It's not exactly a 5. Technically, if you drink a full glass of water (even without the pill) an hour before eating, you fill up your stomach with water therefore your eating is reduced. I've been taking this pill for about a week with its instructed glass of water and pill and I feel myself eating less...but I'm going to finish this bottle and continue the "water one hour before eating" part without the pills...I dont want to let the pills go to rest...
