It's all about cleansing and ridding your body of toxins.
Major WOO.0 -
I think it's woo personally. Of course if you cut your calories enough, you will lose weight. But that's not due to any special "properties" of their products. You could get the same results with less hunger and less expense on your own.0

I have two soon to be sister in laws who SWEAR by (and one of them sells in the pyramid scheme) Isagenix and the whole platform. Once has claimed MIRACLES in her life and they really want me to 'get on board' and "believe in the miracles".
I've done SOME research but it's hard to find anything real since it's so heavily marketed by the pyramid scheme people...
So, what's the consensus Woo or Science?
Woo.
The reason any person loses weight on any diet aid, including Isagenix, is because they are eating at a calorie deficit.
If they are not eating at a calorie deficit and taking Isagenix, then they would not lose weight.
Therefore, it's best to tell your sister in laws to stop bugging you.
Eat at a calorie deficit and you will lose weight.0 -
I say woo, sorry.0

Multi-level marketing. In other words, a scam. With woo on top of it.0

Anytime you restrict your calories, you're going to lose weight. That's just basic science. You don't need a magic drink for that. Just eat lean proteins, lots of vegetables, and exercise. I just checked their prices, though. Ten oatmeal raisin bars for $14? Fourteen vanilla shakes for $66? I sense a scam to separate desperate, overweight people who don't want to diet from their money, Calling it 'woo' is being kind.0

Lol, Isagenix is not a pyramid scheme. It's called network marketing. When I lived in Thailand I met a few guys in their thirties who made their fortune from network marketing.
Now, does it work? IMO, a diet rich in vegetables, fruits and lean meats is a better choice. Want to get rid of toxins? Go on a juice cleanse instead. Most of this stuff hasn't even been tested yet. We don't know the long-term effects yet, or if it even works or not.0 -

What toxins does a juice cleanse eliminate that your kidneys and liver do not do so already?0 -

A juice cleanse does nothing more to eliminate toxins than Isagenix, sorry. You have kidneys and a liver for that.0 -

Um...
Network marketing? I take it you don't know what that actually means.
Juice cleanse? F No.0 -

Network marketing and MLM/Pyramid are used interchangeably. They mean the same thing....and a juice cleanse does absolutely nothing.0 -
WOO. Tons of freakin' WOO.0

It's a milkeshake of woo, with a side of woo fries with woo dip.0

There is no reason to get rid of toxins because your body gets rid of any toxins all by itself. However, I agree that a balanced diet is the better choice for weight loss and overall health.0 -
Science or woo? That's a potentially condescending question. It's only woo if it never works for anyone. We're all different and what doesn't work for one person might work for the next. Unless it's dangerous (also a bit subjective), then people will just have to try it to find out.
