"my bmi is 33. bottom line, this works, no or minimal side effects. i keep losing, not hungry anymore, and fill after a few bites at a meal. i need a new belt already. 4 loops in 2 weeks. stomach keeps shrinking. before i would go to the fridge all day and snack, and never feel full at meals, it is incredible. i feel 20 years younger and a lot more active. all within 2 weeks."
