You don't have a belly fat problem.

You have an insulin problem.

Insulin resistance stops your body from burning fat, no matter what you eat & how much you exercise.

Here’s how to reset insulin (& 5 methods to burn fat again): 🧵 Insulin is a storage hormone.

When you eat, insulin helps shuttle glucose into:
• Muscle (glycogen)
• Liver (limited storage)
• Fat cells (long-term)

In insulin resistance, your cells become numb to insulin’s signal.

You end up always tired, hungry, and in fat storage mode.
