I can't recommend this book enough. After years of battling excess weight, facial hair and painful, irregular periods due to PCOS this book saved me. I have had this condition since I was 10 yrs old. The psychological effect of this condition on me as a teenager is something I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy. I spent years going to infertility clinics and being pumped with hormones because I couldn't get pregnant; years sweating away hours a night with a personal trainer at a gym to no avail and when I found this book, I had been on Weight Watchers for 8 months, yet I began to gain weight on it! WW told me I needed to eat more food! Every useless doctor I went to made me feel like I was doing something on purpose to be the way that I was. Finally, I found this book, went to an Endocrinologist who knew what he was talking about and within 2 months lost the 30 lbs of weight that plagued me for the last 10 years. The first thing my Endocrinologist did was take me OFF Weight Watchers. If you suffer from Insulin Resistance, WW is not for you; it's too low on protein and permits one to eat foods high in carbohydrates without pairing it with a protein. Link and Balance through the Insulin Resistance Diet is the way to go. I learned how to eat correctly and followed this Insulin Resistance Diet, maintained the gym regime and went on 850 mg, 2x's daily of Metformin, 2 Spironolactone daily, BC pills and within 2 months I was normal again. No more irregular periods. Less body hair and I could honestly say, I was at a normal weight - 30 lbs lighter. I didn't starve at all and unlike WW, I didn't "pass out" and get the shakes after I ate something, which incidentally is how my Gyno (who referred me to the Endo Specialist) caught the condition.

I bought this book to give me some ideas on how to improve the way I eat after being diagnosed with insulin resistance two months ago at the age of 34. My insulin resistance is one of several health issues that came up as I was just diagnosed with PCOS (polycistic ovarian syndrome) as well as higher than normal testosterone levels. We have been trying to conceive our second child for one year and I have always had irregular periods with late ovulation. I began eating the way this book describes, by always linking carbohydrates with protein every two to three hours. I have increased my consumption of vegetables, legumes and nuts as well. I went several steps further than this book describes and cut out all refined carbs (white bread, pasta and any snacks made with refined flour) and all sugar/sweets and any fried foods (do not worry, please note that this book does not tell you to cut sugar or refined carbs!) The general premise of the book is to always eat protein with carbs. I just wanted to cut out refined carbs and sugar for health reasons as well. In addition to this I added 20-30 minutes of aerobic exercise five days a week to my bi weekly yoga practice. In the almost two months of following this nutritional and exercise regimen I have started to ovulate normally and have shorter menstrual cycles; this is something that gives us hope in getting pregnant sometime in the future. I began this regimen not to loose weight but simply to control my insulin resistance and bring that number down eventually and improve my ovulation. Although my original intent was not at all to loose weight I have dropped eight pounds in two months, almost a pound a week. Any belly fat I had accumulated in the last few years has completely melted away.
