It was hard to remember which pill to take at which time. I also don't eat 3 meals a day so I am only taking one or two of the pills that you have to consume an hour before meals. Additionally, I don't eat on a regular schedule either so it is hard to remember to take that pill. I am happy that the powder doesn't change the flavor, much, of the drink in which it is used. However, I wish it came in loose powder form instead of a packed cake. I have to break it up in order to get the powder into the scoop. I have not seen any decrease in weight but I am not nearly as hungry at night for snacks as I was before I started these products. I was hoping to see better results sooner than I am. For now, I will attribute that to the reduced intake of pills due to my eating schedule. I just ordered the Probiotic solution to help with my silent acid reflux. Interested in seeing how that helps.
