Hi sweetstar,

I was wondering, do you by any chance have a food diary on this board? If not, would you mind starting one? I am interested to see what sort of meals and snacks you have throughout the day as I am finding it a bit difficult to come up with a variety of different things I can eat. I seem to find myself eating loads of carbohydrates and pretty much the same thing every week.

An example of what I might eat in a day is:

M: I have a small bowl of weetabix (one stick) with semi-skimmed milk and very very little sugar.
S: One small yoghurt, a banana and a big handful of grapes.
L: Egg mayonnaise sandwich, packet of snack-o-jacks and some nuts.
S: A big handful of cherries.
D: Rice and curry.
S: I might have a glass of milk occasionally but not often.

(Wow! Putting this in writing makes me realise that I am actually eating a lot more than I should be! )

Also, I am interested to know what exercises you do on a daily or weekly basis. I've read on a number of places that intense cardio and weight training help a lot for insulin resistance. Even though I haven't been diagnosed with it I am pretty certain that I have it due to the shape of my body, dark marks around my neck, underarms and groin area, etc. How many hours a week of exercise should I be looking to do?

On one of your posts you mentioned that you do not take any meds? Does this mean that you do not have food supplements, such as Cod Liver Oil, and vitamins in a tablet form, etc?

Also, do you know if there are any tests I can do on myself at home to check my blood sugar levels, whether I am ovulating, blood pressure, etc?

Thanks,

Asianaaaa
