For those of you who felt sick and tired, consider the fact that detoxing and cleansing can do that to your body temporarily. I cleanse and detox a couple times a year with wheatgrass and raw food, so I know. The first detox is always the worst. I am getting ready to try isogenix just to see what happens. The people I know who have used it have had great results and lots of balanced energy. so we will see.....

I am on day 4. I have not "cheated" at all. Day 1 was fine. Day 2 I became tired and listless. Day 3 my headache started. Today on day 4 I haven't been able to move because of the debilitating headache. I am determined to finish and chronicle everything for 30 days. Mind you I'm a healthy 45 year old woman with 20 lbs to lose.
So far, in my opinion, starvation and water, which is what it is, has made me lose some weight. At what cost? I can't move. I can't see ( the headache is that bad) I'm typing this and then going to lay back down.

As a qualified personal trainer, hypnotherapist and massage therapist, I would not suggest taking any form of weight management product without combining exercise, self-reflection and personal development.
Dieting is only a small part of the solution. Without identifying the desire to eat or over eat, any plan based solely on eating will eventually fail.

Too bad the person who sold to you didn't care... you were cold because your body was cleansing toxins... you felt tired and terrible because your body is full of toxins and is cleaning itself up... it can take a week to several weeks to clean up your body....
SYMPTOMS TO EXPECT WHEN YOU IMPROVE YOUR DIET Excerpted From An Article By Dr. Stanley S. Bass, ND, D.C., PhD Perhaps the greatest misunderstanding in the field of nutrition is the failure to understand and interpret the symptoms and changes which follow the beginning of a better nutritional program. A remarkable thing happens when a person improves the quality of the food he consumes. When the food you ingest is of a higher quality than the tissues from which the body is made, the body discards the lower quality tissues, to make room for the higher quality materials to make healthier tissue. During this process of regeneration, lasting about 10 days to several weeks, the emphasis is on breaking down and eliminating lower quality tissue. The vibrant energy often found in the external parts of the body, the muscles and skin, moves to vital internal organs and starts reconstruction. This movement of energy produces a feeling of less energy in the muscles, which the mind interprets as weakness. At this time, more rest and sleep is often needed, and it's imperative to avoid stimulants of any kind which will abort and defeat the regenerative process. Remember, the body isn't getting weaker, it's simply using it's energies in more important internal work rather than external work involving muscle movements. With patience and diligence, a person will soon feel more energy than before. By ingesting higher quality foods, the body begins a process called "retracing". The initial focus is on eliminating waste and toxins deposited in the tissues. However, the process creates symptoms that are often misinterpreted. For example, a person who stops consuming coffee or chocolate may experience headaches and a general letdown. The body begins discarding toxins (caffeine or theobromin) by removing them from the tissues and transporting them through the bloodstream. However, before toxins are passed, through elimination, they register in our consciousness as pain, in other words, a headache. These same toxins also stimulate the heart to beat more rapidly, thus producing the feeling of exhilaration. The letdown is due to the slower action of the heart which produces a depressed mind state. The symptoms experienced during "retracing" are part of the healing process! They are not deficiencies. Do not treat them with stimulants or drugs. These symptoms are constructive, even though unpleasant at the moment. Don't try to cure the cure. The symptoms will vary according to the materials being discarded, the condition of the organs involved in the elimination, and the amount of available energy. They can include: headaches, fever/chills, colds, skin eruptions, constipation/diarrhea, frequent urination, fatigue/sluggishness, nervousness, irritability, depression. The symptoms will be milder and pass more quickly if one gets more rest and sleep. Understand that the body becomes healthier by eliminating wastes and toxins. Had they remained trapped in the tissues, eventually they would have brought illness and disease, thus causing greater pain and suffering. "The body is becoming healthier by eliminating toxins" Finally, don't expect to improve your diet and feel better and better every day, until you reach perfection. The body is cyclical in nature. Health returns in a series of gradually diminishing cycles. For example, you may begin eating better and start feeling better. After some time, you experience a symptom such as nausea or diarrhea. After a day, you feel even better than before and all goes well for a while. Then you suddenly develop a cold, the chills and lose your appetite. Without the use of drugs, you recover from these symptoms and suddenly you feel great. This well-being continues for a time until you break out in a rash. The rash flares up, but finally disappears, and suddenly you feel better than you've felt in years. As the body becomes pure, each reaction becomes milder and shorter in duration, followed by longer and longer periods of feeling better than ever before, until finally you reach a level plateau...vibrant health.

