Message: <blockquote data-quote="Brunneria" data-source="post: 946467" data-attributes="member: 41816">I have no idea whether low carbing affects my insulin resistance.  It might.Unfortunately the benefit is buried under PCOS, insulin resistance raising medication, more wacky hormones (on top of the PCOS) and what seems to be some delightful family inheritance of carb intolerance - all of which seem to outweigh the effect of diet on IR.Exercise, while it makes a perceptable difference, is unable to compete for anything like the length of time promised by the exercise bunnies.That brilliant vid of Phinney's lecture (in the Kraft thread) says it all, really, when he points out that the ones who lose the most weight and benefit the most from low carbing are usually men who have higher uric acid (testable in their urine).  Women, especially ones with wacky hormones, and lower uric acid, get lots of bg benefit, but much less of the weight loss benefits.  Although there are, of course, exceptions to every rule.</blockquote>
