Success: True Stories

Isagenix has given me to tools for weight release success. With a little effort, I’ve managed to loose 25 pounds and maintain it for more than 6 months and counting. Sure, I have to be mindful of what I eat. There is no ‘magic’ pill or potion in the sustainable weight loss game. But being conscious, doesn’t mean living like a rabbit. I eat really tasty, truly filling delicious healthy meals.

Of course there are times when I indulge more than others, but then I do a cleanse day or stick to the basic shake/food/shake plan and all is well. But don’t take my word for it, the pictures tell the story!


Recently I had the chance to speak with Dave about his achievement … here’s what he had to say:And I’m not the only one with a story to share.

Check out my Horizon Foods client Dave … He’s done so well on Isagenix, I wanted to shine the spotlight on his success. He began using the product three months ago and has already lost 50 POUNDS!!! Way to go Dave!!














BK: How has your life changed since using Isagenix?

DC: There are a lot of things that have changed in my life. The most important was medically. When my doctor did my most recent blood tests she told me I no longer needed to take the 2 different types of blood pressure medication I’d been taking anymore. That was huge!

BK: Aside from weight loss, are there any other differences you feel in your body?

DC: I’d been struggling with pinched nerves in my neck and shoulders for years, which were causing numbness and carpel-tunnel type pain. My arms and fingers would go numb very regularly. After losing my first 20 pounds my neck and arm pain went away. I thought I was imagining things, but I wasn’t!

BK: How about mentally, how has that changed in the past 3 months?

DC: The products even me out or maybe I should say mellow out my mood. After cleanse days I feel really good. Maybe it’s just because I got through two cleanse days and I feel an accomplishment. Or…maybe it’s the products. I think it’s both. All I know is that I feel good. I am thinking clearer and making better decisions.

BK: How is Isagenix different from other weight loss programs you’ve done before?

DC: You know, I haven’t really ever dieted. I was a vegan for a year and a half but that’s it. What I’m finding is that these products are a life changing approach to long sustained health. This should be in a Human Beings Manual for Life. ‘How to treat your Earthly Vessel.’ I will be on these products for life.

BK: What are your favorite products?

DC: Aside from the shakes, I believe the 3 very key products in maintaining my health and weight are the Ionix Supreme, Cleanse for Life and the Accelerators capsules. These supplements give your system what it’s not getting from the food you’re eating. All of these products promote longevity. They have trained me to eat the right foods and given me a platform to create good health.

Here’s one of Dave’s favorite Healthy Living dinners:

6oz Horizon Foods Salmon 240 cal

1 tsp lemon juice 8 cal

4 Fingers Asparagus 20 cal

1 tsp Olive oil rub 33 cal

¾ cup brown rice 150 cal

total cal 431 cal


Tips: 6oz salmon is about the size of the palm of your hand

¾ cup rice is about the size of tennis ball.

Here’s to your good healthy!

Hiking in Runyon Canyon

The other day my brother Dan, his wife Lisa, my niece Molly and I (and dogs Cody and Emma) went hiking in Runyon Canyon. Both Dan and Lisa are doing PHENOMINAL on Isagenix … (Dan’s released 33 pounds and Lisa’s at 26) so hiking is a completely fun new addition to their healthy lifestyle.

It had just rained so the skies were crystal clear! Los Angeles is just beautiful in spring. Plus, it’s filled with so many hiking trails, you’ll never get bored with exercise if you make it a point to explore them all.

Everything was so gorgeous that day, time sort of got away from us. And by the time we got back to my place in the Marina, we were all tired and happy, but hungry. Being the consummate cook, I offered them a snack to tide them over … Molly opted for a celery stalk with a heaping teaspoon of almond butter (70 cals total) and Dan and Lisa chose a medium apple at 80 calories each. I went for 2 Isagenix chocolate wafers and 4 almonds (70 calories) …


Each snack was perfect to take the edge off hunger while I prepped our dinner. I made BBQ Chicken, baked sweet potatoes and a salad. All for about 400 calories. Here’s the basic menu with calorie content:





1- 5oz piece of chicken 200 cal

1 tbsp BBQ Sauce 30 cal

2 oz Sweet Potato 60 cal

Salad –

Lettuce free

1 sml tomato 30 cal

½ cup carrots 25 cal

3 tbsp Galea Dressing 42 cal

TOTAL CAL = 387

Here’s a few tips regarding portion size:

For meats 5oz is about the size of the palm of your hand

Sweet Potato serving is the size of a 2-shot shot glass

¾ cup rice (not included in this meal) is about the size of a tennis ball

For seasonings I use Wildtree because it’s all natural and msg free … for more info check out my friend Robin’s Wildtree Site www.robincurtis.mywildtree.com
