How Insulin Resistance Affects Your Weight Loss Journey
Thanks to LMNT for sponsoring this video! Head to to get your free sample pack with any drink mix or Sparkling cans purchase. Currently available in the US and Canada only.
Insulin resistance is a condition where the body’s cells become less responsive to insulin, a hormone responsible for regulating blood sugar levels. As a result, the pancreas produces more insulin to compensate, leading to chronically high insulin levels that significantly impact your weight loss efforts. This video explains what goes wrong and how to break the cycle.

Anything to be concerned about going keto while doing semaglutide injections?
Thx !
Help me understand how giving diabetic patients insulin is the best approach to reversing their problem if it causes weight gain and ongoing inflammation? Seems like a vicious cycle and modern medicine might need a different approach perhaps??
I stopped my Metformin and started eating only 3 low carb, unprocessed meals per day and my blood sugars are the best they’ve been in years.
How long did it take? Are you out of diabetic range now?@@lisacrowley9564
Depends if you are T1 or T2 to start with. If T2 then it’s worth not eating carbs, but if you are taking insulin you need to monitor so talk to your doc.
Some ppl’s blood sugar is so high there is little choice. Insulin is often used nowadays as a last resort.
Wondering about your thoughts on oxalates
If you are prone to kidney stones, it is best to avoid them. Otherwise, they are found in nutrient-dense foods that are okay to consume.
@Dr. Becky: Thank you so… much….appreciated.💫🙏💫. Ness.

Thank you for the straight forward guidance on insulin resistance, weight loss and blood/sugar/glucose relationships. I have already subscribed and have now supported 👍 🇦🇺 this video.
— I am in my 75th year,
— weigh about 105 kg (230 lbs), though I
— would like to be 85 kg (190 lbs),
— carry considerable visceral fat,
— have difficulty with balance because of nerves in the back being compromised – three back operations that, I believe, have enabled me to remain independently mobile.
— I use a staff to keep myself as upright as possible when walking into a shop and other short distances, and
— can still ride a bicycle, though
— walking as much as 40 ft is difficult.
Exercise, weight, Inflammation, are issues that I believe I need to address.
Hoping that the details given do not contravene guidelines, but will know soon enough via the YT comments web page.

I have been struggling to lose just 15 pounds. I gave up sugar and carbs and still wasn’t losing any weight. Then I decided to go back to calories in and calories out and BaM 🎉 losing again!
Same. Along with 3 meals a day, enough protein and no fasting
..moving after 5 years!
Good morning Dr Becky. Thank you for another great video ❤️🙋🏻♀️from Canada 🇨🇦. Have a wonderful day to both yourself and Dr Keith too 🥰
Thank you! You too!
Great show 👍
If I eat dessert once a month…does it affect my insulin resistency?
You will have to decide if it hurts or not. Everyone is different
I purchased your Zero Sugar/One Month book. Loved how your chapters take us through 1 day at a time. I ended up turning it into a no added sugar challenge for 100 days! out of the 100 days i had sugar 10 of the days. I have never done that before, I lost 15 lbs and felt so much better. My organs felt like they were thanking me lol I really learned to enjoy fruit for dessert the chocolate lmnt helped along the way for that chocolate something. My perferred way of eating now is whole foods! Thank you Dr Becky from Christa in NH
I am so happy for you, Christa! That is a wonderful result! Thanks for your comment
This is the key. I’m so very grateful for you, your sage advice, and your healthy community.
Thank you, CampMom!
Dr Becky thanks again for another well thought out video always serving up something beneficial.
This sounds great but if you’re going through menopause it’s a different situation
