People with insulin resistance have a big problem with weight reduction, despite long and exhausting physical exercises and continuous holding a diet that doesn't lose weight or the weight reduction effect is negligible.
What does insulin resistance mean and how to deal with it ❓
Insulin resistance is a condition where the body cells are not sensitive to insulin. The amount of insulin produced is either normal, or the pancreas produces excess insulin to avoid elevated blood sugar levels, which it is still unable to reduce due to the insensitivity of body cells to this hormone. Excess insulin is called hyperinsulinism. Excess insulin causes the accumulation of fat tissue, especially in the abdominal area, and makes slimming much more difficult.
The cause of insulin resistance is many, including obesity itself (especially abdominal obesity). Fat tissue produces harmful substances that reduce the effect of insulin and cause chronic inflammation in the body. In order to reduce the risk of insulin resistance, the waist circumference should not exceed standards. Insulin resistance is favoured by a sedentary lifestyle, constant stress, an inadequate diet rich in monosaccharides and saturated fats and too little sleep.
What symptoms may indicate the presence of insulin resistance?
🌐 ineffective weight reduction process despite great efforts, especially difficulties in getting rid of fat from the abdominal area,
🌐 frequent feeling of cold,
🌐 feeling sleepy after a meal,
🌐 weakening,
🌐 fatigue,
🌐 memory and concentration problems,
🌐 big appetite for candy.
If you suspect that you may have insulin resistance, contact your doctor for the necessary diagnostic tests.
Remember!
✅ If you suffer from insulin resistance, you can still get rid of excess weight and improve your health with a cleverly planned action plan (training and nutrition). Additionally, the loss of even a few kilograms increases the sensitivity of tissues to insulin 😔.
