I’ve Found the Best Way to Beat Insulin Resistance - and it’s shockingly simple

Hi. I'm 40, an office worker and obese. I started gaining weight 13 years ago, right after I got my first "sitting" job. Before that I'd also eat what I wanted, but didn't gain weight. Recently I was wearing a glucose monitor for a month to see how my blood sugar reacts to my diet and physical activity. It turned out that walking is actually phenomenal at reducing it. You can even stop it from rising above the resting value. Now I understand that the problem with my obesity was caused by me switching from a walking to a sedentary life style. You'd think that walking doesn't burn too many calories. But it turns out it keeps insulin resistance at bay. Also, it's best to walk after a meal. Not to have a meal after a walk as a reward.

Thanks I have been waiting for this video. Can you please do a video with a carb cycling meal plan?

You should add that having a glass with 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar diluted in water before a carb-heavy meal helps a lot with insulin resistance. Also, walking for 10-20 minutes after a meal helps greatly.

So underrated how inflammation drives insulin resistance — not just sugar intake. Carb cycling works best when paired with resistant starches and timing them around real activity, not just workouts. A quick walk after eating can shift everything in your favor.

There's also fasted workouts in the mornings.

Thomas, love that you put the info on your screen so we can take a quick pic to refer to later!

I fast 16:8 eating between 11am and 7pm. I carb backload so I don't eat carbs until around 3 when I train. I also carb cycle like this with high, medium, and low days. Worked extremely well

“Resistant” starch varies depending on the food so do your research as to which foods have the most resistant starches! For example cooling rice only increases the resistance to 4% which is hardly significant but people treat this like it’s magic

Great content!

Thanks for the info Thomas.
