Jenny's Juice Plus Journey Comes to an End

It's been a long, long time since my last post and for good reason: I had simply lost interest in Jenny's inane advertising with JP. The same false promises, uneducated claims, attempts to con more people into joining this blatant pyramid scheme, etc, etc.

In fact, I got so fed up with Jenny's crap that one day I just lost it and posted this in response to one of her ads where she claimed JP is not a pyramid scheme:



Within minutes Jenny blocked me.

Fast forward to today. While procrastinating at work, I thought I'd see if her JP group page was still active - no results. Tried Googling, in depth Facebook searches - no results - it has simply vanished.

Jenny has officially packed in with Juice Plus.

14 months of spamming adverts, 14 months of motivation to make it big in "network marketing" and to make a six figure income to buy a big house, flashy cars and luxury holidays, 14 months to go on her own weight loss journey and get that killer beach body.

14 months of life, gone to waste.

In those 14 months I have gone from strength to strength. I have now got a cut diet in full swing, taking into account my daily macros, and I am happy with the progress to date. I've learned valuable lessons such as not overhyping calories, although important, and not overhyping protein (and I am pleased to note that the "protein farts" have disappeared!). Gym work is continuing fine and I am committing to adding in one, two or three new exercises each week to make sure I'm not sticking to the same rigid work-outs.

All of that without wasting money on JP capsules and shakes.

I'd like to think that it finally dawned on Jenny that Juice Plus does not change lives, because it doesn't. Unless you're high up the pyramid in the early days of the company, it's not something that's going to make you rich. But most importantly, I hope it at least makes Jenny consider that maybe the products are nowhere near as magical as other distributors claim they are. Taking capsules and shakes don't make you lose weight. All you need to do is eat less. I sadly don't think Jenny will ever lose weight, I believe she is simply used to looking for quick-fix solutions without ever committing to long-term health goals.

14 months later, she's still obese, I doubt she made any proper money off the scheme.

Here's hoping her next 14 months will be more fruitful through proper hard work, dedication and motivation.
