I like this product. I am not one to buy supplements, however, an internal medicine doctor from a respected university advised I take it along with probiotics and amylase, protease, and bromelain. I have been using as directed. She also said to not eat sugar and increase exercise. I had been exercising with little results. After I added the supplements, my results improved. I don't think people should place unrealistic expectations on a supplement, but I believe it does what it says. Your cravings are lowered, it helps you stick to your diet. I like adding the probiotics and enzymes as that also aids satiety. I would highly recommend this product if you are serious in your efforts to lose weight by changing your diet, exercising and just need that support that a supplement gives. This is a great one!!!!!Do not take more than directed as the green tea has been shown to be hard on your liver.
