Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I received my product yesterday and have taken 2 doses so far- 1/2 scoop yesterday and 1 full scoop today. So here's my initial thoughts: TASTE: Tastes pretty decent, no different than a "low-carb" protein drink. I agree with a previous reviewer that it's much better if mixed with heavy cream or maybe coconut milk. I bet it would be downright sinful with the SF chocolate syrup that one reviewer mentioned. KETONE READINGS: Definitely makes your ketone sticks read moderate-high for about an hour after use, but I'm wondering if that's really a good thing? Wouldn't you want the ketone bodies to hang around for a bit instead of urinating it all out? EFFECTS: HIGHLY recommend starting with a 1/2 scoop and staying there for a while before moving up to a full scoop if you aren't accustomed to using exogenous ketones. GI distress will likely occur. I haven't noticed a surge in energy or mind focus just yet, but it's only my second dose of the product so time will tell. EDIT 5/23/2017: So here's some things I've noticed after using this product for one week: 1. My ketone sticks are consistently reading as moderate-high, even if I don't drink the product. 2. After starting at 1/2 scoop for the past week, I can now tolerate using a whole scoop without the unfortunate GI side effects. 3. YOU MUST USE AT LEAST 10 OUNCES OF LIQUID WHEN MIXING- NO LESS. Although everyone has a different palate as far as sweet-salty is concerned, I suspect that some reviewers may have underestimated how much fluid they were mixing with the product. 4. It tastes way better with a couple ounces of heavy cream, a cup of water, and a tablespoon of unsweetened cocoa powder. The bitterness of the cocoa powder and the cream balances out the sweetener. 5. And finally, I've lost 6 pounds in the past week! I know the majority of that is water weight, and I am using this product in conjunction with a low-carb diet, but it's more than I've lost doing anything else.
