This stuff tastes awful especially the first or second time drinking it, but I have to say that it does the job when it comes to helping maintain weight. It also comes in capsule form but I havent tried that so I cant comment on how good it is. The tea does give you a bit of a stomachache at first kinda like a crampy feeling, so its nothing to be alarmed at. Most people drink it once a day but ive been drinking it only 3 times a week and it feels ok. So yeah, if anyone is looking for that sorta thing, try it!
