Are You Struggling To Get The Scale to Budge?

This was me.  I was eating healthy and exercising…diligently tracking every bite that went into my mouth…

But despite spending a good part of my day thinking about food – what I’m going to eat? When?  How much?  Will this make me fat?

I couldn’t get the scale to freaking budge – its so discouraging to put in all that work and not even see a little loss.

Luckily, I finally learned 2 very important things.  One I was insulin resistant and two was that because of that only focusing on calories in and calories out was making it next to impossible for me to lose weight.

Maybe more importantly though, I learned I could reverse my insulin resistance.  This gave me hope that I would actually be able to lose this weight that kept creeping back on.

Even though this wasn’t great news, at least I had an answer as to why I was having such a hard time losing weight.  At least now I had something concrete that I could work on.

If this is you too, know that there are some things that you can do to help make weight loss easier.

1.) Reduce your carb intake – carbs are the macro that affects your blood sugar (and thus your insulin) the most, so avoiding those foods that spike your blood sugar the most is helpful.

2.) Make protein the highlight of your meal – protein has a much more gradual affect on your blood sugar (and insulin), but its also the most satiating macro. It takes longer for you to break down protein so you feel satisfied longer.  The less hungry you are the easier you can reach that calorie deficit needed for weight loss. That’s a huge bonus, because if you’ve done that whole calorie restriction thing – you know that usually comes with a lot of hunger and cravings….its really hard to not think about food when you are hungry ALL THE DAMN TIME!

Don’t fear fat.Fats been falsely demonized for decades not but good healthy fats not only help keep you satisfied longer, they also make food really yummy – when you truly enjoy your food – you don’t feel like you’re on a diet! Just be sure to use the good healthy fats – like those that come from animals or fruits like lard, tallow, duck fat, avocado, olive, and coconut oils.Avoid those funky seed oils like corn, soybean and vegetable oil
