A lot of women complain about their inability to drop weight no matter what they do, even strict dieting and hours of exercise seem ineffective. Weight loss resistance is a real issue and one may assume that they are destined to be obese because no diet or exercise seems to be working in their favour. However, there are more reasons why your body is simply refusing to let go of the extra pounds, and in this post, we detail them out one by one: 1. Your Body May not Be Processing Sugar Properly: Insulin resistance can totally turn the tide against you even though one may be trying every trick in the book to melt away fat. Insulin is a hormone that not only regulates blood sugar levels, it directs the body to store fat as well. In fact, high levels of insulin can totally block the access to fat deposits as well. When body cells become insulin resistant, it tends to store extra calories as fat, without burning them off. High glycemic foods such as high sugar, refined carbs, processed and junk food, also come with empty calories that sharply spike up insulin release, and as a result, most of those calories get stored as fat, especially around the tummy area. To reverse insulin resistance, cut down on added sugar, go low carb, and follow the diets on the Rati Beauty app.
