I've lost 101 pounds on the Insulin Resistance Diet. It is a lower carb diet but it just taught me how to properly proportion my meals. My diary is set to 40 protein - 30 carbs - and 30 fat. I try to eat the sugar amount the website gives me. I eat 7 protein for every 15 carbs and my carbs do not exceed 30 at any meal.…

Sorry this is just a pet peeve of mine... Loose = not firmly or tightly fixed in place; detached or able to be detached. Lose = become unable to find (something or someone). As far as your weight lost issues go, 2/4 pounds a week sounds a little unhealthy. I think the 3 pounds you've lost sounds realistic for someone who's…

3500ish calories are equal to a pound at fat. Did you eat 600+ calories over all or 1200 for the weekend? Still, not a big deal. I'm sorry if this comes off as harsh but...You'll NEVER be successful at being healthy if you beat yourself up every time you over eat. As stated before, this will not be the last time you did…

If you haven't read the Insulin Resistance Diet, you're doing yourself an injustice. I've lost 101 lbs with Insulin Resistance Diet. You teach yourself how to eat to a 15 carb to 7 protein ratio that doesn't exceed 30 carbs at any meal. This diet is essentially a lower carb diet with higher fat at a ratio of 40 protein, 30…

Why on earth would you let someone ruin your dreams?! I started running at 256 pounds and in the 2 years I've been losing weight, only one person has ever approached me while running. It was a kid giving me water. The only limitations is the ones you set for yourself. I'm serious when I say, no one cares that you're…

I lost 101 lbs with diet and exercise. Just NEVER give up!

Start a 5k running app on your phone and let the app do the thinking for you! It will also start to build your stamina and speed!

I see this same exact thread 100 times a day! One pound of fat is 3500 extra calories from your diet. Have you ate 10500 extra calories in the last 3 days? Probably not. So what is the next best explanation? Water weight. The best advice I can give to you is to stop weighing yourself so much. If you cannot help it, go into…

The only comments that I didn't like when the ones where people were telling me I was TOO thin. Have you never received a compliment about the way you look? Does it make you uncomfortable because you're not use to the attention? They've got to get use to the "new you" too. Good news, after a while it goes away. Enjoy it…

I found out I had PCOS and Insulin Resistance in April of 2012. After losing 101 lbs in 16 months, I cured my PCOS and Insulin Resistance. PCOS is NOT a death sentence. You just got to understand how it works and effects your body. Anyone can add me!

You're actually really lucky then on the carb front. Are you sure you had PCOS at all? How did your mom give you PCOS since you were 11?

I've lost over 101 pounds with PCOS and Insulin Resistance. Insulin Resistance and PCOS are directly related since both deal with hormone levels. The only TRUE way to lose weigh with PCOS is to follow a low carb diet. Carbs and Sugar gets turned into Insulin. Insulin is a hormone that effects your reproductive system and…

I started Zumba at 260! Within the first six months of doing it only twice a week, I lost 50+ pounds. A few tips of advice about Zumba... 1. Find a class that works for you! They are all different and cater to different crowds. I've had to switch a few instructors to find the one that fitted my fitness level at that time.…

I HAD PCOS and Insulin Resistance in April of 2013. Over the course of 16 months I lost 101 pounds, curing my PCOS and Insulin Resistance. PCOS is NOT the end of the world, It just takes a little more of an effort on our part. I highly recommend you read a book on Low Carb or Insulin Resistance diet. PCOS and Insulin…

I have diabetes and I limit my bread intake. I still eat it in moderation.

Woot! Nice NSV right there to celebrating. Walking away is hard sometimes... Tea is what always curves my sweet craving too. Fruit is my other go to but I will seriously binge eat the entire bag of apples.

This exactly! I've been with my husband for over 14 years and he would NEVER say anything like this to me. I also hope that if my husband had the same issues as yours, he would have enough sense to leave me....or I him. Best of luck. But you need to love yourself before you can truly have someone love you.

I buy new workout clothes when the ladies in Zumba start to complain about seeing my butt from my pants falling down. =D

I'm on a "low carb" diet that still allows me to eat 30g of carbs at any meal. Here are a few of the things I perfectly measure to fit my needs. I'm also Gluten Free. I always couple a protein with a carb... Protein: Eggs or Egg Whites Left Over Dinner Meat Turkey Sausage Bacon. Deli Meat Carb French Toast (one slice is…

We can't be friends that talk about music or go to shows together. lol

There are two main reasons why I dislike Nickleback. First, during the time that Nickelback became popular, post-grunge wave was still dominating the alternative rock scene. During this time, Nickelback, Foo Fighters, Red Hot Chili Peppers were all equally huge. Foo Fighters and Red Hot Chili Peppers (kinda) changed their…

I'm on the Insulin Resistance diet for my well...Insulin Resistance. It is also a lower carb diet (15 protein for ever 30 carb) and what it essentially taught me was how to properly portion control. I've maintained it for over a year now. Because I'm on a lower carb diet too, Akins comes up a lot in my research, grocery…

I had PCOS and Insulin Resistance. I lost 101 pounds and fixed both issues. My doctor put me on the Insulin Resistance diet where I stick to a 15 protein to 30 carb ratio. The ratio still allows me to eat carbs, it just taught me how to portion them. 1 baked potato with all the fixin' = 1/2 baked potato with sour cream 1/2…

I started running at 256 pounds in the middle of summer! I would run up and down these back roads, in and out of neighborhoods. Everyday for 3 entire months, 9 am. A little kid came out and brought me a bottled water and high hived me. People will watch you, But not for what you think. =) Whenever I'm out running I'm…

THIS!

This depends on your diet. Are you still eating excess amount of carbs? Are you following a healthy meal plan? Carbs and MetF don't mix. If you were just put on it, it goes away in about a month. For some people, it never goes away because they eat a high carb diet or they don't regularly take the pill. I know it sucks but…

After reading your OP, it sounds like you have Insulin Resistance since the majority of your weight is located around your waste. Have you ever been checked? I'm on a low carb diet too. Although, with my diet I can have 120 grams (30 gs at meals and 15 at snacks) and I've managed to lose over 100 pounds. If you're working…

To me, this is a red flag! Get out while you can. I understand that it hurts now, but you're saving yourself a lot of heartache in the long run. NO ONE should have to constantly worry if their significant other finds them attractive or if you gain weight, worry if they will leave you. That isn't love. I've been with my…

I eat every 2 hours too! Usually two smaller meals but I need more calories in the morning to last me until my Lunch/Dinner. I work 12 hour days so it's hard to eat consistently in the afternoons. Thanks for all the great ideas.
