It depends on how you were eating before. If you already ate fairly well you probably won't see the drastic differences as some do. I was similar, not any crazy weight loss but I already ate fairly decent and wasn't way overweight. I noticed mostly better overall feeling in my joints and muscle...
For $1000 shipped I will include brass, dies, bullets and rifle with rings.
