i'm sure this book is even BETTER! The book I read, several yrs ago now, showed how to balance a meal with protein and carbs, and fat too. It was very specific & really helped with my cravings. Don't eat a carb without protein or if u must, a healthy fat. Hopefully, u'll eat both protein and fat with ur carb tho. I had read several books about dieting for carb cravings/insulin resistance and this book by Dr. Hart was THE best. I have a medical condition, PCOS, that has recently been studied more in the medical community and there are more books written about that -- with their diets also. This is still a good book especially for men or women who are just pre-diabetic, not PCOS-sufferers.
