I was referred to this product by a good friend after she'd been using it, as intended, for 4 months to date. I have been through nutrition training aabout decade ago. So, I know exactly how to loose weight and gain tone (meal planning, achievable/ low impact workouts and goals) at a healthy rate... avg 2-5 lbs a week... *without* the aid of supplements. Tbh, I'm still a bit sus about this product's claims, even after the testimony of my friend, low-level research and the comments here even. So, imagine my surprise when I saw it for 15.99 (with subscription purchase of every 2 mos.)! Still my skepticism wouldn't be silenced, but my curiosity was ready to go. Worst-case I loose 20 bucks. Bonus, I loose 20 lbs. More plausible, it does what it says on the can. So I figure up to 66% potential return on investment... ? As a gambling woman, those are odds I'll take any day. So here's my current experience with this product after 2 days of use: Idkw people were doing with this stuff to give such negative reviews! 🙄 *smdh* I believe in the scientific method: always have a control, first, second and third round testing structure; hypothesize and take detailed notes as often as plausable/ possible, run the test cycle three or more times to confirm/ disprove, report final findings - favorable or otherwise. So, this is how I approached this product. If you're not into dry milk (smell/ taste/ look/ texture) then, this is *not* the product for you. But if you're like me, dipping a wetted finger into your baby's powdered milk formula at every chance, this will be a very familiar (plausibly pleasurable) experience. Tactile wise, it's definitely sticky when wet. It also instantly thickens anything it's mixed with. Also, when you mix it, be thorough; as it's powder with get put into tapioca-esque pearls and then you're stuck with the unpleasantness of randomly biting down on the most bitter/ earthy & just plain "Yuck!" tapioca-like pearls known to humunkind. As previously advised in the comments, putting it in with berries/ citrus + milk is definitely the way to go. As drinking it with str8 water makes it taste like utter ass, with just a touch of nasty. To avoid this, try to make sure it's being mixed well. Yesterday, I put a whole scoop into my one cup of Chiobani blueberry single serve yogurt cup. Boy, lmty... THICC! However I couldn't taste the powder in the mix and noticed no change. Today, via the comments here, I decided to try 1/3 scoop in my cuppa. The only noticeable change was an added earthiness that was easily dealt with by milk, 2 pinches of sea salt and 4 tsps of sugar. That gave it a caramel-like flavor. Next, I added the remaining 2/3 scoop into my cottage cheese and mixed in some berry yogurt. Taste and smell wise 10/10. It has no immediate scent. When it does hit, its not entirely off putting- (to me at least). The powder on it's own is comparable in taste and texture to powdered baby formula. I have yet to see any marked benefits, weight-loss/ skin/hair or otherwise. Not surprisingly as it's only been 2 days. It'll take about 1-3 mos to see some if any. I will update this comment after approx 1 mos./ 2nd mo./ 3mos with my find dings.
