Marlee Coldwell is a registered dietitian, and her book is based on
current science; no fad diets here! In the first chapter of Insulin
Resistance Diet for Beginners, she
clearly explains the connection between insulin and metabolism and
the role of carbohydrates, proteins, and fats and the place for each
in our diet. (I love her about comment about selecting carbohydrates
that are “closer to the farm.) She explains how insulin resistance
develops in a way that is easy to understand. The second chapter is a
chapter of encouragement, “Five Steps to Overcome Insulin
Resistance.” Coldwell speaks to possibilities for improvement and
treating oneself with kindness, not beating oneself over the head. A
two-week meal plan and recipes are provided to assist the household
meal planner in getting off to a good start, followed by more recipes
to continue healthy habits. The recipes use a minimal number of
ingredients and have very reasonable prep and cooking time for a busy
lifestyle. I am grateful to have received a copy of this wonderful
book from Rockridge Press in exchange for my honest opinion. I was
under no obligation to provide a positive review, and received no
monetary compensation.
