Which tip are you going to try first? Watch part 1 here 👉 kzbin.info/www/bejne/jHywYpd6g7xke6s

[@DeanColding]

I have been doing most of what you suggested except the exercise. In 45 days, my BG has went from 180-200+ down to 117-135. This is eating less than 20G Carbs daily (sometimes none), mostly protein, high (good) Fat, Intermittent Fasting 16/8 and using Apple Cider Vinegar. I have stopped snacking and eat twice daily, sometimes only once depending on my schedule. Thanks so much for what you do.

[@chuckyd03]

Workouts for sure

[@saraannemartin3056]

Resistance training! Again this information is pure gold

[@janimistri5737]

Do you have any advice on how can I lower my fasting glucose? I've changed my diet drastically by cutting out flour, pasta, rice and so on. and I can't get my fasting glucose to drop below 100. What should I do?

[@HealthCoachKait]

jani mistri this video has some tips! kzbin.info/www/bejne/lZLKoGtqrc58eq8

[@Winnie-2609]

1. Track your blood sugars, 10 mins before you eat, 10 mins after you eat, 30 mins after, 2 hours after you eat. 2. BE SMART WITH CARBS. less than 50gm per day. Or less than 20g per day. Exercise if you eat carbs, eat at the end of meal, eat protein and nonstarchy veg first, carbs last. 3. Do the Exercise right. Use resistance training rather than cardio. Lift weights or squats, push ups etc reps over 20 mins.

[@randomcommenter935]

My 1, 2, 3 ... 1- Drop carbs to near zero (over time). Exception: non-starchy vegetables (if you like them, eat them) OVER TIME If you eat a lot of carbs now, drop to 100 carb grams or fewer today and do this for 5 days. On day 6, drop to 75 carb grams or fewer for 4 days. On day 10, drop to 50 carb grams or fewer for 3 days. On day 13, drop to 30 carb grams for a week. Weigh yourself ... decide if you can keep this up 2- Go sugar free and sugar substitutes free - over time First, ditch foods with sugars (primarily junk food). If you NEED sugar to get through this stage, use pure stevia. Ditch all laboratory created sugar substitutes. Use pure organic stevia. 3- Stop snacking altogether. Eat 2 meals (or one) daily, seated, fully chewing, and not rushing. If you must have your snack (nuts, cheese stick, hard boiled egg, etc.) eat that as part of your meal at the end - not while watching TV. Bonus: If you have gut issues, drink 30 minutes before or after your meal, but not while eating. Fluid while eating dilutes your stomach acid. That acid needs to remain strong to fully digest your food properly.

I think I've been insulin resistant most of my life. I had terrible acne in my teens and heavy periods, and always craved sugar. Lately I've developed skin tags and put on an alarming amount of weight. I started low carb two days ago and already I'm feeling better.

I watched Dr. Berg's KZbin videos and have reversed type-2 Diabetes. Main things which I did was, KETO diet and intermittent fasting. Target was to reduce my weight from 78 KG to 65. Currently I am standing at 69 KG. Took me 4 months. Recently HbA1c results were at 5.6 Carbohydrates are to be totally avoided.

I've been doing Keto with intermittent fasting 18/6 and ACV for almost a month now, I have lost 16 pounds so far, I went from 273 to 257 (I'm 6' 3") I've been doing a little exercise because I noticed that it will keep my BG lower than 100, I am trying to loose 22 more pounds before Christmas

[@oldtymer9106]

Great job! It took me 40 days to lose my first ten pounds, but I eased into keto and I.F. slowly! I'm 62, 6' & diabetic. Started at 360lbs, 25 weeks later I'm at 290lbs. I do mild cardio (30-50 minutes, depending on my schedule, with 90% of that time in my target heart range!). Feeling like I'm 50 again! I'm hoping by Spring2022 to feel like I'm 40 again - I weighed about 230lbs then. After that, who knows?! I do Supplementation as well to treat my diabetes and some other conditions. Keep up the good work!

