Why plexus??

Let's start with the Plexus Slim...

Plexus Slim

SOMEtimes this can take a little time! It's important to remember that Plexus works from the inside out. It balances out whatever might be out of whack in your body - So sometimes we might need to be patient and give it time to work = Amazing results.
Slim doesn't burn muscle so it's safe for someone who DOESN'T NEED to lose weight to drink if they choose to for health reasons...

Your blood sugar might affect more than you think...

(More about some of the key ingredients later)

I think it tastes best in very cold water, but you can mix it in warm, room temp, or cold.
You can take it at ANY time during the day! You can take it before or after breakfast, or any meal. Maybe you get up for work at 10pm - that's ok you can still take it before you eat.
You don't HAVE to gulp it down, but do try to drink it within 20-30 minutes to get it into your system.

A few more tips...

Success Tips

You MUST take Plexus EVERY DAY for it to work. You can't skip days and expect it to do it's job within your body. This applies to almost all of the Plexus products that you choose to take.
There's almost no "wrong way" to take Plexus, but ideally, if you take it before breakfast on an empty stomach that will help to ensure proper absorbtion.. but IF it isn't working for YOU, then mix it up and try taking it after, or just before lunch. You will still see and feel benefits!
I love the flavor... if you object there's many things you can try...

Add lemon juice

You can mix in Lemon or Lime Packets or flavored Stevia drops...

Add Slim to UNsweetened Cranberry juice

Add Slim to carbonated or sparkling water

Add Slim to UNsweetened ice tea

Add lime juice to make a cherry limeaid!

Take it as a shot in 2-3 oz. of water if you want to take it all at once and get it down quickly.

You can even mix the Slim powder in some UNsweetened applesauce

Mix the Slim powder in some unflavored yogurt. I would recommend 0% Fage Yogurt which is an all natural unsweetened yogurt.

More Success Tips...

Drink half your body weight in ounces of water each day - As you lose weight, you can drink less water!

Plexus Slim and water is a very powerful weight Loss combination.

Plexus Slim tries to detox your body so drinking water throughout the day helps to flush out the toxins it's breaking down. We don't want to trap those toxins inside and

In addition to breaking down toxins, getting enough water will also help to oxygenate and SHRINK the fat cells and really allows Plexus to do its job.

drinking 1/2 our body weight in oz. of water each day (or doing the BEST we can!) helps flush them out. In addition to breaking down toxins, getting enough water will also help to oxygenate and SHRINK the fat cells and really helps Plexus to be effective.

The next success tip is to start your day with breakfast. Breakfast is your starting point for losing fat for the rest of the day. It helps to kick start your metabolism and HELPS you to lose weight.

It's very important to understand that Plexus is NOT a meal replacement in any way - If we don't eat throughout the day and get enough calories this slows down our metabolism and our bodies will more than likely go into survival mode and cling onto fat or make it difficult to lose weight.

Start your day with a

healthy breakfast

Before you start, weigh and measure
Weigh/Measure at the same time each time for accuracy
Measure weekly
Weigh in the morning, after you go to the bathroom, and before you eat, drink or shower (Just once or twice a month!!).

Taking before photos of your full body, side and front, and of your face is also a good idea. Sometimes the scale might not be moving as fast as we want it to.. BUT when you look at your before photos you can often see a big difference!

These images really shows the importance of measuring and not going overboard with the scale.

Keep in mind the scale weighs EVERYTHING from fat to muscle, to waste & undigested food, to water weight.

Mary Lynn Miller was a guest on the weekly Plexus Opportunity Call last week. She said that she only weighs once or 2x a month, and she has only lost 8-9 plbs, but OVER 20" so far from April to August!!!

"Don't forget to measure"

"Choose Healthy Snacks and Snack Often"
You might have heard before that we should eat 6 small meals a day.. the theory is right.. but snacks, not "meals"!

I'm not a nutritionist but a few good suggestions are:

A handful of nuts
Veggies
An apple/other

A high protein bar (watch sugar content)
Plexus 96 Protein shakes

This will help to keep our metabolism going!

So what if you're really not losing weight?

First of all, don't give up too quickly. So what's my idea of "too quickly"?? Well, I know that it would be nice to lose 10, 20, 50 pounds in a week (I know that's a slight exaggeration, but that WOULD be nice!) So is "too quickly" 2 weeks? Is it 2 months? Is it 6 months? ....It really just depends on how out of balance your system is, how much you need to lose, and what you need.

I'm your sponsoring Ambassador and I'm here to help you! Or if you're a guest or customer on the call - again - your sponsoring Amb. is there to help you on your Plexus journey.

Let's consider more success tips...

How long have you CONSISTENTLY been on Plexus, and do you take it EVERY day? THIS IS SO IMPORTANT! If someone is trying to lose weight or use it for pain management or other health benefits and you skip days, it more than likely won't work, or will at least slow your results.

