You can be skinny and unhealthy. You can be overweight and starving. You can look “just right” and not feel great. How and why is any of this possible?
Simple. Our bodies need nourishment. If we aren’t filling ourselves with nutritious foods, we will not be healthy – no matter what we look like. Many an overweight person is starving for nourishment. Filling up on nutrient void “food” keeps our bodies asking for more. When properly nourished, our bodies will be satisfied.
Every body is different in how it responds to lack of nutrition. Some become overweight. Some become underweight. Some become sick. Some become sluggish. Some develop a variety of health problems over time.
The solution? Well, again, every body is different. I’m not an expert. But, I think it’s important to remember that “being skinny” is not the goal any of us should be going for. Achieving a healthy weight for you? Feeling great, having energy, and becoming altogether healthy – well that’s what we should be going for, right?
Whether we’re talking about weight or not, here are my five favorite healthy tips (hmm, I bet you’ve heard me say these before…):
1. Eat a balance of nutrient rich foods.
Focus on foods that nourish and satisfy.
2. Cut out the sugar and nutrient-void foods.
Save the desserts and chips for occasional treats.
3. Exercise.
Oh how our bodies need this, in whatever form you choose.
4. Drink water.
Most people don’t drink nearly enough. I can’t stress enough the importance of drinking water. Are you drinking enough?
5. Get plenty of sleep.
This one can be tricky, especially if you have babies and little children. Do the best you can, and really make sleep a priority!
What if you need extra help to achieve great health and an ideal body weight?
I’ve recently been introduced to Plexus Slim. Ever heard of it? I was excited to begin working with Stefanie, an ambassador with Plexus. I’d never heard of Plexus before, and at the beginning of our working together, I was hesitant. Why? Because I am at a healthy weight right now. Plus, I’m cautious about what I put in my body. Was this going to be one of those products promising to work miracles on everyone? Before diving in, I did some research, and I asked Stefanie more questions.
Stefanie has been absolutely wonderful to answer all of my questions, giving me testimonies and specifics as to why these products are not only right and safe for those who want/need to lose weight, but for others like me who want to maintain a healthy weight. And how about for those who need to balance blood sugar, have fewer sugar cravings, have more energy, desire to sleep better, want to kick eczema… YES! She even gives Plexus to her young son to help cure his eczema.
Feeling great now about giving Plexus Slim a try, I began taking it each morning. What do I think of it? First things first – this is a treat to wake up to. It tastes YUM. But how have I felt after several days in a row taking this product? It’s really great. The best word I can come up with to describe how I feel is: Balanced. I feel steady. I feel calm. And this is all after traveling most of the month of July, and then starting intense school days with my kids two days later.
Here’s something else cool! Just days after I started taking this, my friend Lisa posted about Plexus on Facebook. She’s taking it as a weight loss tool, and of course, to help her achieve overall good health. Without sharing with her how I’d been feeling while taking the product, I asked her how it had been going. Her answer? “I feel…calm. Steady. And, I’m losing weight.” Well then. It seems that she and I are enjoying similar benefits, except that she is also losing some pounds she was hoping to shed. Bonus!
Just today, here’s what Lisa wrote as her Facebook status about Plexus:
10 pounds and -18 total inches. I’ve read it takes two weeks to notice a difference in yourself and four weeks for others to start noticing. I’m just past two full weeks and whether anyone else notices or not, I do. That feels pretty darn amazing.
I’m super excited for Lisa, and I give Plexus two thumbs up. As a tool to help you find your healthy weight, and simply to help you achieve overall good health, I encourage you to look into this. Do your research to see if this will be a good fit for you. (Some commenters have found that not all of the ingredients have settled well with their systems. As I stated before, I don’t believe anything is a magic bullet, cure-all. But I do think this is a good supplement to try out to see if it works for you.)
Want to give it a try for free? Stefanie is giving away two 7-day trials of Plexus Slim plus the Accelerator pill for two different winners. Leave a comment on this post for a chance to win. I’ll draw two random winners on Monday, August 11. Be watching for a post stating the winner as you will be responsible for contacting me if your name is chosen.
Have questions about Plexus? Check out Stefanie’s website, or feel free to email her about your needs! (sbosket5 @ yahoo.com)
I’d LOVE to give this a try! Thanks for the chance to win!
Would LOVE to feel “balanced” – thank you for offering this!!!
Been curious about plexus. Love to give it a try!!!
I would love to try. Thanks for the opportunity!
I have been thinking about trying this. It would be awesome to give it a shot and see! Thanks for the chance! And the review!
I have been wanting to try this. Sounds amazing!
Thank you SO much for this post! I’ve been wanting to try it but bc I am currently nursing was very hesitant. I’ll still probably wait until baby weans but glad to know you had good results. So in your opinion the ingredients are all natural? I am very sensitive to caffeine so that’s also been a concern for me!
