    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!

    Improving World Health,
    The Mission Continues . . .

    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

    Review: New Isagenix Shakes 

    There seems to be mixed review about the taste of the new Isagenix IsaLean Shakes so I thought I would chime in and give my opinion.

    I have been a user of Isagenix products for over 3 years now.  Since then, Isagenix has reformulated the shakes three times.  My favorite flavor has always been the chocolate although I may be changing my mind after using the new Natural Creamy Vanilla.  So first, lets talk chocolate.

    In my opinion the taste of the new Natural Creamy Chocolate is not better or worse it is just different.  To me it tastes more like coco.  What I mean is it reminds me of the taste of hot chocolate only in a cold delicious shake.  So who doesn’t like the taste of hot chocolate?

    Now I never was a fan of the old vanilla shake.  To me it had a banana taste that did not appeal to me.  However, the new Natural Creamy Vanilla is nothing but vanilla.  I love it so much I find myself drinking it more often than my old chocolate favorite.  My husband even had me switch his auto-ship from chocolate to vanilla.  For those of you who like bananas go ahead and add a banana or your other favorite fruit to your shake.

    Now both the shakes are more thick and creamy than the old ones.  But the most important thing is that they are healthier.

    New shake includes:

    • 23 grams of the highest quality whey and casein protein and a superior amino acid complex that helps you maintain and build lean body mass.*
    • Lower lactose levels for easier digestion.
    • Ionic Alfalfa, Isagenix’s exclusive blend of over 70 supercharged trace minerals to keep your body running at peak performance.
    • Only 240 calories and 6 grams of fat per shake.  It’s the perfect high nutrition food that costs less than $3 per meal.**
    • Clinically proven to support weight loss and weight management.***

    To purchase the new Isagenix shakes or a complete Isagenix system go to http://www.cleansebenefits.com/.  Sign up as an Associate or Preferred Customer and save money.

    *These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration.  These products are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent disease.

    **Wholesale price available to Associates and Preferred Customers.

    ***Based on a university study where shakes replaced two meals each day for seven days resulted in greater weight loss and an increase in lean body mass in comparison to our previous shake.  For maximum results, take Isagenix shakes as part of a complete Isagenix system.

    Isagenix for Breakfast? 

    What's in YOUR Breakfast?

    What's in YOUR Breakfast?

    Do you start your day off with all of the protein, fruits, vegetables, B-vitamins (for energy!), and ionic minerals that your body needs – all in one convenient drink?

    I used to eat cereal or a bagel or some other high-carb/low-protein kind of food, or eggs and bacon – much higher on the protein but also high on the fat!  Often after eating this kind of food for breakfast I felt both unsatisfied and had stomach discomfort – sometimes I wished I hadn’t ate at all!

    That all changed when I discovered Isagenix and realized that if I mixed the IsaLean Shake (protein), the Cleanse for Life (minerals), the Ionix Supreme (vitamins and rare plant extracts), the IsaFruits (FRUIT!), and the Isagenix Greens (veggies! how often do you eat vegetables for breakfast?) all together in one mega-healthy shake I’d be on to something.  Well, I was right.  It’s the best breakfast I’ve ever had – it tastes great, it’s fast, I can drink it in the car if I want and I drink it almost every day (vacations are sometimes an execption but even then I regret it and wish I had just had the shake!).

    Not only does it make me feel good (my stomach – and my belt – thank me) … it helps me start my day in just about the healthiest way possible.  Recently I went to a health seminar (NOT Isagenix related) and there was a medical doctor talking about good nutrition.  Their #1 suggestion – drink a protein shake every morning!  AND if you aren’t getting enough fruits and vegetables (and who is??) – take a fruit suppliment and a vegetable suppliment.  I just nodded and knew that she was 100% right.  Whether you want to diet to lose weight, you’re an athlete who wants to build lean muscle mass and be healthy, want to start your day off with some mental clarity instead of in a post-breakfast FOG, or WHATEVER you want to do you should be starting your day off with something as healthy as this.

    To mis-quote a credit card commercial – what’s in your breakfast?

    Here’s EXACTLY what’s in mine – impressive huh? :)
