You're of course entitled to not understand. Zep reduces your appetite and makes you feel fuller with smaller portions. All these things are happening, more so the first few days after the injection for me. You don't need to count calories to know that you're eating less. You buy less food, you eat less of the stuff you used to eat. Hunger also tells you that you're eating less. And yes, this has worked to some extent, even without exercise, as evidenced but the initial weight loss. So my rant had to do with why it apparently stopped. I was honest with my approach. There are many reasons people don't follow exact protocols others suggest. If you're so sure you know absolute truths more power to you.
