I've only been using this powder for about a month now but it's become my mainstay already. It's outstanding. I have two shaker bottles worth a day (about 2 table spoons of powder in water with juice per bottle) and it really cuts my appetite. Once I have a bottle I'm just not hungry anymore. I don't need to lose weight but it's having that effect because I just don't feel like eating. Also this powder lets me get a much wider variety of good green plants than I can find at the local Wally World. Really it's a better way to do things. When you buy fruit at the store you’re paying by weight. That weigh is mostly water weight. Also you’re getting fruit that was probably sprayed with pesticides, might be GMO, will spoil in a week or so, is a hassle to drag home, and has been handled by half the town. All that is eliminated with this powder. I love it.
