Probably not: But if you have metabolic syndrome, the ticket out of that is EXERCISE: That is the only thing that will improve your insulin resistance (the cause of metabolic syndrome). That and lower caloric intake will improve your chances of loosing weight and preventing or even treat diabetes, hypertension and hyperlipidemia. You CAN do it!!!
