I drink an Isagenix shake every morning. It contains all the vitamins and minerals I need, clean protein, healthy fats, fiber. Lots of energy, low cal, keeps things moving, burns fat...

I didn't read all of the comments so I apologize if I'm repeating something. If you look around you in a crowd of people, you will see so many different body types. Tall, short, slim, heavyset, 'skin-and-bones', athletic, pear-shaped, etc. Every BODY is different. That said, just because a person can eat whatever they…

I don't think it's unreasonable to lose more than 2-3 pounds a week. I have coached people to even much greater losses - and their bodies are thriving. Are you eating when you are hungry or are your feeding yourself something like every 2 hours so you can fit all of those calories in? Are your calories nutrient dense or…

I agree with what @darrensurrey says about maintenance or doing something new. How do you feel in your skin? You've lost weight, which is amazing, but do you feel like you could tone your muscles more? Increase lean muscle? If you love running I love the idea of training for a marathon. A 10K or half marathon are great…

I love what sofaking says here. Measurements are such a great way of keeping track of your progress. And besides, a scale just measures the numerical value of your gravitational pull. You are worth more than the numbers on a scale. <3

Protein will definitely help you get to your goal faster. I drink high grade protein shakes that are meal replacements, in addition to my healthy meals. Undenatured whey protein concentrate is the best on the market, with the highest bioavailability. Eggs are next and don't be afraid to eat the whole egg. There are great…

In addition, bio-engineering companies are mixing the DNA of plants with desireable traits from ANIMALS. Not to mention all of the pesticides that are being grown into the plant, not just sprayed on. I really like this film: http://www.foodmatters.tv/ It explains it very well. You can watch the first 40 minutes for free,…

I use the isagenix shakes: IsaLean and IsaLean Pro - it's undenatured whey protein so it still has all of its nutritional properties. The cattle are grass fed which makes a world of difference in quality. Combine that with the nutritional cleanse and I swear, fat melts away and muscles define. Chocolate is my favourite…

Why would she add artificial sweeteners? That's just going to make her sick (over time). I agree with adding spices and herbs. Sea salt is ok to have in moderation as our bodies do need a certain amount of sodium.

Fructose is in pretty much every fruit and vegetable you eat, so you better make sure you are consuming it. :) The problem comes down to HFCS which is a perversion of fructose. I consume supplements sweetened with fructose because a) it's better than artificial sweeteners and b) it is sourced from apples and beets. Our…

If by pre-blended shakes you mean ones that already have the liquid added, then yes, they are generally full of crap, specifically preservatives. The shake I drink comes as a powder, all the minerals, vitamins and macro-nutrients all mixed together. It takes 1 minute to scoop it into the blender with water and ice. 30…
