Hi Poptop,

The IR diet is called the Insulin Resistance Diet by Cheryl Hart and Mary Kay Grossman. They use the link and balance approach. For every 15 grms of carbs you need to eat 7 grms of protein. It is just another diet to help keep your insulin level. It gives you a little more freedom throughout the day. CAD and the IR diet are 2 of my favorite diets, but for some reason I can't seem to stick with either one of them for very long anymore, for various reasons. So I thought I would try both diets. So far so good.
