    hi, I've only been taking it for 3 days and have just managed to go the toilet, im normally very regular, im drinking lots of water and make sure I have a max of 5g of fat per meal, it's normally 1-2g. can anyone tell me if this is normal, or is this the calm before the storm ?? Also does it flush out any existing fat that I have ?? thanks for any help x
