Does "The Insulin Resistance Diet" work?
Posted on Apr 18, 2009 under insulin resistance diet | 3 CommentsI bought the book and basically it says to eat a protein with every carb and limit carbs to no more than two servings at a time. It says to eat a protein at every meal and never eat carbs alone. Does this work? Im insulin resistant and just pure calorie counting has failed me (regardless of what some people say about weight loss being all about calories in vs. calories out).
it says that eating a protein with a carb helps to keep your blood sugar stable. i know that calories ultimately matter, but also know that calories are not the only thing that matters. im asking if eating this way stabalizes your blood sugar thus keeping your from having too much insulin in your blood to store excessive fat.
Insulin resistant people can just use the same diet as diabetics. Try www.diabetes-support.com. Most of it is about diets.

I have no idea what the reasoning is behind a "carb+protein" diet. If you are "insulin resistant," quantity and proportion is what I believe to be the most important variable. Eating one helping of, say, pasta, is much better than eating 2-3 helpings + a protein rich side. Exercise also plays a dramatic role in glucose control.
Also, calorie counting fails a lot of people for behavorial / habitual / inaccuracy reasons most of the time. Protein/fat/carbs all have different impacts on the body but the "calories in vs. calories out" formula is factually true.
