Could this supplement help stop the COVID weight creep?
I somehow managed to watch what I ate for the first five months of this sh*tshow (despite cooking and baking up a storm), but then I started to slip—I’m talking to you, pita chips, and you too, leftover baked ziti. I never stopped exercising (almost) daily except for two weeks when I was exceptionally busy with work, but I have started counting cleaning as my active endeavor on Saturdays—which I’m OK with because I need at least one day off a week from something. But after about a month of loosening about my eating, I started to notice less looseness in my clothes, not feeling great about myself and not liking the direction this situation was going in.
Motivated by the toll this laxity had started to take on my mind, body and IBS symptoms, I decided to reset last week with a little help from The Nue Co.’s Metabolism supplement. Featuring a clean, natural blend of cinnamon, cayenne pepper (there’s a reason this is a key ingredient in the Master Cleanse), the catechin antioxidant ECGC found in green tea and compounds called phytogenic ketosterones sourced from the Veld grape that play a role in maintaining blood-sugar levels, I figured it definitely couldn’t hurt.
OK, so if you skipped over that last bit, in simpler terms, this supplement is designed to reduce stress-reduced sugar/carb cravings and gently boost the metabolism. Since starting it I’ve definitely noticed less desire to snack throughout the day and I get a nice little energy kick that keeps me going. I also feel less bloated (although I would attribute that more to getting my diet back on track). Maybe it’s placebo effect, or maybe it really is working… Either way, I’ll take any help I can get and I just ordered another jar so I have more when this one runs out.
