I've used this workout plan for the past year or so (I just keep repeating phase 2).

I add 1/2 cup (1/2 serving) to my Greek yogurt. Great combo and keeps me filled up longer.

Me! I've dropped 35 pounds and reduced my body fat percentage to 23% but still need meds to keep my BP in the right range. Darn annoying. Now working to reduce sodium - currently averaging around 2000 mg/day.
