As with everything else this varies. For me at the end of week 2 stuff started to taste funny (metallic) and by week 3 it was pretty much done. (Except vanilla and chocolate and coffee, the first two I never lost)

... just make sure he still eats even though it might not taste right.. or at all. Otherwise this turns into one hell of a weight loss program.
