Looking for NEGATIVE reviews of Isagenix

There seems to be a lot of vitriol on this post about Isagenix. It's a product, okay, plain and simple. I am doing the 30 Day Cleanse. I am on day nine and I feel good, and am losing weight. No product works or is received well by everyone. In fact, if I eat certain veggies, I will throw up. It is what it is, but Isagenix appears to be a good product. I will keep researching it even as I experience it.

I wish I had found this link when I was asked to do Isagenix.  I found that I was an emotional wreck on it -- crying at the drop of a hat.  I was told by the people who signed me up that that was a good sign, that my body was detoxifying itself.  I couldn't stand it any longer and went off after about 2 weeks.  The shakes made me nauseated, and the cleanse and the ionix supreme also made me nauseated.  I was also told that this was "good".  That my body was adjusting to having healthy "food" in it, and it was cleansing itself -- that it was just the toxins leaving my body.  I have fibromyalgia and CFS, and I'm always looking for the "cure" as I've been battling this for years, so I was willing to try this.  

You already know this that it is incredibly expensive.  Cost me $160 for the first month.  We simply can't afford that -- but I was willing to do it if it helped my health.  I didn't notice anything different during the time I used it -- as far as feeling better, because I was nauseated most of it.  I get nauseated a lot anyways, but the powders seemed to make me quite nauseated.  

I have been on Isagenix and this is my third day. I was traveling so didn't do the deep cleanse today as I should have.. i'll do it tomorrow and Friday. i'm dreading it because NONE of the 'snacks' they recommend on the deep cleanse day came with the 9-day pack, even though it was so expensive.

Can't say that i feel all that great on day 3. i feel like I should see some reduction on inches esp on my waistline by now. Didn't do it to lose weight, more to "reset" and detox as I eat a LOT of c**p and needed to kickstart somehow.

the other thing that was a turnoff is the amount of marketing materials that came with the starter pack and the dearth of nutritional materials or advice. clearly they want to perpetuate the ponzi scheme!

Of course there is maintenance, it's called the healthy lifestyle pak, and can be taken, and should be taken forever!!!! You should try this again...

Also, if you go off any regimen and go back to eating the way you used to, all the weight will always come back. That is just a fact. I feel terrible that you and your friends were not guided!! It's a shame! I hope you decide to do again, and do Isa for life! :)

I know a woman personally who had suffrred for years with IBS after takubg 2 oz's of Isagenix Cleanse every day she told me it seemed to have helped immensely. She has stayed on the product for over 8 months and will not be without it. I realize that some products work different with different people, however no Dr could give her anything to help for over 10 years

What were you eating after you stopped the shakes? If you went back to eating fast food, white pasta and other high glycemic foods then no sh*t you gained it back! Isagenix is NOT A FAD DIET or a DIET period! It's a lifestyle that teaches you about the importance of good nutrition! And there are many options for maintenance programs, unfortunetly you probably received bad coaching. There are many many people who have kept the weight off for years and you can guarantee it's because those people continued eating healthy as well as using these products! It's incredibly frustrating to hear negative ignorant comments from people who have no idea what the program is really about!

Here's my experience... After a friend who has been taking it for a year and had told me how much better he felt I decided after feeling tired all the time I would try it. I was excited until I got a huge box filled with ridiculously named products, and felt overwhelmed an depressed at the harsh programme, take this tablet at this time, drink this foul drink at this time. The shakes were nice as we're the choc bars!! I lasted one day as I felt starving all day and couldn't face a life without food! My opinions on isogenix Food is grown in a field not mixed in a lab, rats the problem with our modest diets allegedly yet were turning to a lab to fix it?? Any scheme which charges you $500 Australian for essentially protein shakes, an multi vitamins is terrible. I don't buy the argument "yes but sign up two people in your first month and it will be free". So you want me to market your expensive product for you hey? No thanks. I 100% guarantee that all these people who are making a fortune off isogenix (and I know people who are making thousands of dollars a month through this pyramid scheme) will tire very quickly of it when they've saturated their friends and family ad local market and are no longer getting any financial benefit! The biggest an probably the most important point about this is that it says it should be completed along side a calorie controlled diet, yes so basically this whole diet (and it is a diet) is just a system of meal replacement shakes, multi vitamins and sales referrals. I'm shaking my head that I was even convinced that it was any other!! If it was so good wouldn't everyone recommend it without needing to be rewarded for it!! I am going to go back to eating healthy as I was before, I have a complete sweet and carb addiction and had actually managed to reduce both before I started isogenix which made me feel less tired anyway. I am not an astronaut, I eat normal food!!! Oh and in the interests of balance, I called isogenix, their customer care was fantastic, I'm returning everything opened and unopened for a full refund. Can't argue with that!! Good luck Steph

Have you considered colonics? Colonics can help with several intestinal ailments.

I received a couple of sample packets of the "Isagenix Want More Energy" citrus flavor mix.  They where good...surprising! There was no ingredient list on the packets.  I made the mistake of ordering a bottle of it to use before/during/after a work out at the gym.  Well, the bottle just came and guess what the #1 ingredient is?  It's FRUCTOSE!!  Whick wrecks havoc on your body & blood sugar; then it has honey, (another sugar) & dextrose..ANOTHER SUGAR!!  Then, the B vitamins. I'm so pissed I can't see straight.  This is POISOIN to your body especially if your boderline diabetic it will put you over the edge plus undo all the work you put in at the gym.  The cost wasn't bad, but with nearly $7 postage, & then trying to return it, I might as well throw it away; I would go in the hole returning it.  Warning people: STAY AWAY from it!!  Just put some sugar & B vitamins in a powdered juice mix & you'll save yourself money.

I too have IBS I am very fearful of drinking shakes! I spend enough time in the bathroom!

So it worked really well for you but when you went back go eating the way you did before, you gained weight again? Wow that's a shocker.... It's a lifestyle not a diet. If you go back to what you were doing before you will get back to where you were... Get back on it and change your lifestyle -- that is the maintenance program... If you went to the gym for four months and then stopped... :) Best to you!

Multi Level Marketing. Look it up ;-)

I think it's great that people actually see and feel a difference in taking this product but I'm not convinced. I'm not convinced because this is a PRODUCT made in a COMPANY. It seems ludicrous to me to starve the body just for a few shakes. There is NO WAY this can be healthy for you. Agreed, people are seeing results NOW but my concern is in the long term. I know someone who is currently trying to get me to go to an Isogenix meeting and I refuse to go. Of course they're going to glorify the product....they have to as they rely only on word of mouth.

Look! People need to learn how to eat properly and listen to their bodies instead of relying on chemicals that promise this that and the other.

There is NOTHING better than the foods, vegetables, nutrients mother nature has to offer....NOTHING. Wake up people...it's time to get back to your 'true nature'

 

 

you should go to the presentation; try it yourself (is guaranteed/refundable so no risk); do your own test of it and learn more about why it works as it does. You are so right about true nature -- just is very hard to find on the grocery shelves these days, and most people need a jumpstart to new habits. Kudos to you if you can do that, but until have actually experienced it and tried it personally, is as much conjecture that doesn't work as that it does work. BTW is not starving the body any more than not eating overnight is starving… key is nutrient density per calories consumed. Can lower calories if nutrient density increased (to a point, of course).
Test it!
