Has anybody tried Isagenix?

8 years ago

I've got a few pounds to lose. My sister in law has just reached the 100 lb mark. She has done great with it but I have concerns. First and foremost is that she hasn't learned to eat properly, all she has done is replace meals with drinks/bars etc. If this product disappeared she would gain it all back and then some. I on the other hand would prefer to use the supplements as just that. I've never been a breakfast eater and thought the shakes with some fruits would be a good start. I don't want to replace all my meals though. I love to garden and eating fresh veggies is something I really look forward to. I'm hoping to do more preserving this year.

Any thoughts about Isagenix?

My daughter is using it for two meals (usually) and has been slowly losing. She has four young children and a very foodie husband so she does still cook a regular dinner and eats with the family. As I said, slowly but she is certainly doing it in a healthy way. Good luck.

Why take some random drug? Count calories. Exercise.

I leave mine in the ground here in western Oregon zone 8b and they have made it thru the coldest winter in 40 years last year(-10) , they actually multiplied, here there is more problem with saturated ground in winter than the cold and I did not cover it with anything Im going to cover them this winter , I had a bed that was unused and covered with plastic and when I uncovered it this spring it was bone dry . this winter I will cover my new tubers with a tarp and then 6-10 inches of hay and leaves don't put the mulch under the tarp or mice will move in and eat your tubers I also plant my tubers a little deep 5-6" , to protect them from the ground freezing it never freezes deeper than that here

Has anybody tried baking soda to prevent powdery mildew
Q

This is essentially the same as the Cornell Formula, a fungicide developed by a plant pathologist at Cornell University some 30-40 years ago. Unfortunately, via word of mouth and the Internet, the precise formulation has morphed into something other than the original and these 'revised' recipes may not have the same impact and can even become harmful to plants. The correct formulation is 2-3 tsp. of baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) to 1G of water with 1 tsp. insecticidal or castile soap (not dish soap or detergent) and/or 1 tsp. horticultural oil (vegetable oil works as well). The baking soda actually alters the pH of the leaf surface, making it inhospitable to the survival of the fungal spores (milk accomplishes much the same process). The oil and soap act as surfactants, helping the mixture adhere to the foliage. You do not necessarily need to add both, however. It is as effective as any other commercial fungicide when mixed and applied properly Newer research has indicated that potassium bicarbonate is somewhat more effective than the baking soda - baking soda just is a lot simpler to get one's hands on. And it is important to remember that like virtually all other fungicides, this is a preventative, not a curative. It can help to keep the disease from spreading to unaffected foliage but will not remove or eliminate any existing problems. And it is always a good practice to combine a spray for powdery mildew together with good cultural controls that limit the incidence of the disease in the first place.

I tried this product on my tangerine tree which has never beared more than 3 to 4 tangerines in the past 3 years that i have had it in my possession. The tangerines usually die after a couple months, but this year it didn't for the first time. Then this year when I used this product, it still had its usual 4 fruit on it. If you know, fertilizing mango trees is similar to feeding citrus trees except that mango trees should not be fertilized after midsummer. Mango trees planted in sandy soil require more fertilizer than do those planted in clay or loam. Miracle-Gro Shake is used to take three months to feed up. It is ideal for all outdoor flower and vegetable garden beds. Also easy to use and refill with the convenient applicator package. I think its great for use on all types of new and existing outdoor flower and vegetable beds, trees and shrubs. Help to prevents overfeeding and burning when used as directed. It takes the guesswork out of feeding--shakes on in minutes and feeds continuously for up to 3 months.

Sharon, someone posted on similar a couple of years back originally saying they were a scam until they actually used them. When reporting back the next year, they only positives to say. I have made similar out of frozen orange just containers and also small drink bottles taping or zip tying them shut. Both worked well. The main thing is to exclude light as roots dislike it. A smattering of rooting hormone also helps. Did you end up getting these?

I'm not looking to be judged, I'm simply asking if anyone has used Isagenix and if they had any thoughts about it. The information I get from my sister in law is very biased as she both uses it and promotes/sells it.

I'm not judging. I was just asking why you would take some random drug (and spend money) when you could achieve the same results on your own. :)

I'm taking it now, just started it. I'm not taking it to lose weight but rather to have an alternative quick meal when I need it for on the go. I don't much like the shakes so I'm going to finish those up and order something else. I've been told that they have meal replacement bars and I might order that just to try. When I do the shakes, I probably eat about 1 a day at most. I can say I have lost about 3 pounds without trying but I've been eating fairly well since I lost 20 pounds. This was about 3 years ago. I also work out 5 times a week.

I do like some of their other products that are not shakes, such as the cleanse system and some of the vitamins. They have a 30 day money back guarantee so it doesn't hurt to give it a try. My niece tried it and decided it wasn't for her. The company gave her money back without problems. Do you have someone besides your SIL to work with? They can steer you in the right direction and show you the right products for you. I admit they can be pushy but I'm good at pushing back.

What I really do not like and might make me quit using it is the cost. It is very expensive unless you get others to join. I'm not willing to nag my friends about this product. I don't like when others nag me about what they are trying and so I won't nag others about it.

A gimmick is a gimmick. There is no magic to losing weight. It goes away as slowly as it crept up. Eat properly and exercise. IMO the more you focus on some new diet scheme, the less success you'll have.

I told my husband last year that I can always tell when the latest "new diet" is over the hill because the best-selling book or books promoting that diet start showing up at garage sales & thrift shops. Off with the old, on with the new....

You can loose weight sensibly by counting carbohydrates. You do not have to monitor anything else. Keep a food diary and restrict you daily intake to 160 to 180 grams of carbs per day. Go about your normal activities. If you are low on exercise, add 30 minutes to 1 hr of walking at least every other day - 5 days a week is good.

Google diets for type 2 diabetics to find information about carb counting.