I'm currently on the 30 day program from isagenix, the shakes don't taste like sawdust, they taste great compared to most protein shakes. After 22 days i've lost 14 lbs of the 30 i need to lose to be at my optimum weight. I don't cheat, but i have slipped twice maybe 3 times on a single meal due to social situations, other than that i followed the program to the exact letter. I sleep better and deeper, snore less, have less problems with my sleep apnea, i feel great in general, and on cleanse days i feel even better with boundless energy, working out may not be a good idea on cleanse days though. These people that are slamming the program i agree have no idea what they are doing or not following the program. First couple of weeks are a little difficult as it takes some time for your body to adapt to low cal diet, but now i am rarely hungry until late evening, and i just drink some water to combat that or go to bed, and when i wake up the hunger is gone. One of the key things you have to do on this diet for it to work is consume lots of water, half your body weight in oz's. If you weigh 200 pounds you should be drinking 100 oz's of water on top of your shakes. Following the guide for the one meal using actual food has taught me to look at labels, make better choices, and develop filling and still tasty meals that are correctly portioned. The key here is protein people, it leaves you feeling fuller longer. you plateau once in awhile, but a cleanse day seems to break that plateau. it is proven medically that fasting / cleanse days are very healthy for your body as 90% of your bodies defence systems are concentrating on your digestive track most of the time. On a cleanse/fasting day, that frees up those natural defences to detoxify your bodies cells, and major organs, makes repairs to these places, and all at the same time shift your body into fat burning mode because it needs an energy source to function. Doing a 2 day cleanse will remove 80 % of toxins compared to 20% on a single day cleanse, but you should not cleanse/more than 4 days in a month. The isagneix products i have found to be highly effective, and high quality, and there are added benefits from some of the products such as ionix supreme, which i immediately noticed made me feel more relaxed and less stressed. i have never felt like a zombie, looked tired, or been grossed out by any of the products. I use the product and love it, and truley believe in it because i am living proof. I know other people using the product that saw amazing results and it seems the more weight you have to lose, the more effective the program is, this is likely due to the low cal intake and the fact that you need 12 times your body weight in pounds to equal what your caloric intake should be just to maintain your weight. The 30 day program runs you around 1300-1400 cals a day on shake days, and for me that is about a 1000 calorie deficit. it takes 3000 calorie deficit to lose a pound of fat, so do the math, it has to work.

This stuff does work. I have been following their groups on facebook for a long time. I've been using it to and have lost a ton of weight. It all depends on how you use it. People may feel a little sick the first couple times. That comes with any weight loss program. You are introducing something new to your body and it goes into a kind of shock. But you have to train your body. Also this program may not be for every one. But don't bash the program because of one bad review from one person. Can't judge a book by its cover. So again, Isagenix WORKS!!!! It's not a fluke. It's the real thing. Biggest Loser has even sponsored it

Absolutely it works!! I am a 39 year old female and I went from 160 to 129 in less than 2 months. With minimal exercise. I ran on my treadmill about 3 times a week for a mile. I didn't measure my inches like I wish I would have, but I went from a size 9/10 to a 4/6. I've done every diet under the sun, this however is my favorite. I love it so much because I had so much energy, and I felt great! The only down side is that it's expensive. About $280 a month. Hope this helps.

I've been on it for 7 days. I have lost about 9 lbs already. It is very difficult at first, but if you stick with it, after 4 days it becomes pretty easy. As far as coffee, it is ok to wean off of it. I drank a cup of black coffee the first day, then 3/4 of a cup the next couple of days and I have 1/2 cup now. Headaches were not a problem that way. I think the shakes are pretty good. What I like about it is that it is very specific. Other diets in the past have given me wiggle room to cheat. I am following this diet to the "T" and really am enjoying the results. I'm doing the deep cleanse (2 days in a row for 2 consecutive weeks) and it is tough but honestly my energy is a little low but I also planned to lay low on these days. 2 of my friends have done it and each have lost about 30 lbs and have not gained it back. The problem with the cost is that is upfront. I looked at my actual spend each month and I am spending a bit more but overall I am saving $ on all the c**p I used to eat. I also travel for a living and this is way easier to manage than other diets.
The one negative is that it is MLM focused. My first box had booklets and videos mostly about how to make it a business. I am not interested in MLM and would have enjoyed something a bit more straightforward. I am considering alternatives on subsequent months (310 shakes are lot less expensive and maybe just stick to the supplements from Isagenix). Anybody try 310?

The appeal of losing weight quickly is hard to resist, but don't go after those so called magical pills which assure you weight loss within days. Follow a regular exercise routine or join any weight loss programs to reach your goal.

I totally agree that Isagenix works... it is an undenatured food--the best quality you can get. No pesticides, herbicides, hormones or antibiotics in any of it... (think of the fields that grow our beautiful, bug-free food).. You can't wash off the poisons that go into our food... it is in the roots that the plants grow from! Now seeds are infused with pesticides etc.
Cleansing is a powerful tool to help get rid of the toxins in everything we eat and the air we breathe. We have to live in this world and I choose to enjoy life... I eat my favourite foods, drink my favourite wines and I use Isagenix the rest of the time... Expensive--it is NOT! It is about $3.00 to replace an organic, nutritious, completely balanced meal!!! You can not get a greasy, delicious, nutrient free, chemical laden-- flame-broiled hamburger for that kind of money... and then the antacids you need after--are even more expensive... Isagenix is a real deal....and you get and stay healthy!!
