Yes, with a doctor's approval you can give it to children. The way plexus slim works is that it balances your body and that can mean MANY things. If you don't need to lose weight than you won't. If you do need to lose weight, than you will.
Again, for anyone reading this who is thinking about buying it. DO IT. You never know if you don't try.
This is what my doctor told me:
Plexus products must work for the majority if they can sell a 3 day sample and people see results. Otherwise that would be a huge business mistake.
He's right!
Like I said before , I went 6 months without seeing ANY changes in my body on the outside. What I did feel was more energy and fewer cravings, and less anxiety. MY BODY NEEDED 6 MONTHS TO BALANCE! It's not a quick fix at all.
Do the research on the ingredients for yourself and you will see how they work in your body and that will tell you why it is SAFE for anyone to drink the SLIM....which by the way is not a pill. It's a powder that you put into a bottle of water and drink once a day.
It's not crap, it's life-changing if you give it the time it needs.0 -
i was thinking of trying plexus and have read many different good things,until I came across your blog,so now I am confused adout the good and the bad

My husband has been on the slim drink for anout 5 weeks and his A1C (3 month average) went from 9.7 to 7.2 and i have the labs to,prove it. He is off of his anxiety medication rrom his open heart surgery and his mood is amazing. Myn11 year old granddaughter too was struggling with mood and is all smiles. I have ADHD and can focus so good at work withoutnthe horribile,side effects of medications. Plexus has changed our lives. We love it.
Uh...am I reading this wrong, or are you saying that you're giving your 11 year old granddaughter diet pills?? Did anyone else catch that?
I can't believe some of the stuff I'm reading on this thread, this is obviously such a scam...as someone else pointed out, the most glowing reviews are being written by people who have only ever posted on this one thread. Coincidence?
If anyone reading this thread is actually thinking of trying this crap, I suggest you should pay greater attention to the people who had negative reactions to it and/or gained weight. Even though the good reviews are making this out to be a wonder drug cure-all, nothing works like that. If it did, it would be real medicine prescribed by doctors, and not some stupid diet shake or whatever this is. :laugh:
Ok so what your saying is that any product that has ever had a bad review is not worth trying?????
That pretty much eliminates every single thing on the planet....OY VEY!0 -
It works!!!!!!!!! I started with the 3 day trial and in 7 hours i seen results. Tighter belly and it was less hanging. I just had a baby 2 months ago. I was going on vacation a week before I started. I lost 10lb in that week with just the 3 day trial. I took it one day and the next i would just drink lots of water. It worked for me. Look at my profile picture. that's me in just one week i lost 10lb!!!!!!!
Results in 7 hours.
:huh: :noway: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
I know and this is why they all think us crazy Pink Drinkers are bad! UGH IDIOTS!!!!0 -
I know some people who sell this stuff and they push it by showing you the big house, the Lexus in the driveway, and the trips they take---wonder where they got all that money? MLM schemes all work the same. People would be better off spending the $$$ on a Vitamix and buying some fruits and vegetables and drinking a healthy smoothie a couple of times a day instead of downing some caffeine and who knows what else that's in Plexus Slim. That's what I'm doing, and I'm losing weight, my digestion is much improved, and I feel better. My husband is pre-diabetic, and it has helped him keep,his blood sugar stable. Balance your body? What does that even mean? Your body wants real food, not some crap invented by a get-rich-quick pyramid company.0

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!
I don't understand how you can give someone a recommendation to continue trying to use something when you give this type of review.
And even moreso, considering that added bonus of a second post stating it made you jittery and sick to your stomach.
OP, please don't use this. It sounds like total bull.
Edit to add: Just read through the first page and you continue to promote this product considering that you made SIGNIFICANT changes to your lifestyle (cutting out fast food, soda and carbs plus exercising an hour a day is not slight!!) and yet it still made you gain...... SERIOUSLY woman, just STAWP!!! Listen to what you're saying!! how does this make sense??? 2 people you know lost, yet you and a host of others gained while doing things which would have otherwise resulted in a loss... and you're still saying "go for it"????
OP... please don't do it... cancel the order and just do the lifestyle change0 -

