@ fieryone
Excellent review! You said it as so many others see it. "SALES PITCHES BY THE PEOPLE WHO SELL IT"! The product has been on the market for approximately 3 yrs. Which means they have had at least that long to work on their sales & marketing pitch to land clients with the sheer strength of their winning sales pitch and sharpened writing skills. They sure are doing some serious pitching. After awhile it becomes second nature. They have developed a basic pitch and they are sticking with it, whether it is honest details or not. Thanks for saying what so many of us see and feel.

I love how so many of these reviews are sales pitches by the people who sell it. Because of that, no thanks. I'm not interested. I want HONEST reviews from real people and obviously that's not the case here.

I have been on Isagenix for a little over 30 days, and have had mixed results. I did a 9 day to start with and lost 7 pounds which was great. However, the last 2 cleanse days I have done, I ended up with a severe headache (migraine), and very nauseated. This last cleanse day I spent a couple hours that evening vomiting. Has anyone else experienced this? I'm not sure whether the migraines are being triggered by something in the Isacleanse or by not eating. I do have an appointment with my doctor next week, and I'll definitely be discussing it with him.

I just ended my 30 day cleanse and I feel fantastic. I'm 25 years old and didn't need to lose weight, I did lose 5 lbs but I feel great, healthy and energized.

It’s a great product and does work, just pricey. $164 for the nine day.

Couple alternatives

www.therawfoodsite.com Mastercleanse

www.geniediet.com Genie Diet

But if you can afford to stay on Isagenix, then so be it, you will lose weight, on either Isagenix, or the 2 alternatives above.

They are very sleazy as a company. I never actually placed an order pending doctors advice. The next morning I checked my bank and realized they had charged to my account what we had spoken about as well as additional charges without my consent. The "customer service" was rude and not willing to help in any way. Avoid doing business with this company. They are a scam pyramid company that does not care about health, only their bottom line.

RECOMMENDED! I am almost finished w/ the 9 day program, and while it may seem costly, it really is far less then I would spend on snacking, eating out, alcohol, etc... So far I'm very pleased. I completely agree with pingu1, I did't even feel deprived on my cleanse days, even though I didn't eat for 2 days. I feel incredibly energized. I'm in a better mood which keeps me motivated to stick to it! I've lost 5lbs so far and am on day 5. I'm using this as a jump-start to eating better and taking better care of myself and maybe I'll continue w/ a shake a day to maintain. (Although I'll be getting the chocolate ones people seem to love- the vanilla is not so good...)
P.S. You don't get diahhrea on this diet, they warn you of constipation and advise you to drink plenty of water. So don't worry about dehydration...

I am nearing the end of the 30 day progaram. I feel amazing. Completely energized and healthy. I have not felt terrible hunger or that I was deprived of anything. Even on the cleanse days, I wasn't hungry, it was just the idea of not eating all day that gets to you (especially if someone else in your house is eating in front of you). So, I agree that the cleanse days take some will power, however there are only 4 in a whole month. I have happily lost 15lbs and 28" overall, and plan to continue with the shakes when the cleanse is over. The product seems expensive, but I worked out my costs of soda, lunches and dinners out, alcohol and regular groceries, and Isagenix worked out to be just under what I would have spent on all the extras throughout the month anyway.

Questions to ask yourself: 1) Do I plan on taking Isagenix for the rest of my life? 2) Will I keep the weight off after I stop using Isagenix? 3) Am I unhealthy because my body is lacking Isagenix? 4) Can I get better nutrition just by eating whole, fresh fruits and vegetables for 9 days instead of $200 worth of stuff that doesn't taste good? 5) Does Isagenix help me lose weight because the program gets me eating less calories and working out? Could I do that without Isagenix? 6) Does nature provide better nutrition than anything you can buy in a pill, bottle box or can? 7) Who benefits from me buying this product? Do they really care about my health or are they just trying to make money? 8) How many top athletes do I know using Isagenix? 9) Who is selling me this product and do I trust them? Do they appear to have superior health? 10) Have I done my research on Isagenix and the people who have used it? (looked up "Isagenix reviews" on Google)

