Have you been struggling for a long-time losing weight and simply nothing seems to work?<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

Let me tell you that you are not alone, many of us find ourselves in the same situation.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

I\u2019ve also been there. I\u2019ve been struggling with losing belly fat for a long time. I\u2019ve always been a very active person, and I\u2019ve always thought that I ate the right way. Yes, I ate healthy, but I didn\u2019t have a good structure.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

I didn\u2019t know that I suppose to eat the foods in a certain order, or I would\u2019ve snacked mostly in the first part of the day, and I would\u2019ve eaten the important meals in the evening or eat a lot before bed.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

I hit the gym about 5 times a week and in the other day I would\u2019ve done some other type of exercise, like running, walking, playing tennis or dancing. But my weight mostly stayed the same. I\u2019ve never been overweight, but I always wanted to get rid of the last layer of my belly fat. It’s something that I feel I always had, it\u2019s been always there with me.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

Then I decided to do a deep research and find out if there is something else, I am missing out in the whole game and stop blaming my hormones. I felt there is something else I could do to help my body burning more fat by itself.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

Was then when I started losing my undesired belly fat when I understood this: What Is the insulin resistance and how does it affect our body when it comes to weight loss.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

Let me break down for you what does it mean to have insulin resistance.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

What is insulin resistance?<\/b><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

  • Insulin is a hormone produced by the pancreas.<\/li><\/ul>

    \u00a0<\/p>

    • The pancreas puts insulin into the bloodstream.<\/li><\/ul>

      \u00a0<\/p>

      • Insulin travels throughout the body in the blood.<\/li><\/ul>

        \u00a0<\/p>

        • It helps regulate blood glucose (blood sugar) levels.<\/li><\/ul>

          \u00a0<\/p>

          • It lowers the amount of sugar in the bloodstream.<\/li><\/ul>

            \u00a0<\/p>

            • It helps facilitate the movement of glucose out of the blood, allowing sugar to enter the cells.<\/li><\/ul>

              \u00a0<\/p>

              • Over time, your cells stop responding well to insulin.<\/li><\/ul>

                \u00a0<\/p>

                • This means your cells in your muscles, fat and liver don\u2019t open and can\u2019t easily take the glucose from your blood, resulting in excessive sugar in the blood.<\/li><\/ul>

                  \u00a0<\/p>

                  • This is known as insulin resistance.<\/li><\/ul>

                    \u00a0<\/p>

                    • Your blood sugar remains high, which causes your pancreas to keep releasing more insulin to make your cells respond and to help glucose enter your cells.<\/li><\/ul>

                      \u00a0<\/p>

                      • Over time the pancreas wears out and can\u2019t produce large amounts of insulin anymore.<\/li><\/ul>

                        \u00a0<\/p>

                        • Lowering your sugar and carbs lowers your need for insulin and lower your risk for insulin resistance.<\/li><\/ul>

                          \u00a0<\/p>

                          • As the blood sugar level drops, the pancreas puts less insulin into the bloodstream.<\/li><\/ul>

                            \u00a0<\/p>

                            • Insulin resistance may be present years before a prediabetic diagnosis is made. You may continue to have normal blood glucose results, but your body is increasingly requiring more insulin \u201cbehind the scenes\u201d to bring your blood sugars under control.<\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

                              What does it mean to have insulin spikes?<\/b><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

                              \n\t\t\t\t
                              \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

                              Every time you eat sugar or carbs, your blood glucose rises. To remove that excess glucose from the blood, your body releases insulin. If this happens occasionally, it\u2019s totally normal. But when you have frequent insulin spikes, several times a day, every day, your pancreas needs to release more and more insulin to do the same job.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

                              \n\t\t\t\t
                              \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

                              Insulin is not just a blood sugar hormone \u2013 it\u2019s also a fat-storage hormone.<\/b><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

                              \n\t\t\t\t
                              \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

                              When insulin is high, your body gets the signal to store fat and stop burning fat, especially around the belly (visceral fat). So repeated insulin spikes make it very hard to lose body fat, and the body keeps storing energy, instead of burning it.<\/p>

                              \u00a0<\/p>

                              On the other hand, when insulin stays low and stable your body gets the signal that it\u2019s safe to burn stored fat. And therefore, less fat storage, easier weight loss.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

                              Below I will share with you the changes I\u2019ve made in my lifestyle to keep in balance my insulin and to avoid many insulins spikes a day. It didn\u2019t take much time for the results to appear once I made those changes.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

                                1.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Start every meal with fiber \u2013 It can be veggies like broccoli, cauliflower, or leafy greens salads.<\/p>

                                \u00a0<\/p>

                                2.\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Then eat protein and healthy fats.<\/p>

                                \u00a0<\/p>

                                3.\u00a0\u00a0 And finish with carbs or sweets.<\/p>

                                \u00a0<\/p>

                                This order slows down sugar absorption (how quickly the sugar from the food you eat enters your bloodstream) and reduces insulin spikes. \u00a0Do Not Start your meals<\/b> with sugary foods or unhealthy carbs. They will really spike your insulin level. ( the energy will be store as fat, it would not be burn by your body).<\/p>

                                  I used not to eat enough proteins with my meals. This will make me still be hungry after having my meals and therefore I felt I needed to snack all day, I needed sugary stuff, my body was craving, because I was still hungry after eating.<\/p>

                                  \u00a0<\/p>

                                  So is very important to prioritize proteins like fish ( choose whenever possible wild caught, not farm raised), Organic red meat, organic eggs, tofu, beans, lentils, quinoa, almond butter etc\u2026<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

                                    Choosing the right carbs that won\u2019t spike my insulin levels was crucial for me in the loosing belly fat process. I gave up on floury carbs. I switched to almond flour options.<\/p>

                                    \u00a0<\/p>

                                    Choose whole carbs over refined<\/b>\u00a0\u2013 brown rice, quinoa, or oats release energy more slowly.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

                                      I am a person that couldn\u2019t live without my cheeses. \u00a0Every day cheese, almost at every meal. I just loved it. Unfortunately, they are very inflammatory and made me feel very bloated.\u00a0 You don\u2019t have to give up completely to your cheese, but eat very little.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

                                        This is probably one of the most common mistakes we all do. Drinking coffee without cream or sugar on an empty stomach can also spike your insulin levels.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

                                            \u00a0<\/p>

                                            I realized that wellness isn\u2019t only about calories or workouts; it\u2019s about balance, awareness, and giving your body what it truly needs to function at its best.<\/p>
