i think its very effective in loosing weight and when you drink water when you wake up in the morning, you are actually flushing out the toxins in your body also (naa ko na interview na lola who's 98 yrs old to date, she can still walk and eats what she wants -no restrictions and her secret is drinking lukewarm water first thing in the morning). Good job in posting this information smurky, i will try your "beauty" regimen...
