Please do not ignore this. I kept putting off my blood tests when my weight was rising, thinking it was just lazy lifestyle. By the time I went to the doctor, my insulin resistance was quite high. Please get a proper checkup done soon.

Yes, high insulin levels tell your body to store fat instead of burning it, making weight loss very difficult. Try reducing refined carbs like white rice and maida. A warm cup of methi water in the morning can also help, along with your prescribed treatments.

I struggled with insulin resistance for two years. The key is to cut out frequent snacking to avoid constant insulin spikes. Stick to three proper meals with good protein and fiber, and walk after dinner. It really works.

My teenager was facing sudden weight gain and we found out it was due to high insulin levels. We worked with a pediatric dietician to change our family meals to healthier options. Proper guidance and love will help you manage this easily.
