My hubby ordered it but we haven't tried it yet. But I wanted to answer to you to make sure you call and cancel your "subscription" as soon as you get the bottle. They give you 15 Free days from the "ship" date, not the date you recieve it. So they will start charging your credit card. Also, if you get the "free gift" of some other supplement you need to cancel that one seperately or they will charge your card too! Just a heads up. I ended up paying like $80!!! Because I didn't cancel on time. Also make sure you write your cancellation number, the date and the person you talked to cause they tried to sneak another month in after I cancelled!

E.,
That kind of stuff is just modern day snake oil. No one would take a drug that had not been thoroughly tested and the same should go for supplements. Make sure any product you use has some science to back it up. A red flag is "studies have shown that..." The studies need to be on the actual product not the supposed ingredient.
If you want to know about a safe effective weight management program let me know and I will send you some info.

Hi E., it's confusing isn't it? There are so many things on the market that promise a "quick fix" it's almost enough to make us cry.

I know 5 years ago when I began looking I was overwhelmed. Everyone had a book or a "super juice" or a "if you don't eat _____ you will lose 50 lbs" diet answer for me! For crying out loud. I knew all of it was hype, but I was so desperate. So I tried all those others things. No matter how kooky it sounded I tried it. Guess what? NOTHING WORKED. I was about to give up then a friend of mine talked to me about nutritional body cleansing. I thought she was crazy. I had done cleanses before, Plug my body full of herbs and spend 4 days on the toilet NO WAY! She told me this was different.

So I gave her a chance to prove it. I told her I would follow her program for 30 days and if I didn't see any results or I didn't like the colour of the bottles I wanted my money back. She agreed. Crazy lady!

I have to tell you E., to my surprise, something actually worked. I was eating more (better) than I ever had, I was supplementing my food with pure nutrition (no you can't get the nutrients you NEED through food alone) and I was giving my digestive tract a break once a week. Actually I liked the rest day so much I did it 2ce a week. You will not believe what happened! In that first 30 days I dropped 2 pant sizes AND i had more energy and more mental clarity than I had ever had. (You can see my results on my website www.HeyYouGetReal.com)

So in the last 4 years, I have trained and been educated on the benefits of nutrition and how the body does what it is supposed to do when it is fed properly. Not just one "super item" not just "one ingredient. That is what the medical world teaches...a pill for every ill.

Here is what I know to be true:
...it takes more than 1 "thing" to heal the body
...the body requires vitamins, minerals and nutrients to function properly
...our food is not food (just read the ingredients)
...our water is not water (traces of prozac are now being found in our water supply)
...air is not air (you can SEE that clearly)

E., I know that when I addressed the issue of toxicity in my body, I released 42 pounds, went from a size 14 to a 2 and I HAVE KEPT IT OFF FOR 4 YEARS, I have been pharmaceutical free for 4 years, and my children (who also are on a nutritional program) are more brilliant and healthier than I could have ever imagined.

Hi E.,

There is nothing wrong with Acai however it has a little bit more hype over it than it deserves. I have a study in hand that shows that Welch's grape juice (unsweetened of course) has more antioxidants than Noni juice, Acai and also Gogi juice. Grapes are a powerful antioxidant. Antioxidant qualities along with good nutrition is what makes unnecessary weight go away. I started my husband on an absorbable multivitamin/mineral complex 4 years ago and he lost 110 pounds and has kept it off. His activity level didn't change and neither did his eating habits. (He was never a "bad" eater, just couldnt lose the weight.) I lost about 30 pounds with the same routine.

Exercise, nutrition and good living is what makes the body function right and that includes balancing weight. Let me know if you'd like any information on what vitamin I gave him.

Regards,

M.
