Any thoughts?

Meal replacement huh? Sounds okay I guess. The results are very impressive, I hope they are all true. Do you know how much this program cost?

This diet is only for overweight/obese people and by the looks of it, it seems safe and effective. I would guess that this is an expensive program. The fee of being monitored by medical experts is not cheap.

I don't qualify to be on this program but if I did, I don't mind if I spend a couple of dollars as long as I get the results I desire. I would feel safe since there are doctors monitoring your health and such. The results from 20,000 patients sounds very convincing. Some diets just claim to be effective but this one sounds legitimate.
