Not another pill: Sorry -- it's not simple. You'll need to seriously review your diet, and see what foods you're eating that may be contributing to weight gain, Insulin resistance, etc. Also you'll need to gradually increase movement and exercise. A holistic or integrative medicine physician could help you with this, and also check thyroid functions, etc. Find one through http://www.Holisticboard.Org/.
