Insulin resistance?

Learn how to identify it and regain your balance

Many people feel that something is not working well in their body: they diet, take care of themselves, but still find it hard to lose weight, feel tired or notice that their energy is no longer the same. In many of these cases, the cause is often related to a silent but common phenomenon: insulin resistance.

This condition is not always easily detected, but it can affect how your body responds to food, how it stores fat and how it produces energy.

🔎 What is insulin resistance?

Insulin is a hormone that acts as a "key" to open the doors of cells and allow glucose (sugar) to enter and be used as a source of energy.

When the body is constantly fed foods with excess sugar or refined carbohydrates (such as bread, white rice, flour or sweets), more insulin is released than normal. Over time, the cells may stop reacting to this hormone, and this is when insulin resistance is said to occur.

This causes a cycle that is difficult to break:

🔄 More insulin is produced, but the body does not use it well.
🍭 Glucose does not enter the cells properly and remains in the blood.
🧈 This unused glucose is transformed into fat, especially in the abdominal area.
🔒 As long as insulin is high, the body cannot access its fat reserves.

🚨 How do you know if you have insulin resistance?

Here are some common signs that may appear when your body starts to have difficulty using insulin properly:

⚖️ You struggle to lose weight even if you eat healthy.
🍽️ You are constantly hungry, especially for sweet things or flours.
🏋️‍♂️ You accumulate fat in your abdomen.
💤 You feel low in energy, especially after eating.
🔄 You gain and lose weight easily (rebound effect).
💊 You have been told that your glucose is "a little high".
😵‍💫 You notice difficulty concentrating or mental fog.

✅ What can you do?

At NaturalSlim^® we suggest a practical, natural strategy to help your body regain its insulin sensitivity. Here are some key recommendations:

1. 3x1 Diet 2.®

This type of diet balances the amount of carbohydrates you consume with protein and vegetables. It focuses on reducing type E foods (rich in sugars and starches) and increasing type A foods (proteins, vegetables and healthy fats).

🍳 Example: Instead of a plate of rice with banana and meat, choose a large salad with avocado and grilled chicken.

2. Prepare the body before fasting

It's not just a matter of stopping eating. Intermittent fasting can be a powerful tool when the body is ready. For that, it is important:

💊 Replenish minerals like magnesium and potassium.
🧼 Do a metabolic cleanse to support the liver and thyroid.
🍄 Control candida fungus, which can interfere with fat loss.

3. Intermittent fasting (progressive and without starvation).

Start with 12 hours of fasting (e.g., 8 pm to 8 am), and gradually extend the period. During fasting you can consume

Water
Black coffee without sugar
Green vegetable juices without fruits

4. Good hydration

Drinking enough water helps metabolism and facilitates waste elimination. The amount depends on your weight:

👉 If you weigh in kilos: divide your weight by 7 = 250 ml glasses per day.
👉 If you weigh in pounds: divide your weight by 16 = 8 oz glasses per day.

🌿 Get your metabolism back on track
