I started taking these capsules this week. The first day I didn't really notice a difference in appetite while taking them but almost a week later I haven't been feeling as hungry or craving food the hours I used to before. I'm pretty happy with how I am feeling taking them. I don't tend to taste them again like a few other supplements I take. I like that they are completely natural. I weigh in again on Monday and have to report my weight and inches. I am hoping I've lost a little. I haven't really been exercising since I had the flu but hope to start next week. Wish me luck.
