Re: HAS ANYONE TRIED WEIGHT WATCHERS

Atkins isn't really strict, it's just a lifestyle change, which would be very good for your daughter since IR is a lifelong condition and the glucophage doesn't always work forever, nor does it always control all the symptoms.

If you want to skip the 'strictness' of Atkins, just skip the induction phase. Otherwise, it's a great method.

Some women have reported good luck w/weight watchers, but others have said that it just wasn't low carb or geared towards the right kind of diet. Also, many people think their food is gross - my husband included. Go figure? it's an individual choice. I would recommend picking up books, visiting diet websites, and figuring out what is best for your daughter. A mix of diets catered to the individual usually ends up working best.
