It's supposed to be the new wonder pill but I'm curious to hear from people who have used it or know someone who has.

Its a load of balony, sure its good for you but without eating the actual stuff raw will do little for you. many companies add preservatives and extra junk that take away its true nutrients. basically any fruit or vegetable organicly grown will do good for your body just remeber the more exotic or bright of the plant color is, the more antioxidents and nutrition the vegetable or fruit will give you

It's a gimmick. Regardless of any berry or product you take, you still need a calorie deficit in order to lose weight. Any diet plan or product that someone buys and loses weight with, they couldn't have done it without the deficit. So in the end, it's just a company making money off of people. A safe amount of weight to lose per week is 1-4 pounds. If you are extremely overweight, then losing 3 or 4 pounds a week is common. If you are somewhat closer to your goals then losing 1-2 pounds per week is appropriate. One thing you should keep in mind is that your body is only capable of removing a certain amount of fat in a given time frame. If you go on a reckless crash diet you may lose weight, but it may not all be fat. You will lose some water weight for sure and you may compromise your muscle mass by too large a margin. When people lose weight they tend to lose muscle in most cases, but you could potentially make that muscle loss worse by being too careless in diet choices. There's some good info for making fat loss go quicker at gutfat.com. An important aspect of losing fat is understanding calories. One thing holds true across all weight loss methods: you need to maintain a calorie deficit in order to lose fat. Knowing what your calorie needs are is crucial to the weight loss process. This formula is the most accurate. RMR (resting metabolic rate) is the base amount of calories your body needs to maintain its functions. Take the end result and increase it by at least 20%. Any exercise you do must be added on top of that. Men: (10 x weight in kg) + (6.25 x height in cm) – (5 x age) + 5 Women: (10 x weight in kg) + (6.25 x height in cm) – (5 x age) – 161
