âYour labs look normalâ
- Your P*P at your annual appointment
Your fasted glucose levels?
92.
Functionally high but considered ânormalâ. Not diabetic.
Youâre good.
A1C - 4.1.
Looks great on paper.
But hereâs a marker that very few doctors are testing for... and it makes ALL THE DIFFERENCE.
Fasting insulin levels.
My clientâs was 18.3. Her other numbers were within range. No one looked any farther.
And yet... her insulin resistance was the root cause, and why she wasnât losing weight, no matter how perfect her macros looked on paper or how many days she spent at the gym.
When we dug deeper, I learned that she had been intermittent fasting in the mornings. Trying to eat a lower calorie diet, because you can only lose weight in a calorie deficit, right?
Eat less, lose weight.
Well, thatâs not always how it works (and pretty much doesnât work for women in their late 30âs and 40âs, especially after having kids, and especially when you are stressed out).
The first thing we did was make sure she was eating breakfast. And not just any breakfast, a high quality one with 30+ g of protein PLUS VEGGIES.
Yep, fiber is key too for losing weight, and macro trackers barely give veggies the credit they deserve.
We made these key changes, along with some other intentional shifts. Within 4 months, her fasting glucose was at an 86 and her fasting insulin was 5.8.
Oh yeah, and she lost 18 pounds in 16 weeks.
Want to dial in your results too?
Youâll want to make sure to look at the right data.
Itâs not just macros anymore.
