I just got her new book yesterday but haven't started reading it yet. I read the other two and concluded (sans testing) that I am insulin sensitive, healthy adrenals. I lost weight with this way of eating but never was able to give up coffee and wine so eventually slipped back into old eating habits and gained it all back. I've started again and am doing much better this time. I think because I decided to give up all stimulates (coffee, alcohol, sugar) BEFORE beginning the SP plan. I had a rough three weeks but am now on track and feeling better.

I seem to remember there are ways to test yourself for burned out adrenals but can't remember what they are. Sorry I'm not more help. Good luck!