Yes, although I believe everyone should do their own research to be sure the ingredients will be okay for them. Not all supplements work for all people. :)
I’ve seen this everywhere but I’ve passed it over because I don’t need to lose weight, although I have been looking for something to help fill in the gaps I feel I’m missing. Maybe this would be it.
Interesting, I’d be willing to try it!
Thanks for the give-away! This sounds great.
Would love to give Plexus a try. I see posts on facebook about Plexus but wasn’t sure if it was safe. Glad to see that you have tried it and would recommend the product.
I would love to try this, thanks for the giveaway:)
I’m super proud of Lisa and a bit jealous that she feels so good. I’d love to win a sample!
Would love to win!
Been wondering how safe it was. Glad to see this from you.
Been wondering what the hype was about. Thanks for your honest review! I’d love I try:)
Would love to try.
Interesting! I’d love to give it a try. Wondering though is it safe to use while breastfeeding?
After doing a little research, I think I would wait til done nursing. Would love to win for hubby though!
Can’t believe you actually gave this a try and are advertising something like this on your site, very disappointed.
For those wanting more info. Check out the site. It analyzes the ingredients. If you read why Laura started her journey on real food you’ll discover part of the reason was her son’s severe excema. Switching to a real food diet improved his condition. This is your typical too good to be true weight loss product. Can’t believe Laura is endorsing this, goes against what her sight is about. Laura what’s going on????
Certainly switching to whole foods improved Malachi’s condition and all of our health overall, but we’ve also gone to many holistic doctors and put him on supplements to help his body become strong and to get to the root of his problem. For Malachi, the root cause was that his liver and kidneys were not dumping toxins properly. Even with whole foods, we still needed help in the form of supplements and doctor care.
I definitely don’t see Plexus as a “be all and end all” weight loss supplement, but I believe it is a good product that some may benefit from. I’m all for supplements to help our bodies become healthier.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this. Is there something about the product that you feel is cause for concern?
Would love to try it. We have done a total diet overhaul but I could really use a boost!
This would be great!
It’s encouraging to see you endorse this and its safety as well as efficacy. I could use some extra help with weight loss myself, and what mama doesn’t want to feel her best? I certainly do :)
I could use some calm. Count me in! :)
I would love to try this for myself and my daughter and husband. We all need to lose weight and reduce our sugar cravings. My husband also has type 2 diabetes so I would be curious to see how it would work for him. Thanks!
I’ve heard of Plexus, but don’t have the finances to try something for the first time. This would be a great chance to try it. Thanks for the chance.
I’d love to give this a try! Balanced is something I would love to feel!!
I would be grateful for the opportunity to try it.
Would love to try this!!
I had 4 kids in less than 3 years, and haven’t been balanced since! The youngest is now 5 and its still crazy around here! :) I appreciate your reviews of products because I trust you. Thanks for all you do!
Sounds like a great product. I am trying to gain the upper hand on my weight but menopause is trying to discourage me. Would love to give this product a try. Thanks .
I highly respect your opinion. I have heard good things about this, but wondered if it could be good for you. With your endorsement, I would give it a try. Is it basically like drinking a multivitamin?
I would love to try this!
Help in losing weight would be wonderful! I’ve almost hit the 25 pound mark and seem to be stalling. A boost would be great!
Have been wanting to try this before actually buying it and have been wondering about it for someone who doesn’t really need to lose weight but would like to maintain a healthy weight so it’s great to read your testimony about it! And the word “balance” really struck me…that’s definitely something I could use right now!
Definitely would love to try this! I got a not good at all report from my doctor a few weeks ago. My triglycerides are 1,318, my A1C was 12.3. I AM overweight :( 5’2″ 172 lbs. What’s sad is that I used to be skinny with no effort at all. After my report, I’ve gotten serious though. I am being careful about what I eat, thanks to you ;), and I’m walking 6 miles 5 times a week. This would be so good, and a great Birthday present for me ;) I’ll be 34 on August 20th :)
Would like to try it.
Wow, this stuff sounds great! Would love the chance to try it!
Your endorsement of Plexus makes me willing to try it. I have been hearing so much about it but didn’t really believe all the hype.
Would love to try this!
I would LOVE to try this! Thank you!
Would love to give this a try. Sounds interesting and beneficial. Thanks!
Would love to give this a try. I have felt very sluggish lately and just can not seem to lose any weight.
I would love to try this. Thanks for the giveaway!!!
I am in for trying this. It sounds interesting.
Wow! l would love to win this! I need to lose about 100 pounds, and feeling balanced would be wonderful too : )
I’ve been curious about this product too. Please enter me in the drawing.
