You have to know how to use this
I don't usually write reviews but felt the need to write one on this product. I can't speak about the sellers on Amazon who are selling this because I have bought this through a doterra rep. I will buy from here after the bottle I'm using runs out because i have bought other doterra oils from here and they seem to me to be the real deal.
I've read a lot of people saying that this oil is hard to take internally and I just wanted to share what really works for me. I make a smoothie every morning with an orange, a few bananas, water and ice in a blender and I add about 4 drops of this oil to about 4 cups of this smoothie. You can tell there is oil in the drink because it is pretty strong but mixed up for me it tastes pretty good, I have no problem with the taste. I don't drink this throughout the day but drink it in a few hours and I can say it has decreased my appetite significantly. I have started a walking routine several times a week and this does help with my energy and improves my mood. I am staying off the scale for now so I can just focus on getting in shape and the scale for me discourages me but I have noticed my pants are easier to get into.
I tried this product awhile ago putting it in water and like others it was very hard to swallow so i stopped using it and I was not doing any exercise at the time either. For me personally if I get some exercise in and use this product it does help me stay away from junk food and too much snacking. Today, I had only half of a six-inch sub and saved the rest for tomorrow, something I don't usually do, I've used diet pills in the past and they made me too jittery, I haven't noticed any side effects with this product at all.
I know weight loss can be so frustrating so I hope this review can help someone.
