I've just been diagnosed at IR as well and put onto Metformin by my doctor. He recommended South Beach diet, but basic rules he gave me were no potatoes, rice, wheat, pasta, bread, juice. Just protein, fruit and veg, trim dairy. Average weight loss for me has been between 0.5kg to 0.75kg per week. And, if I break the rules, I know it and the weight goes straight on just as quick!! |
