I began the diet on the 3rd of June with a goal of sticking with it for 40 days. I told my buddy, who gave it to me as a birthday present that I would have to eat more than 500 calories. Much to my surprise the diet was not a problem. I ate exactly what was suggested with unsalted cashews and unsalted almonds to satisfy my urges for something crunchy. At the end of 40 days I had lost 34 pounds. I'm now in the maintenance phase and continue to monitor my weight on daily basis. I suggest buying a good digital scale so you know exactly what's happening. After the maintenance phases (about 6 weeks), I'm going to resume the VLCD (very low calorie diet) again for 40 days. My goal is to lose 100 pounds. With the drops, this is certainly attainable. I stopped taking my acid reflux medicine when I began the diet. I can go up stairs much easier and walking is no longer a chore. Get the drops, drop the weight.
