It's definitely doing something!
I originally started taking the Hot Momma capsules to curb belly bloat (I'm 47 and definitely perimenopausal). I take a LOT of supplements for weight management along with dietary changes, and didn't think it was doing a heck of a lot, so I went off of them for about 3 weeks. In that 3 weeks, I didn't have any hot flashes, but what I DID notice, was that my weight loss slowed and I was even gaining weight and bloat BACK! NOOOOO! My local Walmart is pretty 50/50 about carrying these on the regular, so I got back on the HM and just went on the membership so I don't have to worry about whether the store had them that week.
So in addition with calorie moderation, diet changes, and proper supplements, including HM, I am down from a size 18 to a 14 in 4 months!