Would love to try the sample pack :)
Wow, another great chance to win! Thanks for sharing.
Hadn’t heard of this but my interest is piqued!
I have heard many good things about Plexus, I need to test it out!
Would love to win this!
I would like to try Plexus…thanks for the giveaway.
Lots of friends use it and I’ve wanted to try it. I’m pregnant now, it would try it after I deliver as long as it’s safe for nursing moms. Is it? And what’s the shelf life on it?
Not sure on the shelf life, but I’d avoid while pregnant/nursing.
Awesome! I would LOVE a chance to win :)
I’ve heard of Plexus, but wondered if it was “real” and healthy to use. I’d love to try it now since I trust your opinion.
I’m curious to see if this works. I’d like the chance to win.
I’ve been wanting to try it. Thank you for the opportunity.
I just had a serious stay at the hospital concerning my diabetes I really want to lose weight. My doc says she can give me nothing. I would love to try this.
Would love to try this! What Mom doesn’t want to be calm and balanced?
Willing to try!
I’ve heard much recently about this product, and would be interested to give it a try
I have heard lots about plexus, would love to try it.
I would love to try Plexus. Thanks for the giveaway!
I would love to give it a try!
I would love to try this. I’m trying to embark on a healthier eating lifestyle with hopefully some weight loss as a side effect! I have some blood sugar issues if I don’t eat enough so would be interested to see how this helps that as well.
I’ve heard of this, but was Leary…if you trust it I’d like to give it a shot!
I have been trying to lose weight and improve my health for years, maybe Plexus is the key! Thanks for the chance!
I would like to try this! Thanks for the review!
I’d love to try this!
I love idea of trying something to help me feel balance and calm. I have four small children all year apart so eating healthy is important.
I’m still pretty confused about WHAT it is….a gulp of something? A full glass of a drink? Could it replace the super fruit juice blend we have been doing? BUT of course I would love to win to try it
It’s like one of those drink mixes you shake into a full water bottle or glass of water. So yes, it’s a full glass of a drink. I would think it would replace the super fruit juice blend you drink, or just be another supplement to go along with it. :)
Would love to try this, thanks!
I would like to try it. I could use the feeling balanced effect.
Ive seen this around a lot lately and would love to try it.
I would be interested in trying this. Thanks!
Sounds interesting…Lisa’s results are impressive.
Sounds like it would work well for me! Would love to win a free sample!!
Would love to win. Thanks.
Would love a chance to try this!
I’m always skeptical about these types of products, but if you are saying its safe…I trust you. I need to lose some weight and would love to win!
I’m intrigued but….what IS it? A drink? What’s in it?
I would love to try this. I have been working on loosing weight and am 13 lbs down, but would love a boost!
I’ll definitely be looking into this more carefully. I have a been at standstill in my weight for years even when I exercised like a nut so I would be interested to see if this would help.
I’d love to give it a try. Need to lose some weight and would love to feel calm and balanced.
I would love to try this product. Thank you for the chance to win.
I’m always skeptical of these drinks. I’ve heard a lot about it though, so I’d be interested in winning a 7 day trial.
I have never heard of Plexus before. I would love to give it a try. Thanks for hosting this giveaway! :)
I would love to give this a try!
I would love to give this a try. I trust your endorsement!
Like the other commenters, I probably wouldn’t try this if it was just anyone blogging about this product, but I trust your judgement. :) Certainly sounds promising!
I’d love to try it. Thanks for sharing!
I’ve been wanting my husband to try this but it’s expensive so we haven’t yet. I’d love to win this to see if he’d even like it.
I have been interested in Plexus and would love to win a sample! Thanks!
Would love to try these
I would love to try it. Sure could use an energy boost.
I’ve heard great things and would love to try it!!
I would love to win this…
Love for my hubby to try it!
I would love to try this for a week. It’s energy I struggle with and am a bit overwhelmed since finally starting a healthier lifestyle at the beginning of this year. There are soooo many products out there and it’s hard to know what is “safe.” I too trust you girl!
would like to try this!
I’m definitely interested in more info! Thanks for the giveaway!
Would be interested in giving this a try :)
This would be great! Thank you!
I’d like to try this. Thanks for the chance to win.
I’ve never heard of plexus but I would love to try it!
I will give it a try
How do I enter the giveaway? And can we see an ingredient list of what’s in it?
Sounds very interesting! I would love to win the free trial!!
Would love to win this for the weight loss aspect….I could lose half my weight right now and I could still be a bit overweight according to BMI charts….I hate to purchase things that promise weight loss without delivering or making me not eat more than 500 calories a day or whatever…they don’t work and I would love to try this for free to see if it could help me,
thanks for the chance!
I would love to feel calm and balanced!
