Isagenix

No...not 2.... but 3 of us! My experience has been positive. I started on it Nov. 1st , 2006. My first 3 months I averaged a 10 lb loss per month. After that I maintained. You should be having something around every 1 1/2 hrs. I agree the snacks really help and the almonds don't look like they would make a difference but they do. I look forward to my shakes every day. I put my Ionix supreme in my shake and I also the Isa fruits in it. I always put it in the blender with a litte ice. There will be times when I put a banana or other fruit in it. If I have a big chocolate craving I will do both scoops chocolate. Otherwise I do half and half. The snack suggestions in the program guide are very helpful. I especially like having a baked yam and I will put about 1 tsp of maple syrup on it. YUM!!! I would suggest really trying to get the cleanse days in. That is when you will get the greatest benefit from the program. Initially on my clease days I would get headaches. For me they would normally start at the end of the first day and end between 3 and 4 in the afternoon on the second day. I never got migranes but my headaches were just very annoying. They would leave just as fast as they came and then the day after my cleanse I would feel wonderful. I could see why when I saw what I was eliminating. Please don't be discouraged. Isagenix as well as My Fitness Pal is just a tool for better health.There is a lot more to gain from it. I haven't been sick for 1 1/2 yrs.
P.S. Exercise is very important. Even just the 20 minutes a day. Thats what I started with.

I have to say, I agree with banks. If it is recommended that you use a stool softner it can't be healthy for you. Anyway, I do believe that each person needs to make the choice for their body that they feel is right for them. I always question what are you going to do when you have lost the weight and have to eat?

If you are stuck at a plateau with only 5 lbs to go then crashing (which this "diet" is) isn't going to help you keep the weight off and you will probably find yourself in a cycle of having to do this "diet" on and off forever. An excellent way to actually break through a plateau and keep the weight off is to increase your exercise by 20% or switch up the type and amount of cardio you are doing and after about 10 days you will see the weight start to come off again. It is easy, go from the treadmill to the elliptical or bikes or the evil stairmaster, or if you do 30 minutes of cardio a day you should increase that to 36 mins a day. If you are a distance counter and you are doing say, 4 miles per day you need to do 4.8

The human body is an amazing thing, it adapts very easily to exercise and eating changes. The body will protect itself from harsh conditions (like extreme starvation or cold). As a woman your body is going to get even more protective of the fat so that if you were to get pregnant under extreme conditions you would be able to bring the pregnancy to term etc......

Eventually we all have to learn to eat right and exercise if we want to keep the weight off in a healthy manner and I'm sorry ladies but in my opinion isogenix is just another slimfast or alli pill, it is a temporary bandaid for a much larger wound.

Everyone I have EVER talke dto about it LOVES the program, the only downfall is , a lot of people essentially become salespeople for the rpoduct when they buy it because if you join the isagenix team you get the product cheaper, what I am saying is, although I have always heard great things about it, it is hard to tell if people are selling it (unless of course they give their contact info with their review) or if they are giving an honest review.:ohwell:

I can see cleanse programs/nutritional supplements, etc are taboo...

But, it has worked for my husband & I... yes we did spend alot of money on the products... yes it is a pyramid sales thing (but so is Pampered Chef, Candlelight, etc - all of which I purchase products from)... no, I am not a sales person for any...

We are not nutritionally depleted... it is working for us... we are very excited about it... we are in a much healthier place than we were a couple months ago... Could we have done it by simply watching what we eat & excercising? yes - if we followed through... but purchasing the program motivated us - we weren't about to let the $$ go to waste.

Will we gain our weight back when we stop using the products? Yes - if we go back to our old eating & vegging on the couch habits.

So there... venting done.

Hi I am on the Isagenix Program and just love it!!! I have been on the program for 22 days and I have lost 13 pounds and 20.5 inches! I feel so much better and feel that I am not craving the bad foods. The shakes are really good when you add alittle fruit (Strawberries)! Was just wondering is anyone else is getting the results that I am getting. I am walking everyday and doing floor exercises everyday. :flowerforyou: :drinker:

I have used Isagenix, strictly following the directions for 9 and 30 day cleanses given by them, in two "stints" during the last 8 months. This included daily exercise of 3 miles on the elliptical trainer (some daily exercise is part of Isagenix' directions). From Jan, 2014 until May, 2014, I lost 25 lbs.

Then, I was eating the "Brewer Diet" because I thought I was pregnant, for a month. This Brewer Diet involved eating a lot (!!) of food, including 2 eggs, 100 total grams of protein, 4 cups of milk, a potato(!), a citrus fruit and two other servings of fruit, 2 green salads plus 2 servings of other vegetables, 3 servings of butter, and 5 servings of grain-- EVERY DAY. I weighed 120 lbs at the beginning of the Brewer Diet, right after coming down in weight, with the help of Isagenix' system, from 145 lbs. I thought I would quickly gain all of the weight I'd lost by eating all of this food (daily eggs, meat, potato etc. - no Isagenix products), but ate it all anyway for the good of the baby. In one month, I gained only one pound! I didn't gain the weight I lost while on a Isagenix back at all, even on a diet meant to nourish a pregnant woman and her baby.

Then, I found out I wasn't pregnant. . When I was sure I wasn't having a baby, I used Isagenix again and have lost another 12 lbs.

I think what makes Isagenix so great is that it's a way to reduce your calorie intake while ensuring that you actually are still taking in vital nutrients, so you don't damage your body, or get hungrier because you're missing nutrients. It's hard to get all of the nutrients you really need and eat 1,000 to 1,200 calories. You have to be a nutritional expert. Isagenix is safe and "do-able" for a person like me.

Isagenix has helped me to lose 40 lbs, go from a size 10 to a size 2, reduce my BMI from 25.2 to 18.9, and reduce my body fat percentage from 30% to 20%! I ate a ton of (healthy for a pregnant woman) food for a month and did not gain the weight back.

So, I'd like to add my experience in defense of Isagenix. It has helped me lose weight, apparently in body fat, which I did not gain back, even when eating the Brewer Diet for a month. I feel fantastic! I haven't worn size 2 clothing since I was a young teenager. My resting heart rate at a recent doctor's appointment was only 62 beats per minute. Usually it's in the 80's.

I have never sold Isagenix, and I never will. I have a career that I'm passionate about and 4 beautiful children. But, I have been helped to be much healthier by Isagenix' products and system!! I followed their guidelines and lost weight safely!
