How do you lose weight when you are insulin resistant?



there are some basics you can follow, I think these are good outlines of how to get started.

  • Eat whole, unprocessed foods, with at least 50% of each plate being vegetables.
  • Adopt a plant-based approach (90-95% plant-based, 5-10% animal-based), primarily made up of vegetables, fruits, nuts, seeds, and healthy fats, with an occasional animal protein or broth.
  • Beans and legumes are the hallmarks of all the longest-living populations in the world. Highlight them in your meals (especially lunch and dinner).
  • Choose small portions (palm or first-sized) of pasture-raised, organic, grass-fed, and/or wild animal meats and fish 1-2 times a week at most.
  • Try to have a small portion of nuts every day.
  • Eat an assortment of different-colored vegetables and fruits (eat the rainbow).
  • Drink clean water.
  • Eat fermented foods to balance your gut flora, like kimchi, miso, and sauerkraut.
  • Cut out inflammatory foods, like simple carbohydrates, sugars, processed foods, and candies.
  • Eat until you are 80% full to avoid overeating.
  • Look for foods that are high in fiber (whole foods) and low in sugar.
  • Eliminate all packaged foods, if possible.
  • Be sure to read ALL ingredient labels.
  • Never eat out of a box or bag.
  • Eat greens at least twice per day.
  • Choose organic whole foods as often as possible.
  • 80% of the time eat right, allowing yourself 20% “wiggle room.” (Ideally this would be followed 100% of the time, but sometimes “real life” gets in the way).
