Doug Losing Weight

I haven’t listened to an entire CD that came with my first order – even once.  I tried again last night.  They are terrible.  I think they are trying to get me to buy into their program through fear.

I remember my first experience – I’m sitting there surrounded by $300 worth of their product, put in a CD to learn more about how to use it, and they start with the FEAR.  Be afraid of EVERYTHING – the water, the food supply, the dust mites, the men at the grocery store, that sweaty fat guy at the gym!  BE AFRAID!!!

Ummm, I just wanted to know what to drink and when.  What does a Metabolic Doubler do?  And when should I take them?  What is Ionix Supreme, and what is it supposed to do?  Pretty basic stuff…

But all I get is a full-on hardcore selling spiel on why everything in my world is poisoning me…

I don’t need that.  I click the “next” button on my CD player… the whole thing starts again at the beginning.

There’s only one track on the entire CD, so I have to scrub through to find the stuff that actually teaches me how to use the stupid products?  I don’t think so.

Isagenix is kind of a mickey mouse organization to me, with REALLY expensive products.  One of the CD’s they sent me was a recording of a phone call – through the phone receiver!  That and the fact they don’t know when to stop marketing and get to the real information gives me the feeling there’s no real strategy that considers how the end customer is using their product.

So I’m not sold on why I have to stick with them and their terribly expensive product.  I’m on my way to GNC on my lunch break to see about meal replacement shakes.  I’ll bet I can replace a meal with a shake for a LOT less than I’ve been doing it.

After Lunch:

Yep, a LOT cheaper.  The bottles I’ve been paying $75 for are $30 at GNC – and they have four flavors (instead of 2 at Isagenix), and they have buy one get the second half off until the end of April.  (no shipping charges on top of it either)

Oh, and they have a cleanse drink too, and a starter program that has you do a cleanse fast for a week before you start – and it comes with clear, easy to use printed instructions and no one-track, fear-mongering CDs…

I bought the shakes.  I’ll let you know what I think.
