Reversed My Insulin Resistance

I am a 27 year old who was insulin resistant in September 2021. I weighed 118kg and lost 30kg in just over 3 months and since then have maintained. I have reversed my insulin resistance and also helped 2 family members reverse their type 2. I eat the foods I love and literally don't count calories. It's amazing.

    1. , I am very happy to hear your story. I have had overweight one year back. I consulted with a doctor via telehealth Ongo Care. The doctor evaluated me and found that it was insulin resistance. From that time to now I am under a doctor's supervision. After Doctor advised me on food intake, I am applying that in my day-to-day life. I don't eat sugar, flour, grains, rice, or potatoes as well. I ended insulin resistance permanently with more exercise, sun (Vitamin D), and stopped eating carbohydrates. Now I don't take high calories food and well with good weight management through my doctor's help.
      The best thing I have found to end insulin resistance is the 36-hour fast. When you don't eat anything for a whole day and night, It can reset your body chemistry and end insulin resistance if you haven't let it go on for too long. The effect on insulin resistance will last until you have another high-carbohydrate meal.

      1. , Thank you for sharing your story! Insulin resistance can be difficult to manage. I'm glad your doctor was able to offer good advice and that you found a meal and exercise plan that has been working for you! Keep up the great work!

    2. Well done! Same story here as well but started in March of 2022. Over a year later and healthier than ever with no diabetic symptoms!