Sometimes we think we're taking it every day... then when we think about it sometimes we find that we're running late for work & forgot one day.. or we get the flu and skip 3-4 days... then we take it every day for 2 weeks then forget a day... just be sure you're taking it every day.

Are you drinking enough water??

Remember that drinking 1/2 your wt. in oz. of water each day, or doing the best that you can, helps to oxygenate and SHRINK the fat cells. It also helps to flush any waste and toxins that the Slim is helping to break down!

Do you have any Candida yeast overgrowth symptoms?? Candida can result in...

Slow or NO weight loss
Extreme sugar/carb cravings
Anxiety
Irritability
Lethargy
Allergies
Acne or dry/flaky skin
Migraines
Many more symptoms!

Candida really is the silent epidemic because it is SO COMMON! Google "Candida" and "leaky gut" to learn more, and later I'll tell you how to kill it.

If you've been drinking Plexus for a long time now, try changing up when you take the drink mix and the Accelerator+ or Boost (if you're also taking one of those)...

If you've been taking the drink every morning at 7, try taking the Accelerator+ or Boost (with something to eat) in the morning, then take the drink before lunch or dinner. Sometimes our body gets used to something and we need to change things around.

If you have been on the Accelerator+ for months... give your body a break. Stop the Accelerator for 7 days then get back on it, but DON'T stop taking the Pink Drink.

More >

Instead of maybe taking TWO Accelerators/Boost capsules in the morning, take 1 after breakfast, AND then one after or with LUNCH!
You can add a 2nd packet of Slim later in the day - 2 Slims a day are in NO way required and you won't get double the benefits, but you will get another 30-40% more benefit if you need or want it.

Have you tried the Plexus x-factor multi-vitamin?

It isn't "required" to "lose weight" on Plexus but some people do experience better weight loss once they start on it. It contains Aloe which helps the nutrients we take in to actually absorb up to 300% more and work like they're supposed to!

The fab 5!

The Boost or Accelerator+ is not

If you're having no or slow weight loss try adding the team of products that will work to cleanse, detoxify, energize AND enhance absorption of vitamins and minerals. It just depends on what YOUR system needs.

heart problems or high blood

pressure and/or check with your

required. Do not take if you have

dr. before starting.

Are you exercising or working out?

If you are, remember this ADDS muscle so the scale might make it look like you're gaining, and it might feel like you are gaining weight while your body is really adjusting things around, and is actually melting the fat away!

If you're not exercising and not losing weight on Plexus - try walking 3-6 days a week. This is good for everyone and might be what your body needs to help kick your metabolism into gear!

I know this is something I personally need to do!

Are you on any medications?

Sadly some medications can interfere with weight loss.

It might take longer to notice weight loss if you're on prescription drugs or medication - so be patient and don't give up!

Always check with your dr. before stopping or decreasing any prescriptions you're on.

If the scale isn't going down as fast as you would like, but you’re lowering your heart rate, reducing belly fat, or improving your cholesterol numbers. Start taking measurements so you can see how your body composition is changing by shedding fat and building lean muscle when your weight stays the same.

Do you notice any other health benefits???

For me...

I have Rheumatoid Arthritis, possible fibromyalgia and Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome, so fatigue and a lack of energy is a major problem. Plexus has given me the energy I need to just get through my day.

My Arthritis pain has decreased by 90-95% since I starting taking Plexus.

I used to get TERRIBLE AWFUL migraines and I haven't had one since I started taking Plexus....

(Sorry for TMI to the "guys" on the call! :) I've had a non-existant cycle for the most part of 20 years due to my PCOS condition, but my period has been almost like clockwork just one month after I started Plexus.

I'd say these are non-scale VICTORIES!

I've seen countless numbers of people have huge success with losing weight & inches with Plexus!

Let's go over some of the key ing's to see why it works...

Plexus Slim Key Ingredients

While Plexus wasn't created to treat or cure these things, we can see how this ing. in the Slim can help us!

Next Plexus Slim Key Ingredient is:

Weight loss / Increases metabolism
Regulates blood Sugar
For Diabetes
May lower blood pressure

Boost or Accelerator+ is the next product...

Designed to speed up weight loss, which one you take really depends on what you

want, and which one is better for YOUR system...

If you're a nursing/pregnant mother or have some existing health, heart or high blood pressure conditions, check with your dr. before taking Accelerator+ or Boost.

Designed as a companion to the Slim, it works WITH the Slim to "Accelerate" or speed up the effects of the Slim to lose weight, so be sure to take within 30 minutes after drinking your Slim. It contains ing.'s known to help reduce body fat and suppress appetite.

In the morning, take 1-2 capsules (after breakfast) with one pack of Plexus Slim (or take 1 with breakfast and 1 with lunch). Take with food and don't take too late in the day b/c it might keep you awake or interfere with your sleep.

