So for a long time I've been convinced that the Glycemic index diet is the best way to go, for me anyway.  With Insulin Resistance, I really need to be eating low GI foods so that I don't have sugar spikes and crashes.  It's really hard for me to eat the right foods when everyone around me is eating sugar, flour, potatoes and sweet corn!  But when I was on the Nutrisystem diet I was actually losing weight.  The only problem with that was I had special meals and then had to cook for the rest of the family.  It was very costly.  Then I got a couple GI cookbooks, I used those a few times, but there weren't many recipes in them that we really liked.  Or maybe we only tried the bad ones.  So yesterday DH and I were talking about what we could do to motivate us to lose weight.  I got on E-Diets to see what kind of diets they have!  And low and behold, they have the perfect one that I've been looking for!  And it's much cheeper!  The Glycemic Impact Diet.  I joined and got my first week of menu's, shopping list and recipes!  And the recipes are common stuff, not weird combinations!  It's actually very simular to the 40-30-30 diet that we did in CA.  That worked very well, but I hated how the cookbook was layed out.  It was hard to figure and there wasn't very many different recipes.  If it wasn't for my PCOS and IR I would be doing Weigh Down Workshop, but I really feel like I need to cut back my sugar and starch intake.  From what I've learned about Insulin Resistance, doing a low GI diet will reverse and heal!  So I'm going to start a week from today,  because I need to go shopping this week for next weeks food!  I'm so excited!  This is going to be so much cheeper because I'm not buying seperate food for me and the guys.  We can all eat this way!  It's not weird, it's actually just very balanced!  A supper of steak, brown rice and steamed broccoli?  Wow, that will be a family favorite!  We all really like steamed broccoli!  And I still get whole wheat bread!  Some diets completely cut out all bread, and I love my bread!  So check out the different diets you can try, all through e-diets!  http://www.ediets.com/

A regular workout routine is also so important for healing Insulin Resistance!  I'm trying to do cardio every other day and yoga everyother day.  I can tell I haven't worked out for a  while, I'm so out of shape.  I am so determined that I am going to do everything I can to feel great! Another thing I am doing is the Insulite elements.  http://www.pcos.insulitelabs.com/What-Causes-Insulin-Resistance.php  This website has tons of information about what PCOS and IR are and what causes them, the side effects and symptoms.
