"after only a few days i was surprised to find that i was easily able to make a smart conscious decision about what i would eat and how much. the &quot;voice&quot; in my mind that would push me to do just about anything to get my hands on huge amounts of really crappy food was gone. here&#039;s the catch: some other reviews say that people felt more hungry. well that&#039;s just mild nausea, like slight morning sickness where you feel like food will fix the sick feeling. drinking lots of water should help with a lot of the side effects. lost 8lbs in 2 1/2 weeks. this medicine works by turning off the &quot;pleasure&quot; of eating so you can eat for nourishment only. this is why you might feel full so fast, it shouldn&#039;t take that much for a human to be satiated."