Accelerator+ Key Ingredients are:

Higenamine comes from the Lotus plant. Research has shown that Higenamine may help with the suppression of body weight gain and helps to suppress appetite.

Research has shown that Hordenine, which comes from Barley (which promotes healthy blood sugar levels and weight loss!) has thermogenic properties that also may help in weight loss and increased energy.

Accelerator+ Key Ingredients are:

Hawthorn improves and enhances circulation and nutrition to the heart, improving the function of the heart muscle and increases energy overall.

Yerba Mate helps to stimulate focus/clarity, boosts energy and supports weight loss!

Chromium Picolinate

Accelerator+ Key Ingredients are:

Green Tea Extract assists in weight loss and increases the rate of metabolism of fat, prevents inflammation, controls blood sugar and helps to lower the LDL (bad) cholesterol.

Every time we eat, our bodies release a hormone called insulin. Insulin originates in our pancreas and plays a part in supplying our body with glucose...

Chromium helps insulin carry glucose to the body's cells, so Chromium has an important role in properly breaking down fat and glucose, and helps process carbohydrates and fats, helping with cravings and weight loss!

Accelerator+ Key Ingredients are:

Chromium Picolinate

Accelerator+ Key Ingredients are:

5-HTP

5-HTP reduces bad eating behaviors, reduces calorie intake, and promotes weight loss. Elevated serotonin levels appear to improve mood as well as reduce appetite.

5-HTP might have interactions with anti-depressants or any medications that increases/regulates serotonin level. Consult your doctor before taking any product containing 5-HTP. If a person is restricted to taking 50mgs of 5-HTP or less per day, one (1) capsule of Accelerator+ would not exceed this limit.

Just like the Suggested Use on the Accelerator, take 1-2 capsules in the morning w/ breakfast.. or you can try taking 1 with breakfast and 1 with lunch. Some have found that splitting it up increases their energy throughout the day. Don't take too late in the day!

Or you can try Plexus BOOST...

Suggested Use: Take 2 capsules a day with or right after breakfast or lunch. Some have found that splitting it up & taking 1 after breakfast and 1 after lunch helps to increase their energy throughout the day.

"NOT your typical OTC store bought vitamin! This high quality multivitamin will help you to actually absorb nutrients, better"

According to WebMD, Black Currant, amongst other things, is used for boosting the immune system, treating coughs, colds, and whooping cough, is a disinfecting agent for the urine, promotes urine flow, and is used as a cleansing agent.

This is the ONLY Plexus product that contains natural & artificial flavors & sweeteners for coloring. If this bothers you, then simply don't promote this particular product - or you can give your customers all the facts, and let them make their own decision.

ProBio5 helps relieve sugar cravings, inexplicable fatigue or bloating, anxiety and “brain fog.”

If you decide to take 2-4 a night, start slow. Take 1-2 a night for apprx. 5 days, then take 3 a night for 5 days, and if you decide to take 4 then take 4 at bedtime until desired results achieved.
(Review the information on our Plexus web site to learn more - Has tons of good information!)

This is what helps to kill Candida!

Most of our bodies are burdened with toxic waste and slow metabolism. BioCleanse is a gentle cleanse that helps to cleanse, energize & enhance weight loss. BC is NOT a laxative but it helps to relieve constipation. "Good regularity" plays an important role in weight loss & overall health!

Try 2 after lunch, and 2 after dinner. If that doesn't work for YOU, try 2 after breakfast and 2 after lunch.

If you're in a hurry with no time for breakfast...
Tempted to pick up a quick fast-food lunch...
You don't eat ENOUGH during the day...
Or maybe you're craving a "milk shake...
TRY PLEXUS 96!

Contains more than 20 vitamins and minerals for optimal nutrition. Delivers high-quality whey protein isolate and concentrate to help build lean muscle and fuel the body. Provides comprehensive amino acids for proper brain, muscle and energy function. Helps curb cravings and hunger and helps maintain optimal blood glucose levels!

I LOVE to blend mine w/ ice and unsweetened coconut milk, peanut butter, banana or strawberries or raspberries (Try a Butterfinger or Strawberry Smoothie... more recipes on my FB!)

The Plexus Body Cream was originally called "Dr. Spencer's Breast Cream" originally made to detoxify the breasts and to prevent cysts from forming, but it was found that it can do so much more.
A few ing.'s were updated/added, so it is now more appropriately called Plexus Body Cream.

It contains a powerful strain of Spirulina Algae (which detoxifies!), and Activated Charcoal (removes age-advancing toxins and impurities from the skin)
Combined with a rich blend of Aloe, Sweet Almond Oil, Grape Seed Oil, Evening Primrose Oil, Lavender Oil and Rosaceae Oil that soaks into the skin.
Excellent and so beneficial to keep around for daily use, or in case anything comes up.

Revitalizes the skin
