I ordered with these capsules before a two-week all-inclusive vacation to not unduly increase. Previously I had used Formoline L112, I did not want to buy but given the high price again, especially since I was satisfied with the effect not 100%. While on vacation I have ever taken the tablets half an hour before the main meals (breakfast and dinner). As a rough estimate, I have every day at least 3000kcal eaten (at home there are always the normal for a woman 2000kcal), but I tried to eat some carbohydrates, but lots of cheese, meat and fried vegetables in sauce ... and many desserts .. . ;-). For this I am about every two days (may be only every been 3rd) went for 30min to the gym and am otherwise the "usual holiday" pursued activities, that is lying by the pool, swim and make one or two walk. At home, I drive every day by bicycle to work (2x 30min) and am otherwise quite active. I had on the return flight now already suspected the worst, but then the surprise on the scale - I had taken even 1/2 kg! Have a precaution also another scale used but the result is the same. So I'm super happy and would definitely order again, the preparation. For me it has the desired effect more than achieved :-)
