6 Signs Insulin Resistance Is Reversing! 

Have you seen any of these signs?!

1. Shrinking Waist 2. Not hungry after eating 3. Fewer Sugar Cravings 4. Regular Menstrual Cycles 5. Testosterone decreases 6 HDL increase and Triglycerides decrease

I have lost 27 lbs in three months ( I am 65) using your videos as an educational guide. I combine apple cider vinegar and fresh lemon and lemon juice to Perrier Water and ice and drink prior and during meals. I now eat no more than 2 meals a day and very much pay attention to what I am eating. And I am not hungry. Thank you for your videos. It is making a difference in my life.

I just got diagnosed with insulin resistance.as a nurse i was devastated.im55.i have been binge learning about all of this and intermittent fasting.

My waist IS shrinking! I started this journey in February. Although I had known I was diabetic for a year, I ignored the diagnosis until I realized I was at a crossroads. My A1C went from 6.7 to 9 and I knew I couldn't ignore it any longer! With the help of watching videos like yours, Kait, and keeping carbs low with 16 hour fasting, I have lost over 40 pounds. I still have a long journey ahead but I am so happy seeing results. I checked my A1C earlier this month and it is 5.0!!!!! I just came back from a 3 week vacation so I know I went off IF and my carbs increased a LOT but my fasting number in the morning was never above 115 and most days it was under 100 so hopefully that means I made good choices. Now that I am back home, my weight did not go up and in fact went down a couple of pounds so I'll consider it a win. Every day is a struggle for me but knowing how food impacts my body has been a game changer and I owe it to people like Kait who have provided such a wealth of knowledge. Thank you!!

As a nurse u have taught me sooo much.

I've been following you for about 6 weeks now. I have completely changed my diet, I have lost 25 lb, and I feel much better. Thanks for your awesome videos!

Kait, thank you so much for your hard work! I am a doctor but still in 2022 in medicine we are being taught the classic "food pyramid" which does not make sense from a physiological or anthropological point of view. I have started following your advice two months ago and so far i have noticed the following: 1. waistline went from 76 to 69 cm 2. not feeling hungry or sleepy after eating 3. no sugar cravings, actually i eat less overall because i feel satiated with the type of food i am eating now

I am only seven days in to fasting 18/6 and returning back to a Keto diet plan. Already I feel so much better, I do not track my sugars daily but know from the diet I was keeping that things were out of control. Down 4.6 lbs in 7 days but the true gain is the energy I have. I am walking 3 miles a day and not even feeling tried afterwards. I hope to be in much better shape than I am now when my 70th birthday comes in November.

Yes! I had started the carnivore diet about 3 months ago and so far i have seen a few positive signs. My waistline, appetite, sugar cravings & stable energy are some positive signs that i have noticed.

Yes, I have seen some of them. Thanks Kait, I appreciate your efforts teaching and inspiring people in all things Insulin Resistance

i think being super skinny and not being able to gain weight at all is another side of this whole sugar problem conversation.. great content..

Thank you so much…. My husband has just begun a diet to reverse his type 2 diabetes ….this is a great help.

I've always only eaten in the evening, for most of my adult life, (I'm just turned 61 now) but did way too much late night snacking once I did start eating. I stopped all that 16 months ago and am now 84 lbs lighter, and lost about 15 inches from my middle ( and hips) It wasn't really hunger, as I have always been able to go many hours without food, but more boredom eating I think. Alcohol played a part too, which I also stopped. I don't even know if I was ever insulin resistant, but I'm guessing I probably was, due to my oversized "waist"

After watching this video it induce new spirit in my body .it gives new hope how to lead a healthy life by caring ... The work you are doing on health it is highly appreciable . In this regard I have no traditional words to pay tribute ...

Yes! My skin tags are disappearing and I'm no longer hungry after eating!!

I fell off the wagon AGAIN and I am experiencing all of these symptoms such as lower satiety, increased sugar cravings and lower sex drive all after going off plan for a week or so. This summer I have not had as much success being 110% strict on myself as I was last year. Those summer beers really add up quick. I'm still down 60 pounds so there's that. This is really hard and I haven't been able to let up one second without seeing an immediate plunge to the old me. Got to pick myself up. The good news is that since I have been following you and others my health has improved tremendously, so sometimes you must look at the bright side. Thanks

I have been carnivore for 5 months now. At 3 months I had my labs done. My AIC went down, my fasting glucose went down but still not in the clear. My Triglycerides went down and my HDL only went up 1 point but still not in a good range. Things are going in the right direction but I'm thinking I just need more time. I suspect I've been living with IR almost 20 years before my diagnosis about 3 years ago. I did keto for many years before I knew I was IR all the way until I switched to Carnivore. The only thing I haven't been able to tackle is proper sleep. I'm doing everything I can. It's definitely easier said than done...

waste decreased by 4 inches, triglycerides decreased from 500 + to below 100...currently struggling with a weight plateau, adjusting macros and exercise

Yes! A year on Keto now - waistline (about 4 inches smaller 36-32) and weight (-10%) also now smaller. No sugar cravings and although eating less, I am less hungry. Testosterone is normal although not sure what it was before Keto and cholesterol better despite eating foods they used to warn us about. I have found the keto diet fine and enjoyable but a bit difficult to keep to rigidly when travelling as too many foods on offer are carb rich fast foods. My sugar levels are considerably lower and classed as normal

You're still a superstar. As these are signs of insulin *reversing,* #5 should be testosterone *increasing,* you have it listed as decreasing, although you do explain it clearly in the video. TL;DW #1 Shrinking waist #2 Not hungry after eating #3 Fewer sugar cravings #4 Regular menstrual cycle (women only) #5 Testosterone increases (men only) #6 HDL increases & triglycerides decrease

Thanks Health Coach Kait! Excellent video on insulin resistance! Really enjoyed your Master Class!

