Plexus Slim

krazyforyou

Anyone out there using this for weight loss? How is it working for you? Are you having any side effects? I ask because I am going to start on Sunday. Just wanting to know.

Hi there! I'm sure you will get different opinions, but here's mine! I bought 2 months of Plexus after trying the "7-Day trial". On the 7-Day trial I lost 4 pounds, so naturally I wanted to get the month supply. I used the Plexus along with slight diet changes and I took it religiously every day at the same time, and I GAINED 2 pounds. After my 2nd month arrived (I did the automatic thinking it was actually going to work) I started really researching it, and cannot find any valid proof that it actually works. I actually found a few blogs were people gained weight like I had using it. I wish I knew you I would give you my unopened Plexus thats sitting in my kitchen cabinet. I didn't use it because it made me crave sweets like I was pregnant!! Not even lying I would start crying because I was craving sweets and I really wanted the Plexus to work so I wouldn't eat any of them, so I got sad.

But all of that being said, I do personally know of 2 people who have lost a few pounds using Plexus. And I honestly hope it works out in your benefit. I would highly recommend using the 20oz of water per packet; as the taste to me was too strong for anything less than that, I would actually use more than 20 oz. Make sure you're drinking LOTS of water to flush out your system my Plexus rep/personal friend said that is how it actually works.

Best of Luck!

Oh also, about the side effects, I would get super jittery and sick to my stomach some days while taking the Plexus. But I tend to be sensitive to most things.

Ask yourself this....................................will I be taking this forever? Because if the answer is NO, then you'll regain weight. ALL diets have a 90% failure rate because they usually can't be sustained.
And if the quick answer is "I'll convert to a better lifestyle once I reach goal weight", then what's really stopping you from doing it now?
That's like a person saying "I'll start saving money once I pay off all my bills". If you ain't doing it now, you ain't gonna do it later.

In response to the two people who posted their response.
To the person it didn't work for, they have a 60 day satisfaction guarantee, return it and get your money back. That being said there is no one product that works for every person so to the OP don't get discouraged.
To the second response most people use plexus as an aid in their weight loss and diet changes. Not just take a supplement and continue the McDonald s drive thru every day so NO you do not have to take it forever and you don't need to be dependent on it. Plexus in combination with lifestyle changes can really work for some people so try not to be so discouraging to people.

Well that is not exactly true. If you purchased a 3 month supply under the Plexus ambassador program, you are not entitled to SQUAT after 5 days. The 60 money back guarantee does not apply. I DID not AND DO not want to distribute, I bought a 3 month supply to simply save money. My host neglected to advise. Go figure. I am stuck with this junk.

If the premise is changing lifestyle, then what does the pill have to do with it? Does it cause better eating habits? Absolutely not. That is a conscious effort of the person. So why pay extra money to just change an eating lifestyle?

IMO, pills, powders, juices, detoxes etc etc etc, are all a waste of money. They teach you nothing about learning a sustainable lifetime change of the way you eat and how you view food. In the past, I tried so many of these types of things and not one ever worked. You need to learn to eat in a healthy way, that you can do for the rest of your life.

ebarnes1212

Hi there! I actually asked for a refund and was denied one. But, I was not trying to discourage anyone, simply letting them know how it worked for me, as I know people who HAVE lost weight using it and I personally was expecting the same thing to happen, and it didn't. Sometimes its better to know that it won't work than just assume it will. I actually changed my entire lifestyle while using plexus and was going to the gym daily for an hour and a half and I still gained weight. I had to go to the doctors about it, and he told me to quit using the Plexus, after I quit it, I slowly started to lose weight.

But it DOES depend on the person. Clearly in my experience it didn't work. I didn't realize that my story of using Plexus was so discouraging and offensive to others, so I apologize if it did.

ebarnes1212

I should add when I said "slight" diet changes, I meant I cut out all fast food and soda, and most carbs. I have realized that is more of an entire lifestyle change and not a 'slight' change. But since I quit Plexus I also changed a few things, like using different things in substitute to fattening products. I used Plexus before I started actually using MFP, so I didn't really understand how much 'extra' I was getting by not measuring everything down to the teaspoon.

