7 Foods to Improve your Health

How many times has your belly started growling before you even start to think about what's for supper? How many times have you been looking for something to snack, but can't figure out what you want, much less what you should eat?

Wait before you crack open that gallon of ice cream. Wait before you order a pizza...again.


Let me tell you about a few foods that might help with those cravings without making you feel guilty.

Almonds - We all know that nuts in general are great to snack on. They are packed with protein & provide that satisfying crunch that we are usually looking for in a late night snack. But almonds specifically can help calm the nerves & fight the stress that tends to make weight loss hard.


Eggs - This one is a no brainer. Eggs have been given a bad rap over the years that made people quick to ditch the yolk & only eat the white. By eating the egg yolk as well, your snack will not only taste better but it will pack in a lot more of the proteins that release the hormone glucagon. This helps tackle belly fat.

Raising chickens makes this one easy for me! I personally care for regular cooked eggs (scrambled, over easy, whatever), but I love an omelet - hey more veggies! Hard boiled eggs are must in our house! They are great plain with salt & pepper, on salads, or pickled.


Yogurt - Yogurt seems to be THE standard "diet" food. That's because its loaded with probiotics that help the digestive system. It also helps fight off belly fat.




Oats - I don't know many people who don't love a good hot bowl of oatmeal. Now, I'm not talking about the Maple & Brown Sugar flavor pack that only takes a minute to make. Although all oats are good for you, those prepacked flavors also have more sugar in them. Stick to steel cut or rolled oats for the most nutrition benefits.


Parmesean Cheese - Really? Cheese on a "healthy food" list. Yep, its been proven that if you have one serving of whole milk or cheese daily it can aid in weight loss. Add it to spice up the flavor in dishes instead of cheddar cheese.


Olive Oil - While olive oil cannot replace your standard vegetable oil for cooking, it is great drizzled over salads or veggies, used for lightly sauteing, or mixed in with pasta. It has monounsaturated fat that is good for your heart & makes you feel full longer. It also helps control inflammation.


Chocolate - WOO HOO This is the one I have been waiting to have permission to eat!! Chocolate, especially dark chocolate can help reduce the risk of heart disease, diabetes, & stress. It can increase blood flow to the brain power causing a spike in alertness. Dark chocolate is also more filling than regular milk chocolate & it can reduce other cravings.


These super foods could work wonders in your diet. But, what if you could combine them with something that could make them work even better?

Tired of being overweight?

I have struggled with my weight most of my life. I have tried diet after diet after diet. I have been up & I have been down. I have been happy & I have been miserable. I have tried again & I have given up.

Do any of these sound like you?

I bet you can relate. Obesity rates among children & adults have more than doubled since the 1970s (National Center for Health Statistics, 2009). Now, roughly two-thirds of all Americans are either over weight or obese. So, if you don't struggle with your weight, thank your lucky stars.

So WHY are so many people overweight?

The short answer is easy.

We eat too much & don't exercise enough.

You can place part of the blame on McDonald's, Burger King, & Wendy's where we can super size everything, have it our way, & eat great even late. You can place part of the blame on farmers who have succumbed to greed by wanting bigger, meatier animals in a shorter amount of time. You can place part of the blame on the government, the FDA, etc for allowing our food to be tampered with.

You can place part of the blame on your work schedule. You can place part of the blame on your kid's activities. You can place part of the blame on your crazy schedule. You can place part of the blame on TV, video games, & the Internet.

But when it comes down to it, we have no one to truly blame but ourselves. Poor choices make up the majority of our existence

So just HOW do we fight back against this growing trend? We obviously are not quitting our jobs, keeping our children from participating in way too many activities, or clearing up our schedules any time soon. Fast food chains, big time farmers, the government, the FDA, & media produces obviously aren't doing much to change their practices.

So, again, HOW do we stop our selves, our children, our future from becoming obese? Well, I don't have the answer to everything, but I have found what has worked for me & my family!

Plexus Slim has changed my family's lives! I have lost 27 pounds & 29 inches in a little over 2 months. My husband has lost at least 16 pounds & about 17 inches in 7 weeks. We both feel better, have more energy, & are nor nearly as hungry. 

