However, while we can change the diet in someone immediately, we can not reverse the IR immediately and for some there is a transition period while the IR reverses. In some folks it is almost immediate and in some may takes days, weeks or even a few months.
As I did say, in my experience in working with 1000's of these patients over the years, about 25% of them are very sensitive to fruit and processed carbs, even whole grain flour products and their "numbers" look better when they remove these foods or restrict them "until" the IR is reversed or mostly reversed. In these people, we see elevated TGs, insulin and blood sugars during this time and when we remove the fruit or other foods, these numbers go down.

Is there a genetic component to some of these things? I have seen ppl do this diet perfectly and still do not get the results they want. Go figure!
