[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 134288, member: 1991"] I think I have something similar to that low-intake problem also. The insulin resistance seems to be the issue here also. I'm reading my way through the CSIRO Wellbeing Diet book - it has some clues I'm going to try, but I'm going to have to use the book as a guide rather than follow it we closely as I should. I also should wait until I get those pills - Monday, they should be in. Lap-band surgery - the doctor said I'm not a candidate. The thing I still find weird - I can't understand how this could be happening. According to the CSIRO book, metabolic problems like mine are accompanied with raised cholesterol, high triglycerides, high fasting sugars, a very large waistline, high blood pressure. I have SLIGHTLY elevated triglycerides, and moderately high fasting insulin levels at normal BSL. Everything else is normal. And although I had stopped eating a low-fat diet, I certainly wasn't overindulging (or indulging at all, really). No biscuits, no cakes, no fried foods. I don't put spreads on my bread (one slice a day, if that). Endocrinologist - the doctor won't be in it. I spoke to the gastroenterologist this morning, he said that this is his specialty, an endocrinologist won't be able to help here. I have faith in this guy, he seems really good. Food labels - the regulations are coming in, the big fast food places have nutrition data on request. But the only fast food I'm eating is sushi, and I can see exactly what is in it - a teaspoon of rice, a lovely chunk of raw salmon, half a teaspoon of roe and that's it. Two of those does me for lunch. I wasn't kidding when I said I don't eat much. Everything else is what I cook at home, so I know what goes into it. I posted in Healthful Living as was suggested. I'm going to try to keep on track over there, see how I go. Thanks for all the ideas. Marg [/QUOTE]
