Hi Ki! I used BodyWise products for quite some time. They are an excellent product. I used AM and PM plus the workout pills. You do have to take a lot of pills and I also used the bars. These are very tasty BTW. The one thing I will say is that its hard on your stomach because of all the antioxidants that are in these products. Unfortunately I had bad gas (sorry for being so blunt) and was in the bathroom far too much. It was just too harsh for my stomach to take. Also wasn't finding that I was eating a lot of food either. I was much leaner than I am now but like I said just couldn't keep it up because of the stomach issue. I just love to eat and would much rather derive my nutrients from food than from pills. These are great if you happen to be an instructor and can't always pack up food due to maybe how many classes you have scheduled for that day. You'll get all of your nutrients you need from these pills. Janis doesn't eat a lot of food. She emailed me her what she eats all day. She'll have a fruit smoothie for breakfast, a turkey sandwich on 2 slices of whole wheat bread with lettuce and tomato for lunch, a bar for snack in the afternoon and then either chicken, turkey or fish w/veggies and a salad for dinner. She might've said rice in there but don't remember. She is much leaner now but I thought she looked scary in her new tapes opposed to the way she looked in her previous tapes. She looked better before and I met her a few years ago and she looked GREAT then. I personally don't think you need them but if you want to plunk down your money go ahead. Maybe you'll have better luck with it than I did. Let me know how you feel if you decide to purchase the pills. Best, Kathy
