Not a pleasant experience, but does the job.
Followed the directions on the box and boiled 1 cup of water and let tea bag steep for 4 minutes. Tastes like nothing and is easy to get down. I don't understand why some reviewers mention bad taste or smell; people over exaggerate. I drank the tea around 8pm and woke up around 12:30 am to go. (I was also sure to drink plenty of water after drinking the tea) Went once and thought that was it. Woke up again and went two more times during the night and that's when the cramps kicked in; very unpleasant at first but tolerable. I believe cramps while consuming this product is inevitable. I slept through the rest of the night and woke up with an empty feeling stomach. It's similar to the feeling of a night when you had too much to drink and you have to vomit everything out… sore, achy and no appetite. I skipped breakfast and had a light lunch. It is 4pm, nearly 16 hours after emptying the contents of my stomach and I still have an achy feeling with not much of an appetite. Still drinking plenty of water to flush everything out. Product does what it's meant to do however it is not a pleasant experience. On a postive note, it has kept me from the temptation of eating junk today as I prepare my body for eating clean for the next few weeks.
