Gonna Keep Going
Warning, review is lengthy. I feel as though short one word/one sentence reviews were not remotely helpful when I purchased this product so I will give a more elaborate review in order to possibly help someone on the fence. Background: I was/am 5' tall 139.5 pounds 41 years old as of 3/2/17. I was always around 115 pounds my entire life until I had my fourth son almost 4 years ago. After having him I could only get down to 139.5. I snacked and ate a lot which didn't cause me gain over the 139.5 steady hold but could not lose weight this way either. By a lot I am not exaggerating, I ate 3 meals a day (usually one of them being fast food) and tons of snacks in between (for example I could easily down a package of Milano cookies within 24 hours along with other snacks). Yesterday 3/9/17 was once week since I started to take them. I lost 3 pounds in that week. The gummies smell awful and although they don't taste great by any means they aren't horrible either. I eat a very small breakfast (a handful of crackers, a piece of toast) then take 2 gummies around 11:30. For lunch I eat a sandwich. Take 2 more around 5:00. I have noticed that I don't have much of an appetite at meal times. I do eat I just do not OVER eat now. Much smaller portions and much healthier. I do not have any desire to eat fast food, even when everyone else in the office has it. I also noticed that I have VERY little desire to snack. No desire throughout the day and very minimal at night. One evening I ate 2 Milano cookies and was perfectly satisfied with that and another evening ate a small handful of M&Ms, again, enough to satisfy a sweet snack desire but not a need to eat an entire bag as I could have before, I do not work out. I work from 7:30 am until 4:30 pm, go home and make dinner, clean up, etc. I think with even some exercise I could have lost more than 3 but am content with 3 per week until my goal is met. Now today 3/10 I ate my handful of crackers this morning and did not even remember to take he gummies until after 1:00. These gummies have definitely put my urges to overeat and snack to bed. I have no adverse reactions as of now that I could report (no sick feeling, headaches, etc.). I will continue for the next several weeks and update as needed.
