How Does Insulin Cause Weight Gain?
When you are insulin resistant, insulin levels rise in the blood. This promotes fat storage and prevents fat burning, making weight loss difficult.
The Solution Starts at the Root
Treating insulin resistance is the key to opening the door to weight loss. Without it, calorie-counting efforts remain ineffective.
Practical Steps
1. Reduce added sugars and refined carbohydrates
2. Increase fiber intake
3. Exercise regularly
4. Get adequate sleep
