A registered dietitian should be part of your care. Have your doctor refer you to one that knows about HIV and insulin resistance, not just any dietitian that deals with healthy people.
Do not waste your money on those supplements. Instead, buy real berries of all kinds and eat them for their antioxidant content, but they will not help you lose weight.
You also need to start exercising so that your weight loss is accelerated.
