Product Description
Conquer insulin resistance. Reduce cravings. Eat your favorite foods. And lose weight! If you have tried every diet and are still struggling with your weight, the real culprit may be insulin resistance. When you have more glucose than your body needs, your body responds by producing more insulin to stabilize your blood sugar level and store the excess glucose as fat. In The Insulin-Resistance Diet, Cheryle R. Hart and Mary Kay Grossman show you how to control insulin resistance and lose weight without sacrificing all of your favorite foods. Overcome insulin resistance and lose weight with: - The exclusive Link-and-Balance Eating Method, which balances carbs with the right amount of protein at the right time for maximum weight loss
- Self-tests to determine your insulin resistance and check your progress with linking and balancing
- Real-world strategies for eating at home and out on the town
- Easy-to-make, tasty recipes and livable meal plans

 Very helpful book June 30, 2008

The Insulin Resistance Diet is very easy to read, understand, and follow. After getting the book I began reading first and then my "official" start date was June 1st, 2008. According to my doctor's scale, I lost 4 lbs in the exactly two weeks between my last visits. That's about 2 lbs. per weeks, which is a good rate according to my doctor. I have Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome, insulin resistance, as well as a family history of diabetes. I wanted to break the cycle of high and low blood sugar level spikes before my pancreas is used up!
Once you understand how your body reacts when you consume different types of food, and learn to recognize the different types, it is easier to eat out at restaurants, parties, and at home. The biggest changes for me is just finally feeling better, as well as recognizing true hunger signs for the first time that I can remember. I eat every 2-3 hours, always combine protein with any carbs... I will feel hungry 2-3 hours after eating, but not the extremes that I would feel before. I can even prepare meals and have started my whole family on the same healthy foods that I eat.. no more preparing two separate meals.. besides, I do not want my sons to get diabetes either.
Try this... for the $15-16.. how much better you will feel is worth the price.
 Easy to Read, Easy to Follow May 29, 2008
While it will probably get swept under the rug as just another fad, "The Insulin-Resistance Diet--Revised and Updated" is actually really well written. Within the first 30 pages, they've explained the what and why, and are already offering suggestions on how to improve your diet. As I checked this out from the library, I wasn't able to try any of the recipes, but the image of the seesaw to balance carbs with protein stuck with me - I see it in my mind's eye every time I sit down to eat. The premise is simple and very easy to incorporate into any eating habits - no matter how on-the-go.
after 7 months: steady weightloss and better overall health April 22, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
Over the past 7 months of this diet, I have lost 20-25 pounds. It took me about 2 years to put that on. The last few months of that process, before I started this diet, I felt terrible: I was depressed, I had low energy, and I experienced constant sugar cravings.
After getting the book and starting to follow the guidelines, I quickly felt an improvement in my mood and overall health. The weight loss came much more slowly, and at first I wasn't even aware of it. A few months ago I reviewed this book and stated that, while I had not lost dramatic amounts of weight, I did feel much better. That still holds true. Also, I got blood tests done recently, and compared to the ones a year ago, they were much better.
If I had any advice, though, it would be to take everything about the book very seriously, not just he dietary instructions part. Balancing carbs and protein is just the beginning: an overall change in lifestyle eventually becomes necessary, and that takes realizing that you have to dedicate more attention to your body and give it what it needs, even if it doesn't want it--exercise, more vegetables, etc.
Sensible book, easy to follow April 19, 2008
I bought this book about 6 months ago and have followed its basic principles. While I have not lost a ton of weight, that is probably due to my over active social life. However, most of the time I have followed it. I feel much better, healthier and more balanced with lots of energy and not feeling hungry.
This book is simple, makes lots of sense and easy to follow. It is definitely not a fad diet and is one that you can stick to and make into a lifestyle. The authors are knowledgeable and present their points in a friendly way.
I recommend this book to anyone looking to improve their general well being and lose fat as well as learning more about basic food groups and how to have a balanced diet.
