let me tell you--from the first day you order it--for me I filled out some internet info then the rep called sometime after that and I forgot about what I filled out but the Day that rep calls and takes your order lets say April 1st, she will take your credit card order---you won't get it till about 7 days later---BUTTTTT---watch out---you will pay the $3.95 (?) s/h then at phone order but then on the 21st day later they will take out $79.99. they tell you to try it free for 21 days--but NOT true!!!  they count from the day you place the order to the 21st day you placed the order and then WATCH---your bank account!! it is refundable within 21 days but by the time you get it and try it you are only on it about 14 days and by that time it is too late to cancel the order because they need it BACK with left overs if your not happy ---HMMMMMM---GIMMICK.

altough I did many studies on this---it could be a placebo with fillers. the amount of berry in it is 250mg but it is the colon cleanse that is the bigger focus in it.--650 mg.  you can probally get the same results with metamucil !!!  cheaper and save 79.99 + 3.95--it comes to about $42/bottle.  I think if you watch your calories, carbs, fats, sodium and salt every day and keep a journal as I have, i've lost nearly 70 pounds --took 14 months--so not tooo bad, but you ask me if this works???  I want to say yes--and maybe no.I think the bloating and gastro is better but you can get those SAME results with proper food combination, lots of water, green and dandeloin tea, 4-6 small meals and eating fruit alone and eating carbs and vegies alone at a meal and eating your protein and vegies alone at a meal and wait no more than 3 hours between those meals but you can eat 20 minutes after a fruit or fruit meal...hope this help. BTW---I am still on acai berry edge since i paid for it and figured i'd use it till gone. so I tell you, it is cheaper to do what I said and keep your $ in your pocket but it won't hurt to try if you like----

what does everyone think of these different oats? my research has showed that old fashioned is the best and has all the nutrients. the quick oats are steamed and the a lot of fiber removed so your just eating a lump of carbs--BUT-- if you compare the package, they both have the same nutritional value--rather odd. I don't eat instant or microwaved foods--it must be cooked on the stove, even if I cook it and leave it in the frige for the next morning if I know I won't have time so I prepare it ahead of time...but it must be cooked on the stove.

INSTANT OATS

OLD FASHIONED OATS

QUICK OATS

some replies have mentioned making a smoothie with oats.

anyone have a recipe for that and are we talking raw oats?

the only reason I ? over doing the oats is because someone Iknow is into a strict diet and weight training. he thought that maybe it was just too much and that's why I had a slow weight loss and stand still for sometime. I don't understand that reasoning but realized that oats are the perfect morning fuel and just by adding exercise it changed the diet results w/o changing the oats.

you would think oats are top priority--I can't get enough. 1/2 cup is 150 cals 27 CB & 3 fats in the right direction to start the day. yes--near perfect diet food-I agree.

wow--you fix it exactly how I do but I also add 1 TB wheatgerm. while the oats are cooking in the pan (1/2 c oats and 1 c filtered water) I add 1 c fat free milk when they are almost cooked and the applesauce--or a fresh apple from my apple trees. lots of cinnamon and of course the wheat germ! but thought it was holding me back from steady weight loss--instead I increased the daily exercise and it's successful.  thanks for your feedback! oats---for life--my farm animals live on oats--and grass---if I could go out and graze on grass I would add that into my diet too! lol

just started indoor exercise, 15 min/day. it just may be that I need to increase good calories but I think I calculated my target daily intake should be 12-1500 cals/day.
