Default IR Diet?

Is anyone doing the IR diet? If so, how is it working for you? I have been doing Atkins, but I am having a difficult time losing the weight

I try to use the IR diet principles, but I have higher estrogen issues in my body and fat also produces estrogen...so I use the diet to help to balance my insulin levels... Higher estrogen levels creates an insulin imbalance in some women which makes it harder for them to lose weight. I currently am using progesterone cream which has helped me lose weight when I otherwise wasn't losing...on meat and egg fasts, strict Atkins, etc...I have to have additional carbs...

So yes it has been very useful... There are a lot of women at www.soulcysters.com that are on the program...
