I have a friend that's released* weight recently and said it's been so easy.
- eat only within a 6 hour window (ie 12-6)
- eat protein one day, carbs** the next and a combo meal every couple weeks
- activate the brown fat cells which burn fat (easy 15 min video on youtube - search Just Swing Arms to Activate Fat Eating Cells to Lose Weight 70 Times Faster)
- take berberine (1000mg in the am)
- take garcenia for healthy metabolism 2-3 times a day (1000 mg)
This is what is working for them - may not be for everyone but definitely cheaper than $200.
* losing means you want to find it again
** low glycemic versions (ie brown not white rice/bread/pasta, berries not watermelon...)
