Hello, I am new to this Forum.

I was wondering if anyone else out there is doing the Insulin Resistance Diet?

I am not new to LC-ing. I have been on the CAD diet for 2 1/2 yrs, lost 40 lbs the first 6 months, and have been in a stall the rest of the time. I did go off of CAD twice to try the Atkins and still could not break my stall.

I have been on the Insulin Resistance Diet for not quite 2 weeks and have already seen a new low, so hopefully this diet will work for me. It doesn't look like there are any forums out there that know much about this diet. This is the only place that even mentions the plan.

Would love to hear from others that might be trying this..

Thanks,

Diane

I'm doing the IR diet. I also have PCOS and hang out at soulcysters.net. Most of the ladies there are also on the IR diet.

I'd like to hear more about this.

Hi Sourdaisy,

Thank you for the site. I just went in and checked it out. I have been looking for a site where I can ask some questions about the Insulin Resistance Diet. I don't have PCOS, so I am hoping they will let me join.

Thanks again,

Diane

Dianee, feel free to join soulcysters! I don't think having PCOS is necessary to be a member. Just hang out in the diet and excercise area and ask away. I too have looked for other forums with more IR Diet members and had no luck, so you're not the only one.

I have joined the Soulcysters group. Thank you so much. I had contacted the IR Welless Clinic up in Spokane to ask if they knew of a site online and they didn't. This forum was the only one that even mentioned the Insulin Resistance Diet, but it doesn't look like too many people are on it here.

How long have you been on IR and do you like it so far? I have been on IR for 2 weeks. I am not new to LC-ing.. I had been on the CAD plan for 2 1/2 yrs. I lost 40 lbs the first 6 months and nothing since, but I kept with it because at least I was not gaining any of my weight back. I did try the Atkins a couple times but could not lose weight on that plan either. I find the IR diet to be easy to follow and it just makes a lot of sense to me.

I appreciate you letting me know about the Soulcysters group. I think this is going to work just fine for me.

Dianee, I saw your post over there and glad you find it! LOL I've been doing the IR diet for about a month now and have a lost a few pounds, but nothing drastic. Most likely this is because I have PCOS, IR, and am hypothyroid and not on any meds (yet). I find it very doable and often forget I'm on any sort of diet at all. Most people don't notice because I can eat at restaurants, attend pot-lucks, and go to dinner parties without saying a word. I have a thread over there "my hope is slowly dissipating" that has a lot of info in it if you haven't seen it yet.

And you're totally welcome! I hang over there more often than here because it really helps when fellow posters are following the same eating plan. I use this site as a resource, though, especially when finding recipes and lc substitues of favorite foods.

Thanks Sourdaisy..

I haven't seen your post yet over there, but will go and look for it. Do you use the same user name as the one here?? I will go and scout it out.

You haven't been on the IR much longer then I have. I started around June 18th.. I too am a very slow loser. I never have read much on PCOS, but find it interesting. As I scanned some of the symptoms, it appears as I have quite a few of them. After the 4th is over and I don't have as much going on, I want to read a little more on this. I never thought about me having this but, it sure is a BIG possiblity..

Thanks for you help.