Which doctor is it that told you it was safe to give this to your 11 year old grandchild? Can I have his/her name and address please?0 -

No, lol I'm saying that just because someone comes on the internet and gives something a wonderful review doesn't mean it's real, or true, or accurate. Look I can do it too:
"I started eating a dodo bird for dinner every night, and in a week my arthritis disappeared! Everyone eat dodo birds for dinner!"
There, I wrote it on the internet so it must be true :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:0 -
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.
Totally agree.0 -
"I started eating a dodo bird for dinner every night, and in a week my arthritis disappeared! Everyone eat dodo birds for dinner!"
Fred Flintstone ate a lot of dodo as well, and he was the picture of health. That was before they were fed GMO soybeans, of course, though.

I have never really been into forums...but since I have been researching this product- thought I would just add my 2cents, give or take. First, I am NOT an ambassador nor sell this product in any way. My daughter (25 yo)- also not an ambassador- gave me samples to try. She has had great results; however, she also changed her eating habits and exercises. Many lbs were lost at first- but, she was very overweight- now it is primarily inches. Plexus seems to simply be part of her getting healthy- and, if it is working for her, then I am happy. Me, I am 47 years old- have never been obese and in earlier years was a fitness instructor, etc. My issue has been being tired and lack of energy to exercise when I get home in the evenings and "sinking" spells during the day. I am a hospice nurse- my day starts really early and I get home really late. My schedule has enabled a few extra lbs to creep up and I am disgusted I have not had the energy to do anything working out wise out to defy gravity or lbs. Now, I am 5'8.5 at 146lb- garden in my back yard- I can veggies, don't drink sodas but once in a blue moon and I try to make smart fast food choices when I have to eat it. My daughter halved her Plexus Slim and Accelerator with me. Three weeks later- I have not "lost" any weight (nor have I regularly exercised); however, my concentration is better and my energy and mood have improved. The ingredients in Plexus list a lot of B vitamins and other herbs though not FDA approved or "scientifically" proven to shed weight- are sold separately in health food stores for varying diet supplementation for unlimited reasons. I personally "like" the way Plexus makes me feel- the price I HATE. However, if I bought each one of the ingredients separately and then remembered to take all those supplements, it would not be pleasant or cheap either. All bodies are different, all metabolisms are different. Everyone has an opinion. As much as I hate to, I will probably buy more- and, get out my swiss ball and dumb-bells for the body transformation....but, be kind to others when they are seeking information. Some of the posts here are just down right cruel.0

I have been taking plexus slim & accelerator for 30 days now and I only lost 2lbs sadly but I took pictures of before and after and I can see a difference I usually work out but was slacking this past month and not eating so healthy I'm not giving up yet I feel great going to stick to drinking lots of water haven't drank any soda juices etc since I've been taking plexus I don't crave sweets like I used to so there is some benefits I'm just hoping for better results for the month to come0

I lost 40 lbs on Plexus 2 years ago. I did not crave sweets, fried foods, sodas or any of that stuff. The accelerator really helped. I changed my way of eating. However, after I got off, I ate some sweets during the holidays and ate way too much. I have since gained 20 lbs back and I feel like 20 is more than the 40.
I am going to order it again and start over. Only this time when I reach my weight loss goal, I will not slip back into the bad eating habits I did before.
My niece just started selling it and I know 3 others that sell it as well as use it and are doing great.0 -
I used to sell Plexus - when they had the original Accelerator. I lost 20 lbs and was so happy and looking good. Then they changed the formula to the then new Accelerator+. I plateaued, gained 5 lbs, lost all my customers, all my ambassadors and my extra income I desperately needed. I quit buying and now I've gained back even more lbs. I eat very healthy and as little processed food as possible. I struggle to exercise regularly bc of my hypoglycemia and depression. I'm very, very upset that they changed it. I thought there was finally something that could really help me. Now they've changed the Accelerator+ to Boost. I can't take either one bc just one pill will give me light-headed jitters all day and drop my blood sugar too low. The whole point of Plexus Slim is to balance blood sugar. It certainly never helped me with my hypoglycemia.0

