The package I received says "DO NOT use for weight reduction". I definitely don't want to gain weight. Does anyone know why it says that?

My opinion is that is for those who would use it as a meal replacement on a restricted diet to lose weight. It says on the label that it is should be used to "increase the protein in the diet" -- I am two years post-op bariatric surgery and I use it to make sure I get enough protein in my diet but it is not my only source of nutrition or even protein.

I don't think it's a problem if man uses it but for losing weight? I doubt it's a good product. For the high price and what you might expect this product I won't recommend at all. Sorry to tell the truth but I hope it may help you to think, if you want to purchase or not.

The product did not work...in fact I ended up gaining some weight. Of course I was watching what I was eating as well. Not a product I would ever endorse. Since stopping use of the product my weight has returned to normal, thus losing at least ten pounds.

I think that like any supplement that isn't regulated by the FDA, you are taking your chances with the outcome. If it hasn't worked for you...it doesn't. Perhaps it doesn't work for anyone. Unless you are skinny because you have a health issue, you may have to train yourself to exercise less and eat more.

I actually didn't take the pills except for a couple of them whuch made me very ill.I suggest going on a low carb and low sugar diet. Rather than this stuff. I honestly am scared to know people are taking this poison. When I took it one hour before a meal it made me more hungry than ever.adding fiber will give you the same fullness and it is natural.

I just started about a week ago. I lost 2.2 pounds this week. This is not meant to replace diet and exercise. It is meant to aid in weight management and help with hot flashes. I am on Weight Watchers and walk 6 days a week. I was not seeing more than a pound or so a week. Menopause does change our bodies and metabolism. So, I will see if the additional weight loss continues next week, but I was definitely feeling less cravings. There is no magic pill for weight loss. It takes work. But, if this helps, while I do all of the other steps, I will be grateful.

This doesn't work. It will give you a nice Placebo effect only for a while. I recommend the books Eat this Not That. It will help with lifestyle changes, instead of a lose weight quick scheme.

this product actually seemed too slow my weight loss. I personally do not feel it is worth the money. I follow the program very strictly to its directions but I have to say it did not work for me. I've done much better before I used this product and once I stopped using it my weight loss progress got much better from simply eating better foods and incorporating exercise whenever I could.again, my weight loss actually slowed as I used this product which is very strange. Good luck on meeting your goals!

I have... Unsure if it will enhance my results... It just increased my appetite & place pounds on me faster. I feel sorry for under-weight people who hasn't tried this product. I can officially say my search is over (happy tears!!) ... My only issue now is how to manage the weight I gained. Love my bigger hips & breast size... But my stomach has become an issue :( because that also grew lolol. I even stopped taking the product for 2 weeks to see if the weight would go away. I was 110 pounds Before the product Afterwards my weight jumped to 150 in 4 mo. It creeped me out a bit so I stopped for a little while and lost only 5 pounds. I have...

You know, I've not seen any weight loss but I feel much better after using it. Perhaps the weight loss will come in time but for now I think it is just making me stronger. Hope this helps....

Hi Dionne. I am not a chemist and don't know how it works. My guess is, based on my current experience, that it seems to be functioning as an appetite suppressant. Weight loss is all about calories in versus calories out. Some of us seem to have cravings or impulses for certain foods that get totally out of control. I experience that all the time, but this supplement seems to be counter-acting that. Best wishes.

I have been using it for a month and I have lost 8 pounds. I am only taking it once a day instead of twice a day. Taking it twice a day proved to be too much for me but when I decreased the dose it still gives me amazing energy and I am still loosing weight. I would definitely encourage you to try this product.

No, i have not. I ordered the smallest size package available just to test it out since it was something new to me that i'd put in my body. I've been taking it at least 4 months and i've noticed no change. I dont if its because im taking such a small amout or if its because i dont take it alone(i put it in smoothies) ), or because it simply does not work. I believe this is the type of product you'll have to try yourself to see. It could work dofferently for you.

It seems to be a fine source of plant-derived protein. "Belly fat" is really only addressed by change in whole-body composition (as reflected in ratio of lean body mass to body fat or as % body fat). This is accomplished with a balanced lifestyle routine of sensible nutrition, load-bearing resistance training, and aerobic/interval cardio training. If less calories are eaten than are burned, weight loss will, in every case, occur. Loss of more body weight than a pound or two per week will usually result in loss of more muscle (& even bone!) than fat. Unwise. Counterproductive. If no more than a pound or two is lost each week, exercise is appropriate, and adequate protein is consumed (probably less than some body builders think is needed), then, over a period of months (yes, months-or, for some people with lots of room for improvement, even a few years), noticeable physique changes can be expected. No food, supplement, product, exercise, or technique (short of liposuction) will target a specific body area for fat reduction. Claims abound, but there is no silver bullet. Ty W's point (just adding more calories will just add more body weight) is important. This product would only be of use to you if you we're using it within a whole nutritional plan appropriately arranged to facilitate whatever body composition goals you establish. However, Ty W., this product, while calorie dense, contains no whey. Soy protein has no Cholesterol, which is a concern for some people, is not dairy based like whey protein (could be an allergy issue for some folks), and satisfies various ethical concerns for many vegans. This product has been satisfactory for me and for my wife. No complaints.

Hi Scott, I am not qualified to recommend how anyone else uses this supplement. I know a cancer survivor who used it for a while. I use it daily and plan to do so until I don't feel I need it. I researched it made my own decision. I tapered up until I felt my system was getting enough. Diarrhea is how some people determine they have enough. I feel that it is very helpful to me. I do take it on an empty stomach. No issues with long-term use that I have read about. Best wishes, Lynne
