A lot of women with PCOS, both with and without insulin resistance, have found that metformin or another similar medication has helped them to lose weight. The idea is that it's now how much or what you're eating so much as how your body metabolizes it (or not). Have you tried a low carb diet? -- Jen R. email welcome at: jennyred@nospam.ivillage.com (note: to send me an email, take out the "nospam." I put in my email address.
