    HI deb

    IT WILL TAKE MORE THAN A WEEK TO SEE ANY RESULTS. ARE YOU EXERCISING? BY WATCHING YOUR FAT INTAKE YOU MAY NOT GET THE SIDE EFFECTS. I HAVE BEEN ON IT FOR AROUND 3.5 MONTHS AND STARTED NOTICING THE DIFFERENCE ABOUT 6 WEEKS INTO IT - BUT MORE SO AT 3 MONTHS. I HAVE LOST 2 INCHES IN BUST, WAIST AND HIPS. I ALSO DO HIGH INTENSITY AQUA AEROBICS AND HAVE LOST WEIGHT FROM INCLUDING THAT IN MY DAILY ROUTINE. STICK WITH IT AND SEE HOW YOU GO.

    DOWNLOAD APP CALLED MY FITNESS PAL - the free one. ENTER your details and then record everything you eat. i have mine set at 1200 calories and i have lost 13 kilos in 4 months. I also do high intensity aqua aerobics and am to start having lymphatic massages which help your fat cells break up. You shouldnt eat more than 30% of fat per day 

      kirstie56 - i have found that the MY fitness Pal has been great. It breaks everything you eat down to Carbs, Fat and PROTEIN. Then you go to nutrients and it gives you cholesteril, sodiuum, what kinds of fat, sugar, basically everything. But dont pay for it! Just use the free version. Let me know how you go. I have lost 17 kilos in 6 months but want to lose more.

      kirstie yes it does. You will plateaux for a while. But a stone in a month is great. Do you exercise? Try to change your routine a bit. ARE you taking 3 capsules per day?