If you are also using the accelerator, be careful! It's pretty much pure caffeine and made me super sick when I tried it. Also, the taste was absolutely disgusting. I didn't bother checking if I lost any weight when I tried it because I could not handle using it longer than a couple weeks.

Yeah, Ambassadors don't really get a Money back guarantee because most try it before they become one. I however, did the same as you. I jumped right in as an ambassador. But only to get a discount. Why did you buy a 3 month supply? I have been buying mine month to month. I had success with Plexus though. I quit drinking soda and never worked out and I ate like I normally had, which included fast food runs occasionally. I lost 30lbs in 3 months. I have since hit a plateau and havent lost anything in the past month. I have ate like a pig though. Damn holidays and all the junk around the house That's why i decided to start using Myfitnesspal. Hopefully my diet will get on track and I cant start losing again.

The 3 month supply was the way it was marketed from the ambassador I purchased through. Then he hooked me up with a facebook page for ambassadors. Any time any question was asked regarding diet or exercise, it was immediately deleted. When I wrote a post about physical issues from taking plexus, it was deleted; I was harassed by the host and removed from the site. Pyramid scheme, you betcha. Anyone still believing wanting to buy unopened accelerator cheap let me know.

ebarnes1212

Sell it on Amazon! I sold the water packets on there and made almost all of my money back!

Agree with this ^^^

Thanks. Sold that junk on Amazon. It is such a real pull for those that want to lose weight "the easy way". There is no easy way. Diet and Exercise. That is all. Sucks but true.

ebarnes1212

It worked for a friend of mine, but she was already freaking tiny. Didn't need to lose any weight, and she went through a big break up of 7 years, so I'm assuming the depression and stress caused her to lose weight not the Plexus. But I'm glad you were able to sell it!!

Yes, yes,yes

seh139

Sorry to tell you but it didn't work for me either...
I've been a serial dieter with random things, because all i wanted was a quick fix. There is no quick fix and it really does come down to healthy eating and exercise i'm afraid... and willpower!

I am currently on my 2nd month of Plexus Slim and I have not lost 1 pound since starting. I have been working out on my lunch breaks and being more cautious of the food I eat. I drink my pink drink every day and take the accelerator. I recently added the ProBio in and haven't noticed any change. I don't know how some people claim this is changing their life, but the only thing it's changed for me is my pocketbook. I will NOT be ordering this again and I am very disappointed in my lack of results. Not sure how it's working so well for some or if it's just the "placebo effect." Regardless, I'm done with this.

I use the Plexus products. I have a lot of digestive issues that it has helped with. I haven't lost any weight but it makes me feel a lot better. I know some people it works for and some it doesn't just like everything else.

timone69

I am having awesome results! I have lost 20 pounds. I went from a size 12 to a 6. Better yet, I have severe hypoglycemia and have not had any problems with it since I started. I think it may not work for some and I also think some may use it thinking they can eat whatever they want with it, which isn't the case.

bsteves06

My co-worker used it and lost 33 pounds in about 6 months. she made an effort to eat healthier, but didn't exercise. her husband also lost weight on it and it helped him manage his diabetes. I ordered just the frink and am waiting on it to arrive. I'll post back in a few months any progess.

robinbacher

I'm currently on my 5th day of plexus and have gained 2 pounds. I eat extremely healthy, and exercise. I never eat fast food. I do have hashimoto's (autoimmune hypothyroidism) and autoimmune liver problems. The first two days on plexus I was extremely thirsty. The thirst has subsided but I am actually hungrier now than I was before. I do not eat sugar and I have been craving sugar ( I have not given in to that because of my autoimmune conditions) so I am really discouraged now. I have a difficulty time losing weight because of my hypothyroidism so I decided to add this in as a supplement hoping it would help. I am going to stick with it a little longer but so far with a two pound weight gain I am very unhappy.

