[b]Low carb diet has helped like nothing else. I also mini-fast to make sure my blood glucose stays low[/b] - essentially by skipping breakfast.

Also I use the clearblue easy fertility monitor to track ovulation.[/quote]

I have tried and tried and tried to go low-carb because I feel so much better and worse when I do it, but it is so hard to get enough food when I do. I find myself too low on fat or protein or veggies. Did you go cold turkey, so to speak, or did you slowly reduce carbs?[/quote]

Pp here. Dropped refined carbs mostly cold turkey - read on for the 'mostly.' I replaced carbs with cheese, nuts, higher fats like full fat yogurt. Hardest was dropping pasta, pizza and sandwiches. Instead we do a meat and 2 side vegetables. I eat a big, nutty, cheesy salad for lunch most days. But, after doing research I made some bargains with myself. I could never fully commit to a life with no, for example, cake ever again. The body is more sensitive to a carb bomb on an empty stomach, and also in the morning. So, if you you have a carb, make it dessert and not breakfast. Occasionally I slip up, but over all it has worked for almost 2 years.

I also keep some easy frozen stuff for tough nights, like meatballs and jarred sauce or salmon and pesto. The other part of it is the intermittent fasting, which also works to bring down the blood glucose, and corrects any slip up or indulgence. I eat so much more nutrient dense now, so much less filler or sweetener, despite eating less, and not holding to a full 100% standard - still very big improvement.[/quote]