I’ve looked into Plexus and it sounds good! Would love to give it a try!
Oh I am 12 pounds from my goal weight with weight watchers, so I would LOVE to win this and hopefully make it to my goal weight soon. Last pounds are always a struggle to get off. Not to mention life has been really stressful lately, I need “calm”. LOL
would love to try this to help me get my weight under control
Would love to get a trial of the Plexus Slim to try out! Laura, I love reading your posts!
This looks interesting. I have a friend that just started using it. I would like to try it.
I have heard of Plexus, but I haven’t done any research. Would love to give it a try.
I lost 55 pounds when I went gluten free, but can’t seem to shake the sugar craving. I am willing to try Plexus if it will help lower the sugar craving. I also need balance in my life as I am now sharing my home with my 13 year old grandson. It’s a challenge, but I love him.
I’ve tried a trial pack for 7 days and LOVED the results. I would love to win this!!
I have a friend who recently started using (and distributing) this product as well. She has lost some weight and has had many other health benefits. She has struggled for years with hormonal imbalances that affected her mood and many other things (to the extreme at times)…she said she is noticing a huge improvement in those areas as well. I have been interested in trying this, but just haven’t had the extra money right now. I would love to win some to try! I certainly could stand to lose a few pounds and the bonus of feeling “calm” and “balanced” right when we are about to start a new homeschool year would be awesome!
love to try it……
Never heard of Plexus. I’m always VERY skeptical of weight loss products. It would be interesting to see if this truly works. It’s a definite bonus that it’s gluten-free! :) I would like to try it.
I would love to give this a try… I just love reading your blog and all that you share with us about your family! Plus need to lose quite a bit of weight. We have mostly healthy foods in our home but I can’t kick my chocolate craving for the life of me.
I could really use this – losing weight is hard!
We’ve made a lot of changes to our lifestyle, including grinding our own wheat, but I’m stuck at my weight and could use a boost. Thx!
I would love to win this to help me lose weight! I eat real food and control my blood sugar and yet it is hard to drop the weight. Thanks for the chance to win! :-)
I would love to give this a try.
I must say, I was surprised to see a “diet” thing on your site, but I trust you and you do your research! I am stuck at 15 pounds over my “healthy” weight after three babies, and I would love to see that gone!
Would love to try this
I have been watching the advertisements about PLexi Slim and would be interested in trying it even if my name isn’t drawn!
I would love to win this to help me lose weight! :-)
Sorry, don’t mean to post twice, I thought my first post didn’t work, so I tried again, and the first post did show up finally! :-)
Oh, I would love to try this! I have been on real foods for a few years now, but my weight is still an issue, especially once a month. Pleae do pick me! >Smile<
I’ve never tried any supplements to aid in my weight loss, but I trust you, and I would try this.
Have wanted to try it out for a while…would love a free sample!
I would love to try this! I have just started a new excercise/diet routine and would love to try something that may help with my goals!
Lisa
I would love to try it…….
I have heard a lot about Plexus recently. I would love to try this product as I continue my steps toward healthy eating.
How fun! My sister started with Plexus 2 weeks ago after much research, too! I’m the fuddy duddy who prefers trying something after it’s been around 5 years to get all the health hazards and kinks worked out first, yet intrigued with this, especially since you give the thumbs up :)
Thank you!
Would live to try this out!
I would love to try this. Balance and Calmness is what I NEED.
Steady…calm…balanced – you got my attention! :). I would love to try this product out! Going right now to learn more. :)
A friend was just telling me about this the other day. I would try it.
Hi! I love your website, and have been slightly interested in Plexus. However, it’s a very expensive product. Could you just take this for the 7 days and be done, or say a month? Or, is it recommended for continuing for a long time. I guess, I would rather buy $80 dollars or so of real food instead of this. Are you going to continue to take this Laura? Thanks! I don’t want to sound too negative though, I am still (possibly?) interested in trying.
I don’t plan to continue taking this since 1) I don’t need to lose weight and 2) I also prefer to spend my $ on real food.
But, I do think others might find that it’s worth paying for. My friend Lisa (who I talked about in the post) decided to sign up as an ambassador to make it more cost effective since it’s working so well for her.
This information would be helpful if it was spelled out in your post (and the follow-up), Laura. I understand you’re writing a review for a sponsor so you want to stay positive, but it would be nice to know that you don’t intend to use it long-term.
Would love to hear more about this… Sounds like something for me!
I had never heard of Plexus until a few weeks ago, and now this is the third time it’s come up in completely different circles. I have been feeling defeated in ever shedding this bondage of weight to honor God with my body. I’ll be spending some time today on researching the products. Thanks for sharing!
I’ve heard of this before and would like to see if it helps to balance my blood sugar.
