"have been on it two weeks today.  starting weight 211 (i am 5&#039;1&quot; tall).  i&#039;m down nine pounds.  lost six of those the first week and three the second.  doing it in combination with a low-carb diet.  haven&#039;t exercised yet, but i&#039;m thinking i better start.

side effects: dry mouth.  at the start, i felt a little jittery and very talkative, but those side effects have subsided.  no insomnia or racing heart.

it has helped tremendously with my snacks and cravings.  i am a nervous chewer and would snack all day long at work on sugary stuff and often wash it down with a soft drink.  now, i drink water at work and have one snack (usually an atkins bar or other low sugar product), and i get through just fine.  no gnawing hunger pangs."
