Diet works if you have insulin resistance October 29, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful

I was diagnosed with insulin resistance, PCOS, and chronic hypertension at the age of 19. I went on blood pressure medicine and metformin at that time. This year (seven years and many failed weight loss attempts later) I decided that enough was enough and I wanted to lose the weight so I purchased and followed the diet in this book. In 10 months, I have lost over 100 pounds, lowered my cholesterol 75 points, and have successfully stopped taking my blood pressure medication (under doctor supervision of course) and I have done all of this by following the diet outlined in this book coupled with moderate exercise. I highly recommend it if you have been diagnosed with insulin resistance. I can't speak to this diet's effectiveness if you do not have this condition, I just know that it worked wonders for me and drastically improved my quality of life.

Finally an answer to why I couldn't lose weight! September 29, 2008
After trying both Weight Watchers and Jenny Craig several times and losing only 5-8 pounds after months of dieting, I finally found out why I couldn't lose weight -- I had insulin resistance. I bought this book and started linking and balancing protein, fiber and carbs the way the book recommends and my weight is finally coming off. I totally recommend this book. :-)

I don't want to just repeat what so many other reviewers have already said. So suffice it to say that I also enjoyed reading this book and have found a wealth of useful knowledge in it. br /br /However, a few points that I haven't seen mentioned yet...br /br /-- Insulin resistance increases a person's risk of heart disease. The authors awknowledge this and briefly suggest making food choices that reflect a "heart healthy" lifestyle. However, they also tell the reader not to worry about salt intake and many of the items on their food lists are very high in sodium. This is not at all heart healthy. Watching my salt intake is fairly easy, but it does add a layer of complexity to this plan that is not advertised.br /br /-- The only focus of this book is weight loss. There is no mention of how to tweak the plan for weight maintenance. I am trying to reverse my insulin resistance (and PCOS), but I am not overweight. There isn't a single sentence in this book that addresses my situation. br /br /-- There is a heavy reliance on artificial sweeteners. For those who do not use artificial sweeteners, a level of complexity is added to the plan.br /br /-- One of the selling points of this plan is that there is nothing to count. That is technically true. But there is a lot of estimating to be done. Some people see great success with estimating and keeping things in their heads. I prefer to be a little more exact. Again, it's not hard to count carbs and proteins and keep track of calories (rather than estimating them), but it adds a level of complexity.br /br /So, because I'm a bit of a perfectionist, I've made this plan a little more complicated than it was originally advertised. But I still enjoy following it and I hope to see my insulin resistance reverse over time.

Best book! July 27, 2008
All my life I have struggled with my weight. I recently discovered what I had was Polycystic Ovary Syndrome, and have insulin resistance. This book is very clear on what combinations of food work together, and which to avoid. I have lost 5 lbs so far without very much effort at all. In fact, I am eating more now, and enjoying it more.
