If you are insulin resistant you need to work on your diet to become more insulin sensitive.

Energy output will help, but diet is a big player.

Fish oils, fibrous veggies, nuts, low glycemic foods in general.

What do you mean insulin resistant? Diabetic?

Just what lifer said. Also, small meals throughout the day with protein, veggies and olive oil or healthy fats. Adding psyllium husks or any type of fiber with each meal helps slow down insulin release as well.

thanks, but everything you said I do, I watch my foods very well and exercise 5x/week...weight training and cardio each sesson 30-45min.
I tried phentermine already, but it work not so good for me, just 2 pounds 3 week. Now the weight is back.

COuld you specify your diet EXACTLY what it is every day?

Ex:
8am: 1/2c oatmeal, 1scoop whey
11am: 1/2c brown rice, 1can tuna
1pm: 6 egg whites, 1c broccoli
...etc.

It also seems that you are almost too willing to go the drugs/supps way. How long have you been consistent with your training and diet? Do you follow your diet exactly or do you cheat once in a while? Has your training been THE SAME for too long? What kind of weight lifting do you do and what kind of cardio? Sorry so many questions but with your type diabetes, it is rather complicated to figure out the right healthy way to go

A lot of people on here like using Glucorell before meals to help control blood sugar levels and prevent fat storage. There's some threads on the supplement forum you might want to take a look at. Using fresh ginger or ginger capsules can help too. Cinnamon, Cloves, Nutmeg are some others. Diet is still key. Make sure you're not starving yourself, keep your diet high in healthy fats, proteins and fibrous veggies, burn more calories than you take in and you should be losing 1-2 lbs. of fat per week.

If you have insulin resistance, your muscle, fat, and liver cells do not use insulin properly. The pancreas tries to keep up with the demand for insulin by producing more. Eventually, the pancreas cannot keep up with the body's need for insulin, and excess glucose builds up in the bloodstream. Many people with insulin resistance have high levels of blood glucose and high levels of insulin circulating in their blood at the same time.People who are insulin resistant have a VERY HIGH predisposition in developing type 2 diabetes mellitus(adult-onset diabetes or noninsulin-dependent diabetes).

I really need lose some weight, because I do modeling and now I look really terrible!!!

It almost seems like you are worried a bit too much about the number on the scale.....instead you should opt for overall fitness and the way YOU LOOK...not what the scale says. I guess if you are in the 'modeling' profession, it is very important to make a certain weight. I dont think you are getting enough protein....you need 1g/kg body weight....Do you know what fitday.com is??? As far as your blood levels.....do you by any chance know your total cholesterol score and your LDL and HDL ratio??? Your blood glucose could also be jumping around a lot if you switch up the diet too much. I would stay away from any kind of fat burners since your health is in danger.

What amount of calories do you eat on a daily basis? It looks as though you are doing a LOT of exercise and not feeding your body enough. If this happens, your metabolism will eventually stop functioning if you are starving. This will then prevent you from losing weight and will in reverse store fat if any extra amounts of food are introduced.

I guess a question that is coming up in my mind is why would you want to weigh a CERTAIN number? That does not make any sense to me....maybe for wrestiling or boxing .... even gymnastics ... b.c they have to meet a certain weight class. However....you are 5'6".....according to the set standard for nutrition, it says that a woman is supposed to weigh 100lbs for every 5feet in height and then 5lbs for every inch....so your healthy weight would be 130lbs

**This is ofcourse an average population mean and does not take into account body fat % and bone mass.

Do you know your bf% ??? Just curious.

If you are 125 lbs, you should eat 10-12 times your body weight in calories in order to lose weight.....
