You're eating less, exercising more, but the scale won't budge. The problem isn't calories—it's likely insulin resistance preventing your body from accessing stored fat.
The Insulin Connection
When blood sugar spikes, insulin stores excess glucose as fat—particularly around the midsection. High insulin also locks fat in storage, making it nearly impossible to burn.
Blood Sugar Stabilization Strategies
- Protein and fat at every meal
- Eat meals in proper order: vegetables first, proteins and fats, carbs last
- Post-meal movement (even a 10-minute walk)
- Avoid grazing and frequent snacking
- Targeted supplements: berberine, chromium, cinnamon
Beyond the Scale
Stable blood sugar means stable energy, clearer thinking, better mood, and—finally—sustainable weight loss.
