Thoughts on Insulin Resistance Syndrome

by Mrs Jane Balls
(Aldeburgh,Suffolk,UK)

I am so interested to read your article on Insulin Resistance Syndrome. I cannot shift much weight at all these days. I am 59 years old & very mindful of my weight creeping up.

I have been a member of slimmming clubs for years, in fact since my twenties. Now I weigh as heavy as I have ever been! From a health point of view alone I badly need to sort this out.

I am praying this might help?

Hi Jane,

Thanks for your comments but I'm sorry to hear about your situation.

There are plenty of things you can do to get your weight under control quickly and easily. Some of the best principles are on this website! ;)

Over the years I have done many presentations to Weight Watchers groups here in Western Australia and I really like the approach they use. The support system they have in place is fantastic as well as the sense of belonging, community and non-judgement.

Unfortunately though, many people who go there tend to lose weight initially only to put it back on in the future because the basic principles they follow are not what I consider to be a long-term, sustainable approach.

Plus, I tend to disagree with a few of the basic nutritional principles because they are based on standard nutritional recommendations.

Simply reducing your food intake, without exercise, particularly resistance exercise, will result in a loss of both fat and muscle. A loss of muscle results in a reduction of your metabolic rate, which makes further weight loss more difficult.

To make matters worse, people who have some degree of insulin resistance are generally told to eat low fat!

Alternatively, they may be put on insulin medication which makes the situation even worse!

Okay, I'll get off the soap box now.

Jane, please spend some time reading the information on diabetes. I certainly don't claim to have all the answers but I do believe that the principles I recommend will work for you.

I wish you all the very best of success.

Regards,

Steve.
