"i was skeptical. read some reviews and they were so strong for or against. at first i did feel side effects. the first 3 weeks i thought there is no way i can take 4 a day. i listened to my body and waited an extra week to go up to full dose. the side effects of head ache and jittery had gone away by this point. i&#039;m 8 weeks in and i&#039;d say by week 5 i was feeling great! i&#039;m down 20lbs and less depressed. food really doesn&#039;t matter "
