"on week 3 and a half.  have learned most my &#039;side effects&#039; are from being hungry from forgetting to eat, caffeine withdrawal from no longer needing 6  cups a day for a bit of energy.  now, i eat small amounts of healthy foods that taste so good to me and dont make me feel sick.  foods i used to eat now make me nauseous.  i have plenty of energy. small amounts now give a full feeling.  i enjoy slow eating now and all the tastes.  i got dry mouth at first but now don&#039;t as i drink water like everyone says you should.  only now i enjoy it.  i was irritable the first two weeks but think that was the caffeine withdrawal.  no longer need a secret sugar or pasta fix either.  lost 12 pounds first two weeks.  each day losing 1-3 pounds."
