48. What Is Your Fasting Insulin Level And How Do You Improve It?
Manage episode 285007284 series 2715087
Do you know your fasting insulin level? Insulin resistance leads to Metabolic Syndrome Before symptoms like elevated blood glucose and triglycerides appear, insulin levels have been high.
Insulin resistance is driven by visceral fat around the organs. Visceral fat is a bigger driver of disease than subcutaneous fat. Learn more about this topic and how to improve your insulin levels.
QUICK NOTES FROM ZANE:
How do we become insulin resistant? 1. Eat a high carb, high fat diet 2. Eating too much sugar/fructose and refined grains 3. Eating too much vegetable oil like soy, corn, cottonseed, canola, safflower 4. Drinking too much alcohol 5. Not getting enough sleep can add to an existing problem of insulin resistance.
Get your fasting insulin checked. 1. Eat less often: 2-3x a day with no snacks 2. Prioritize protein: Goal of .8-1g of protein per lb of body weight 3. Limit alcohol to 2 drinks per week 4. Get at least 6 hours of sleep each night 5. Get diet in place THEN add exercise with priority on strength training
Be consistent with a sustainable plan. Allow your body time to change hormonally before seeing big results
Set yourself up to succeed with a plan and schedule. Don't rely on willpower to get you through moment by moment.
