Does Plexus Slim Really Work?

Plexus Slim is a weight loss supplement and a business opportunity all rolled into one. Many health products are sold this way, and it’s either something that you will appreciate because it’s like having your own consultant when you buy the product, or it’s something you will shy away from because you just want to click the Order Now button but you can’t. So let’s see what all this entails, and whether or not you should try their products, or get involved with this with your own business.

Overview
In this economy, we’re all looking for ways to get ahead, and network marketing might sound appealing to you. They claim that it is a business model that thrives in a down economy. It’s true enough that people always want to lose weight, no matter what the economy is doing. But you have to ask yourself if this is the best use of your time and resources, or whether a different business would better serve your unique talents and interests. And as far as taking this product to lose weight, you have to size it up against other diet products on the market and see how it compares.

The Claim
Plexus Slim claims that their products offer a safe way for you to lose weight. They also state that they can help you regular your blood sugar levels, and also help to keep your blood pressure at a healthy level. They further claim that it helps you get your cholesterol levels to a good place, and that it does this without using any stimulants like caffeine, without replacing any of your meals, and without using shakes. They say that it’s fast and easy, which saves time and allows you to finally get a handle on your weight loss efforts.

For their business opportunity, they claim that there is almost no risk involved with getting started, that it’s a low-cost way to start your own business, that it offers the chance at residual income, the flexibility to work your own hours, the ability to train and motivate others, and can even offer tax benefits that come with owning and running your own business.

The Hype
These sort of set ups always involve some hype to them, usually in the form of the affiliate or rep trying to get you excited about either taking the supplements or joining the business as a salesperson.

The Cost
Plexus Slim ranges in cost by which product you are interested in. A 30 day supply of the original formula is $85. If you want to combine that with their accelerator it’s $115. You can only order through a rep, and if you don’t have someone that referred you, they make you call customer service that will put you in touch with a rep in your area so that they can get the credit for the sale.

You can get started in the business for $135, which pays for a one year membership, a website you can send interested people to, and some products that you can use to show people what the actual product looks like.

The Commitment
With any weight loss program, you have to at least be committed to take the product as directed, and following through with any extra instructions they give you, such as eating sensibly and exercising regularly. Aside from that they say this is a fast and easy way to lose weight, and their process includes both a pill and a powder that you would need to consume, so it seems like it is pretty low on the commitment meter.

As far as the business side goes, you typically get what you put in, and there are no two people that would run a business the same way. One person might look at their area and think that there’s no one to sell to, while the next person looks at the same area and sees a lot of opportunity. Probably the best bet would be to document yourself taking this and losing weight with it, and then sharing your story as a way to convince others to take it. Before and after pictures usually work the best for things like this.

Evaluation
The Plexus Slim system has been shown to be effective in a least a few individuals. It’s almost impossible to get any accurate data from a reliable third party, because almost everyone you see telling you that it works will be trying to sell you on it. It’s something that you’d have to try yourself if you want to get to the bottom of it, but it’s up to you whether you want to get involved with it or not. There are plenty of other weight loss products out there that aren’t involved with a network marketing model, and allow you to simply by their product online without having to go through an individual.

If you’re sizing this up as a possible business opportunity, you would definitely want to try the product out first to see if it helps you lose weight. It will be a tough sell if you tried it and it had no effect. However, if you are seeing results, and you fall in love with the product, that passion can incite others to want to try it as well. This is where being heavy can actually pay dividends, because if you’re able to make a dramatic turnaround like they do on The Biggest Loser, people will have no choice but to listen to you and will want to order from you after you tell them how you did it.

Final Plexus Slim Review

Plexus Slim has a streamlined system in place. Their packaging is good, their webpage looks sharp, and there are people making money with it. As far as it being an effective weight loss system, it probably is, but at the price point it goes for you could be having success with a different product and avoid the whole MLM scheme going on.

Our Recommendation
Unless you’re thinking of joining this as a business opportunity, we’d say pass on getting the products. There are simply too many other choices out there for you that provide less hassle, and are peer reviewed to work. However, if you are going to embrace this as a business, we recommend trying it out, especially if you have a lot of weight to lose and have tried several other diet products, and have been trying to lose weight for years. This is the kind of story that engages others and gets them on board with you.
