Doesn’t insulin resistance make it difficult for people to lose weight?
If you decrease your bodies caloric intake and absorption you will lose weight(you can even maintain same foods and exercise level). It is best to decrease caloric intake and eat nutritionally dense foods AND increase exercise if possible. It might be painful from hunger pains and feelings of weakness etc..and difficult to maintain a diet with less available calories but you will lose weight.
As a general rule for each 10 calories lost on a daily basis (every day) one will lose 1 pound in a year. 12 oz. sugared soda is approximatrly 120 cals (some are more)..but if one drinks one of those daily but then stops that practice and maintains every thing dietarily the same...that one can lose 12 pounds in a year. If same person increases ecercise by lets say 120 cals a day....and drops the soda also...well...24 lbs a year. Its that simple as a general rule. It is difficult to maintain daily discipline but if you do...you WILL lose weight.
You cannot manufacture tissue from pure air and pure water. Remember the Biafrans? Did any of them have difficulty losing weight due to insulin resistance?
