Has anyone had any experiences with this product?

I have a friend that says he dropped 17 pounds in 2 weeks. That is a little discerning in my opinion.

Reading the reviews, and it seems legit, but if you drop 17 pounds in 2 weeks, that seems really unhealthy.

How much did he have to lose? I lost 30 lbs in a month...but I started at 315. The bigger you are the more you can lose. Also a lot of the initial weight lost is water.

I am thinking he was about 215 to 220. Not sure.

And could the mods please delete the other Isagenix thread? Stupid Afghanistan Interwebz.

Yeah...it looks like a real hard sell product.

it's also a MLM thing -- so i would really take EVERYTHING with a grain of salt.

IMHO, anything about losing weight that doesn't involve eating real food, exercise and very few supplements if any doesn't jive.

[spatzcat]

agreed. I think it's more like a cult than a diet. here, take this magic potion, and lose some wieght. sure, they push exercise and what not, but along with that, you get to spend 100's of dollars on their b.s product, when you could do it all on your own.

Before I even clicked on the thread, I saw the title was "Isagenix" and never having heard of it before, I said to myself "I bet this is some sort of miracle supplement or diet plan" LMAO yep, there it is!

Run away!

The plan is easily replicated with protein shakes and supplements. It's terribly expensive but if you become a salesman you reduce the overall cost for yourself.. It

S a scam and a pyramid at the same time.

Thanks for the input ya'll!

I have been personally involved with this company and I would not recommend it.  It is a hard selling company that is very expensive and you will either "drink the kool-aid" or get out.  It works because they are reducing your calories.  No brainer there, but as soon as you start adding food back into it, the weight comes back, and usually more.  There are testimonials but if you do your research you will find a lot of negative responses as well.  The one thing that is difficult is they put you on autoship and it is very difficult to get away from it.  Your team leader will likely hassle you and keep bugging you to buy and get more people under you.  I have lost 2 great friends to this "cult" like mentality.  Either you are in or you are out with this company.

MLM type selling programs are always hard sales type scams that cost people their friends. The only people who make good money are the people at the top of the pyramid. Everyone else is just being conned into alienating their friends and family by acting like super annoying sales people. 

 

I've seen good products sold through MLM programs but there is always an equivalent that can be bought at a plain old store. Just google the product and see what's really in it and who sells an alternative.

 

Last thought on the subject.  Magic weight loss products don't make you lose weight. Diet and exercise make you lose weight.

I almost signed up for this, mostly cause I really need the money. But really glad I did some more digging on the internet. This looks like shit

[jdanger]

Ha, I'm currently getting entrenched on all sides by this particular voodoo so seeing this thread rise from the dead gave me a kick.

I look at it like this:

 

If there were a real magic bullet for weight loss, it wouldn't be being marketed by an MLM or in the back pages of Cosmo or on a sketchy internet site.  It would be on the front page of the New York Times.
