"i have been taking it about 4.5 weeks and i&#039;m down 16 pounds as of this morning. i was skeptical because diet and exercise only toned me without any weight loss. i&#039;m currently at 2.4 and move up to 3.0 saturday. the only side effects i&#039;ve had were nausea in the beginning and heartburn throughout. i would recommend this for anyone that has problems losing weight."
