Progress is Slow but Steady, All I Could Ask For

I am a total believer in the new Isagenix lineup of nutritional cleanse products that have produced significant results for people all around me, and I have been on the shake product for over a year, two protein shakes, one for breakfast, one for dinner, and a healthy meal for lunch, usually a salad or low calorie sandwich from Subway. I use only organic dressings, and try to keep the portion regulated to one or two servings of the dressing, depending on how big the salad is, but still I hover at about 222 lbs. I have been diagnosed as type 2 non-insulin-dependent diabetic, and am on Metformin and Glyburide.

I feel great, and exercise about 3 times a week right now, but know that I need to do more. The thing I think is great is that before recently, I did not even feel up to exercising as much as I do now, so I can feel my body changing. I recently had my body fat percent measured and noticed that since my reading in January 2008 of 38.7%, I have dropped to 35.1% in April. I know that at some point, the muscle mass will reach a point, if I continue to trade muscle for fat, where the greater muscle mass will help burn fat at a faster rate.

Still, the visceral fat is not burned the same way, and will take longer to get rid of, which is why Isagenix. Nutritional Cleansing has been amassing plenty of anecdotal evidence of late, in the area of visceral fat loss, as the body rids itself of impurities, and begins to shed the visceral fat that, in large part, is there to encase the toxic waste we have collected in our bodies.

I am changing my lifestyle, rather than expecting any one silver bullet to change my life. Some people have faster results, but I feel like I can expect my body to take longer, due in part to the fact that my liver and pancreas have diminished function right now, and need to come back up to speed, which I hope is still possible.
