The Insulin Resistance Diet

Right now, I am currently trying to follow The Insulin Resistance Diet written by Cheryle R. Hart and Mary Kay Grossman. However, I have to say that I'm slightly skeptical. In the past, I've generally had the best luck with more traditional low-carb diets such as Atkins or South Beach. The concept of The Insulin Resistance Diet is linking and balancing protein with carbohydrate. In other words, it's best to only eat carbohydrate in concurrence with a large enough serving of protein-rich foods. Frankly, I find it doubtful that the amount of carbohydrates allowed in this book (15-30 grams per meal) is sufficiently low enough to actually lose weight and reduce insulin resistance. But, we shall see. I plan on following this for a good test period, and if I'm not seeing results, to convert back to the more traditional and stricter low carb plans. I think this is at least worth a shot though, especially because my primary goal is not weight loss, per se, but eliminating insulin resistance and therefore clearing up my Acanthosis Nigricans.
