Insulin resistance is a condition in which the body’s cells no longer react to insulin produced by the pancreas, and therefore do not take in sugar. An insulin resistance menu is a meal plan which is designed to keep your blood sugar levels from rising too high. A good insulin resistance diet menu will consist of foods which are low in carbohydrates, yet balanced in other nutrients that your body needs throughout the day. This article includes a sample insulin resistance menu, but you can find more insulin resistance diet menus in each of the following websites:
