Hi there;

I thought I would just chime in and tell you what works WONDERFULLY for me.

I use Benefiber. Not the orange one because it has aspertame in it. Just regular Benefiber powder. It dissolves clearly, no residue, no taste, NO NOTHING. It's fiber.

I do 2 teaspoons in my morning coffee and in the evening, I do 2 teaspoons in my evening tea. You can put this in ANYTHING EXCEPT SODA. No carbonated anything.

I never drink soda of any kind so all I do drink is water, And I use a product called True Orange and I just pour two little packets in a glass of water, and I add two teaspoons of the benefiber.

Since the benefiber has absolutely no taste at all, all I taste is the refereshing orange.

Next morning, HELLO!!!! (as soon as I come home from breakfast).

My routine does not consist of "get up and go", never did that. I have to have my coffee first.

So after I walk home from the coffee shop, my "system", gets to working and HELLO!!!! when I get home.

Feels great.

To me, Benefiber is the best thing since my sprouts!!!

lol
