The biggest problem of those with insulin resistance is not being able to lose weight. The biggest mistake people make in order to lose weight is skipping meals.

After eating fast and too much, your blood sugar will suddenly rise. This time, your brain will stimulate your pancreas and excess insulin will be released. Excess insulin does not take blood sugar and throw it out, it turns the sugar into fat, which means you gain weight. Rapidly rising blood sugar will drop at the same rate, which leads to conditions such as fatigue after eating and sleeplessness.
