So are milk-drinkers like a cult, or what?1

A friend sells plexus. My wife bought into it, bought the little jug that you drink it from, the whole nine yards. I had just reached my goal through MFP, but my wife insisted on going the Plexus route. Not just for weight loss, but for all the other "health" advantages.
Fast forward a year.
I'm still logging, maintaining, etc., and have not seen my weight vary from my goal more than 3 lbs. I'm currently 1 lb under goal.
Meanwhile, my wife saw absolutely no changes, no health improvement, no weight loss, nothing which was promised.
She stopped pouring money down that drain.
We are still friends with the sales person, but the product is never mentioned.

I blew nearly $200 a month ($50 of that was shipping to Aus) on Plexus. I stuck with it for 6mths, saw no weight loss, didn't feel any healthier or different, It was a colossal waste of money!!
I got sucked in by my "friends" Faceache posts. You'll see great reviews from all the ambassadors, but not one person who i kept in contact with who was also using it lost any weight either.5 -
Thought Plexus was a car manufacturer.13

Cool haven't gotten through half the page, and found out this product helps unborn babies, gluten allergy, lactose allergy, chronic neck pain, diabetes, and so on. This stuff is a miracle worker that no doctor knows about! Oh I forgot about joint pain, and ADHD!
Don't forget about the stellar grammar from the Plexus devotees.7 -
A friend from HS just started selling this on Facebook. She had gotten off Facebook, in 2014, then just a few weeks ago I got a friend request from her...thought nothing about it and accepted her (even if we don't talk and haven't in at least 7 years). Then all of her posts were about Plexus and "Sip and Sees'. I'd like to tell her where she can shove that stuff...but I think I may have to unfriend her again. I HATE scams. I'm tired of people telling me "this, that, the other" is the best way to lose weight. You know what...the only one way to lose weight is to reduce what you eat and move more. That's it. That's the magic.
I had a bartender tell me one day that green coffee crap (I know it has a name, Garblahblah, or something) was going to be her answer. I tried to tell her that crap doesn't work but she wouldn't listen. I told her to go ahead for 3 months and in November when we come in tell me how it works. Because i know it won't...1 -

Also, if lactose is bad for everyone, you would think that the countries with the highest consumption would have the most people with intolerance? That's not the case though.

Milk has never been good for cats.
Tell that to my cat!
Just because your cat drinks it, still doesn't make it good for them. :-/1 -
Did anyone else see this yesterday? I think it may apply here.

If the cat drinks it, likes it, and has zero issues with it then it is fine for the cat. Just like it is fine for the vast majority of people.3 -

All MLM are scams that make a few people wealthy. Be it Market America or Scam way, or Herbalife.

The only place I lost weight when I tried Plexus was in my bank account. It made my migraines worse and more frequent. And when I cancelled, they kept sending me product; I returned it, and they held the return until it was past the 60 day money back period.
You're better off flushing your $200 down the toilet, IMO.3 -

Once we're weaned from our mothers our body eliminates the digestive enzyme needed to break down milk sugars, we no longer need it. Humans are the only species that continue to consume milk from a different species so our bodies react in one of two ways.... either adapt with slight symptoms from time to time or become intolerant, which is why there are thousands and thousands of humans who are lactose intolerant. But hey, it's all good... just take a pill and keep consuming the dairy because we all know "Milk does a body good". And when you get side effects from that pill, keep drinking the milk and take another pill for that side effect... and so on, and so on...
The end
Holy h.e.l.l. what a load of crap.

"ProBio5 will typically provide the following results…jock itch, migraine headaches, recurring cystitis/vaginal infections"
i mean, who doesn't want to pay how-much??? per month to ensure that they have all those things?0
