How do you lose weight when you are insulin resistant?

How do you lose weight when you are insulin resistant? The best place to start would be to switch to a plant-based approach.

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).
