    There are Isagenix Snacks include in your System 

    There are Isagenix Snacks include in your system and those are for cleanse days.  You can use them on Shake days to ward of cravings, but they are an important part of your cleanse day, so do not forget them!

    You’ll have 6 of them on a cleanse day.  Spread them out about every 2-3hours.  They will help you get though cravings.

    Other examples of things you can have on a cleanse day- hard boiled egg, 3-5 raw almonds or walnuts or half an organic apple or pear.  It is OK to have something like these snacks if you really feel you just ‘NEED SOMETHING”.   The truth is your body is still being nourished and you don’t need it, but you may want it and these are some very good choices.

    Remember the more closely you follow the program the quicker your results.  So, no treats other than the Isagenix Snacks is best, but make it work for you.

    On Shake days you’ll have 2 shakes and 1 meal 400-600 calories.  Make it flexible.  Start with a shake for breakfast and one for lunch if that works for you.  If you need something to snack on between those two meals or late night, the Isagenix snacks are ok, but so are the other snacks we talked about.  Remember to minus out the calories from your 400-600 meal.  Try having a 400 calorie dinner and a 200 calorie snack like apple with peanut butter or cottage cheese with fresh fruit.  Frozen organic meals are great for calorie counting and they keep you out of the kitchen if you are a nibbler.
    You’ll love your results!

    Let’s talk more on Facebook and if you don’t want to cleanse alone be sure to join our group cleanse on Facebook too!

    Isagenix 30 day vs. Shake / Cleanse vs. Modified 30 Day system 

    I see some teams promoting the double Shake and Cleanse pak only, as the intro product for ease of use + compliance = more people stay on system because it is easier, the same each day + people don’t have to go a day without food… I’m told this builds the business faster too, and that the results of this are within 5% of the results for following the 30 day with the cleanse days included…

    That said – I have other teams telling me that taking products out out affects the system & that the 30 day should be the system of choice for the new person & first time on the product & followed precisely.

    On the other side – I’ve also had it suggested that modifying the 30 day to turn it into a cleanse at night just before bed + shake when you wake = take all the other products during the day normally is a great way to keep people on board too due to the fact it is the same everyday, and does not require going full days without food while on cleanse.

    Can you please offer your thoughts on these versions vs. how much faster / slower each would be = can we adapt the systems like this to serve those who essentially are saying they can’t follow instructions & aren’t willing to go a day without eating… lol :-)

    Finally – would you please have the Total Health & Wellness system updated so that it too can be 1 Choc & 1 Vanilla (just like all the other paks!) as this is most desireable to many people I am speaking to, when they want to go to maintenance.

    Thanks John! :-)

    John Anderson’s reply;

    Business Building vs Cleansing and better health;
    These are two different subjects and both important for the success of your health and livelihood.

    First, your health;
    There are modified ways found today that have changed my original science of “Cleansing” and the added benefit of weight loss, and general overall health.

    Some of the reasons we get sick today is because of the exposure of toxic chemicals, pollutants, unclean water, contaminated foods, polluted air, etc.

    Exposure to the environment leads to chemicals being trapped in your body, this is an absolute fact. Loosing weight go hand in hand with releasing toxins.

    Your body is a miracle, God created us with a very complex design, however we are overloaded with todays pollution and more.

    So, your goal can be weight loss, or it may be cleansing, both will yield better health. They work together as well.

    Releasing weight, “Fat Burning”, will uncover toxins, (one being flame retardants) we seem to store in our fat. This is one of the reasons people have a hard time on weight loss programs, they feel lousy. Now we know why!

    My main concern is ridding these toxins from the body while burning fat. Deep cleansing in my opinion is very important to really get deep results.

    Now, the 9 day system or 30 day do include this necessary regime. Your correct in stating that some people will not go without food for a day or two. This stems from fear of their next meal syndrome.

    Identifying this problem is the first step, then comes choosing the path and regime you feel you are capable of achieving. Here is where all the different plans have evolved from.

    Shakes and day time cleansing are very good for maintaining and or loosing weight, nutritional support, mild cleansing, warding off deficiency disease, and overall better health. This still does not address cleansing deep into stored fat cells but better than most plans out there!

    Night cleansing is something I do not understand? This must have evolved from someone who did not want to cleanse for a day so they decided to try it while sleeping.

