Next steps
So a few weeks ago I went to see my friend who is a dietitian about my inability to lose weight. I wanted to make sure that my diet was as healthy as I thought it was. She commented that indeed I was eating well and she had nothing to suggest. So then I decided to schedule a visit to the endocrinologist. Not being able to lose weight after three years of trying is a bit ridiculous. I explained that I had my TSH (thyroid) level checked 18 months ago. It was totally normal. We went through my diet and exercise and medical history. I now have a jug to fill up with pee, have a blood panel to get done, and am hopeful that I will have some answers in the not too distant future. He suggested that I may have insulin resistance in which case my diet and exercise regime will have to be tweaked. No more taking the weekend off from exercise. And I'll have to eat my carbs with other food. Looking forward to my cheese with my granola bar. Yuck. We shall see.
