So, I've been on this diet for a little under a week now. I'm already noticing a slight increase in energy right after taking an ACV shot, and I'm less bloated and my stomach's already looking flatter! I haven't been able to really workout yet, so I think once I am I'll get even better results.
The ACV is BITTER!!! I take half a shot of that, and follow it up with a shot of Sunny D. The Sunny D really helps mask the taste. It smells like dirty feet, and the first few times drinking it, it burned the living hell out of my throat! But now that I'm getting used to it, it's not so bad. Also bought Alpha Lipoic Acid (300mg), and take that every day with a meal (I take it with my L-Tyrosine).
I'm almost out of my ACV already, I can't believe it. Glad it's so cheap, I'll buy a few at a time next time. If you only take the 1 tablespoon at a time as is recommended, it'll last longer, but since I don't usually eat 3x a day, the half a shot does better for me.
I'll update once I start really seeing results, hopefully by the New Year.

Don't know why I didn't think of this earlier. But for those in marijuana-friendly states and countries, occasional smoking may actually help with insulin resistance. I've read of other women with PCOS who say marijuana helped with their IR. It's also been linked to lower rates of Type II Diabetes, as well as generally lower body weights. I didn't really think much of it before, but I used to smoke almost daily, and didn't start actually putting on weight until I stopped smoking.
However, for those with thyroid problems, marijuana may actually overstress your adrenals and cause more problems. I'm sure those on thyroid medication who only smoke occasionally will be fine, but anyone with severe thyroid problems should NOT take up daily smoking.
