OK, this entry is only going to be about Isagenix, because I've done nothing but research the crap out of this stuff this morning. I found a website that says the 30-day system is one day a week of "cleanse" (drink Cleanse for Life liquid all day) and 6 days a week of two shakes per day and a giant lunch. I've spent all morning with spreadsheets comparing the different ways to purchase products that will work for the system without having to buy their pre-packaged system; I really don't want to pay for the "snacks" (they look like tums) or the "isaflush," which is just a magnesium supplement to deliver water to the large intestine. But even without buying those elements, the 30-day pack is by far (like $40 cheaper best case scenario) the cheapest way to buy the shakes and cleanse because the company discounts it so much.
Even though it's cheaper, I don't want to buy 30 days right now because I'm sort of broke and I'm expecting a check in a couple of weeks, so I think I will start with the 2 week Healthy Lifestyle Pak for my trial run. It comes with 2 weeks of shakes, 1 month of Ionix supreme (yay!), and the Cleanse for Life liquid that should last for 2 weeks of cleanse days. I'm paying $150 for 15 days of cleanse and 30 days of vitamins and minerals. That's pretty much what I spend on food for two weeks (not counting protein powder or vitamins), but I'll still need to buy lunch for the two weeks, which shouldn't be that expensive since I'm mostly planning to eat Trader Joe's organic wheat pastas, sauces, salads/veggies, and free range chicken. And I already have most of that stuff in my kitchen anyway.
So, the way it's turning out, if I lose 10 pounds in two weeks I will spend a negligible amount of money more than what I already spend on food and I will be getting way more nutrients than my normal eating provides. I guess it's not so bad. I'm starting to feel motivated.
