This product does exactly what it is supposed to do - keeps the septic tank curning - flush it down the drain once a month and you are good to go! We have this on a recurring shipping, that way, we do not have to worry about it at all!

I have been using this off and on since October after reading about it in an ad in a magazine. It really does work but when you think about it each 8T serving with water is only 180 cal, that's 540 cal per day if you substitute all 3 meals as recommended. Naturally you're going to lose weight. You would lose on any meal plan if that is all you ate. Your "snacks" are very low cal like veggie broth (5 cal/serving). The big draw is the amount of protein that is in the shake. It does help in keeping you satisfied for about 3 hours (in my case). The powder supposedly resets your metabolism, so that's a plus as well.
