You're under-fuelling:
If you have insulin resistance, I can say with 100% certainty that you're not eating enough:
✨️ CARBOHYDRATES ✨️
.. which also makes it impossible to get enough:
✔️ fibre
✔️ hydrating foods
✔️ vitamins & minerals
✔️ antioxidants
This holds you back in 2 ways:
1️⃣ micro-nutrients like fibre and vitamins restore insulin function
2️⃣ research since the 1930s confirms that diets with insufficient carbohydrates reduce glucose tolerance (Harold Himsworth)
so stop limiting the fuel you need!
⚠️ Restricting carbs and calories won't help you, it just makes these deficiencies worse
⚠️ survival mode ( = not enough nutrients) signals more fat storage and slows down the metabolism
Here's what to do instead:
➡️ eat veg and fruit before EVERY meal (it's SO easy to hit your nutrient targets like this)
➡️ get over your fear of carbs. Once you increase your nutrients, you will be able to process carbs better.
➡️ understand how insulin resistance works so you can start increasing your Carbohydrate Tolerance this week:
