I badly need to lose weight for health reasons, and in desperation have just ordered a 3 month subscription of these supplements from a reputable company. I have metabolic syndrome/insulin resistance, which makes weight loss harder, I get so hungry. I'm hoping they help regulate my appetite, improve satiety and thus eat less and decrease snacking. The reviews are variable. I'd be really interested to hear from anyone who's tried them, and if they did help how long was it before they started to work?
