I love that you loose weight so quickly so 2-3 weeks is not "painful" to go through. Though I can never keep the next step after because I feel I'm in need of fat, my skin is dry and I crave avocado, oil, nuts etc. I think I overdue it because after a while I always gain some weight which is probably normal. But for me, I do this 3 weeks twice a year it helps stay in my regular size of jeans, so overall I'm really happy with the product and always keep a bottle handy.