All of this has been lost WITHOUT much exercise too. Now, I'm NOT saying that you shouldn't exercise. We just haven't done it like we should. My husband & I have both recently started to exercise. But without Plexus, we wouldn't be where we are today.

Plexus can help you lose that excess weight. It is designed to regulate your blood sugar, burn fat, & build lean muscle.

Do you have 10, 20, or even 50 pounds you need to get rid of? Let Plexus Slim help you achieve your weight loss goals!

Plexus Testimonials - Leslie

This is my story on how Plexus Slim has helped my 8 year old with ADHD. Since my son was about 3 years old, I knew he had a problem. Then, and over the years I would notice that he was overly hyper, could not concentrate, liked things to be routine, would lie and believe it, had anger issues, uncontrollable noise would shut him down. Examples, radio, vacuums, tv, people talking loudly or laughing loudly. It hurt his ears so bad he would be in fetal position. I say uncontrollable because, if he was the cause of the noise, it didn't bother him. I was told from 3 yrs. old that hes just being a little boy, he needs discipline, there's nothing wrong!! I fought with his teachers because for little things he would get in a world of trouble. If he needed to tell his teachers something important, he would try and tell them and they would very rudely tell him to sit down and to shut up (not in MS schools!!). He would argue with them so he could say what he needed to say because, if he didn't say it, he would forget it. Then that would upset him. He needs one on one and eye to eye. Coming from a family of teachers, I know that's hard with a class full, but not impossible!

His self esteem started slipping away. As parents, we try so hard to build our children up. Because of getting in trouble at home for things he couldn't help and for getting in trouble at school for trying to tell a teacher something, he was going down. Thought the world hated him. I actually found that on a piece of paper in his room,"Why does everyone hate me"! Not cool ya'll, just not cool!! 


I am a parent who does not like medication. Thought if I could get teachers, friends parents and who ever else, to understand and to help me, I could get away with no medication. Everyone was awesome, but the teachers. Again, not the MS teachers. I get so angry just thinking about how this one teacher did him. 2 years ago, my husband and I broke down and had him tested for ADHD. Doc confirmed our thoughts and he is put on Adderall 10mg twice a day. Of course it started helping him and I was ecstatic. I did not like what he was or the side effects of it, but with the doctors assurance, we stayed with it. Plexus came into my life a few months back. I have used it, never thought in a million years of having my boy take it for ADHD. He has been on Plexus for less than a week. AND the hyperness has cut down, but hes not a zombie! The arguments have cut down, the tantrums have cut down, his stress is gone, self-esteem is coming back up, he is sleeping at night, he can sit at the computer and play a game with out bouncing in the chair. He no longer has the dry look in his eyes. They sparkle and his smile just shines, his laugh is one of the best sounds I have heard in a long time.


When your child struggles with ADHD, ADD, Autism, etc. You, as a parent, start doubting yourself. What could I have done different, what am I doing wrong, why can't people just accept my child. Just like its not their fault, its not your fault. Be aware of the issue at hand, and do your best to help. A child with either of the above or more, is not spoiled, does not lack discipline, they are loving and caring children, they are smart beyond their years. Give them a chance. Learn from them. Heaven knows, I have learned so much from my 8 yr. old. But please, if you don't want your child on harsh prescriptions, if you don't want them to go through the world feeling unwanted or unloved, etc. Please give Plexus a try. From mother to mother, from parent to parent IT WORKS!!




Leslie's testimony breaks my heart. I have seen those children slipping through the school system. I have seen them as mere zombies, just barely getting by. I have seen the frustration by child, parent, & teacher as they try to figure out the best way to succeed.

Could Plexus Slim help your child do more than just get by? Could this all natural product help your child as well?

Plexus Testimonial - Stacey

I decided I'd like to share my story with you all again, and give a little update in hopes of encouraging those who may be going through something similar. So, here goes...

I was diagnosed with PCOS, an insulin disorder that causes fertility issues, in 1995. People who suffer from PCOS gain weight easily, especially in their mid-section, and have a hard time losing it, and among other things, suffer from low energy. I've always sort of yo-yo'd with my weight. I get to a certain point and say, ok, no more. Time to lose weight. So I'd lose weight from various methods, and eventually gain it back through pregnancy or just careless eating habits. I got to where I was in the March 2013 picture by careless eating.