Lord knows I’ve tried everything else! I’d love to find something that works, I’d be there biggest cheerleader for sure :o)
I had never heard of Plexi Slim before, but I have followed your blog for quite a while and found your information to be trustworthy and reliable so decided to check out the website myself. It sounds like a dream come true. This really, really sounds like something I’d like to try. Thanks for going beyond the norm, and posting about this.
As I’ve hit my mid thirties, I see now how my nutritional choices have impacted my health. I would love to win this giveaway to work my way back to feeling healthy and vibrant!
I really need to try this! After losing 60 lbs, I have been stalled for over a year! I eat NO added sugar (not even ketchup), lower carb, am active (lots of exercise)…and still, not losing! It’s frustrating!!! I would really love to try this!!!
Would love to give this a try .. Need help with blood sugar and weight loss and of course CRAVINGS!!!
My husband would love to try this. He has always been a fit guy, by lately he is struggling and really wants to find something.
I would love to try this!
I am really interested in this product
I would love to try it!
I’m really interested in trying this, especially after hearing your thoughts on it!
I am excited to try this product.
Why not?
I love that you talked about this today- I have heard about it, but of course, am skeptical. Thank you for the review, and I would love a chance to try it!
This may be JUST what I need to help me shed the last of my post-baby weight!!!
Love to try!
Yes please – especially after hearing your thoughts about it.
I would love to try this product!
I would love to try this. I was just saying to my sister that I wanted to get healthy and lose some weight . Thanks for the opportunity!
I would love to give this a try to help lose those stubborn last five pounds.
I’ve reached a plateau in my weight loss, and with four kids to homeschool, I can always use more “balance and calm”. I’d love to try Plexus!
Would love to try.
Laura, I know that you have shared that you feel purchasing “real” food is so worth the investment. I totally agree.
Although I would love to lose weight and also feel more balanced (99.9% of women would), Plexus is an expensive product ($84.95 if one purchases it at retail and $79.95 if you join this company as a distributor).
You have shared many times that you pray over your posts. I have always appreciated that and I respect you (and your husband) for your character, work ethic, and love for your family.
Many people have issues with MLM type companies because they almost always have a few shared problems: Over-prices products, over-hyped products and almost always a cost incentive to buy products as a distributor rather than a retail customer.
Since many of us would purchase this product based on our trust level of you, even with the hefty price tag, please address as to how you arrived at a clean conscience to recommend this on your blog.
Also, if we purchase from the link you provide do you receive anything? If so, why not disclose that?
She said in the post that her friend Stephanie is giving it away. Laura is the conduit, if you will. :)
Jessica, I think I asked respectful but fair questions. Before replying to your response are you Laura’s assistant?(Not being sarcastic, truly asking.)
I just wanted to second this comment. My desire to lose weight is enormous…and it is easy to step over the line and justify the cost of something like this. However, it is, for me, not justifiable. I have a hard time imagining who could justify this. Eighty dollars a month on myself in order to feel “balanced” or to lose weight! The amount that that would add up to in a year is staggering. It’s not even a question of can I afford it. It is more a question of is this the best place to put this amount of money? Would it be better spent on supporting missions, on supporting multiple children in One Child Matters, or simply on more wholesome food for our own families.
Women who are overweight (and I am one of them) are so easily led into spending a large amount of money and time on their bodies through these types of plans (regardless of whether they work). It seems like such a better philosophy to use our money in a better way, and to encourage one another to put our focus on health through eating and exercise.
I’m glad that Laura led the email by mentioning health through eating and exercise, but I have to say I felt like it was mostly to discourage emails such as mine! I am assuming there’s a kickback for this promotion and also feel like that should be mentioned.
Our health is important, but not eternal. Our money could be better spent and our health still enhanced by good eating and exercise. The Lord will balance us!
Nope, no kick-back. I’m simply posting a review with an advertiser like I often do. I always give my honest review on a product, then strongly urge my readers to look into this for themselves. Especially with a product like this, it is very important for everyone to research it for themselves. :)
I totally hear you on all of this! I was simply writing a review of a product like I often do with advertisers here. I don’t get anything if anyone purchases, otherwise I would definitely have disclosed that.
My goal with this post was to inform you of a product I’ve reviewed, give you my opinions, and let you check it out for yourselves. I really recommend that you look into this thoroughly before trying it – don’t just take my word for it! What works for some may not work for others.
One of the things I love most about my readers is that they are really careful about what they spend money on and what they buy into. My hope is that this case will be no different. I share what I’ve learned, you all check it out for yourselves. :)
Laura, Thanks so much for your reply. I know this is a give-away with no strings attached but would you ask the winners if they would mind giving their honest opinions after trying this for a couple of weeks. I would so appreciate a follow up post because I do trust the heavenly homemakers community. I think as you can see from the interest level in this post that others would love to know (semi-first hand) if this actually works with weight loss. Again, thank you for your prompt response!