My pic is my plexus testimonial from last year.0

I tried the three day sample of Plexus a month ago and gained 5 lbs after. I had been going back and forth on whether I wanted to try a month's supply or not because of this. I bought it and started today and only took the Slim. I have felt strange all day, random feelings of hot and cold , strange twinges of pain in my chest and hard to swallow. I have been checked previously and have no thyroid issues. Also drank all of the water recommend. Anyone else even experienced this?0

This product is a SCAM! They ban and delete ANY negative feedback on any facebook or other pages. I actually gained five pounds and I was drinking water,exersicing,eating healthy. I became very bloated. I quit taking it and within a week lost 7 pounds. Another friend has been taking it for two months and has yet to lose any weight. I have joined plexus groups and as soon as you ask as to why it's not working you are deleted. Something is seriously wrong with this company! I spent over $100 dollars and couldn't get a refund because I didn't try it for 60 days! If it was making me gain weight of course I'm not going to keep taking it. And everyone posting "give it time,yada yada" Are ambassadors only out to make a buck,this is OBVIOUSLY A SCAM!!!0

A few have. But they are all deceased, now.0 -
This stuff doesn't work at all. There is a reason that the only positive reviews you can find for it on the internet are from people who are selling it.0

Ok, so... I have read almost all the post on here and I have some info to share. First I took plexus for 6 months to help me get to a better for my wedding. I love it for many reasons. First, it helped me make better choices at the table, I also had a more regular digestion and that's a big deal for me I have chronic constipation. Also I craved WATER which was awesome. As far as weight I did not weigh myself because I have never succeeded at weigh loss usinga scale. I'm 5 '10 and and when I'm less that 175 lbs I look SICK. I did measures, I went from a 22/24 wedding dress to a 16/18 I was so grateful am an ambassador and how I settle refunds is if you dont like it you get your money back based on what I get back. So if you bought 2 months worth and only used on I bought back the rest because I could sell it as a sample pack.
For those that are thinking of taking it here's my advice. Drink plenty of water because that is going to help flush your system. Also, its not a miracle supplement it takes time, losing weight to quickly is dangerous and does not teach you anything about living a healthier lifestyle. Next, get off the couch. I have a sit down job and its tough to get some exercise in. Walk for 30 mins to an hour a day. You like the walking dead or some other show that's an hour? Walk in place while watching or clean off the treadmill. Remember this product ot telp you achieve a healthy body weight. So if you ate a size 6 looking to be a 0 this product is not for you. A side not my best friend is small like that and has/had terrible hypertension for 20 years! And now has no issues and doesn't take meds for it anymore. It is great to take with a multivitamin for overall health reasons. And people I did not become an ambassador until it worked for me and it does work for SOME but not ALL.0 -
By the way if you see tons of typo sorry my Internet is screwed up and is makin a mess of my post.0

Aussie government folks don't like Plexus.

