What are your thoughts on Isagenix Cleanse for Life? I have a couple of friends proclaiming it a “miracle weight loss product;” one said she lost 5 lbs in a week & a half (she is not a biggest loser contestant! ha). I think it’s a matter of tightening up their nutrition & adding this is just timing but I thought I’d ask before I go jumping on this bandwagon. Do you know, does it really promote that much fat loss?

I have read up on the benefits of doing a cleanse (cellular, NOT colon;-) and there are countless benefits to doing a cleanse. The Isagenix Cleanse for Life can be used in 3 different ways… the deep cleanse which is 2 days of primarily just the cleanse for life with a few almonds and apple slices sprinkled throughout the 2 days, then there is the 1 day cleanse you can do, but I prefer the daily cleanse of drinking one scoop before bed and one scoop first thing in the morning. I am not a good cleanse candidate and going for 24-48 hours with NO food is not something I currently prescribe to (although the cross-country road trip where fast food is the only option may be something I could do;-).

As far as the weight loss goes… yes, you will lose weight, and yes some of that weight will be water, but I have personally watched SEVERAL success stories for fat loss through cleansing with Isagenix.

You can find more info on HOW the cleanse for life works here:http://www.stephaniekeenan.isagenix.com/us/en/cleanseforlife_new.dhtml#

The science behind the cleanse for life is that there are toxins in our bodies… as a way to protect ourselves from these toxins, our bodies surround them with fat. The cleanse for life releases those toxins, therefore releasing the fat. (That is why you will hear “I released x pounds”). So, YES, it can lead to fat loss, but your initial 5 pound weight loss is probably water. Does that help?
