Fitness coach shares 5 tips to reverse insulin resistance and lose weight: The secret is ‘building muscles’
Hindustan Times••health
Key Points:
- Online fitness coach Julie Capozziello shared a five-step plan to reverse insulin resistance and aid weight loss, emphasizing muscle building through resistance training as it helps muscles absorb blood sugar without large insulin spikes.
- She recommends eating protein first during meals to slow glucose absorption, reduce insulin response, and improve sensitivity over time, suggesting one gram of protein per pound of goal body weight.
- Post-meal light walks are highly beneficial, as they can reduce glucose spikes by 20 to 30 percent by increasing muscle glucose uptake almost immediately.
- Regulating sleep and stress is crucial since sleep deprivation raises cortisol levels, which block insulin signaling and contribute to insulin resistance.
- Tracking data such as calorie intake and exercise progress is essential for behavior
