This can affect your life more than you know and you might not even know you have it until it is too late. I will talk about my experiences, the knowledge that is out there and how I am dealing with this syndrome.Unknownnoreply@blogger.comBlogger7125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13861693.post-1130796006729027202005-10-31T16:54:00.000-05:002005-10-31T17:00:06.740-05:00

Nutrisystem has a new program in which the meals consist of "good carbs". While this is nice, I also don't want to dread mealtime. I've found out that you can just order one item at a time (a la carte). I'm going to do this to sample their food. If it is decent, I am going for it. I will give them a try. Maybe I will order something for breakfast or lunch since those are the meals that I

So I went to the Nutrisystem website and I have to say that I am afraid to do it. I am afraid that I would not like the food and that I would have wasted $250 plus dollars for a month of food. I have to say that the price for a month of prepared food is not so bad being that it is a weight loss program. I would like for them to offer samples of their food, but I don't see anything on their

If you have insulin insensitivity then you know where I am coming from. You hear..no white bread, no white sugar, no white flour, no fried chicken, no this, no that and so on. Don't get me wrong, I've gotten used to not drinking those sodas with 40 grams of sugar in them and actually feel better from it. I've even gotten used to eating whole grains and when I do eat white bread it suprisingly

Some studies suggest that depression and insulin resistance are correlated. But is it the insulin resistance that makes you depressed or the depression that makes you insulin resistant. Its hard to say, but I have experienced it and do still experience at times. Maybe overweight people who are already inclined to be IR are just depressed because they are fat. Who knows? I've also read

Or I thought I had it. For two years I thought I had it. I just knew I was never going to have children and that I was doomed to a life of hot flashes and night sweats until then end of time! This is what prompted me to go seek medical help and the result ended in the knowledge that I had insulin resistance and maybe PCOS.How are these two related? Many women who have the symptom of no menses

Since I am not a medical doctor, you should always go to your doctor if suspect IR. However there are some signs that myself and others have experienced and have been said by medical doctors: An apple shaped body-type. You gain weight mostly in the abdomen.A family history of type 2 diabetes.Difficulty losing weightSluggishness after eating (especially a high carb meal)High cholesterolHigh

It is when the body does not respond well to the hormone insulin. People who are IR tend to need more insulin because of this. It is like a car with terrible gas mileage. The guzzler is not efficient at burning the gas, so it needs more than a normal car would. Insulin is used to metabolize fats, starches and proteins. IR people have a abnormally high amount of insulin within their system
