    That may one day be an option, but I have just turned 18. I am tired of being big but have always struggled to lose weight since puberty :( and it's hard because I have no self confidence and despite working hard since September the weight hasn't went down very much - although the inches have.

    I looked it up never heard it used by that term, thats basically a low carb/gi diet right? I am pretty confused though because I am not the typical body shape for someone with insulin resistance - I am big on top and bottom as well, my stomach has gone down because of exercise admittedly. I am going to start eating low carb foods but I have also discovered I need more protein in my diet (if you look at my diary)

    I know I'm way, way late.... But a teaspoon of Konsyl Fiber (this brand is not addictive with almost no additives) with a glass of water about 45 minutes before the major meals helped me lose cravings and eat less. I also used a new workout system call the 7minuteworkout every other day (although not religiously) and walked a couple miles on the off days... I lost 32 pounds in two months and when All was said and done I'd lost 53 pounds in about 6 months.
