Going to suggest that you check out the video here first and then come back to this one i will link it up above are someone who has difficulty losing weight who carries a lot of abdominal fat who has skin tags this is a really strong indicator that a lot of people do not realize if you have frequent sugar
Cravings or if you have cravings after eating these are all signs that you are insulin resistant so if you’ve watched some of my other videos and you’ve started implementing some of my simple diet and lifestyle tips but you aren’t quite sure if you’re becoming more insulin sensitive if your insulin resistance is reversing
Here are six signs you can watch out for number one your waist is shrinking now i already mentioned that focusing misleading but measuring your waist circumference is a better option the weight on the scale might stay the same but your body composition and the type of fat you’re carrying might be changing
Visceral fat is a type of fat that we store around our organs in our midsection and visceral fat is directly related to insulin resistance when you are insulin resistant fat gets stored in places that typically wouldn’t such as around your can be stubborn to lose really the only way to lose it is to improve insulin
Sensitivity so if you’re measuring your waist circumference and it’s getting slimmer this is a really strong sign that your insulin sensitivity is improving number two you’re not hungry after you eat feeling hungry after you eat is very common for people with insulin resistance insulin resistance means that our
Cells are resisting insulin and not taking in glucose efficiently so basically the glucose which is the energy it’s there it’s ready for our cells as far as your body’s concerned the energy isn’t there because it’s not being able to use it and it needs more and this results in a constant feeling of hunger even
Just after you’ve eaten but when this starts to fade away and you start to feel more satiated after your meals this is a sign that your insulin resistance is reversing cravings this ties in with number two in some ways but it’s different as well yes if your cells are not able to take in glucose properly this
Means that you’re going to be hungry and you might crave sugar specifically but there’s a second part to this depending on how insulin resistant you are some people experience reactive hypoglycemia or low blood sugar this occurs when we eat foods that raise blood sugar significantly and our body produces too much insulin
In response this results in our blood sugar dropping too low implementing the strategies i talk about on my channel to reverse insulin resistance influxes in blood sugar that your body has to deal with and this will help with reactive hypoglycemia and your sugar cravings will reduce so if you’re experiencing sugar
Cravings less frequently is reversing now quickly before we get into the last three signs i’m going to take a moment to tell you about today’s sponsor squarespace i have been using squarespace since long before i started partnering with them when i was launching my health coaching business i was looking around

Cycle becomes regular this one only applies to women and number five is only going to apply to men but there’s a reason why a lot of women who are insulin resistant don’t have a regular menstrual cycle because having high insulin can cause women to also have high testosterone and this imbalance of hormones can
Cause your period to become irregular because it stops ovulation your period might be inconsistent or it might be abnormally long or abnormally short but when insulin resistance begins to improve your menstrual cycle will become more regular number five testosterone decreases so for women insulin resistance can cause
Testosterone to increase but for men it can cause it to decrease over half of men with type 2 diabetes have testosterone insulin resistance so when you start to see your testosterone going back up this can be a sign that your insulin sensitivity is improving triglycerides decrease your triglyceride
Of insulin resistance or insulin sensitivity having low triglycerides and high hdl is a sign of good insulin sensitivity and having high triglycerides and low hdl is a sign of insulin resistance so if you have a recent lab test with these numbers you can calculate your ratio and if you see your ratio improve you will
