in Health and Weight Loss
so, I have been using isagenix for a while- two shakes a day about three or four times a week... wondering if anyone has had any experience with long term isagenix and weight loss... i mean i honestly feel like it is making me (keeping me) bloated. just feeling confused and not sure which way to go next....

    Stop throwing away your money and eat real food instead.

    Their shakes are just overpriced meal replacement shakes. Eat food. Track calories. Save money.


    If you really want to drink your meals, buy a decent protein powder or cheaper shakes (like slimfast). Its not the shake that will make you lose weight....its the calorie deficit.

    Isagenix is a multi level marketing low quality product with a high cost. Don't be fooled by mlm companies , they are a joke

    In addition to the fab advice everyone else is giving, if it's making you feel bloated, you may be sensitive to one or more of the ingredients in it. Might cut it out for a couple weeks and see if you feel better. Things that are good for you shouldn't make you feel sick. :)

    Overpriced MLM garbage which doesn't live up to it's advertising hype. The only benefit is to the people who make money ripping you off/selling them to you. The only place you'll lose weight is in your wallet.

    Ask yourself "How is this actually teaching me how to eat correctly when all I drink are shakes?"

    If it's making you bloated more than usual, that right there should tell you it's not good for you (or anyone). A lot of these shakes and supplements are just cheaper ingredients mixed together but sold for a luxury item price. Plus, they really have no impact on long term weight loss. Some people might be successful on them, but you will save SO much money (and your health!) being successful on your own.

    And to be totally fair: I got these for x-mas. I would never actually pay for them. Dove is cheaper and just as good.

    You don't need isagenix crap to lose weight. You just need to eat less than you burn. Don't overcomplicate it. It's so so easy once you figure out how simple it is (compared to the hellish nightmare the world has everyone convinced weight loss should be)

    I agree with everyone else. You can eat real, actual food for way less than the cost of those shakes. I just had a years-long friendship pretty much come to an end because she got sucked into the Isa hype. We couldn't have a single conversation without it revolving around shakes. When it got to point of her trying to tell me what I could/couldn't eat when we would meet up for lunch, I was done. I don't want to spend $50 on powdered greens when I can go get fresh spinach for a fraction of that.

    I'm hoping the OP will at least come back and read all this great advice. Seldom if ever do.

    I amuses me that 'isagenix' can actually be translated as 'I say nothing' coming from my particular dialect of German...

    I know two people who have lost vast amounts of weight doing it but that is not the norm (It was 2 brothers fyi so I think they may have shared the cost and I know now, one of them sells them because he still swears by them). usually, they are just filler and gritty and gross. Food defiantly... especially if they are making you feel gross.

    Now, as a once in a while... O snap, I'm running really late and need to fuel my body till I can get me some real food... I think is fine.

    This is good to hear.

    Hope you get things sorted out shoegirll. :) These products really aren't worth our time, and they have the audacity to charge folks for the privilege... Save that money for food.

    I'm not familiar with this product, but I do keep SlimFast in the house for those times when I'm really busy and don't have time to plan out a meal. It can come in handy for that kind of thing, but otherwise I would rather chew on something, lol.
