I would like to know if any of you have heard of the supplement “Isagenix”?? I have a friend who’s trying to get me to buy the product and I really would like to know more than what she just tells me. Thanks!! =)
Hi Lisa! Isagenix is a “nutritional cleanse” program. The gist is that you will replace 2 meals with one of their special shakes, bars, or soups and have a third sensible meal.
Although they claim this is not a fad diet, the restriction of real food is not something most of us can keep up for a long time. In my own office, we had several people on this system about a year ago. Some lost a ton of weight and some lost nothing. It all comes down to discipline and fitness in the end. Once they stopped the program (I think 6 months was the longest they could stand), the weight came right back.
One more caveat I have is that you get an “incentive” for referring more people to try the products. I felt that the sales tactic there was a little shady, but that’s just my opinion.
If you have an event to go to or are looking to drop a few pounds to jump-start your motivation, check it out. Otherwise, portion control, weight training, cardio, and stress management are all the 100% guaranteed way to reaching your healthiest fitness goals!
I couldn’t agree more! As a CPT, I’ve had clients go against my advice and begin several different cleanses/detoxes, including Isagenix. None of them resulted in significant weight loss, and to the contrary, this type of caloric restriction can result in eventual weight gain!!
As I’ve mentioned in a previous post:

“…cleanses, colonics and detoxes are pseudo medicine and not recommended by western doctors.”
