[QUOTE="VashtiB, post: 2365604, member: 511345"] I haven't read the article but my thoughts are we here know a dietary change that may(will) help those overweight with insulin resistance. I believe that mediation is useful when there is no other alternative, or to start a program or to aid a program rather than to replace a program. When I started I saw low carb as a horrible but hopefully short term necessary penance to 'make up for my badness in being overweight'. I had already bought into the stereotypes. I already felt like a failure because though I counted calories I could not lose weight unless I was eating practically nothing and exercising for hours a day. I don't feel like a failure anymore:) that has been changed by this forum. I have stalled on my weight loss for the moment so will have to get back to that but am staying about the same so that's ok. my levels are controlled. Once I leave my very very stressful job I think more weight loss and lower levels will come as well. I don't want to perpetuate the stereotypes as that doesn't help and you shouldn't blame yourself for acting on the advice the medical professionals give you. If I had tried low carb before- who knows where I would be. I'm not sorry to be on this site though. [/QUOTE]
