Excuse me please, but that is one of the most misinformed things I've ever heard!Low carbing is the cure for insulin resistance.

This is a bold assumption on my part, but I'll suggest that your friend has messed up her metabolism by yo-yo dieting.

This is a link to the Atkins Center with 324 articles on insulin resistance. The articles were not written by the Atkins Center but by outside researchers. You may want to pass it on to her.

It's important that people do their own research and educate themselves. Doctors have very little nutritional education and are just as ingnorant as the average Joe or Jill when it comes to what effect diet has upon physiology.