CheerfulMom4

Are you taking the accelerator Robin? I've read quite a bit where it can make people retain water. Also that the accelerator is supposed to help raise your metabolism and can make you more hungry. Not sure, just some ideas. I haven't really taken the accelerator because I read so many things about it.
I stuck with it because it really has helped my digestive issues. I haven't really lost but my clothes fit better. I've read it can take some time to kick in so to speak. Tomorrow is 2 weeks for me.

luswart

I used it for about 3 months and in the beginning I lost 4 pounds but after 3 months I gained 6 pounds. i was disappointed with the results after one month and added the accelerator. However it made me sick and I quit taking them. My husband took them for 2 or 3 weeks however we found that his high blood pressure kept raising we did not understand what was causing this. The doctors raised his blood pressure meds and sent us to see the nutritionist and she had us make a food and drink log for a week. As soon as she saw that he was taking the accelerator she told us we needed to stop it immediately! We did and within 72 hours at his next doctor appointment they had to reduce his blood pressure meds. Our nutritionist said that accelerator was not good for people who have high blood pressure or lung problems.

kochj44

How many are experiencing weight gain? I drink PS every day past month gained 4 pounds someone said it can up to 60 days to get your body working. Is it the accelerator that causes water retention because I am only on PS? :ohwell:

I am a diet cokaholic. I started plexus because I heard it stopped sugar cravings which is my main issue. I started on it about 5 days ago and realized today, even with a weekend involved, I have not even thought about a diet coke or those homemade chocolate chip cookies out there on the counter. If it can at least get me off of sugar and start me on a new eating regiment it has done it's job. I have tried other things that didn't work, however, so I understand where the rest of you are coming from. Eating right is absolutely the best, but sometimes some of us just need a little help.:):flowerforyou:

Diet coke is actually worse than actual coke, as artificial sweeteners too! Do not drink diet anything!

But i believe it would work if one tried it. But don't expect to sit on you butt and eat pizza then weigh yourself and be disappointed that your not loosing weight. Not saying that those who commented that said they lost nothing and some gained did this. Im saying there are people out there that do this and expect the weight just to fall off or magically dissolve. This is here to help speed up process. Bodies are different. Im sure if one took the accelerator and drank the pink drink and had a 1500 calorie diet, maybe less, and exercised 5 6 days a week for an hour or 2 then one may see great results. But if you choose to stop the drink and pills you could gain the weight back but if you stick with the dieting, calorie counting, and exercising one could keep the weight off.

I may need to look into supplements and powdered drinks at bodybuilding website or GNC because i have major energy issues. i wake up feeling still tired and im not depressed by all means. I have a wonderful 14 month old son and just got engaged. The only thing im unhappy with is ive never dropped the baby weight. So i just started my transformation journey a couple weeks ago. Cut my calories to 1200 a day exercise, cardio 3 times a week and strength training 2 times and 2 rest days. I dont think Plexus would be my thing to take. but i will look into the IT works body wraps for toning after i loose weight, there maybe some loose skin.

But if something works for you by all means do it but dont just do that one thing. Change for the better so you dont always have to rely on that monthly shipment. How great would it be not only to have more money in your wallet but also to be able to say, "yes blank blank helped me start my journey through weight loss, and i got to a point were i was confident in myself that i no longer needed the help and that i, myself, could do this on my own from now on."

I tried Plexus (Slim/Accelerator) for six weeks starting last November and GAINED 10 lbs, so I stopped. When I called to cancel my automatic order, I requested my 60 day refund and was DENIED. They said it hadn't been 60 days, so I was no longer entitled to a refund since I was stopping the program 2 "prematurely". Nevermind that I had GAINED weight.

I let it go, muddled through the rest of December, and started 2014 with the same old resolution of weight loss. My weight did not fluctuate up or down after stopping Plexus.

In early March, I decided to try again. My friend was having great results, so I tried to convince myself that my previous weight gain was just "holiday crap". This time I added the X Factor, ProBio, and BioClense to the Slim/Accelorator combo.

That was about 3 weeks ago...I've gained an additional 5 lbs.

So.....now I'm FIFTEEN pounds heavier, out several hundred dollars, and was denied the 60 day refund the company flaunts.

I HATE THIS PRODUCT.

For the record, I walk my dog 1-2 miles about 4-5 times a week and I take an hour long Kickboxing or Boxing class 2-3 times a week. While I readily admit to having a terrible sweet tooth (that I consciously work to control), but for the most part, I eat pretty well.

I needed to lose about 50 lbs BEFORE Plexus. Now I need to lose 65.

I hope other Plexus investigators will find this review helpful.
