Isagenix is a diet and nutritional program targeted at achieving weight loss and overall health. Isagenix combines its own line of cleansing and fat burning products and is intended to provide a fast but healthy way to lose weight while cleansing your body of impurities and toxins. With nutritional shakes, soups, snacks and supplements, the Isagenix system is fairly simple to follow and provides much of your nutritional needs in its pre-packaged programs. The 30-day program is the most popular, but there is also a 9-day program for those with lower weight loss goals.
30 Day Cleanse Program
Skip to step 8 prior to beginning if this is your first time using the Isagenix program. It’s recommended that you cleanse first if you’ve never used Isagenix in the past.
Consume two servings of IsaLean shake or soup to replace your morning and evening meal beginning on day one. Do this for every day of your program except cleanse days.
Eat one regular meal each day (typically lunch) in addition to your IsaLean shake or soup on all days except cleanse days. Isagenix recommends high fiber, low fat foods that total between 400 and 600 calories.
Take 1 to 2 ounces of Ionix Supreme and one IsaFlush capsule daily. If you become constipated, you can increase this to two IsaFlush capsules daily.
Drink at least half your body weight in ounces of water each day. If you weigh 140 pounds, you’d drink a minimum of 70 ounces of water. Increase your water intake on cleanse days and when you are exercising to stay properly hydrated.
Take two Natural Accelerator capsules each day (morning and noon).
Exercise at least 20 minutes daily.
Cleanse one day each week. To do this, add Cleanse for Life supplement to at least 8 ounces of cold water and drink 4 ounces of this mixture four times each cleanse day.
Eat up to 6 Isagenix Snacks per day during cleanse days, consuming one or two between your Cleanse for Life servings.
9 Day Cleanse Program
Cleanse on the first two days of your 9 day program by drinking 4 ounces of Cleanse for Life supplement with at least 8 ounces of cold water four times each day.
Take two Natural Accelerator capsules (morning and noon) each day for the entire program.
Drink at least eight glasses of water each day for the entire program and eat up to six Isagenix snacks.
Discontinue Cleanse for Life for days 3 through 7, replacing it with IsaLean shakes twice each day (usually breakfast and dinner) and one regular meal that is high in fiber and low in fat (about 400 to 600 calories). Continue taking two Natural Accelerator Capsules each day for days 3 through 7.
Repeat cleansing for days eight and nine, using the Cleanse for Life supplement, Isagenix snacks and Natural Accelerator capsules as you did the first two days.
Tip
Drinking at least eight glasses of water each day during your programs helps to cleanse your system and controls hunger. Isagenix recommends that you plan to drink water every hour to ensure you’re drinking enough.
During your 30 day program, you can modify your cleanse days by cleansing two consecutive days twice each month instead of four days once each month.
