Eat fiber. Eating foods high in fiber slows down the absorption of simple carbohydrates in the bloodstream. Slowing this process down helps prevent "spikes" or rapid rises in blood sugar. The rule of thumb is 5 grams of fiber per serving. There's a lot of hype about "net carbs". This only comes into play if there are at least 5 grams of fiber per serving.

Prioritize exercise. You will need to boost your metabolism to start losing again and a great way to do that is to exercise. Any form of exercise you choose is going to help you burn calories more efficiently but to get the most from your workout try circuit training. This is a type of workout that alternates between aerobic exercise such as walking and jogging and strength training such as lifting weight. Circuit training will boost your metabolic rate and you will find that your body burns fat more efficiently all day long.

You need to get all your essential fatty acids in your diet, since your body can't make them for itself. The best dietary source of EPA and DHA is oily fish. You can get omega 3s from plant sources as well but these generally have a different fatty acid called ALA, which your body has to convert to EPA and DHA. It's not a very efficient process, however, so you're better off eating oily fish or taking fish oil supplements if at all possible.

Eat foods that are high in fiber help to minimize how fast simple carbs are processed and get into your bloodstream. This helps to prevent blood glucose "spikes". These spikes are what your body has difficulty in dealing with. People who are insulin resistant should think like a diabetic. Think complex carbohydrates and foods that are not processed or pre-packaged. In this day and age there are many tasty alternative ways to prepare your favorite meals. This way you can still enjoy them without compromising your blood glucose levels. The key to insulin resistance and diet is changing your mindset.

Eat carbs early, not late. Finish eating carbohydrates by lunchtime. This takes away the body's main source of energy and forces it to burn body fat for energy. Plus it helps your body flush out excess water weight that it is holding.Replace the refined carbs with whole grains. For the next 2 weeks the carbs you do eat in the morning hours need to be whole grains and fruit. Refined carbs break down too quickly causing an insulin spike which can temporarily stop fat loss.

Unlike crash diets (otherwise known as fad diets), intermittent fasting doesn't require you to go without food for days on end. It just takes advantage of that window of opportunity that comes roughly 24 hours after your last meal to help burn those calories, not to mention the money you'll save on groceries or the various health benefits that go along with it like lower blood pressure and, most important of all, effective weight loss.

While some of these symptoms are easier to see than others certainly weight gain and acne are amongst the easiest to spot. Many women who are otherwise living a healthy lifestyle can be thwarted by this condition and put on weight much easier than they should which can be disheartening and can often lead them to give up on a healthy lifestyle for weight loss and either let themselves go or take drastic action that could be avoided.
