Replace two of your meals with an "IsaLean" shake or soup preferably breakfast and dinner. Have a healthy, high fiber, low fat lunch that's approximately between 400 to 600 calories like chicken breast, with vegetables and a salad.
Step 2
Drink 4 oz. of the dietary supplement "Cleanse for Life" four times a day on your "Cleanse days" these are Day 1 and Day 2 of the program. Alternatively combine 4 oz. of "Cleanse for Life" with 8 oz. of purified water and drink.

Eat up to six Isagenix snacks throughout the day on your "Cleanse Days." These will help you feel full throughout the day, control your blood sugar and cravings.
