A Better Way


For most of my life, when others have talked about foods they can't have on a diet I have either been right there joining in the conversation with them...or feeling guilty that I'm not currently on a diet, knowing I need to lose weight.  Well, not any more...I have found a BETTER way!  :)  And it doesn't involve counting calories or fat grams, a list of forbidden or limited foods, "cheat" days, or hours at the gym!  I've said it before, and I'll say it again...it is BY FAR the easiest AND most effective thing I have EVER done to lose weight!  :)

The above picture is a perfect example of what happened with me this past Thursday night!  I was helping out at an event at our church, serving pizza before the event.  Next to me was a lady whom most would never imagine was on a diet or even needed to be...but as the night went on, I realized she was because she was talking with one of the other ladies from our church about the diet they were both currently on...one that involves powdered and/or pre-packaged meals and apparently (by what I gleaned from their conversation), only allowed ONE "cheat meal" per MONTH!!!  I have been on diets like this...and I can tell you from experience, there's nothing in me that would ever want to try that kind of diet again!  Just way too much temptation (which is something I don't deal well with), which means that the risk of failure is WAY too high!  All the while, we are serving pizza to those in attendance at the event...which means handling it (with gloves on), smelling it, seeing it...all those things that tempt the most.  When we were done serving, the other lady walked away, most likely feeling deprived...while I grabbed a slice of cheese pizza.  With the meal came 2 slices of pizza, chips and a drink.  I did have one more slice of pizza (because I don't like the edges, part of my first slice was still on my plate & later went in the trash) and a bottle of water...but that was it!  Once I had my almost 2 slices of pizza, I was completely satisfied and had NO desire for the chips (or anything else for that matter)...and neither did I feel the desire to have anything to eat once I got home after the event (which was several hours later).  AND...I lost weight!  :)

In fact, I've lost almost a full 4 pounds since my last blog post!  I am now at 27.4 pounds lost...I have now lost TWO POUNDS MORE weight than my 15-month old weighs!  It's not a fast weight loss, I'm averaging about a pound a week at this point (sometimes more, sometimes less)...but everything I've every heard or read about weight loss says that the healthiest (and most lasting) way to lose weight is to lose an average of 1-2 pounds per week.  So...I'm still on track!  :)  This is no fad diet!  It's not even a diet in the weight-loss sense of the word!  If I want pizza, I eat pizza (granted, I eat a lot less of it than I used to...but that's a GOOD thing)!  If I want cookies, I eat cookies.  NOTHING is forbidden and is only limited by me paying attention to my body's signals.  When I feel satisfied, I stop eating.  Of course, if I eat past the full point, I'm not going to lose weight.  This isn't a miracle pill where I could continuously eat more than my body needs and still lose weight...it just helps me to listen to my body's signals better by taking away the cravings and keeps me from feeling deprived.  As a result, food no longer has the control over me that it used to have, and I lose weight.  As far as I'm concerned, that's a win-win!

There are people taking Plexus that lose weight a lot faster than I am and a few that lose it a little slower.  Everyone's body is different...and that's OK.  That's exactly why you see on every weight loss product advertised with testimonials the disclaimer "results not typical, your experience may vary."  They do this to cover themselves.  They can't promise you will lose 30 pounds in 30 days because everyone is different.  By the same token, Plexus doesn't promise anything crazy like that, either.  BUT they do offer you a 60-day MONEY-BACK guarantee if you aren't satisfied for ANY reason!  I haven't seen too many other weight loss products offer that kind of guarantee!  Some offer a couple of weeks, maybe even as much as 30 days, but most offer no guarantee at all!  With 60 days, you have two whole months to see for yourself how Plexus works for you!  :)

I do sell the products...but I only do that because I believe in them and have seen the results myself!  I will not sell anything that I feel isn't a good value for the money...I don't believe in taking advantage of someone else just for the sake of a sale.  But, when I consider how much my health and energy has improved since starting Plexus, I can tell you, it's worth EVERY penny we spend on it!  I originally started selling Plexus simply so that I could buy it at wholesale...but when others started seeing how it was working for me, they wanted to know what I was doing and how they could get it, too.  And so...I started selling to others!  Now, I have two other people on my team who are doing what I do...getting their own product at a discount, and one of them has had such success she has long passed me!  :)  I love that I get to help others make something better of their lives by getting healthy, and for those who want it, earning an extra paycheck every month!  :)  If you are interested in Plexus, let me know!  You can order the products directly from my website (www.plexusslim.com/karaj) and they will be shipped to you in a few days.  If you'd like to know how you can order them at wholesale and even earn an extra paycheck by helping others, just contact me at karaj.plexus@gmail.com and I'll be happy to answer any questions you have and help you get started!  :)
