Does anyone have great insulin resistance diet tips for someone always on the go?

Question

I am far away from my home from 8am to 10pm on most days. I need to find a great diet to lose a ton of weight. The problem is I don't have access to a refrigerator, stove, or even a microwave, so I have no way to cook anything.

What could I make to bring with me in a small cooler I could leave in my car?

Also, I want to lose weight pretty quickly...Exercise is a problem because I am constantly on the go and litterally don't have time. So drastically changing my diet is the way to go...

any tips?

Also I have polycystic ovary syndrome and my doctor believes I may be insulin resistant...

Answer 1

100% raw vegan diet.  It's been proven to work for a lot of folks, and you don't need to buy any instruction manual to do it.  Just food.  But it's gotta be 100% raw vegan (no processed or cooked foods, no pasteurized foods, nothing that comes from an animal) food make sure you get at least a good sublingual b12 supplement.

I am trying really hard to get back raw again.  When I am raw, my blood sugar gets right within a week, and I feel sooooo much better.

Also, there are women who have had PCOD and experienced great relief from it on raw vegan diet.  Here's one:

Good luck.

Answer 2

If you have PCOS and are possibly insulin resistant you might want to talk to your doctor about using Metformin.  That's a drug that used both in women with PCOS and also non-insulin dependent diabetics to help your body's cells become more receptive to your own insulin.  As far as your diet, you probably need to see a dietitian who can tell you what kinds and combinations of food to eat for the best and safest results.  Good luck!

Answer 3

If you're insulin resistant then you're going to want to minimize starchy and sugary foods.  Here are some things you could pack in your cooler:

hard-boiled eggs

cold chicken, turkey, ham

tuna salad or chicken salad (not on bread -- when you're ready to eat, you could spoon into onto celery stalks, or roll it up in a lettuce leaf, or just eat it on a spoon)

salad

cole slaw

raw crunchy veggies: broccoli, celery, cucumbers, maybe a small amount of carrots

pickles

cheese

nuts

peanut butter

For dessert you could include some sugar-free jello, or small amounts of certain low-GI fruits (berries are best)

No regular bread, crackers, cookies, chips, etc.  

If you're drying for a bread-like or cracker-like thing, you could try something like these in very limited amounts:

Wasa Crispbread (look for the lowest-carb varieties):

Answer 4

Fresh fruits and vegetables possibly a salad  or a sandwich on low carb bread will keep in a cooler with some freezer packs. Best of Luck.

Answer 5

Being overweight will often cause insulin resistance.  If you lose enough weight, you might also lose the diabetes!
