I know how frustrating it is to gain weight out of nowhere—and nothing you do seems to make any difference. Over the course of less than a year, I gained 30 pounds even though I made NO changes to my exercise or diet plan… and no amount of sweating it out in the gym was making that weight budge! If you’ve ever experienced weight resistance, you know the struggle. Your metabolism has tanked and it feels like you’re destined to size up your clothes and say goodbye to energy.
