[QUOTE="Star*, post: 146239, member: 4964"] NVTS - I am insulin resistant as well. Since joining the gang here - I..... Gave up bread, sodas, diet sodas -and drink at least LEAST 4 16.9 oz of water a day - BOTTLED water. It's a luxury - but I save the empties for my OJ. Have taken vitamins EVERY day and are looking at some better quality ones (had to get into the habit). I take iron, and chromium helps with the sugar if you are insulin resistant. I also take a good B complex, and started taking Nut Black Cohosh for "the midnight BBQ". I have committed myself to having 1-2 cups of coffee in the morning with a banana for breakfast. I can't give up the 1/2 and 1/2 yet - but I did go to Splenda 1/2 - it's awesome. The extra potassium helps with leg cramps AND is just sweet enough to curb the breakfast cravings for foods I'd rather have but are bad. I have a mid-morning snack of measured out pretzels and a 1/2 bottle of OJ with calcium or sugar reduced apple juice. For lunch I have a WW microwave meal at work and 1 yoplait thick and light yogurt.....100 calories. So i have about a 400 calorie lunch with 4 grams of fat. Then I have an afternoon fruit (like an apple or orange) or some almonds. Then at 5:30 - 6:00 we have supper at home - and maybe some (1 or 2) COOKIES for dessert or a WW frozen dessert. I'm not gaining - I'm not loosing - but at least I am being better to me. I also use the thought - NOTHING TASTES AS GOOD AS THIN feels - until after 13 weeks I did not get thinner - but had a water weight gain. I have little to no salt intake so I guess it's time to go see about thyroid - I had the tests before and they told me I had a bunch of diseases.....and I dont' take ONE single medicine they had me on - and I used to take 22 pills a day......go figure. Also - you have to find some kind of exercise you like - dance, walking, eliptical - and cut down on stress. Cortisol levels in me 2 years ago were so High they did my test 3 times - Hope you find something helpful in there - and TELL yourself I DO NOT NEED THAT FOOD - I fyou MUST have a food - grab an apple. And don't buy the bagged apples - actually pick out the ones that look appealing to you in the store and try different kinds - get an apple pealer and corer (dollar store) $1 - and dip them in coolwhip if you must.
