Isagenix

Never heard of it/them before but I googled and see the word "cleanse" on their main page as one of their products, which should be a big giant red flag. Functioning organs "cleanse" and "detox" the body just fine without any additional substances. Beyond that, these primarily liquid-based diet "systems" generate weight loss through creating a calorie deficit, the same way any named diet, system, or generic way of eat promotes weight loss.

Save your money, buy a food scale

tried it and thought it tasted like *kitten* - is really just like overpriced protein shakes. if you want to drink your calories, you can make your own protein shakes for a lot less. or, you know, eat regular food at a deficit to lose weight.

Waste of money, and a good way to lose friends if you get suckered into selling it.

Has anyone tried Isagenix? What were your results? Thoughts? Comments? Suggestions?

So many people on here are anti anything that isn’t bought at a store. I tried store bought protein shakes first and they were horrible and full of unnatural stuff and just nasty. So I tried Shakeology but it wasn’t filling enough for me. Now I use Isagenix. It works for my lifestyle and I have lost over 40 pounds. I am working on the rest now. Don’t post on threads as you will get a bunch of people who are not open minded. Reach out to people individually. You can message me if you have more questions about it. I refuse to argue with people on here about doing what works for you as there is no one size fits all answer to weight loss or we would all be thin.

You may not have intentionally connected the two, but it appears that you are crediting Isagenix for your weight loss. That would be faulty logic.

If you like it and it fits, great. And that may be all you're saying.

There is, however, a "one size fits all" answer to weight loss: a calorie deficit. That's not even debatable.

There are many types of tools to use, provided you have a calorie deficit. That part is science.

It's not a matter of being open-minded. It's a matter of science and proven methods for losing weight safely. There are many, many people on this sight that have lost weight successfully without using any special methods other than eating in a defecit. Isagenix, like any replacement meal will allow you to lose weight as long as the number of calories you take in are less than the amount you burn. If replacement shakes make it easier for you to be in a calorie defecit and you lose weight using them, then that is great. However, they are not a magical weight loss secret. Eating in a calorie deficit is the magical weight loss secret.

Unfortunately, companies like Isagenix thrive on people who are looking for the fast track to weight loss success. You can eat what you like, in the right amounts, and still lose weight without spending tons of money on expensive pills, shakes, essential oils or whatever else is marketed by the diet industry. If they really were the key to weight loss, you would see the creators winning the Nobel Prize for Medicine. You would find doctors prescribing it to their patients.

I prefer to eat my precious calories.

I want to add that "message me privately" is like the signature call of those involved in MLMs. To say those of us wise to the predatory and suspect nature of direct marketed and sold products are averse to what's sold in stores is manipulative.
