Title: On insulin resistance diet to control PCOS
Review: I bought this book to give me some ideas on how to improve the way I eat after being diagnosed with insulin resistance two months ago at the age of 34. My insulin resistance is one of several health issues that came up as I was just diagnosed with PCOS (polycistic ovarian syndrome) as well as higher than normal testosterone levels. We have been trying to conceive our second child for one year and I have always had irregular periods with late ovulation. I began eating the way this book describes, by always linking carbohydrates with protein every two to three hours. I have increased my consumption of vegetables, legumes and nuts as well. I went several steps further than this book describes and cut out all refined carbs (white bread, pasta and any snacks made with refined flour) and all sugar/sweets and any fried foods (do not worry, please note that this book does not tell you to cut sugar or refined carbs!) The general premise of the book is to always eat protein with carbs. I just wanted to cut out refined carbs and sugar for health reasons as well. In addition to this I added 20-30 minutes of aerobic exercise five days a week to my bi weekly yoga practice. In the almost two months of following this nutritional and exercise regimen I have started to ovulate normally and have shorter menstrual cycles; this is something that gives us hope in getting pregnant sometime in the future. I began this regimen not to loose weight but simply to control my insulin resistance and bring that number down eventually and improve my ovulation. Although my original intent was not at all to loose weight I have dropped eight pounds in two months, almost a pound a week. Any belly fat I had accumulated in the last few years has completely melted away. Yes, I still have sugar and refined carb cravings but they have definitely subsided significantly. I am not hungry all the time like I used to and as a result I am eating more often, healthier food but generally smaller servings of food not this huge plates like before. The healthier foods I am eating makes me feel full longer (lean meats, whole grains, legumes, fruits and veggies). My bowel movements have improved. I feel healthier. I have more sustained energy without the morning low energy lull I had before. My muscle tone has improved as has my sleep. The book describes the link and balance method quite simply and provides extensive lists of foods and the amounts you should eat of each food to balance the carbs with the protein. It is pretty straight forward and I am glad I bought it.

Title: An interesting and very informative book on insulin resistance issues.
Review: As someone who has been a workout fanatic all my life I often wondered why I had trouble losing weight and reducing my stomach fat no matter how hard I worked out or how little I ate in my diet. About ten years ago I was diagnosed with type 2 Diabetes and that is when I learned from my doctor that insulin stores fat and that is why no matter how intense I work out it is difficult to overcome this problem.I recently purchased this 240 page soft cover book for a bargain price (The Insulin Resistance Diet by Cheryle R. Hart, M.D. and Mary Kay Grossman, R.D.) on Amazon and found it to be a very interesting and informative volume for anyone seeking a practical diet and is insulin resistant. The philosophy to overcome this problem and eat a more effective diet is the “Link – and- balance eating method promoted in this book. The purpose of this program is to balance your carb intake with the right amount of protein at the same time.This book is organized into three parts: Part one covers how insulin resistance makes us fat. Part two explains the solution to insulin resistance and the link and balance eating method. The final part focuses on making the method work for you.If you have found that you are insulin resistant as a pre-diabetic or a diabetic and are having trouble losing weight you may want to check out this book.Rating: 4 Stars.

Review: I haven’t lost much weight, as I have chronic insomnia which really reduces the body’s ability to burn fat and I also have adrenal fatigue, so I’ve added more fat to my food and it’s still working. I add a tablespoon or more of coconut oil to my protein shake, add avocado to my salads, as well as nuts and seeds. But I have still lost six or seven pounds in the last couple of weeks. I also cheated considerably on the weekend. I have done nothing but gain, gain, gain, so I’ll take those seven pounds and give myself a big high five.I’m vegetarian so am getting a little sick of the same sources of protein over and over again, but I love the way this method of eating makes me feel. I’m calm. I have no sugar cravings. My mind doesn’t race around trying to determine what I’ll eat next, while I’m still eating the last thing. I don’t even buy chocolate any more.I have read that some people are concerned about contradictions in the book regarding low fat foods, but just figure out if it does have more sugar or not. If not, go for it. If so, go for the full fat instead. Once you get your blood sugar regulated, you’ll lose weight and if you plateau, you’ll have to reduce overall calories.A few days ago, I left food on my plate, wrapped it up and put it in the fridge. I don’t remember the last time I just stopped eating when full. Very helpful.

Review: It took me six months and then I have plateaued. But I am 15 lbs lighter and have stayed there for six months now.The book – oh yes. The main fact that I gained from the book is how to balance my intake of foods of various components. The message is – don’t consume more carbs than you need at any one setting; and, protein balances the body’s use of carbs.I recommend the book. We could all use a little more education about what we should eat to be healthy.
