    hi

    in my first four weeks of taking these tablets I lost 1 stone because every meal I ate was under 10mg of fat per meal u need to be filling up in fruit and veg limit bread to maximum 2 slices per day and make sure its brown.

    I did not eat any butter crisps sweets biscuits cake pop or drunk any alcohol.

    determination is the key plus in a good point I never had any accidents or near misses because I stayed under 10g of fat per meal been on them 12 wks now and lost 2 stone
