"What is the Insulin Resistance Diet"
undefined
Hi Marlia,
in response to your question, the insulin resistance diet is a plan that allows you to eat carbs and protein in a way that controls your insulin resisistance Carbs must be eaten with protein so it doesnt cause an insulin spike which would have affect on your insulin resistance, which will make it harder for you to lose weight and easier to gain weight. Carbs are limited, for example at one meal if you have 14 grams of carbs (typically 1/2 cup rice, potatoes, etc) you must have at least 7 grams of protein (1 oz of meat, cheese, etc.) to balance it. You cannot eat more that 2 servings of carbs at one meal and your next serving of carbs must be at least 3 hours later. So typically, you can have breakfast, lunch and dinner with 2 snacks in between that are protein snacks. The insulin resistance diet advocates eating carbs because it is very beneficial, i.e., fiber, antioxidants in some fruits, etc. You must also drink alot of water and moderate exercise is helpful. What I like about this plan is that you can eat almost anything as long as it is balanced. You also can eat as much protein as you like to satisfy your hunger, but remember if you eat too much of anything no matter what it is, you wont lose weight because of the extra calorie consumption. Being on the insulin diet I dont feel lethargic as i used to so I hope it is helping. I hope this information helps you.
