🚨 Physical Signs You Might Be Insulin Resistant 🚨
Insulin resistance often develops silently… but your body may already be giving you warning signs. 👀
Here are some physical clues to look out for:
✅ Dark patches on the skin (Acanthosis Nigricans) – commonly on the neck, armpits, groin, or knuckles.
✅ Skin tags – those small, soft growths on your neck or underarms can be a red flag.
✅ Stubborn belly fat – carrying extra weight around your midsection (apple-shaped body).
✅ Crashing after meals – feeling fatigued, foggy, or sluggish after carbs.
✅ Hard-to-lose weight – even with clean eating + exercise.
✅ High blood pressure or labs showing high triglycerides & low HDL.
✅ PCOS in women – often linked to insulin resistance.
⚠️ Why it matters: Left unchecked, insulin resistance can progress to type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and metabolic syndrome. But the good news? With the right training, nutrition, and lifestyle habits, you can reverse course.
