I had a friend who sold it and really praised it, but it was a waste of money to my mother in law who used them but didn't eat a proper diet.

Stay not sure

In fact move to "hell no"

My sister in law has been doing this for a couple of years (selling it) ...I've lost 55lbs and maintained for most of this year. She, to be honest, is still ...well let's say not at her goal..:)

Juice Plus is Multi Level Marketing (MLM) - never a good idea.

4 Ways Juice Plus is Scamming Americans

A friend recently told us she was thinking of starting a Juice Plus supplement regimen for herself, and perhaps becoming a distributor. As she was about to drop $178 just for her own consumption, she asked us what we thought.

At first pass, the company seems legit. Its tagline - the next best thing to fruits and vegetables – is very convincing. Juice Plus capsules include a powder blend of 17 fruits and vegetables with added vitamins and minerals. Its website is rich with links to clinical research from respected academic establishments.

However, after slightly deeper research we can firmly recommend: Stay Away from Juice Plus!

Here is why:

1. The “clinical studies” supporting Juice Plus were all funded by…Juice Plus. If you don’t think that is a problem, read this.

2. Preying upon your guilt for not consuming enough fruits and vegetables, Juice Plus claims it can fill the gap for you. However, concentrated high doses of nutrients in pills may not always be bio-available. Which means you are most likely peeing away the nutrients you paid so dearly for. Generally speaking, it’s much more effective to consume vitamins and minerals in their original packaging (whole fruit, veggie salad) and not after they have been extracted and processed.

3. There are no shortcuts to getting healthy or avoiding disease. Do you really think Juice Plus can protect your DNA? Improve your Heart Health? The company actually makes these claims. If the multi-billion dollar supplement industry was so effective at preventing disease, why are more people than ever getting sick?

4. On an ethical level, multi-level marketing creates financial incentives to lie to your friends, relatives and peers in order to get them to buy something.

Juice plus makes a lot of money for its owners and maybe some of its top salespeople. The rest of us should spend our money on buying more real fruits and vegetables

No, but I guarantee there is no magic to those pills.

So much cheaper and healthier to buy your own fresh fruits and veggies. I can't see anything in these concoctions that would help with weight loss. Also, you can buy many fruit/veggie powders for under $20 if that's the route you want to take.

I tried 'Juice Plus' for approximately a month and a half. So the idea is - two 'juice plus' shakes a day (one for breakfast, one for lunch) and an evening meal consisting of around 500-600 calories (all natural food).

I'd actually like to say that this was the biggest waste of my money. Ever. These milkshakes claim to pack a huge amount of vitamins/fruits/vegetables in to each one and keeping you adequately full. Fine, whatever. But I paid around £130 a month for these 'shakes' and I was utterly starving. Yes, they tasted delicious but I was miserable.

So I'd then come home and try desperately to find something that I'm "allowed" to eat. (Your rep usually gives you a print-out prior to starting listing what you can and cannot eat). Everything must be utterly free of certain oils/fats etcetc. And get this? You are NOT allowed to drink tap water *eye roll*.

So I stuck to this ridiculous 'plan' for a month and a half and then promptly "fell off the wagon" despite bothering to check my 'weight loss progress'. I just didn't care. I was fed up and wanting to eat proper food. I came off it, sold my remaining Juice Plus shakes online for around £10 and binged on bagels, bread and pasta. Thus gaining a good 28lbs. Great.

Not worth it. Save your pennies. Buy real food and don't be miserable.