Hi there – I have been reading here for years and I am also an ambassador for Plexus Slim. I was so incredibly skeptical at first and we didn’t have the money to buy it on a monthly basis. But after months and months of trying to get my weight down through diet and exercise, we saved up to by a month’s supply (which was really only two weeks since my husband and I were both trying it). I am with Laura when she says it just makes you feel balanced – I also lost 30 pounds over the course of four months and improved the way I was eating even more and began to exercise because I had more energy to get to the gym. The cost was made up by how much less we were eating as crazy as that sounds. Plexus is not a fad diet, a get rich quick scheme or anything like that. Do your research and check it out for yourself. If anyone has any questions about the legitimateness of the product(s) ask away. I’m not trying to take anything away from the ambassador who is giving away the Plexus but just giving another opinion of the products and their effectiveness.
Excited to try now that I have a review from a trusted source! Tried a supplement six+ months ago that threw me into a negative mental state (think on-edge-PMS-nerves for 6 weeks straight. Ugh!). That did NOT make for a happy household. Poor family of mine.
Any chance this helps clear up some of the brain fog that I feel most days? Allergy pills help tremendously with that, but I would still like to be able to recall simple words (“spoon,” anyone?!) instead of saying, “grab the thingy out of the drawer.” (blank. stares. from. the. kids.) LOL!
I would love to try this! Especially to kick start my weight loss after a year after having my sixth and final baby :)
Why not give it a try?
I’d love to try this!
I could sure use this. Have lost weight, but, so stuck where I am. :(
Would like to give this a try.
You had me at the word balanced! I would love to feel balanced.
Really interested in trying!
Balanced sounds amazing…absolutely amazing.
Well, I for one would like a “magic bullet, ” but since thats not an option, I’d love to try this out. Thanks for the try.
I’m 44, look 29 & feel 68. I’ve tried several products & “healthy” is my first priority. I’m sure there is some user error but nothing quite works well these days. I’m going to look into this. Thanks!
Sounds interesting … would love to lose some weight safely.
It’s funny that you posted about this. My uncle told me about it last week. I’ve never heard of it until then. He’s had great weight loss success after only being on it for 4 wks! He also said that he hasn’t slept this good in decades! I’m very curious about it myself. Especially the “balanced” part! I’ve been trying to balance my hormones naturally, maybe this is the last piece of the puzzle?!
Could really use a health boost!!
I WOULD LOVE TO TRY THIS!! I would love to try to lose weight a healthy way! Thank you
Would love to try this but it’s very expensive. Be nice to try first!
I could use something calming! :)
I would be interested in trying this, especially to see if it would help with psoriasis. While I know psoriasis is not eczema, it’s still a skin condition and it would be interesting to see if Plexus would help psoriasis (and possibly even some of the symptoms of psoriatic arthritis).
Been reading about this lately. Would love to give it a try!
Thanks for the giveaway. This product looks interesting.
Interesting. I’m already at a healthy weight, but if it will help me feel more calm and balanced, then I’m all for it!
Sounds great! Would be excited to try it for free!
I’m VERY interested in trying this and even would be willing to give a very honest review after a trial period.
This just might be what I need to boost my healthy eating plan. Would love to see if it re-boots my metabolism.
What is the sugar content of the shake?
I’ve always wanted to try this but I don’t do sugar.
I would love to feel “balanced” haha!
This would be nice to try.
I’d love to feel balanced and shed a few pounds. Thanks for the opportunity.
I just made a decision the other day to lose some weight.
I hope I win to try to help with some sugar stuff!!
Interesting product. Never heard of it but I would be willing to try it!
I would love to try this. I have a friend who did very well with it. Her energy level went up greatly, and she lost weight. Both things that sound great to me.
Be sure to read the ingredients in this. It is mostly a chromium supplement with some caffeine from green tea and poly dextrose and stevia. I go more for real food than these type of quick fixes because they are not long lasting results. Like Laura said, Do your own research and know what you are putting into your body.
I’ve heard a lot about Plexus and am very interested in trying it!
Would love to get this for my husband! Thanks for hosting this giveaway!
I would love to try this!!

Would love to try. A friend recently mentioned. I would love it for the sugar stabilizing part and to help with energy.
I would like to give this a try! Thanks!
Would love to lose some baby weight!
Can I use this while breast feeding?
You’d have to ask Stefanie for sure, but I would hold off on it while nursing.
I take the slim while nursing! Always good to check with your doctor;)
I’d love to try this!!

