I have some questions about CAD...I got the book some time ago and I found it somewhat confusing. I've been doing Atkins for about a month and a half and I have been having problems with shakiness and dizziness. My doctor told me she believes I am insulin resistant. I am unsure how that applies to the diet...I'm slowly losing, but I'm coming to a stop in weight loss, and I also find that I still want some of the things I used to like to eat...which aren't allowed on atkins...

what are the differences (besides the obvious..there are some foods I can eat on CAD) and how will it affect insulin resistance? How much weight do you lose?