I think whoever gives this product a good review is completely INSANE. First of all, OF COURSE A DIET WHERE YOU DONT EAT FOR TWO DAYS AND THEN YOU REPLACE 2 MEALS A DAY IS GOING TO MAKE YOU LOOSE DRASTIC WEIGHT!! ALSO WHILE YOU ARE TAKING A PRODUCT THAT GIVES YOU CHRONIC DIARRHEA! You are going to be so massively dehydrated that all your organs ARE going to suffer. It took me less than 5 minutes to find out why Isagenix is greatly toxic for the body. I went to the ingredients, and in one product there is 833% of VIT C. Here is just ONE website out of hundreds which says why too much Vit C supplements are detrimental to the ORGANS in the body http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?sec=health&res=9407e4db173df93aa35757c0a96e958260

Also in the ingredients which again, I got from the Isagenix website, there is 800% of Vit E, which again took me about 30 seconds to look up what problems can occur from too much Vit E, and it is greatly linked to HEART DISEASE, just google, "too much Vit E" or any of these Vitamins.
Again, I did the same thing for TOO MUCH VIT A, which in the Isagenix ingredients, there is 300% of Vit A, and too much Vit A is linked to serious Bone loss in woman especially. I stopped researching after that. This product is scary, and the information I got about these ingredients is only from ONE of the many products that they have. I think these effects from the products take years to fully implement into the body, so if a fwe years from now, you are having heart trouble or massive osteoporosis, remember when you took Isagenix.

I have been on Isagenix since the beginning of April. I knew that I had to make a change since I was almost 30 lbs overweight and decided that it was time to do something different. When I came home for spring break, my dad shared with me that he and my mom had lost almost 20 lbs to date on this nutritional cleanse. At first I was hesitant, but since it was my parents I decided to give it a try. During the 9 day cleanse, I was nothing short of amazed at my results. I released 7 lbs by day 5 and 13 lbs and 2 inches off my waist by day 9! Not to mention that I had incredible energy and mental clarity. I have never been involved in a network marketing company but have found this one to be filled with integrity and people who have a genuine concern for others. Also, I have no problem when the company sends me a referral check for someone signing up on the website. I wish you all better health and greater wealth!

I have tried Isagenix, and lost weight on it! The only issue I have is the price. At nearly $200 including tax, and shipping for the 9 day cleanse you cant afford to re-purchase that over and over again. I am trying this other cleanse called the genie diet, www.geniediet.com at $27 for the plan I was sold. I have read some good things about it, and its very similer to Isagenix 9 day cleanse except its 10 days. I will update you with my results.

I tried so much to lose the weight that I had gained from my preganancy three years ago and I couldn't stick with anything. Then I tried Isagenix a year ago and I lost 25 lbs. in 2 months. I didn't keep going with it though because I couldn't afford it. I did go back to my bad eating habits and I only gained 11 lbs. back in a year. Today I started Isagenix again and I feel kinda stupid that I stopped because my energy level has already gone up so much and now I can keep up with my 2 1/2 year old. I completely recommend it! www.katherineaf.isagenix.com

It truly depends on the way you use it. I personally used/ are using it and have been for a little over 3 weeks now. To me the cleanse days are useless and pointless, just order the Isalean shake and metabolism pills, work out everyday and you will see results. I've lost 15 pounds in two weeks, i work out an hour a day, and have a decent meal in the evening, just two meal replacement shakes. It helps a lot, and it keeps me feeling super energized =). I reccomend it, but use it only if you know you are going to be dedicated to it. Weightloss depends on utter dedication to your goal.

Isagenix is the best thing that has happened to me. I was dependent on anti-depressents for 13 years. When I was introduced to Isagenix I was skeptical. I had tried everything to lose weight. But the biggest side effect of anti-depressents is weight gain. So you take these meds to make you feel better and you end up putting on more weight. It was a double-edged sword. Then I started the Isagenix 9-day program and started feeling great. My sleep was better, I had more energy and was losing weight. The best part was that my mood was better. Now I'm off of my meds and feeling great. It was gradual so I didn't have any side effects. The bonus to all of this is that I've lost 25lbs and 25" overall in 2 months. I recommend Isagenix to my family and freinds, so they too can enjoy life.