[@jinesha19]

I'm 23 years old, just got my reports done and found out that I've pcos and my insulin is as high as a woman who is entering her menopause stage. My gynaec told me to take metformin for at least 3 months and also added that maybe I'll have to take the medicine for 1 and a half years. In her words, I shouldn't be hoping that my insulin resistance will reduce any time soon. I just saw your video on metformin side effects and I'm a bit scared. But this video solved a few of my confusions and I'm confident that I'll be able to get my insulin balanced, without relying too much on medicines. Thank you 🥺

[@HealthCoachKait]

That is very discouraging of your doctor to say! You can most definately start seeing improvements to your insulin resistance relatively quickly. I will say that when you do hit menopause, insulin resistance increase naturally. So if you can get on top of it now that is going to help a lot ❤️ I share some more tips for insulin resistance and menopause in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/l5uxkJx3q9xkprs

@@HealthCoachKait hey, thank you so much for your guidance! I stopped using metformin now, i was having issues with my health due to it my b12 was very low and i was losing my appetite as well.. generally i felt very weak so i stopped taking any kind of medicines now. But i keep watching your videos to learn more about insulin and also about visceral fat, you have been a great help in this journey of mine. And one good thing is, i lost 3 kgs of weight in the last 2 months just by changing my eating patterns (i started enjoying eating salads which i was sure i won't ever be able to do, but yay i am doing well with that!!), doing strength training with little bits of weights. I feel very positive that i am on the right journey now. Thank you so much for being so kind amd sharing all the important health related things with us 💗💗

[@daveisnothere]

35 years ago I learned about the two major points of this video, making sure you dont eat carbs alone and building muscle for fat loss instead of doing cardio. After all this time FINALLY someone has said it in a public forum where other people can learn this. Walking is wweird though, waking along a sidewalk is cardio, hiking up a mountain and scrambling over rocks resistance. I've seen a few people saying, "But I walk 6 miles every day and am still not losing fat!" yet I go on a 2 mile hike 3 times a weak and lose many inches off my stomach/waist. Walking on flat ground is a cardio workout, you aren't building muscle after the first few times you do it. I am surprised a lot of the big YT'ers that are huge 'low-carb' proponents dont touch on mixing carbs with fat and protein, and instead just say "no carbs." As Kait even says here, you can keep your blood glucose in the healthy range even with some carbs, especially if you stick with complex carbs like whole grains instead of simple carbs like sugar, white flour and white rice.

[@stevewitt3697]

Love how you have done the research and then simplified the advice for the masses. The only other big tip which you have discussed in prior videos is to shorten your window for consumption of food each day. Per your advice I’m drinking a leaded coffee at around 8 and then consuming food from around noon to around 7 p.m. I’m feeling more energetic already and not feeling the wild sugar swings! MUCHO THANKS 🙏🏼

The problem with many youtube videos is that they are generic if giving advice as not everyone's case is the same. And not all blanket suggestions will be good for everyone. The problem with my friends non-diabetic postprandial reactive hypoglycemia is that it seems he gets such low blood sugar no matter what he eats. Even the surgeon who was going to operate on his pancreas says his case is too complicated for him to do that. No one seems to be able to help him in the State he lives in. He is a very active young man and it is just a shame that no one seems to be able to help him. His slow GI could be a contributor though since bypassing his GI in hospital his blood sugars were more stable.

Very informative video! I was diagnosed with pcos when I was 20 or 21; at that time, a lot was going on, and I had no idea about any of it. I used to have very regular cycles ( 28 days, every month like clockwork), then after having to get my own housing, I was very stressed and suddenly couldn't afford food! So I went from having access to food at any time, to having no or very little money. I suddenly had to budget my food and I was only eating a little bit of food, maybe once or twice a day, well below the recommended daily calorie intake. During this time, I noticed a lot of things happening all at once: I was less emotionally stable (I guess practically starving will do that), I gained weight because what little I could afford had no real nutritional value, and I had no energy to exercise, let alone do anything else. My periods wound up becoming so irregular, it was really scary; at that point it was only happening once maybe twice in any given year. Well a little less than 2 years ago, I managed to get my calorie intake up and my periods are much more regular than they've been in almost 20 years! NOW, I'm having a hard time getting my weight down to 250, which is only a 25 pound difference and it seems like regardless of what I do, the weight won't come off. Starving myself won't help (that happened for 17 years and I only gained weight).

Walk for 30 minutes a day Wake up no later than 6 and exercise in the morning Don't eat any sugar or sweets Don't eat anything with bread Eat lots of green veggies After 3 months I guarantee you shred weight if you follow exactly what I've written, if not you should see a doctor.

@@JohnDoe-gc1kt That's not gonna work as I was doing everything you written for months, way before I saw your post and it didn't work for me.

