I have never bought anything from an informercial before, but it made sense.. i have been under a tremendous amount of stress, and even though I was eating 'well' (tho not low carb at the time) and working out five times a week (and I mean treadmill, weights, and rowing machine, not lollygagging around the block) the scale was NOT budging. I thought if I could lower my cortisol levels maybe my system could get back on track. However, I quickly learned it was crap.
Now I am on metformin and a low-carb lifestyle.. and I am actually seeing results... four measly, BEAUTIFUL pounds so far...
