    I would also like to keep this less argumentative if possible. I can see a potential thread hack of just going back and forth, for which I don't have time for and it was not my ideal result.

    All I can say is just wait for the ones to try to get their stuff and report back. This may be a while but we will see. If they see or felt ZERO I want them to put that, its fine with me.

    Seeing as how JHarris is a VX member in good standing, owns a VX - (I know cause I've seen him driving it) - and is clearly intelligent enough to stay calm in the face of incoming fire, I'm going to trust him and his research and give this a try. I will post my daily results for the 8 day trial period. It's sure to be riveting!

    Gear 8 Day Trial Baseline

    I am first going to establish a baseline for comparison: I have ADD and for that I take Concerta. I also take B12, Super B-complex, biotin, ginseng, Chromium Picolinate and a multivitamin daily, and then, once a week, 50K IUs vitamin D - on perscription. Since the XM3 has B6, Chromium, and a natural energy blend from the Moringa, I'm dropping the Concerta, B-complex, and ginseng. I'm also reducing my coffee intake from 3 8oz cups a day to about 6oz in the morning and will take the pill around 2pm. The Smart Mix is to be used first thing in the AM and tea before bed.

    I try to work out at least 3 days a week, but the way my work schedule has been going, I haven't been able to do that. I'm pretty tired most of the time, and even with the Concerta, I have trouble focusing and remembering.

    I am hoping for more energy, some weight loss, overall improvement in health and concentration levels. I know that's a lot to hope for in just 8 days, but we'll see.

    A funny thing happened this morning, (not funny haha, funny strange). I awoke bloated because I ate too late at night. Usually, my solution to that is lots of water and coffee to flush my system and about 6 hours later, I feel better. However, this morning, as soon as I woke up, I went to the restroom, did my business and weighed for this report. I weighed 156.6. I drank the Smart Mix with 8ozs water, (per instructions) and started geting ready for work. Less than an hour later, I had to GO! After the restroom visit, I realized my bloating was gone! I got on the scale and got a surprise; 155.6! Was that the Smart Mix? Coincidence? Hmm. Time will tell.

    Tomorrow I will post my results from today.

    I'm confused... which of those products are what we're testing? I thought it was called Zija? Maybe that's what XM3 or Smart Mix are?

    Btw, that pic was hilarious. Looks like a 1970s Latin soap opera.

    Well, whenever anyone goes to the bathroom whatever is excreted is no longer going to add to the reading on the scale. I do it every morning. I wake up hungry, weigh myself, go to the bathroom and weigh less. I eat breakfast and weigh more. It's amazing. There is a 6 pound range I fall into... no breakfast and going to the bathroom I am at 102; A box of Oreo's and a foot long subway while holding it POOF! 108! Been that way for 10 years now.

    I think Gill eats when he's at work because he tends to weigh more when he gets home than he did before leaving the house... Maybe he just doesn't go to the bathroom while on the clock? I'll have to ask him about it...

    Agreed. I usually fluxuate within a 6lb range too. Wish I was at the bottom of that range right now.

    My doctor got me into taking Vitamin D a few years back...especially at my latitude, we don't get enough sunlight to produce it from our skin much of the year.

    Zija is the brand...it breaks down into the smart mix which is potent Moringa; XM3 is accelerated weight loss (by catalyzing ketosis in the body to burn body fat), and the tea breaks down the now excess body fat floating around.

    Some just take the smart mix only. You can still lose weight by just this but just not as quick. It is what I take daily now that I am at optimal weight again.
