A member asked:
Please explain why people say losing weight with insulin resistance is very hard, or even impossible?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It is difficult: For people with Insulin resistance loosing weight is difficult but not impossible because they have higher Insulin levels and Insulin not only controls blood sugar but promotes the storage of energy as fat and contributes to hunger so patients have to work extra hard to overcome this.
