I'm 5' 8" and i'm about 147 lbs,
i'm not overweight but my BMI is on the upper side of healthy - i do have quite a bit of muscle but... I try to eat a balanced diet, am going to try to eat more of an insulin resistance type diet, though i was told by my gyn i'm not insulin resistant, and i'm not overweight, i have many symptoms that make me think i could be slightly IR: frequent cravings for sweet/ high carb foods, The need to eat often or excessive amounts of food, weight gain mostly around my waist, a history of PCOS (my nan and mum have PCOS), the feeling that i am addicted to carbs, headaches or nausea etc that goes away when i eat, afternoon fatigue.... i could go on. although cinnamon and ACV have helped, i'm going to make more of an effort to do the protein linking thing (described in the IR diet) and hope the excess weight will come off and my periods will regulate, otherwise i'm going to try metformin.
