    i'm new to 3fat chicks and love it. I hadn't heard of sugarbusters before and after looking thru some of the threads think that I might benefit from it. Am tracking down the book at the library at the moment so hope to be able to read it today. I have pcos/insulin resistant (stong family history) and high blood pressure - diabetes tests ok at present but have 150+ pounds to lose and am concerned about my health in general. I would like to hear from anyone else in same position. Also any relation to post natal depression?

    WELCOME!!

    Yes, SB will benefit your condition..I myself am insulin resistant. Since we follow the 3grm or less rule, you will find that it's very easy to follow. I can't help you on the "pre natal" thing, but maybe someone else can help with that one.

    Come on over to the weekly board...we all gather there and your questions will be answered a lot quicker.

    Hi. I also have insulin resistance from PCOS, and my doctor recommended this diet,,,I used it, but I modified it because my doctor specifically said not to eat some of the items that are used in the recipes...I modified it by basically eating a piece of meat and several portions of vegetables, sandwiches on whole wheat, and whole wheat pasta. I lost 60 lbs. in two months....I gained most of it back, so I am starting over,,,,Just wanted to say hi, and that this diet can work even if you have the ever-humiliating PCOS...
