And i drink at least two litres of water a day. If you think you can improve my diet, please suggest away :)

I used it mixed with south beach diet and I can actually fit into jeans one size smaller within a week. (I followed the South Beach Diet for the first two weeks but made sure I ate 1g of protien per pound) and Im on the third week now where you can add HEALTHY whole carbs. Whatever you can stick with. I find you can eat a ton of healthy food over a little bit of junk food in daily calories.
