This website is dedicated to people who have insulin resistance, because that’s what I have and I wanted to share the information that I have learned since being diagnosed. It has been put together with the emphasis on diet (the medical stuff is only interesting to me as an explanation for the condition). I am more concerned with how insulin resistance affects a person’s weight, puts them at risk of developing diabetes, stroke and heart attack, and how to reverse it with different diet and lifestyle choices.
Since it is my intention never to become diabetic, I am limiting the scope of the content to ONLY insulin resistance, which is the first stage of prediabetes, and is one of the conditions common to metabolic syndrome or syndrome X. The objective is to inform others about the best insulin resistance diet to follow and to pass on any useful information I have found during my research. I don’t have PCOS but I know that many of the principles that apply to insulin resistance are of benefit to those who do.
My name is Alison Cox. I’m 52 years old, and I’m from Sydney, Australia. This is me:

Hello, I like your website.
I have IR and I am reading The Insulin-Resistance Diet by Hart & Grossman.
Have you followed their program? I think it could help me because nothing else has worked for me and my sister. Their website does not work at this moment, do you know where else I can find the Worksheets or the “Restore Score Self-Test”?
Thank you very much for your time. Keep up the hard work.
Amber
Hi Amber,
You’re right, their website doesn’t work. It was one of the first things I wanted to find! Sorry, I don’t know where to find those things. I only know of the worksheets/self test inside the book itself.
The book is a very good start and I hope it helps you. I personally don’t eat much junk/processed/fast food, and I am stricter with carbs and sugar than this book allows. You may find you graduate to this as your tastes change and your appetite decreases. Good luck!

Thanks,

Alison, thank you for the excellent information. I, like you, was horrified to learn recently that I am insulin-resistant. Reversing that issue is a high priority and your site will help me make wise choices.
Cheers!
I paid for the Quick Start Guide via paypal on 5/15/13, received my confirmation via email, but did not receive the download. Would you please email it to me?
Hi Sue,
Of course, I will send it to you right away! There should have been a link in the confirmation email that you click to get access to the e-book, but I will just send it as an email attachment.