I kept seeing this Plexus stuff all over the place, and thought good grief, what is this stuff everybody is talking about?? So, after reading amazing testimony and testimony, I decided to try it. My products couldn't get here fast enough!!! Finally they arrived, and I began my Plexus journey. But...

...the weight didn't come off, and didn't come off, and didn't come off. I actually gained a few pounds at first! I fought for about 3 months with my body and mixing up my Plexus routine and adding other products to it. Finally my body began to respond! I was losing!!!! And am continuing to lose today. As of today, I am down 16.5lbs, and 2.5in from my waist. So, for those of you who are struggling with the products, DON'T GIVE UP!!! Please trust me when I tell you, THEY WORK. They will work for you too, you have to be willing to work with the products. If I had given up after the first month, or the second month, or the third month.....I'd still look like I did back in March. Yuck, no thanks.

I'm also happy to report that I have more energy! And am overall a much happier person because I allowed Plexus Slim into my life and gave them a chance to work with me. Share as you wish. I take Slim, the accelerator, Pro Bio 5, Bio Cleanse, and X-Factor.





Plexus Slim doesn't claim to improve people's lives! The people that take Plexus Slim give it the credit for improving their lives!

Plexus Testimonials - Heather

Here is a message I just wrote to another friend:
The reason I started taking Plexus was NOT to loose weight, but to balance my hormones. April Stewart Owens posted her testimony that she had been diagnosed with endometriosis at 16, but that after taking Plexus she had cancelled her 3rd endometrial surgery, and had discontinued all of her hormones, and that now her dr is recommending Plexus to his other patients!!! Eric read that and agreed that I MUST try this! I have been having menopausal symptoms since I was 25 or 26, and drs have not been able (nor very willing) to help me. I had recently found a dr. (after a decade of trying different drs!!!) that was willing to test my hormones - all the others had just patronizingly told me I was too young for hormone problems and threw anti-depressants at me!!! Anyway, this new dr tested my progesterone levels in sept and they were supposed to be 20, mine were .02 - and I had just stopped taking a progesterone cream from the health food store only 3wks prior to my blood test, and I had been taking that progesterone cream for 2 1/2 years! She recommended I go see a specialist to get on hormone therapy. I was scheduled to go in Jan. Eric and I thought it wouldn't hurt to give Plexus a shot, and if it didn't work I could just go to the specialist later this year.

The new dr also said my blood tests in Sept and Nov were showing elevated liver enzymes, and she was quite concerned. I haven't been back to get any testing re-done yet, but all of my symptoms I was experiencing are GONE! I can't wait to go get more blood tests to see how the numbers reflect how amazing I feel!

The first week in Jan I had a sleep study done that indicated I have sleep apnea, but Eric says that I don't exhibits any of the signs of it any more. And I haven't even had my follow up consultation with the sleep dr. yet!

So, yeah, loosing 20lbs was just the icing on the cake LOL!

As far as a special diet - nope, of course a healthy diet will help, but you will experience the benefits whether you make the changes or not. I have noticed that I just don't crave the foods I used to, and things are too sweet for me now. 1/2 a cookie is usually all the sweet I can eat now. Also my cravings for healthy foods have increased! I was shocked on Thursday that I actually craved a carrot for lunch lol. Previously I had craved sugar like CRAZY!!!

Here are the 3 products I recommend. They work together like a system.

Slim - glucose drink will feed the hypothalamus. Such a misnomer since my underweight son has gained on it! But again, I have lost.

BioCleanse - oxygenates the body which makes an unfriendly environment for pathogens who prefer an anaerobic environment. The first week I felt "lighter" because I was breathing on a cellular level in my body!

ProBio5 - not only a source of beneficial bacteria, but also kills candida overgrowth. This is crucial for your healing and works hand-in-hand with the BioCleanse

I didn't notice that I felt amazing until I completed my 1st month.

My goal is NOT to sell products, but to help get people thinking in a direction that will actually help them and bring healing! Honestly, my prayer is that the Lord will lead you to healing, no matter what direction!


As you can see, everyone's story with Plexus is different. WHAT IF Plexus could change your life??? Are you ready to let it try??