Plexus Slim sounds great for a wholesome addition to my already balanced diet of unprocessed foods, limited sugar and gluten free. I am a 70 yer old who needs to stay calm and balanced.

I’ve been hearing a lot about this and actually tried three days of it – samples from a friend. Felt great two of those days and didn’t need any caffeine to ward off headaches. But I want to try it a little longer before diving in and paying for it!
This sounds like something I would like to try.
Thank you for the opportunity.
I would love to try this!
Balance! Thanks for giving a word to what I’ve been feeling like I’m missing lately. Would love to give this a try. The weight loss would be a bonus!

Yes, please!
I would love to try this. Diabetes runs in my family and unless I lose weight and start eating healthy, I’m sure I’ll end up with diabetes too. I’m having so much trouble with motivation. Maybe this would be my kick-start!
I would love to try this and have a little help kicking the sugar craving habit!!
I would love to try this!

Would love to try, thanks for the opportunity!
Sounds like just what I need :) Thanks!
Hi, Laura,
Are you also taking the boost or excelerator? Is your friend who is losing the weight taking the boost or excelerator?how do you feel about these products? I’m not sure about Yerba mate.
No, since I don’t need to lose weight, I am not taking the accelerator. Yes, my friend who is losing weight is taking it. I didn’t even look into the specifics of it since I decided right away I didn’t need it.
I would really like to try this !
Sounds very interesting. Would love the opportunity to try it.
I’ve been using Plexus slim for some months now. It is helping me to loose weight…18 lbs. since the very end of June (not the ONLY thing I’m doing to loose weight by a LONG shot), but it helps me w/ balancing blood sugar, for certain. I usually struggle w/ keeping up beat, content, and cheerful as a homeschooling mom of 6, this is what is helps me MOST with. I feel like a different person taking this! Not saying it’s for everyone, but it certainly has helped me!
Laura, I have to say that I was very surprised to see that you are promoting a product like this. In general, I’ve always tried to stay away from “pills, potions, and powders”, and rely on REAL FOOD that God has created instead. The ingredients in these products are sending many warning flags. The citric acid and soy lecithin are likely derived from GMO sources. There are a lot of undesirable “filler” ingredients. The enormous quantity of B-12 is alarming, and I am wondering about the source of the vitamins. If they are synthetic, then the body will have a hard time assimilating them – unlike the bioavailability of vitamins and minerals that we get from real food. God has placed vitamins/minerals along with other substances that make up whole foods and they work together synergistically. This is just another example of man thinking he knows what our bodies need better than God! Otherwise, your “tips” are wonderful. If one would follow those alone (exercise, eat right, drink lots of water, get adequate sleep, etc.) then eventually a healthy weight should be achieved. It may take time, though. Unfortunately, Americans are impatient and programmed to desire “quick fixes” These weight loss potions are just that (with potential unwanted side effects accompanying them!)
Plexus Slim was created for type 2 diabetics as a more natural way for them to level their blood sugar. It is a health supplement, and for many people, one of the healthy side effects of balanced blood sugar is weight loss. Many people, including people in my family, have gotten off of their harmful pharmaceutical prescriptions because Plexus has lowered their blood pressure, relieved anxiety, and helped alleviate symptoms from auto-immune disease. Thousands of people have eliminated depression and other harmful issues in their life by leveling their blood sugar and getting in balance.
Our food and environment are not quite the same as when the Lord created them. He does call for us to love one another peacefully, and to take care of ourselves. For some, Plexus Slim is a very healthy way to achieve and manage good health.
Ditto what Joy said; this sounds like a great product but it goes right against the principles of your wholesome food website! Even if the ingredients are “natural”? I too was very surprised to see this sort of endorsement on your site, and in the comments a lot of people have been influenced by your promoting it.
Here are some of my thoughts on your (and others) concerns: https://www.heavenlyhomemakers.com/why-did-i-choose-to-share-a-review-about-plexus
I really appreciate you voicing your concern and questioning what I say, instead of just taking it and running!
I’ve seen this product promoted on Facebook a few times and never really researched it since I’ve always been a bit hesitant about any sort of “weight loss pill” but after reading your blog for several years, this post has made me reconsider that stance as it appears this pill is more about achieving health and less about the weight loss. Given your review I’d love the opportunity to try it!
Wonder if this is ok to take when breastfeeding? would like to try it sometime!
I disagree with the previous comments!!! You are the third trusted person that has presented this on their blog, Laura! I’m very excited to see yet another person who does their research and is committed to living and eating in a healthy way endorse this product. The first blog I saw this on is a women who WOULD NOT ever recommend a product that had GMO derived ingredients in it. I have heard many many testimonies of women who have struggled to overcome low bold sugar and other issues like adrenal fatigue who have used this product and feel so much better. Balanced is the exact word to describe what so many people are experiencing. I have been just watching and waiting, but after hearing your review, I am ready to try it! Thank you Laura:)
Thanks for the opportunity!