[@MideaMusic]

Throughout my life I lost a lot of weight couple of times, and what I found out is that if I follow, what I did before and it worked before BUT if my stress levels are high - I stop loosing weight immediately and can stay like that for as many days as I am in stress. If stress level in your life is high - it will be very difficult to loose any weight no matter, what you do, even if you are starving. Another tip - because you've been eating little calories for so long, your body is trying to hang onto whatever calories it can get, as it worries if you are trying to kill yourself by starving, so it's trying to survive. So, to overcome this - start eating small portions (200-250g) every couple of hours every day at EXACTLY the same times. This is very important. Body needs to learn that it's getting food supply regularly, so that it can stop storing every calorie it gets. Once your body learns that ( it can take up to 1-2 weeks and also at that time you will not lose anything, so that's normal) then you will start loosing weight fast. Third tip - try sleeping as much as you can ( forget this 6am wake up, unless you really need to eg because of work) and try to get 8-9 and even 10 hours of sleep per night. The longer you sleep - the more you loose. Also, what was helping me out was exercising first thing in the morning, on an empty stomach, every single day. I did bodyflex (the old Greer Childers tapes) and it worked really fast for me. First week I'd exercise 2 times per day, as she advices, to jump start the metabolism, and afterwards I'd just do once a day in the morning. If you combine all those, you'll lose weight very quickly and also will tone up your body into a nice shape.

Hi Kait and community! I am so grateful to have found this channel. I am beginning my journey, starting with re-educating myself.

[@lorenlacerda4711]

Strength training does improve insulin sensitivity, however, multiple studies have shown significant benefits of aerobic exercise on insulin sensitivity in all types of populations (e.g, obese men, women, healthy adults). Also, it has been shown, on further studies, that combining aerobic exercise and strength training is more effective than any of them alone. Therefore, the thumbnail picture that advises the woman to stop running helps spread disinformation about aerobic exercise, in spite of its proven efficacy, alone and combined, in reducing insulin resistance.

Infact they added to my PCOD troubles by recommending very heavy rice based diets just cause they wanted me to go gluten free. Your videos have truly helped me understand my core issues and how to tackle them. I drive myself crazy while trying to pick the best workout for me. Cause nothing seems to work. I hate going to the gym and rely on home workouts by watching KZbin videos. But its so difficult to pick one that's best suited for my concern. I feel exhausted and stressed after some of those workouts and lose consistency. But your take on exercising gives me hope. I'd be happy to try short but effective workouts on alternate days since that's more suited to my work schedules too. Thanks Kait. God bless you for all the good work that you do.

I am type 2 diabetic and have been working on reducing insulin resistance and bringing down BS to normal levels. I stopped taking Ozempic last summer when I learned it increased insulin resistance by forcing pancreas to produce more insulin. Now I have learned that the BP med doctor gave me to protect heart is a med (HCTZ) that also increases insulin resistance. I have asked for either a new med or to get off the med altogether. In the meantime, what else can I do. I eat keto under 20 gr carbs regularly, and do intermittent fasting. I am a teacher and constantly moving in the classroom. A1c is higher at 6.2 than I think it should be based on what I am doing to control it

[@curtisssmith5204]

If you have type 2 diabetes, you need to cut carbs. Period. There is no reason to take carbs in through your mouth. The body will make the sugar it needs in the liver through a process called gluconeogenis. Carbs in green vegetables get a pass since it’s in the dietary fiber and you won’t absorb them. We don’t have the digestive system of a cow. Keep your diet high fat and moderate protein and practice intermittent fasting. The narrower the eating window, the better. Get your body fat adapted.(burning fat for fuel) This does take some time. She’s right that insulin resistance isn’t tested much in the medical community despite it being a common problem. No money in healthy people. Dr. Robert Cywes has a KZbin channel that explains the ins and outs on this very problem.

I guess most of my life I have eaten carbs first or together and protein last. So I will now try this tip in lowering insulin resistance.

I was diagnosed with PCOS when we were trying to conceive. My condition is pretty mild, in comparison to others with PCOS. I’ve been eating higher protein and lower carb over the past two weeks and here’s what I’ve found: I’m on 1500 mg Metformin. If I eat bread, any sweets or fruit juices, I get tummy troubles. I’ve been eating eggs, avocados, romaine salads, fresh fruit (an apple or a peach, and only one). I’ve cut pasta, bread, all sweets. Although I’m not as hungry after a protein rich meal, my body is having an awful time in the restroom. What’s that about?? I have lost about 3 pounds, but I worry that it’s all water and waste, not true weight. How can I get rid of the restroom issues? Am I on too much Metformin? I have an appointment with my Endo next month. I’m hoping for some relief! Thank you for this video.