    HERE IS THE PROBLEM;
    You need water and plenty of it while removing toxins. So what do people do? Do you set the alarm each hour to wakeup and drink a glass? This is not even close to being acceptable as a solution to cleansing.

    Night cleansing WILL however provide very special nutrients for better health”Supplementation”.

    EATING WHILE DEEP CLEANSING;
    I do not go for the egg, salads, celery, and maybe throw in a pork chop style of cleansing either.

    So whats right or wrong? I believe there are benefits in consuming any or all of the products at some level.
    It really depends on how committed you are to your health. Baby steps are better than not taking the FIRST step!

    I can not tell you to just promote the 9 day, 30 day, shakes and cleanse pack etc.

    Here is what I CAN tell you,
    Maximum results are found in the 9 day and 30 day systems. Milder results yet still effective, are yielded in many modified plans out there.

    Choose your level of commitment to yourself, then go for it!

    THE BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY;
    Retention loyalty is residual income. What insures retention? RESULTS!

    Coaching is your most important duty to your patron clients. You are agreeing to help them succeed in their health quest. You want them to have results.
    THIS CREATES RETENTION, THIS INSURES YOUR LONG TERM SUCCESS.

    Think how hard it would be to retain a down line team
    if we had no results. The products work, they create results, and, this is what makes Isagenix unique to the world and secure a business opportunity for everyone.

    There are so many products out there that may support some needs in nutrition but are not yielding the results Isagenix has. Isagenix gives you the advantage!

    Get personable with your patrons and ask them what they want to achieve, what level of commitment they are ready for, and provide help and support. People need comfort in the path they choose and need someone to help them along their journey.

    Explain the original benefits of the 9 and 30 day systems first. Then if necessary, introduce the concept of shakes and daily cleansing.

    Night cleansing does not exist in real toxin removal without hydrating properly. Don’t mislead people to believe otherwise.

    Finding the personal plan for each person = long term health and business success!

    John Anderson Isagenix Formulator Comments on Deep Cleansing for 2 days 

    Your body required support in every way. This includes all the building blocks like a balance of protein, carbs, and fat, fat being necessary for hormone regulatory balance.

    Old fad diets never supported the body causing cannibalism of lean body mass. Ever see someone sagging after a diet fast without nutritional support? its not pretty!

    After you have cleansed for example Monday night at bedtime, day 1 Tuesday, day 2 Wednesday, and wakeup on Thursday morning, your body is ready for the nutrient dense IsaLean shake. This is very necessary, just the same as adding a shake after a hard workout.

    Your body will protect its lean mass, immunity, build muscle, and continue to burn stored fat as additional energy. What a Deal!

    Extended cleansing is not for the general public and 99,5 % of the population. In very few cases would it be appropriate to continue a 3rd day, its just not what your body needs. Restricting Proteins and carbs etc is depriving the natural balance of life.

    Juicing foods;
    I must explain the difference between cleansing and adding liquid foods to your daily regime. The IsaLean shake is food. A blended mixture of vegetables are also food.

    Having your raw foods or lightly cooked foods added to a blender is still a nutritious food keeping in mind, you need 40% of your calories from Carbs, 30% of your calories from Protein, and 30% of your calories from Fats.

    Protein has 4 calories per gram
    Carbs have 4 calories per gram
    Fat has 9 calories per gram

    Many people think fat is bad because of its high caloric content. This is not true, you just eat less, but you need fat in your diet.

    So, happy Cleansing everyone, you can be sure Isagenix is well thought-out. February 1st is my 30th year in the manufacturing and formulating industry.
    As new advancements and studies become available,
    new 22nd century nutrients become available, I will modify and improve products for you to rely and enjoy.

    Improving World Health!
    The Mission Continues

    How To Do Isagenix 

    The fact is, there are several ways to add Isagenix to your regime.

    My thoughts (John Anderson the Formulator and founder of Isagenix) are based on the ingredient function and how the nutrients affect the body.

    However, Isagenix marketing department have printed ways to compromise in cases where some people think they can’t do the systems with such strong regimes.

    This is not always wrong, many benefit from taking Isagenix to fit their schedules, ease the pressure of feeling they cheated, etc. Maybe these instructions do slow down the results but they are better than giving up.