Have been reading about Plexus but the cost scares me away. Maybe if I won and lost I would not be afraid to spend the money.
I would love to try this! I have struggled with my weight all of my life. After gradually switching over to a real, whole foods diet a few years ago, I lost about 30 lbs. I feel so much better, but I still have 20lbs I need to drop. Sleep, water, regular exercise and exorcizing the sugar demon are high priorities for me, but I’ve been stalled for over a year and am ready to try something new.
Between $75-$85 a month? This seems absolutely out of the league of most people. 7 day trial would be nice, but there is no way our family could support this supplement habit. I could sponsor two more kids a month for that kind of money…
I would love to try this. I need the pick me up that I seem to have lacking every day. I seem to drag through the day with very low energy. Thanks for the opportunitiy.
Would love to try it!
Would love to try this!
I would love to try this not only to lose a few pounds but to feel better as well.
I’d love to try Plexus! I’ve actually been considering it for quite a while now & this helped motivate me to give it a shot!
Thank you for the opportunity!
Seems good!
Sounds like just the thing i need. Thanks!
Intriguing
Sounds like a help. I would like to try it.
I would love to try it!
i’d give it a try
Count me in! Thanks!
Maybe just what I need for a kickstart!
I’d love to try this. Do you know if it is safe if I’m nursing?
Sounds interesting, I would like to try it.
would love to try
I would love to try this since a friend recommended it for my Type 1 diabetic spark plug (her brother is also a Type 1 and found it to help him manage his blood sugar levels). Thanks for the opportunity to try!
I have recently started to work on getting healthy. I walk 2 miles at least 3 days a week and I’m working on my portion sizes. I’m also working on cutting soda and adding water and healthy foods into my diet. I need to lose 100 lbs. I am not doing a diet, I’m doing a life change. Anything that I can find that would boost my energy and help me on this life change journey would be greatly appreciated.
I’ve never heard of this product but it interests me and I would love to try it!
Would love the opportunity!!!
I would love to try this.
I would love to try this before I commit to the high monthly cost.
Would love to try this. Thanks for posting!
Interested in giving it a try.
I would love to try this! Thanks for the giveaway.
Sounds like a pretty good thing to me!
I would like to try it. I looked up the label on the website and I like that it has stevia instead of Splenda or other artificial sweetener.
I’d love to try this . I have 13 more pounds to lose of the 53 that I am aiming to lose this year.
I would like to try this product, I’ve heard a lot about it and the chance to try it free would be awesome.
I would love to try this!
I’m game….bring it on!
I am very interested in trying this! I had never heard about this until this summer when my sister was telling me all about it. She had a few people drop a good amount of weight and credit it towards Plexus…so I am interested in seeing if it is something that would work for me. Thank you for the chance!
Choose me, please! Ive been wanting to try this, but hesitant.
I really want to try this. One of my previous coworkers is using and selling and she swears by it. I just haven’t had the opportunity yet.
I had not heard of this but will look into it. I would welcome a chance to try it for a week!
Sounds great. Thanks!
I would like to try it.
I’d like to try it!
Interesting! I’m so glad you gave some thoughts on this; I’ve heard of Plexus more and more but never really looked into it much. I would be interested in trying it out. :) Thanks for the opportunity!
Looking forward to giving this a try
Thanks for giveaway!
I would love the chance to try this!
I would love to try this! Thanks for the opportunity!
Would love a chance to try this. It seems to be a whole new ballgame regarding my weight and energy once I hit 50 AND perimenopause.
I think this sounds great! Thanks for the chance to try it out!
I would love a chance to win this. I’ve been married for nearly 10 years now and within the first 6.5 years I had 4 kids. I was never able to loose the weight between children and they are just now getting the age where I feel like I can catch up but then we started homeschooling for the first time this year. I could really use some help and motivation to get started!
I’d like to give this a try…Thanks for sharing your thoughts
I would really like to try this! Thanks! :)

Hmmm, cant say Im normally one to jump on these ideas but Im very interested with the way you presented it. Thank you Laura, I think I will check out her site.
:)
I would love to try it!

I’ve been looking for a natural way to jump start my efforts to lose my pregnancy weight. This sounds right up my alley!
I would be grateful to try this! Thanks :)
I’d love the chance to try this
Oh I hope I’m not too late……would love the chance to try it. :)
I’m pretty disappointed to see this on your site. Plexus fills you up with synthetic fiber and blocks fat absorption (remember all those healthy fats we’re so adamant about consuming?) I don’t care if people decide they want to use it anyway, but I wish people would stop pretending it’s so natural and healthy.
