Timing to take the Pills!

Hey guys! I was just wondering, if you don't know when you're going to eat, can you take the tabs when you eat?

My mother seems to think so, as she has [i:94156f166d]\"more experience.\"[/i:94156f166d]

And if you do take them when you eat do they still work?

Thanks

    I take them before each meal also. I don`t always have lunch/dinner at the same time, but Id say that as long as there`s a few hours inbetween each meal it should be ok.

    I always take mine just as I'm about to sit down to eat. I have read other ladies take theirs up to an hour before eating or up to an hour after eating though.

    I take my just before eating, you can take them before during or up to an hour after eating, I thought this could be useful if you're out and aren't near a loo........ wait til you're sitting down so to speak :lol: :wink:
