In addition to a new healthy lifestyle and eating habits, my doctor suggested that I try medi fast, which I’m willing to try. I have PCOS, which among other issues, causes me to have a problem with insulin resistance. I was able to achieve a healthier lifestyle and the motivation in need to continue it by taking the prescription drug Meridia. In 15 weeks I lost 33 pounds. My question is, I’ve been educating myself about what my body needs to maintain a healthy weight. With PCOS, the body sometimes has trouble using insulin properly

and converting it to energy. The GI diet is the best for people with PCOS and it discourages consumption of any artificial sweeteners, which I no longer eat. The only Medi Fast foods that don’t contain something lab created or artificial is the soups. I looked at nutritional facts, and the products have maltodextrin, acesulfame potassium, corn solids, hydrolized chemicals….. There have been medical studies showing that artificial sweeteners may actually cause insulin resistance. Is this “diet” ok for me to try?
