You’ll never lose fat if you’re too insulin resistant.

But young fitness influencers tell you it’s just about macros...

Here are 10 hacks to fix insulin resistance and finally lose fat (even if nothing has worked for you): 🧵

1. Walk after every meal

Walking after meals:

- Lowers insulin levels
- Reduces inflammation
- Increases mitochondrial health
- Improves signaling & receptor function
- Activates glucose uptake without insulin.

Scientific studies show it can reduce post-meal glucose spikes by about 17%–25%.

2. Do frequent & quick workouts.

Spiking your blood sugar without being active is TERRIBLE for insulin resistance.

But quick workouts will immediately fix it.

Do home workouts like this in as little as 15 minutes (bookmark this):

3. Spend more time in nature.

- Boosts vitamin D
- Supports gut health
- Reduces inflammation
- Encourages movement
- Lowers cortisol & stress
- Improves sleep & circadian rhythm.

Health is more than just diet and exercise.

4. Consume these herbs & spices.

Insulin resistance is affected by:

- Inflammation
- Glucose metabolism
- The activation of the AMPK enzyme.

These herbs and spices help with those. It's not just about carbs & calories.

5. Boost your body's natural energy production.

The more energy your body naturally produces:

The more glucose is sucked from your bloodstream WITHOUT more insulin.

Just get more of these 7 nutrients:

6. Eat more healthy fats and less carbs.

We were told to minimize fat and eat more carbs.

That's led us to an epidemic of obesity, insulin resistance, and diabetes.

Healthy fats improve your hormones, metabolism, and inflammation.

7. Intermittent fasting.

It reduces insulin resistance, even if you eat the same food, by improving:

- Inflammation
- AMPK activation
- Glucose metabolism with autophagy.

Follow these tips to make it easier for you:

8. Improve your sleep.

Poor sleep worsens your:

- Hormones
- Metabolism
- Inflammation

Which increases insulin resistance even when you eat the same foods.

9. Improve your gut health.

Poor gut health leads to high inflammation and cortisol which worsens insulin resistance.

It even reduces your absorption of key nutrients like:

- Zinc
- Omega-3s
- Magnesium

Which you need for many health functions, including insulin sensitivity.

10. Reduce inflammation.

Inflammation blocks insulin’s signal inside your cells.

Cytokines like TNF-α and IL-6 disrupt IRS-1 → impairs GLUT4 → stops glucose from entering cells.

Result? Blood sugar stays high.

Insulin resistance is a hidden cause of:

- Cancer
- Obesity
- Heart disease
- High blood pressure
- Dementia & Alzheimer´s.

But follow these hacks, be a healthy weight and you'll be fine!
