You are correct when you mention that weight loss is just a simple, yet welcome side effect of the cleanse.
I feel absolutely incredible. Today is the final day of my 30 cleanse.

Keep up the hard work!

I appreciate you taking this 30 day challenge and documenting it for all of us to see. Keep it going bro!

Finally, after a year, I decided to just do my own research and when I was happy with the product ingredients and medical information, said I was willing to prove them wrong for 9 days.

I found out that I WAS WRONG. Everything I know about health, nutrition, cleansing, weight loss, calorie restriction etc has come up for full examination in my very own experiences.

What I’m experienceing SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING, yet it is.

I committed to 9 days, to try this. After 9 days, I was stunned and further committed to 30 days.

What I’ve experiences has turned all my beliefs 180 degrees. I’ve come to learn that this is beyond simple calorie resctrction and water loss, way beyond. I have personally experienced the energy levels off one “shake” that allowed me to backpack with a 50 pound pack for 14 Kilometers one afternoon with nothing but full energy. My energy levels so stunned my hiking partners that they’ve since gotten involved to try this for themselves.

I fully get where you’re coming from. I was there. The words you typed are what I was thinking and what I was warning people about. I’ve since changed my opinion and am sharing my results with others so that they too may at least make up their own mind.

It was athletes such as these hall of famers that allowed me to put my mind at rest for at least 9 days to try it. I would never advise anyone to only do 9 days though because a few short days into the 9, most realize (again from my experience) that this indeed is providing what people are looking for and they are glad they could continue on to do 30 days.

the hall of famers above have gained muscle muss, while dropping body fat at the same time.

Israel has decided to put this to the test and in doing so is having his own experience. He came to the same conclusion I did after only a few days

THIS SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING

Yet it is.

What I’ve come to realize and teach to others, even before Isagenix, is that it’s not about calories at all. The body wants nutrient dense foods to support it nutritionally. An individual may consume 2000 calories of macdonalds, or doritos, or ice cream vs lean chicken, dark leafy greens, whole grain rice and carbohydrates and obviously have different results.

This program seems to be a delivery system for highly advanced nutrition, amino acids, vitamins and minerals while allowing the body to clean itself. When it’s clean, it can then further make use of the new nutritional system.

I would NEVER advise anyone to do something that did not work for me or that I would not use. I have turned down countless offers for medical drugs, and advertising of such because they’re not in alignment with my philosophy or integrity.

I fully support this program and these nutritional products.

as for his “additional” protein, he’s following the program to the letter so that he may have his experience and results, but I have spoken with him about adding a little more due to his training lifestyle. That said, the protein he is consuming is of a higher quality than what he could be getting elsewhere anyway, so his body is making use of it in a more efficient manor.

again, as with the calorie question, It’s my belief and what I teach – that it’s about quality of the protein, not the amount that matters. If the body cannot make use of the nutrients it’s given, it doesn’t matter how much we eat anyway.

I hope that helps answer this question. I too, had the same thoughts you did about the amounts of calories.

have a look at the athlete hall of famers for their stories and results on the program. IF they trust their training and muscle mass to this for a few short days, I was willing to try it too.

As far as protein, I get plenty of protein from the Isagenix but I also add a few scoops of my regular whey protein each time I make the shake. I am consuming about 1200 to 1500 calories a day on Isagenix, which is what I was doing for the past month with out using Isagenix. I plan on doing the same and slowly increasing the calories as I get to where I want to be.

Thanks for the concern, and your knowledge. It is always helpful. Always! Especially since you have been through just about every thing you possibly could go through with weight issues.

Also, what’s the difference between this and let’s say slim-fast, spirutein, or any other type of “diet” that promotes you replacing two meals with their shake? Bro, all of these types of diets trick you into consuming very low calories to induce water weight loss, which your body will gladly regain once you start to eat solid foods again. Not trying to piss on your parade here because I know how good it feels to see the scale go down; however, I also know how discouraging it is to see it go back up after going off this type of diet/cleanse.

However, if you are committed to following this through 30 days, I suggest that you add more protein and calories on the days you lift. When you are eating low cal, your body actually needs more protein than if you were eating at maintenance. Also, you must calculate how many calories you are going to consume after the 30 days. I can’t stress how critical this part is if you don’t want to regain all of the weight you’re going to lose. Oh, and this has absolutely nothing to do with will power or mindset; it’s 100% about human physiology. When you lose weight quickly, the body will work that much harder to regain it!