Hello,

I did considerable research before starting Isagenix. I had a very close relative die of a heart attack a few years ago. If you were to look at him from the outside, you'd think he was one of the healthiest men at his age you ever saw. Isagenix works on the inside.

I spoke with some doctors and other health professionals (trainers, physical therapists, nurse practitioners, etc.). If you inquire to any docs, make sure your doctor has adequate nutritional training. An average MD has had one class in nutrition. Find someone who knows more than what you can read on the Internet. Also, make sure they understand multi-level marketing or network marking vs. a pyramid. This is the 21st century, people! MLM companies are legal, and very successful! You don't want to ask someone who immediately thinks it is a bad product b/c it is associated with network marketing. That is far from the case.

Personally, I do not have a lot of weight to lose, maybe 5-10 pounds. When I started I was 185. I play competitive soccer, exercise regulary, and eat well. After less than 3 weeks I am down to 179. I can see and feel the difference too. Yes, you do lose some weight b/c you are cutting some calories. We eat horribly to begin with, so we should all probably be cutting our calories anyway. The difference with Isagenix is the removal of the toxins in the body to allow the liver to do its job again. I am not going to get into detail on this either. You'd need a class to learn all this. Maintenace....of course you need maintenance, especially if you want to keep your insides clean. How many times do you change the oil on your car? Cleansing is so new to Americans. Other cultures have been cleansing for hundreds of years. Who's ratios on cancer are getting worse? Who's kids are obese? HINT: It isn't these other countries! This is public knowledge.

What people so quickly forget is that Isagenix is a cleanse, not a diet. It is not a laxative either, so you aren't in the bathroom all day. You'll actually discover that you are in the bathroom less b/c you are feeding your body the nutrients and minerals that it hasn't seen in years. If you do some research, you'll find that due to the depletion of nutrients in our soils, it is now almost impossible to get the nutrients we need from fruits and veggies. The nutrients in an apple today are a small fraction of what you would have found 10 years ago. Additionally, imported fruits and veggies that "may" have been grown in better soils have lost many of their nutrients due to the natural enzymes absorbing the nutrients starting immediately once it has been harvested until it reaches your mouth.

I could go on and on about this product. Do your research. Be open-minded, and consult fellow open-minded people and professionals. If you don't like it, you can get your money back after 30 days.

Do I sell the product, yes, I sold it to my wife! Needless to say, she is doing great as well.

In great health.

I did the 9 day and lost 10 lbs! It does take some will power. If you are a weak-willed person then this is not a good option for you because you will fail and blame the program. However, you could do 1 meal replacement a day rather than 2, which is what my husband (340 lbs) is doing and he lost 6 lbs. in his first 4 days. If you are big so is your stomach and you may get very hungry. So, have a healthy snack. You will still lose weight. Doctors do support the program and we spoke to our cardiologist who gave it an approval. You are not "starving yourself" because when you starve yourself you do not consume nutrients. This program is full of nutrients that support your body. My uncle had gastric bypass - leaving him unable to eat, and putting him in the hospital with possible brain damage due to a lack of nutrients from starving himself. So, with this program you can lose weight while getting the nutrients you need. I LOVE this stuff and want to share it with you if you are interested please visit us at cleanse2live.net. Best of luck to those of you that decide to do it and stick to it!

I tried the 30 day weight loss not so much to lose weight but more to feel more energetic (although I did want to lose about 10 lbs.).
My initial thoughts after looking at this program were "No way, I am not going to be able to eat for a full day once a week on these cleansing days! hat will never work for me". In the past I have tried taking supplements as a way to be healthier and really never felt better from them so I didn't expect to feel better on Isagenix either. Well, I was very wrong. Within a few days I truly had much more energy and felt great. Personally, I did experience the increased energy and mental clarity that Isxagenix claims. I didn't eat the 600 calorie meals that they suggest but rather had normal meals that I would usually have but I just cut down on the size of those meals (ate just until I was satisfied not stuffed!). For me, a chocoholic, the chocalate shakes satisfied that craving. After the 30 day program I lost 13 lbs. Which was right about what I wanted to lose. I really have never felt better and plan to continue with the total wellness program.... though I think I will only cleanse once a month. Currently, I do plan to try this as a side business. I didn't start out with that in mind but after seeing the difference it has made for me I think other folks would like to feel this way.

