"Plexus is a Scam!"







Ok, so this has been bothering for some time. As you know, I am a Plexus ambassador. I am also a “product of the product” meaning I use Plexus. Occasionally, I will Google Plexus to see what others are saying about it. There are several Plexus bashers out there. I have read things like Plexus was banned, Plexus is poison, Plexus almost killed me and one person even stated it made her foam at the mouth! Some people will say, “I was on Plexus for two weeks and didn’t lose any weight so it’s nothing but another scam.” Well you know what, I didn’t lose weight in two weeks either. In fact, my scale has not moved much in three months. But that’s okay and let me explain to you why.

Plexus is marketed as a weight loss product. It has helped thousands of people lose weight. But you have to understand the way it helps people lose weight is it balances blood sugars and helps to reduce cravings. So when the blood sugar is in balance there are no more sugar highs and sugar crashes. 

I don’t crave chocolate anymore; I don’t really crave sweets of any kind anymore. That is why this works to help people lose weight. It helps them get control over the cravings so they can make better food choices. So Plexus is not a “magic pill or potion.” Plexus is a tool you can use to finally get yourself on track. You have to WANT to make the change and you have to let the products work. Remember this does not happen overnight.

So what about me. I said the scale has not moved much and it hasn’t. But the other changes in my body are fantastic. I have lost some inches. But the biggest things I have noticed are I sleep great, I don’t have knee pain, my mood has stabilized, I feel more motivated to participate in life, I can deal with stress much better, my plantar fasciitis is almost gone, my neck pain is gone and I have full range of motion in my neck now. I used to get terrible shin splints from walking even a short distance. The shin splints are now gone. So why did all this happen? On top of controlling your cravings and balancing your blood sugars, Plexus also reduces inflammation in your body. When inflammation is gone, so is the pain. Not having pain every day is life changing for me.

My mission now is to start eating healthier and begin to exercise. The great thing is I can now begin an exercise program because the underlying cause of my pain is gone!

What about all those horrible side effects other people have claimed to have? Most of these were either made up or highly exaggerated. Did I have side effects when I started Plexus? I did have loose bowels for a few days but that was okay because I am normally constipated. On a couple of occasions, I had some nausea. Was that caused by Plexus or did I get a touch of the gastro bug that was going around at work? Who knows? But after two months taking the products consistently I can honestly say I have never felt better.

Is Plexus for everyone? Probably not. Just like prescription medicine, there could be something in Plexus that you may be sensitive to.  Does Plexus work overnight? Absolutely not. It takes most people several weeks of consistent use to see a difference. You have to understand that it is trying to correct what is wrong inside of you. You didn’t get your body messed up overnight and it will take a while to get it back on track.

The Plexus triplex combo is what will give you the best results. This consists of the pink drink, biocleanse capsules and an amazing probiotic. This combo promotes gut health. A healthy gut leads to a healthy body. Don’t believe me? Research gut health for yourself and find out what researchers are saying.

Finally, one thing I hear all the time is “Won’t I gain all my weight back once I quit taking Plexus?” That is up to you. If you stop taking Plexus and fall back into bad eating habits and not exercising yes, you will gain it all back. But as for me I don’t ever plan on stopping Plexus. What? Why would I take something forever? Because it is good for me.

Consider this, if you went to the doctor tomorrow and were diagnosed with diabetes, high blood pressure and high cholesterol, your doctor would prescribe medication right? Would you stop taking those medications after a few months because you felt better? No, you would be expected to be on those medications for the rest of your life. In reality, as the years go by you will likely be on even more medications.  Medications have side effects that can cause other health problems which in turn will require additional medications.  So if I can avoid health problems and avoid being on medications I will take Plexus for the rest of my life!

The only way to know for sure if Plexus works for you is to try it yourself. You can order from my website at shopmyplexus.com/lucindareynolds

However, if you are considering starting Plexus or any other supplement I would suggest you consult with your doctor. Give him/her a list of ingredients and let him/her decide if Plexus is safe for you. I know of many doctors who have approved Plexus and there are lots of doctors who take it themselves.

If you have any questions about Plexus feel free to leave a question in the comment section and I will do my very best to answer!





How Does the Plexus Pink Drink Work?









Plexus Slim DrinkPlexus Slim is one of the first products developed by PlexusWorldwide. You may have heard of this referred to as the pink drink. Simply mix one Plexus Slim packet in a bottle of water and drink once a day. The drink tastes a bit like a cherry tootsie pop. So what can a little packet of pink do for you? Why would something like this work?

Chromium as in Chromium Polynicotinate is the one of the main ingredients in the Plexus Slim drink. Chromium is one of the most common elements found in the earth’s crust and in seawater. There have been many studies on the effects of Chromium and blood sugars. These studies can be traced back to the 1950’s which it was suggested that Brewer’s Yeast, which contains small amounts of Chromium, could prevent diabetes in experimental animals.

Since then, scientists have been doing studies on Chromium and diabetes. There have been several studies that have proven that supplementation with Chromium can help stabilize blood sugars. Those who have Type 2 diabetes found that after taking Chromium supplements their Hb1C levels were lower.

It is important to know that the Chromium found in Plexus Slim is Chromium Polynicotinate.  Most Chromium supplements will be in the form of Chromium picolinate. While these may work, they are not as effective as Chromium polynicotinate, which is a niacin bound Chromium. The scientists behind the development of Plexus Slim knew that studies show Chromium that is bound with niacin is absorbed better and is more efficient.


So scientists have proven that Chromium aids in glucose control and insulin resistance in the body. What happens when you get your blood sugars under control? You lose weight, you stop craving sugar and you feel 100% better. That is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to what Plexus Slim may do for you.

Is Plexus Expensive?

www.shoopmyplexus.com/lucindareynolds
One of the first questions that always comes to mind seems to be “Is Plexus Expensive?” This is a fair question and it was one I had myself. When people ask me that question I always say it is impossible for me to answer it for them.
It is impossible for me to answer that question accurately for every person. What really needs to be asked is “What price do you put on your health?” Do you consider your body to be your temple? Do you have a desire to go into your golden years still able to do the things you could when you were young? Do you want to be around to see your children and their children grow up? These things must all be considered before you worry about how much Plexus costs.
After I tried the Plexus products and discovered everything they could do for me, the question of “Is Plexus expensive” never came to mind. If fact, I considered the cost of Plexus to be quite reasonable, because for the first time in almost 10 years I had no knee pain. My neck pain was gone, my mood was so much better, I was losing inches and I had so much more energy! I had lost my taste for sweets, which was a big deal because I loved chocolate.
I can’t put a price on your desires in life. I can’t tell how much weight loss, more energy, balanced blood sugars, decreased inflammation, better sleep, etc. costs. That is for you to decide. If you don’t put value on better health for yourself, then Plexus may be too expensive for you. But if you truly want to feel better, then give Plexus a try.
