does it matter if i take all 3 tablets each day. today for instance i had a rough nights sleep as partner was ill (man flu) and i am a light sleeper so wasnt about until 11am also when im off work i love to have a lie in but this now means that i had lunch at about 1.30 and then will have dinner at about 6 so i will only be takin the 2 tablets today so does any body have any advice on if this will make any difference ? thank you girlys xx

    you only take the tabs if your eating food with fat in, so if u eat a meal that u know has 0 fat in it then you wont need to take it as it will have no effect so its a waste of a tablet, same goes if u skip a meal

    Actually..... my doctor told me to take a tablet even if I miss a meal as the latest research shows that the pill still goes to work on food you've eaten previously.

    My feeling is that it can't do any harm, at worst it's a waste of a pill...

    it's all a bit confusing as they tell you that the tablets work an hour before/after meals but that does seem to make the 30g's only a day a bit of a nonsense, personally if I don't have a meal I don't have a tablet
