Hi Kimberly! Welcome back!
Just wondering, but did you doctor perscribe anything for the Insulin Resistance? There are some mixed reviews about the use of Metformin, but I've been pretty happy with the results thus far.
The side affects suck in the begining, but when my body finally starts treating the sugars in my body like a normal person, whoah! hehe
I have always had better luck with a low-carb diet than anything else. I tried the SBD and found it helpful and I mainly stick to that in a nonformal way, I think.
I LOVE carbohydrates and really think that it could something that my body is addicted to, so it's really hard for me to "just say no." So, I'll have bread (just whole grain or sourdough (which is good for people with IR!)). And if I do eat pasta I make sure it's Whole grain. Basically, if I want bread or pasta or potatoes, I switch to the whole grain or the red potatoe (just a few bites to curve my craving).
I'm fairly new at the whole idea of IR and the dieting, so I'm sure lots of ladies will have some great advice for you too!
Good luck and let us know how you do!
