hi,
Thank you for your query. I understand your concern on losing weight .
In my view crash diets like Isagenix diet are not quite good for your health. The weight gained over a period of 3 years need to be lost in a gradual steady way.
Moreover the diet you mentioned doesnt fit the balanced diet required. A minimum of atleast 1500-1800 calories need to be taken by you considering you are of average height and moderately heavy.
I suggest you to take up a diet of 1500 calories, dedicate some time in a day for exercises, 4-5 litres of water and avoid all junk .
Follow this for 3-5 months and remember you need to be patient about shedding pounds. Never give up on the diet and exercise. Im sure you will see the changes within 6 months.
Feel free to write back to me if you have any more queries .
Good luck and wish you good health.
