It definitely does work. I lost 7kg in 8 weeks on ProPoints (which unfortunately, I have put about4kg back on over christmas, whilst NOT counting). I am loving the fuit too. But as with any new food program, the first three weeks can be unpredictable - you may loose lots, or or may not: after that your body should settle into a pattern with an average of between 0.5 - 1kg a week.
