Day 28

I would say the effectiveness stopped around day 15. Have continued to eat between 2000 - 2500 calories, but it has been progressively more of a struggle. Had a binge day of about 4000, which would have been next to impossible the first two week.

Based on where I was November 10th compared to my last progress pic

Day 30

Last day. Final weight 208.

Will keep you updated in the days ahead if I have any strong rebounds. Initial verdict is that it is something I will keep in my tool box and use again in the spring to get pool ready for the summer.

30 day + update

Appetite has returned to 3500 being my new norm. Have put some weight back on though mostly as a result of replenishing my glycogen and the resulting hydration. No real withdrawal symptoms. Workouts are back to kicking ass.

Updates pic below....actually prefer this look from an every day , Still like the way I look and it’s easy to maintain and feel good perspective.

Nice, just went back and read through all this.
So now that you are done could you give it a rating? And how likely are you to do it again?
You said effectivness wore off around day 15, in that pic I can see alot of oblique deffinition coming through.


Also.. did you get a new phone for xmas?

Yeah, I would say the first 15 days were a lot different than the final 15. The effectiveness and the sides were really strong in the beginning ( had trouble finishing a turkey sandwich and struggled to get 2000 cals a day, but towards the end was quite comfortable eating between 2000 and 2500 and could have eaten more if I wanted to.

I am going to keep it in my toolkit. The results I had I attribute to it. I kept my training the same and didn’t suffer through any diet....I just ate when I wanted, which was a lot more infrequent due to it.

Not sure if it would work as well for boredom or emotional eaters. I could have broken 4000 cals after 15 days if I was so inclined. Makes me wonder if the truly obese who use this benefit from a little bit of placebo after the first few weeks.

Would not recommend it for long term weight loss without drastic lifestyle changes. I am going to put the weight back on, which is fine with me because I know how to take it off. For someone who is obese and thinks this is a magic pill.....it is not. It’s a temporary solution for what to them is a permanent issue (poor diet and lack of exercise)

Wish the phone was an x-mas gift. I was keeping my iPhone 6 until it died, which unfortunately happened about a week before. Damn these things got expensive!
