EXTREMELY INFORMATIVE

THIS BOOK PROVIDES A VERY DETAILED OUTLINE OF WHAT THE METABOLIC SYNDROME IS AND EXACTLY HOW IT WREAKS HAVOC ON YOUR HEALTH, IT HAS A VERY CLEAR SCIENTIFIC EXPLANATION ON THE METABOLIC PROCESSES OF INSULIN AND ITS REACTION WITH OTHER HORMONES, BASED PRIMARILY ON WHAT YOU EAT. THE PROGRAM OUTLINES A PLAN OF SUPPLEMENTS, EXERCISE, AND DIET. I HAVE BEEN ON THE PROGRAM A LITTLE OVER A WEEK AND MY BLOOD SUGARS HAVE DROPPED SO MUCH THAT I HAD TO REDUCE THE AMOUNT OF MEDICATION I WAS TAKING. THE DIET BASICALLY CALLS FOR YOU TO GIVE UP SODA, DESERTS, SUGAR, AND TO FOCUS ON WHOLE GRAINS VEGETABLES AND LEAN PROTEIN AND HEALTHY FATS, THIS INFORMATION AND THE EXCELLENT SCIENTIFIC EXPLANATIONS REALLY HELPED TO MOTIVATE ME TO GIVE IT A TRY.