I have been on the 9 day program for 7 days now and I am just about to do the 2 last cleansing days. It is great so far! I have not weighed myself yet, therefore I cannot tell you how much I have lost. What I do know is that I feel much better. I have more energy and my motivation to stick to a healthy lifestyle has improved. The cleansing "juice" and the isagenix supreme are not the best tasting but tolerable. I love the chocolate shakes. I was surprised! After these 9 days, I am going to continue with the 2 shakes a day. We will see...so far so good!!!

I fell very ill and was unable to eat at all. a friend of mine uses isagenix so i decided well i cant eat so i might as well use this program as some nutrients. i went on the diet and felt oh so much better and within a week i was able to start consuming foods again. only i didnt feel as well when i consumed other foods. i was back and forth from the drs. and finally i was diagnosed as having celiac. isagenix is gluten free, and that is why i was feeling better after a week on this. NOW i went on the program to STOP losing weight and for nutrients, it worked very well for what i needed it for. it cleansed my body and yes i lost a ton of weight (over 30lbs) but i dont believe it was from isagenix, i believe that was because i was so sick. i am currently doing the total health and wellness not for weight loss or weight control however its for nutrients that my body needs. this product has certainly changed my life forever and helped my drs solve why i was so sick. 5 stars otherwise i might have starved to death!!!!

Here's the real deal...Isagenix claims that you will lose weight and you do, so there is some validity there. The issue is that the way you lose weight is like any fad crash diet. You are taking in an insanely small amount of calories so that by simply functioning day to day, you will lose weight, no exercise needed. The problem is, it is not a healthy way to lose weight and like most diets, eventually when you are able to eat "normally" again, unless you change your habits and lifestyle, you will gain the weight back eventually. When you deny yourself so much and eat very little, binging after the diet is a common occurrence. I can live with the claim that you will lose weight, because you do. What I can't live with is all the "scientific" jargon and explanations...please, this is not how the body works and the isagenix ingredients are not magic; actually there are quite a few questionable ingredients! This product is not magic, it's pretty much like every fad diet out there! Don't waste your time, energy, and money! Protect yourself and your health!

I agree with Chloe12! I followed the cleanse to a tee! Yes, I did lose some weight, but of course you will when you are starving for days on end! The claims are hilarious! Anyone that is remotely educated can see that! Sounds like mvozza might be selling the stuff!

Apparently you know absolutely nothing about the products and nothing about the company. It is endorsed by doctors. Doctors all over the United States. You obviously used the product incorrectly. You must follow the detailed plan or you will fail. And by the way, pyramids are illegal!!! Isagenix is not a pyramid, not even remotely close. If anyone is reading this, try it for yourself. Make your own judgement and don't listen to people who failed because they chose to follow the program incorrectly!

Don't believe the hype! Yes, you will lose weight on this cleanse but you would anyway if you drank nothing but water and ate some almonds in between your sensible gulps of air. When you feel awful at certain points in the cleanse, Isagenix has come up with a great reason...apparently you are getting rid of toxins in your body...or would that be because I haven't eaten in a few days?! I did lose some weight, but did not gain energy or clarity as so many claim they do! It's expensive and over-rated and many people have jumped on the band wagon. Perhaps because you can also make money selling this stuff...pyramid scheme! If it was that wonderful and truly did remove toxins from your body, it would be endorsed by genuine professionals and would be recommended by your own doctor or pharmacist or naturalist!

Isagenix worked for me. I lost 47lbs and have kept it off. I returned to a normal healthy diet and use the Isagenix products as maintenance and when I need a boost of energy. Thanks Isagenix
