isagenix during pregnancy

Is anyone familiar with using isagenix during pregnancy?
Im trying to remain in good shape and keep weight gain to a minimal.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Dieting is not recommended during pregnancy. It's for weight loss right? I would try to just eat the best you can!

I would talk to your doctor. I use It Works products and continue to use some of them during my pregnancy. My doctor looked at all the ingredients and told me what I could and what I could not continue during pregnancy. But @GeorgiaDottie is correct. You should not use any dieting products during pregnancy. Your body needs to grow and gain weight. My doc told me I should be eating about an extra 300 calories a day when I can (I've been super sick). You are supposed to gain about 35 pounds throughout your pregnancy though.

You can continue to exercise unless your doctor puts you on restrictions. Use lighter exercising to control weight gain, not dieting.

You definitely need to talk to your doctor. I have a friend who had a very serious reaction to isogenix and ended up in the hospital. It is possible to overdose on vitamins and you're already taking prenatals so that could be an issue. Please talk to your OB/midwife before you take anything.

Yikes that's scary...i will talk to my dr. I know the company claimed that some products are safe during pregnancy but I didnt want to take their word alone and wondered if anyone else had used the shakes at all?
Im looking for a good healthy protein shake thats safe.

I have done isagenix for a year. I stopped doing the cleanses when I got pregnant. My dr said it was ok to continue the shakes, isafruits, isagreens and the isalean bars. I usually have a bar in the morning and I mix the fruits and greens with water and then I have a shake after work around 4. Other than that I have eaten normal meals. The quality of nutrients and ingredients in isagenix products is top notch. I feel comforter knowing how much nutrition my baby is getting! Hope this helps!

I started isogenix and stopped when I found out I was pregnant. I just didn't feel comfortable even if the claim to be safe it is not real food in my opinion. The shakes are to lose weight and I felt that I would do better by eating actual food for my baby. Just had to go with my gut, but definitely get a professional opinion.

Different doctors ok different things during pregnancy. One doctor may approve Isagenix while another will not. It also depends on the person's medical history and what not. Good luck!

I would all the company, I know people who have used Shakeology, but the ingredients in the two are no where near the same. Most likely they are going to reccomend asking your doctor.

While most people use Isagenix as a cleansing weight loss system there are options in Isagenix that will help you supplement your diet to be sure that you and your baby are getting all the nutrients you need to be healthy. I would talk to your doctor and then go the supplement route if you just want to be healthy. If you're using it for dieting purposes I would not recommend.

Good luck!