10 years ago, I was diagnosed with Restless Leg Syndrome. 5 years ago, I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia. I am sure the RLS was actually the FM and that I have had it for about 15 years but couldnt pinpoint what it was. After 3 weeks of not being able to get to bed before 5 or 6 am and sleeping all day, someone told me Plexus would help me with my FM. So I started researching it. Price was the first thing I sought out to answer. Once I had that, I began looking into what Plexus was and how it was suppose to help with my FM. I learned first and foremost about Candida Overgrowth (yeast). Once I seen the symptoms of CO, (that they are VERY similar to FM symptoms) I began looking into how Plexus was supposed to take care of that...by detoxing my body. Then I began learning about Magnesium Deficiency and how Plexus helps with that. I immediately signed up as an ambassador. I didnt start as a customer, because, well, I simply couldnt afford it that way. I told my husband to give me 1 month. If after 1 month, it didnt work, I would quit. That was just over 2 months ago.
With my FM, besides not sleeping, I had no energy to do anything and spent most of my "day" in bed or on the sofa watching TV. I was depressed and hated going anywhere because my anxiety and panic attacks in crowded places scared me. I didnt even enjoy doing the things I use to do and I always wanted to be at church at least 30-45 minutes early, to get there before a bunch of people were there so I didnt have one of these attacks at church, walking into a crowded room. I was always tired and could have probably slept ALL day or a very large portion of it, if I had wanted to. My RLS made me feel like if I had stabbed my hips with a steak knife, surely it wouldnt hurt near as bad. The migraines often took me to the emergency room.
Within a week (actually more like 4-5 days) on Plexus, I felt great. 9 weeks tomorrow and I have been on the products. I take Slim, Probio5, BoCleanse, Boost, X Factor and the Plexus 96 protein replacement shakes usually 3 or 4 times a week. What have I lost? My insomnia, fatigue, migraines, RLS, depression, anxiety/panic attacks, 27 lbs, 20 inches and 2 pant sizes. What have I gained? Energy, wonderful sleep, normal hours and as a result of people seeing how well I am doing/my results...some new friends, because I am more outgoing now and the depression and anxiety is gone.
Is Plexus for everyone, probably not. Will you have the same results that I have, I dont know. Each person is different, metabolisms vary from person to person. What do I think of the products? I Love them! They gave me my life back. Am I cured? Probably not. But as long as I watch what I eat, get a little exercise (just from walking around the house and now my new 8-5 job that I start next week), I know I can take control of this instead of it having control of me.
I agree that there are less expensive alternatives out there. But someone once told me, if I were to buy all the supplements that is in Plexus individually (and then remembered to take them all), that I would be spending more than what I am with Plexus. I didnt sign up to lose weight (though I have a pound or two that I could lose ...lol) but the weight is coming off and I feel great. I am not a salesperson and to date have 3 people who have bought from my website (and those have been within the last week). I am anxious to see (hear) their results and am hoping that they feel as amazing as I do.
It has a 60 day money back guarantee, so with nothing to lose (except the fatigue, insomnia, weight, etc) and everything to gain...if it works for you great! If not, you get a refund and move on down the road, none the worse for wear. I enjoy showing people how they too, can improve their health and love hearing success stories from all walks of life.0 -
The weight people lose with Plexus is due to dietary changes. Come on, man.0

I am currently pregnant so iwont try it, however i do plan to start using this product after i have the baby. I have done several weight loss regimiens however i tend to get comfortable and slack til i gain all of my weight back.
Anyways, this works for some and doesn't for others just like th emillions of products out there. You simply have to try it yourself. Good luck on your journey..
I want to be 145. I am almost 7 mos and weigh 205 so i have a ways to go!!!0 -
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.
^^^ this x1000 ^^^0 -
Did y'all read the part about Plexus being a serious risk to your health and should not be taken (from the Aussie government)? Don't you trust the Aussie scientists? :noway:
Edited to add additional quote. Bleeding in the brain is a no-joke side effect.
"Plexus slim accelerator pill bottle Plexus Slim Accelerator capsules and Plexus Slim Accelerator 3 Day Trial pack pose a serious risk to your health and should not be taken."
"Risks associated with its use include high blood pressure, psychiatric disorders, bleeding in the brain and stroke."

WOW, this was very informative, thanks, i am not looking for a quick fix, i eat right, log calories, work out,and strength train, and i know as i get older it takes longer to lose so i wanted to try it.... guess ill stick to m chia seed shakes! 0

I used it last year along with the old accelerator and I think it helped me lose 25 pounds along with using mfp. It helped curb my appetite and my taste buds changed. They since have changed the formula of plexus slim and created the new accelerator which I can't take and the new slim doesn't work for me.0
