I needed to lose weight because of health issues. Most of the time I even take it with my meals rather than a 1/2 hour before as recommended. I have lost 4 kg without dieting or exercising and even eating dessert. Even when I go completely crazy, like over Thanks giving and Christmas and put a few pounds back on, I am back to losing within a few days not weeks as with other diet plans. The biggest change has been my belly fat. That was the first thing to go. I am highly recommending this product.
