If this is for healthier weight...my answer is yes...but never again. It doesn't help. Excercise is key - I'm not talking intense excercise, in my experience - simple things, like getting off the train a few stops before i need to and casually walking the rest of the way has helped my physical health drastically...but it also has greatly improved my mental health...whether it be the exercise or the fact that i leave earlier and no longer rush in order to get to where I'm going...who knows, but it has been very beneficial. I'm never groggy when i get to work now as I've had some "me time" with the extra walking. Oh yeah...and i dropped 20 pounds without "trying".
