I can tell you it's the best thing ever . No regrets. I have lost 27 lbs in 3 mos, my husband 47 lbs in 3 months. No exercise either for him. 30 inches and 40 inches. While on the weight loss program 2 replacement meal shakes and healthy snacks during the day and a 400-600 cal meal.

For long term success you need a lifestyle change. Meal replacement shakes are a temporary fix that is not sustainable in the long run.

I completely agree with you. You need to change your lifestyle if you want to lose weight. I do think there are tools such as fat burners that can help you get back on track, but you may not want to take them forever. Just long enough to get your lifestyle in check and be able to make the right choices for yourself.

Huge waste of money.
You can achieve the same goal with real food. It'll taste better and be much cheaper.
Weight loss does NOT have to cost anything extra beyond your day to day living expenses.0 -

My problem is staying on track too. I don't eat too much, but when I do eat it's not always the best food choices. Liporidex looks like a solid product. I like that it's not expensive nor is it loaded with chemicals that would never want to put in my body. Thank you for the recommendation, I am looking forward to trying it to get my butt in shape for summer! Do you buy it on Amazon? That is where I was able to find it.0 -

Hey Healthnut050, I use their Max product and it has truly helped me. I used to hit up a fast food drive thru almost every night after work even though I knew I was going home to cook dinner. It was just a bad habit that took over my life. And since taking this I no longer do that, actually I can't even remember the last time I ate fast food! It has helped me in so many ways.
I get mine on Amazon. A while back I was able to get a buy one get one free, so it was quite the deal. I hope the offer is still there. http://www.amazon.com/Best-Weight-Loss-Supplements-Suppressants/dp/B002GFCCVW/ref=sr_1_1?s=hpc&ie=UTF8&qid=1431038680&sr=1-1-2 -
Don’t waste your money! Save what you would have spent on isagenix and buy yourself something nice! Maybe new workout shoes!
That’s just my opinion! 0 -
I keep seeing people talk about Liporidex, but I am not sure a fat burner is the way to go. What makes it so special? I mean don't get me wrong, congrats on your success with it, I wish I was having success too. Is it still working for you? I have always read that diet pills usually only work in the beginning and then stop working or maybe this is different.0

I use Liporidex and it has helped me quite a bit. I don't knw what makes it special other than it works and it's made up of quality ingredients. I have been taking this now for several months and every so often I do stop taking it for a couple days just to re-boost my system and it works for me.0
