Rarely did I ever post any pictures of myself in the first year after my daughter was born because the weight did NOT come off like so many other mommas I know. I topped out at 201 lbs and despite being the healthiest I have ever been in my life with my nutrition and walking 5 miles a day, the weight painfully slowly came off over 12 months, however I was an uncomfortable size 8 and bigger than I used to be at my what used to be normal weight. Then a friend kept posting about Plexus, like everyone else I just thought what the heck is Plexus and yeah right it’s not all it’s cracked up to be – even still I was desperate to fit into my closet of clothes so I tried it. Beyond glad I did and grateful for that friend. I am now at the lowest weight in my adult life and a size 4 because of Plexus. I also used to suffer from complex migraines, which if you don’t know those mimic a stroke and they were super scary. After a full ER visit and CT scan and the works my neurologist put me on Topamax, an anti seizure med to control them because he said there is really no cure and they are unpredictable. I have not taken that med in over 2 months since starting Plexus and have not had a migraine, so I am extra thankful for that because I don’t like pharmaceutical drugs. ALL of these reasons above plus the changes and results I have personally seen in my family and friends is why I share Plexus. Not to mention that my Plexus paycheck this month is enough to pay our mortgage, that is definitely a wonderful thing!!

The Mechanics of Weight Loss

The body naturally stores fat. The most common areas are the stomach, thighs and buttocks. These excess fat stores contain toxins that cause havoc with our immune system. Ultimately this can lead to heart disease, diabetes, loss of energy, depression and many other debilitating conditions.

“Obesity in the U.S. is driving rising rates of diabetes and hypertension with stroke-causing conditions affecting almost 3 in 10 Americans. Excess weight increases the risk of developing heart disease, stroke and other serious conditions, according to the U. S. Center for Disease Control and Prevention.” Bloomberg News, October 2008

When used as part of a daily hydration regimen (1 stick pack per day), Plexus Slim promotes:

  • Loss of weight and inches by burning fat, not muscle
  • Healthy blood sugar levels
  • Healthy cholesterol and lipid levels
  • Healthy willpower over food choices
  • Free radical scavenging (reduces oxidative stress)

Plexus Slim is:

  • Safe, non-stimulatory and non-thermogenic
  • Diabetic friendly

Product Active Ingredients

Leveraging the research and experience of one of the world’s largest natural ingredient compounder, Plexus Slim harnesses the beneficial essence of 2 plant extract concentrates, provides proven effectiveness in slimming and provides beauty benefits. Compounded using a proprietary process, Plexus Slim possesses a unique composition. Its effectiveness has been clinically proven.

The two principle active ingredients in Plexus Slim are derivatives of chlorogenic acid and oxypregnane steroidal glycoside. Among other mechanisms, these two ingredients provide:

Fat metabolism —Chlorogenic acids are one of the major classes of phenolic compounds. They are present in a large variety of fruits and vegetables. They largely occur conjugated with quinic acid as in chlorogenic acid.

Appetite management — Oxypregnane steroidal glycoside is a benign plant extract. Several varieties of the plant exist, however, one species in particular exhibits extraordinary appetite management qualities.

Chlorogenic Acid

The benefits of Chlorogenic acids to our health have been demonstrated in numerous scientific studies. The study by Richelle et al. confirms the anti-oxidant power of Chlorogenic acids. Furthermore, it shows that the anti-oxidant power is approximately twice as superior to that of dark chocolate. The works of Bandyopadhyay et al. and Jiang et al. equally confirm the benefits of Chlorogenic acids to our health. Studies have shown that caffeic acid possesses a strong anti-oxidant power, notably limiting the oxidation of lipids in the liver. The Chlorogenic acid in Plexus Slim is a particular and unique composition and is guaranteed free of cafestol and kahweol and other harmful elements.

Oxypregnane Steroidal Glycoside

The hypothalamus is the part of the brain that regulates certain metabolic processes and other activities of the autonomic nervous system. It synthesizes and secretes neuro-hormones, often called hypothalamic-releasing hormones, and these in turn stimulate or inhibit the secretion of pituitary hormones. Its basic function is to control body temperature, hunger, thirst, fatigue, anger and circadian cycles (the body’s clock).

When food is consumed, blood sugar (glucose) levels increase, prompting the body to start sending signals to the brain that it is full. This causes the hypothalamus region of the brain to cease sending out signals that the body needs a further source of energy. Scientists in cooperation with the British company Phytopharm isolated a steroidal glycoside active ingredient they designated as P57. They discovered that the brain interprets the molecules in the chemical structure of P57 as molecules of glucose. This has the same effect on the hypothalamus as consuming large quantities of food.

The unique steroidal glycoside extract used in Plexus Slim is estimated to be 100,000 times more potent than glucose, so as soon as it is sensed by the hypothalamus, the body is ‘told’ that it is full, thus inhibiting overeating.

How exactly Plexus Slim works!

Image

By volume, five pounds of fat is lumpy, fluffy, and just plain takes up more space inside of your skin than five pounds of muscle. Additionally, fat has a way of finding the worst possible places to park itself, and doesn’t offer you all that much assistance when it comes to improving your metabolic rate.

Don’t worry, Plexus can help you get rid of all those extra lbs of fat, it sure did for me over these past 10 weeks!! Let it do the same for you!

My story

1461326_10202530709807116_1822658763_n

Work-from-home Mompreneur, wife and Realtor passionate about helping others gain a healthier lifestyle and improving their quality of life.
I am a busy mommy of an extremely on-the-go 18 month old and wife to the love of my life, Scott. Having our daughter was the most joyous time in our life and although I had a wonderful pregnancy and easy delivery I gained 50 lbs!!! I thought I am about to turn 30, all this pregnancy weight will fly off like it did for my friends. Wow was I wrong!! It took me a whole year to get back down close to pre-pregnancy weight but all my clothes were still tight and I looked fluffy. It didn’t seem fair that even after I had totally changed my nutrition and by choice cut out all meat and eat 90% non-processed, all organic foods I still wasn’t “thin”. Many months of working out and eating clean went by and nothing budged!! That was until I was introduced to Plexus by a very good friend of mine. I of course was skeptical thinking how in the world could this even work for me?! Well, a month later I was down 7 lbs and all my size 6 clothing that was tight was now loose! Fast forward another month and I am now sitting at my lowest weight as an adult, easily in size 4s and most importantly feel absolutely amazing. Plexus changed my life, my confidence, my health (no more migraines and the anti-seizure medicine that I had to take), and so much more! I was thinking the exact same thing as anyone reading this for the first time…yeah right, is this for real? Could it really work? Plexus does work and I have always been passionate about helping others with their health, weight loss and wellness goals and Plexus allows me to follow my passion while improving those lives around me through sharing Plexus. What a wonderful thing!
