When the first came out i did them and the problem is hidden fat, i cannot see how they would work with sw because you have to calorie count and fat watch to make them work and if you are doing sw the main advantage is not having to do those things. I had the orange oil at times and it was horrid, you never knew when it was going to come and i had a stomach ache the whole time. On the plus side i did lose 9lbs in 1 week but as soon as i stopped i put it all back on. Hope this helps.