    The JA WAY is my way of educating people how to succeed faster and get the biggest bang for their buck.

    In reading the instructions, I find that eating eggs, salads, and other food snacks are perfectly acceptable. There are many who mentally think they need the extra food to survive. In these cases, the relaxed way of adding Isagenix is better than not at all.

    I am retired, yes, the literature did change, but the fact is Isagenix is still the number one Cleansing company in the world.

    Confusing the consumer is not a good idea, too many fingers are in the pot resulting in mixed questions.
    I suggest if you share my original way of consuming the system, you share it by simply suggesting the option.

    I conducted the first study of 242 people who were ages 18 to 75, male and female, and all volunteered to follow the regime exactly as requested.

    This study was conducted based on the results of approximately 10 others who had incredible results including me.

    The result was as follows;
    Most everyone reported more energy,
    clarity of mind, some reported better eye sight,
    slept better than in years,
    All reported inches loss,
    AND, the average weight loss in all subjects was 15.8 pounds in 9 days.

    I knew this had to be shared with the world and quickly founded Isagenix. Jim and Kathy became my Co-Founders. We had a mission!

    The point is, these results are not enjoyed today because the regime has changed. Never the less, people do get results, just not so dramatic as the original regime was.

    Share this and let people choose their path, there are many benefits to both ways.

    Happy Cleansing

    John

    Does Nutritional Body Cleansing Work? 

    The practice of Nutritional Cleansing, is not a new consept. People all over the world have been ‘cleansing’ for thousands of years. However, othen the ‘nutritional’ piece is missing.

    While Cleansing is the foundation in which Isagenix® and its systems were developed, flooding the body with proper nutrition is the key to a healthy lifestyle.

    ‘Nutritional Cleansing is built upon the health routine of cleansing, including fasting and drinking herbal remedies. Cleansing gives the body the chance to rest, regenerate and assist in its natural ability to remove toxins and impurities to promote long-term wellness.’

    Isagenix has improved on this ancient practice with a system that cleanses and replenishes and revitalizes the body with essential nutrients, vitamins and minerals. Fasting helps to remove impurities from the body, but Nutritional Cleansing speeds up this process by infusing the body with these healthy nutrients.’

    ‘Isagenix is not a “quick-fix” or a diet, but a way to creating a healthy, manageable lifestyle. The benefits of Nutritional Cleansing, combined with the convenience of a complete wellness system, has given people the ability to change their lives in remarkable ways and has created greater health and safe, lasting weight loss for hundreds of thousands of people.’

    Are you ready to start living a healthy lifestyle? Are you ready for Nutritional Cleansing?

    Weight Loss Plateau 

    If you have been with a weight loss plan for some time you have probably faced a plateau. So what do you do?  This can be very frustrating, particularly if you have experienced dramatic results early on in your program.  It is a phenomenon that happens with diets as well as fitness plans.  No program is immune, but there is hope!  There are probably more than 100 answers to the question, “So, what do I do now?”  Here are just a few that have worked for me.  First, give your hard working body a break!  No, don’t give up your workout or throw in the towel at the buffet.  It’s time to begin the process of detoxification and cleansing.  “Cleansing” is a holistic approach to giving the body what it needs to take care and perhaps heal itself naturally.  It is not a Fast!  A good cleanse gently helps the body to rid itself of harmful toxins, while weaning the body off sugar, caffeine, alcohol, meat, processed foods and other potentially harm foods and drinks.  This will jump start your metabolism and you should feel that it is easier to avoid putting junk in your body.  There are many good cleanses out there. Try looking for one that won’t leave you nutritionally depleted. You should feel energized after a cleanse, with better focus and more determination than before.  Protein is the second key to stubborn weight loss.  Boost up your protein intake with foods and/shakes.  This will maximize your fat burning by promoting lean muscle mass.  Shakes can also be used as meal replacement, further reducing your caloric intake anytime.  What ever you chose to do, DON’T GIVE UP!

    What does the formulator of the Isagenix Products Snack on? 

    “If you must cheat, choose healthy low-calorie foods like nuts, small salads and vegetables.”

    That being said,

    ANSWER;
    Here’s the Deal,

    Cleansing is done for several reasons, to rid your body of toxins and also to loose weight.
    Both require proper cleansing instructions and doing it correct, this will insure success.