[@nicpic1985]

My husband had this you may need to go get your Metformin dose lowered.

[@nyz844]

Metformin is known to have side effects that mess up your digestive system...it is also routine to start with 500 mg per day for a week...then increase to 1000mg the second week...so that finally in the third week you can do 1500 mg and go on with that dose...starting off with the maximum dosage is unusual to say the least

[@Ripplesinthewaters]

@@nyz844 I didn't start off this way. I've been on Metformin for 14 years. I did begin at 500, then 1,000 for many, many years. My new endo just increased it to 1,500 due to my labs being completely wacky in June. We are meeting again soon to discuss this. :)

[@Rasmajnoon]

Try berberine

More than helpful Kait!

[@nicole.michael]

You channel is very insightful! Thank you!

[@carloslburgosrivera2728]

Kait, blessings 🙏, I just wanted to know, what foods help in IR better? Almonds, rice , cherrios, salmon, fruits, any tea? Plus walking 30 minutes. Thank you in advance , greetings from Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 Carlos

[@shanar4532]

Thank you for the tips, I won't be checking my sugar but I will practice step 2 and 3.

[@CCmagee3]

Very good advice.

[@postalinVT]

I just watched the vid from another provider about squats for us old folks. I'm going to try that first then go for the other ones you show. Thanks Kait !

[@HealthCoachKait]

[@postalinVT]

@@HealthCoachKait Thanks Kait. BTW, you are still ROCKING those braces.....:)

[@HealthCoachKait]

Haha thanks!

Very motivating vid. Heading to my Grow Young workout for seniors right now. I have procrastinated way too long

[@mangoesification]

Thank you so much, Kati. I'm having trouble understanding something. After a meal if I know when my blood sugar will spike, when will I need to exercise - right after the meal, or some time before the spike?

[@rajendrapardeshi2342]

Very good information and explaination Thanks mam Respect from India 👍🙏

[@39madhurie]

Loved ur tips Kate will surely try to include in my rountine and hope it makes much positive change 😎😎

[@claudia5908]

Great info! Thanks Kait!

[@johnnycashm0ney307]

I would still incorporate cardio into your exercise regimen if you want to reduce IR. Namely for the cardiovascular benefits-- maybe incorporating circuit training so you are building some muscle mass while keeping your heart rate up.

watch your videos, they make us healthier. Greetings Kait

Hello ! I really like your videos and this one in particular, you are so enthusiastic and clear in your messages! Regarding the three points: The first: I'm a bit of a minimalist and don't want to buy an electronic blood glucose meter. The second: I have been eating almost no carbs for the past two months, however for some time now strangely my digestion is not perfect without a little rice, my sleep is not at its best either! too much energy? is my body under stress? anyway I feel the need to eat a little carbohydrate and your idea of permanently combining them with fat is really great and not starting the meal with carbs is very relevant too! Thank you it works! As for exercising right after a meal, I can't I'm too tired from digesting my two daily meals! Finally the third advice is the best for me I think, I practice a lot cycling and walking almost every day, however I'm tall and thin and not very muscular, actually gaining muscle would probably allow me to lower my insulin resistance! For a few days now I have been cycling up hills and practicing on fitness machines in the park next to my house, I hope that this will improve my health. Thanks again for your advice!

[@JM-gn9by]

Also struggling with sleeping while doing Keto/carnivore. Not sure if I should cut exercise completely, I’m not even doing anything that hectic. So needless to say every couple of days I’m forced to add carbs back. Maybe my body feels it’s is underfed and stressed😭😭😭. Still have a bit of belly fat to get rid of. So confused but will keep trying

[@arnomanet3371]

Hello! I'm going to try your 3rd advice because this one I didn't do it at all and I'll see if there is an improvement I'll come back to tell you, thanks for your videos Arno from France

[@gregmooradian3711]

Excellent information! Thanks

[@grainiac7824]

I would add make sure you use a reliable glucose meter. I bought one and had crazy numbers then checked it against the hospital grade one at work and the hospital one was way more consistent.

[@zinnia20207]

Hello. Great information. I saw another video where if the carb, like rice, pasta is cooked, then cooled, it changes 30-40% fiber, lowers GI. True?

[@andreac.5596]

Hello, I'm new to your channel. Do you have a video about gestational diabetes? I've watched a few of your videos and they are very informative.

[@skywalker847]

I have a naturopathic doctor and it's still a challenge to control insulin resistance.

[@cecillarin5896]

your video is very helpful. will try to track my blood sugar
