I have been taking medication over the years for bipolar disorder and I have recently been diagnosed with metabolic syndrome. I have taken thyroid tests and all of them have been normal with a heightened testosterone level. What is the link between testosterone, metabolism, and insulin? Does metrofomin have a lot to do with weight loss and metabolism and thyroid issues?
Losing weight is essential most of the time and doctors supervision is important for that. Metabolic syndrome is normally a result of being overweight and inactive.

It showed that in those who drink one or more soft drinks daily, there was an association of increased risk of developing metabolic syndrome.Metabolic syndrome is a cluster of risk factors for diabetes and cardiovascular disease, including a bulging waistline, high blood pressure, low levels of good cholesterol, and high fasting glucose levels. Having three or more of these risk factors greatly increases the likelihood of contracting diabetes or suffering a heart attack.
I agree that at 23 and only 27 pounds overweight, it's unlikely that Foodie has metabolic syndrome, though, unfortunately, I have seen people younger than her with it, as insulin doesn't work as well, when one is overweight. It's not easy to get everything moving in the right direction.
In my case, the fact that I have hypothyroidism, aggravates the whole situation.
Foodie - you're doing good; keep up the good work and keep posting so we can keep up with your progress.
Bad Marriages Harder on Women's Health
More likely than mates to show signs of metabolic syndrome in strained unions, study finds

THURSDAY, March 5 (HealthDay News) -- The cardiovascular damage wrought by an unhappy marriage may be greater for women than men, a new study shows.
I went back to full fat dairy vs low or no fat dairy and added more red meat, butter and eggs to my diet. The fat made me feel fuller, so I actually ended up eating less calories throughout the day, than I had been on a low fat diet. Typically, when they take fat out of something, they add sugar or some type of sweetener to replace the flavor of the removed fat. I also ate very low salt to keep fluid retention to minimum and no added sugar.
Yes, it’s part of this group of indices we call metabolic syndrome.
Then increase slowly but not more than 1500 a day (I stay under 1000)
No soda. Atleast 8 cups of water a day.
Not too much protein, a good amount of fiber, and limit sugar/carbs intake.
Don't use too much weights either...more reps less weight.
I do cardio 3-4 nights a week now for 30 minutes and 1 cardio body pump and 1 body pump class (both minimal weights) a week.
Hope that helps! I know the diet sounds hard, but it's really not.
I normally drink water, diet can iced tea (or fresh) and seltzer. Now my question is.... is diet soda OK in moderation? Like when me and my bf go to a mall, water gets so boring and the fast food places generally never have seltzer water. So therefore I'm forced with diet soda (YUCK). Is it ok just on the weekends? I mean I guess I'm doing something right, I've lost 30.5bs since 9/14 (not even 3 months yet) and still have another 12.5lbs to go by 1/4/09.
Thanks!
Diet and decaf are the worse no matter if you're pregnant or not. I like fizzy drinks so it doesn't have to be soda. Maybe find a different alternative?
What is everyone's thoughts on drinking diet soda? I know they say to stay away from artificial sugars, but I've been drinking diet soda forever & I'm having a hard time giving it up. Is one a day bad?
Diet soda has aspertame in it which is a chemical that can cause cancer, my favorite soda is diet coke, but i try to only have 1 or 2 a week, and drink other caffeinated drinks that aren't diet so I dont get migraines from my caffeine addiction lol, I'm addicted to energy drinks but avoid them often while pregnant.
I assume you mean you have Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (also known as syndrome X or metabolic X syndrome by many) - if so why not go see a dietitian who deals with diabetes (just because they deal with diabetes does't mean they can't help develop a plan that will for you, even if your not diabetic) and have them help develop a plan that will work with you?
When I was originally placed on Metformin for PCOS and metabolic syndrome 3 yrs ago my blood sugar level was 110 with at least half of my diet consisting of chocolate and soda. So it is very frustrating that I am working so hard on this diet and still having high sugar levels. Last week I was craving chocolate so bad....so I had a hershey bar and a REAl coke...it tasted great but 3 hours later my blood sugar was around 250. I have a dr appt next week but am curios as to what they will say.
What are you supposed to do when diet and exercise don't work?