    Over the years, everyone think they are experts and have changed the original cleansing. This has lowered the the success rate, average weight loss, and slowed the system.

    Eating foods on cleanse days is some fabricated crutch to appease cheaters and sugar addicts. Someone started the almond thing and has caused a rash of foods including eggs, salad, nuts, yogurt, chewing gum, vegetables, fruits, to be added as an “OK” thing to do.

    The IsaSnacks are part of an important calculation, balanced nutrients formulated for a reason. The need to stabilize blood sugar was a factor when I originally designed the 9 day system. Adding a snack 6 times a day stimulates the colon slightly, adds a small amount of carbohydrates, and stabilizes blood sugar.

    Ketosis is necessary for uncovering (Burning fat) where toxins are present. So, the need to enter a mild state of ketosis is a must for really detoxifying and BURNING FAT! By adding any other nuts and food will disrupt the process.

    Diabetics and Hypoglycemic individuals must watch their blood sugar closely for LOW blood sugar. If this occurs, then it is recommended to eat a slice of apple or fruit and if needed, repeat until levels are back to normal.

    Unfortunately, there are a lot of people who Panic when the hunger signs hit. This is a trained mind response that occurs as a survival mechanism. One starts to feel their next meal is not coming and PANIC sets in.

    This can be reversed and the habit broken in 48 hours by not teasing your self and eating snacks to keep the evil hunger monster away. Regardless of your weight, this can be controlled. In some cases, the mental stress of “The next Meal Syndrome” may require support from a coach, physician, friend, or someone who can work on the strong mental factor of assuring “Death” will not occur, so to speak!

    JA WAY TO CLEANSE;
    Drink 16 ounces of cleanse during the entire day in your drinking water,
    Add 6 snacks daily during your cleanse,
    2 IsaDelights are optional,
    You may also take your Essentials, Ionix, C-Lyte, Omegas, and a little WME.

    NO’s;
    eggs
    nuts
    fruit
    vege’s
    salad
    or any other foods.
    If you do eat these snacks, you will be hungry during the cleanse and have a much harder time, so doing it the JA Way will help you succeed..

    ADDITIONAL NOTE; Constipation

    NEW MESSAGE SENT TO ME;
    “I have battled with extra pounds. The Isagenix concept sounded perfect for my goals and lifestyle. So, despite my tight budget, I opted for the 30 day program. I’m on the 30 day cleanse program and have struggled with constipation since day 1. Despite all my efforts and the supplemental options available (Isaflush), I have not been able to successfully eliminate and unfortunately am not feeling or seeing the benefits of Isagenix. For that matter, I’m quite miserable. I have not experienced anything more uncomfortable and stressful than constipation…and so I’m feeling pretty rotten right now.”

    JOHN’S ANSWER;
    constipation is sometimes a problem for those who have cronic issues. I do suggest adding IsaFiber Pro when this occurs.
    Thanks

    Will Isagenix Make Me Poop? 

    It may sound funny, but this is a very common question I get asked about Isagenix products.  When people see the word “Cleanse, ” they remember their brother’s-wife’s-cousin’s horror story of a colon cleanse spent sitting on the john; and the last thing they want to do is take a product that will have them wondering if they should have invested in a package of Depends.

    A standard colon cleanse is essentially a laxative or diuretic, loosening your bowels and making that walk to the bathroom seem 5 times as far as it really is.  Colon cleanses actually deplete your body of nutrients because it’s flushing EVERYTHING out, including essential vitamins and minerals.

    Isagenix’s Cleanse for Life is NOT a colon cleanse, or a liver cleanse, or any specific organ cleanse for that matter.  Cleanse for Life is much more than a colon cleanse.  It contains an exclusive combination of ionic minerals, botanicals, vitamins that cleanse the entire body on a cellular level, while supporting improved health. Cleanse for Life actually nourishes the body as it cleanses–it is not simply a laxative.

    So, in short,  no, Cleanse for Life will not “make you poop”–it is not a laxative or diuretic and you will not be spending your program afraid to go out of the house because you’re feeling your bowels will “let loose” at any given time.   So take your Cleanse for Life with confidence and throw away the maps routing quickest ways to the nearest bathroom throughout your day.
