Insulin resistance
Basically you are pre-diabetic (mature onset)and need to avoid highly refined carbohydrates (sugar, soft drinks, cakes, desserts with a lot of sugar etc). A healthy whole foods diet is the way to go. Understand the glycaemic index of foods will help.

7 weeks on Atkins. Is it time to try something else?
I agree with McNole, long term change has to be about something sustainable. I'm a novice at long term change but past experience (losing/gaining/losing again)shows me that lifestyle is the change necessary and its a mindy/body experience. I'm finding most success with long term health benefits rather than focussing on a weight (number).

Can i lose 3 stones in 10 weeks ?????
I doubt that its a good idea. If you were young and have a high BMI it may be possible.Its over 4 lbs a week.

Is it possible I started dieting at to low of RDI?
I would suggest that you drink plenty of water. Try drinking a glass when your hungry and wait and see if the hunger actually (stomach rumbling) comes back. De-hydration can confuse you as can lack of sleep.