My Triglycerides decreased from 151 to 145,and so did my HDL Cholesterol from 50 to 43.I experience less sugar cravings.Hopefully my body is responding to the effort I am putting -trying to lose weight and beat Insulin resistance.

One of the biggest indicators for me that I was a T2 diabetic is that I was losing weight. I lost about a pound per month and couldn't explain why. Then once I found out I was IR, I went low carb and I lost even more. My waist is slimmer now than it has been since middle school. So why is it that in some people IR causes weight gain, and in others it causes weight loss? I wasn't obese or anything, I was about 222 pounds at 6'2", now I'm 192.

Thanks for sharing so much useful information!!! I have learned so much and continue to make improvements to my health because of your channel!!!

Kait, I’ve lost 9 pounds since 5/8/22. I know that’s not setting any records for speed, but I’m 61, have fibromyalgia, retired, no longer smoking like I did when I was young, and 10 years past menopause. It seemed like each of those steps had me putting on weight. I tell you, this is the first time in probably 10 years that I’ve actually seen the scale go down. I’ve been doing “dirty” keto (far from perfect for sure) and intermittent fasting. And what made me actually step on the scale a few days ago was just that I felt thinner, like I could bend and breath easier. My arms don’t feel so far away from my body… I have a long way to go, but just seeing the scale move has me motivated. I am going to keep doing what I’ve been doing. I’m hoping that as I lose a few more, maybe my knees and hips and back will feel a little better, and I’ll be able to up my steps. Thanks for all you do trying to teach us all. Have a great weekend!

Reverse insulin resistence is very important

Great video Kait! Like always 💝

Omg, your makeup is perfect

Thank you 💕 from Johannesburg South Africa 👍💕

Today is Day 1 of my insulin reverse journey and I had eggs for breakfast, a peanut butter sandwich on wheat thins with carrots and hummus with strawberries on the side for lunch I honestly feel pretty good instantly

Kait- I can put a check mark on 1,2, and 3 for 5 and 6 I will find out next week as Im going in for blood work and Dr visit 2 days after that. Im highly looking forward to it Last Dr visit had most all readings out of range, since then have lost 40 lbs and fasting blood sugar reading are pretty steady below 100. Previous Dr visit had me BS 124 and A1C at 6.4 . IM expecting better readings all around but especially A1C which should be below 6.0

I can confidently state that I have ticked off all six signs since May 2021, thanks for posting the golden nuggets!

Took 4 days for my cycle to come back. today is the 10th day and I slept on my back which if you are obese you know to never do that cos you might choke(I have a couple of times) but I woke up completely fine today. I must say these non scale victories feel better than actually seeing the scale move.

Thank you coach

Hello Kait good to see you. I am slimming down slowly =)

I dont crave sugar, I do a pretty strict keto, but I eat and am hungry again shortly after... I'll usually eat a protein or fat "avocado" and it does the trick... Ooo!!! When I first started keto, I ate in a six hr window... now I'm hungry every 6-7 hours

Great videos! Question - I've been fasting for one year. I've worked up to doing an 18/6 split and find myself no longer having cravings. BUT right around 15-16 hours, I get COLD. Then right around 17 hours, I warm up and wrap up my fast for the day. Ever heard of someone experiencing this as a symptom of insulin reversal?

My coach Kait 👍

I lost 50lbs, my waist shrunk, but my HCL lowered and my LDL raised. My triglycerides were normal so to was my overall cholesterol and VLDL. I’m soo confused on what happened. I am keto and fast.

Thank you, your videos are very helpful 👍❤️🙏😎

You look nice today. Keep up the great videos.

Hi miss Kait, can you please make a video for men on why we don't gain muscle when we workout? I always feel pumped after workout, maybe for a few hours later. But it doesn't stay the same. Also, I'm wondering why I can't lose those last 2kg of fat. It's really hard and I feel like my body doesn't want to lose them. Thank you :)

Like your make up Ms KAIT. You are so beautiful and look healthy. I follow all your videos to build up my health. It Work well.i get 10% body fat. BMI 19 consistently Am healthy, beautiful and happy at 70. Don't follow any specific diet, just eat healthy, follow your methods to reduce carbs intake, eat protein first, fiber and carb last, also exercise rigorously religiously everyday and IF. Thank you so much 💕

If you have stomach weight, you are insulin resistant. Prediabetics are insulin resistant. IF 16:8 without works, because it is working for me. Will it work for everyone,I don't know. Depends on your own system. Check with your dr.

After drinking apple cider vinegar, I have felt my blood has thinning. I have stopped it. Any remedy to use it? I just love my apple cider vinegar drinks😔

I am super overweight and after watching this video it gives me hope.

i dont feel to eat sugar no sugar cravings , not felling hungry for long hours after eating

Hi, what about people like me who are underweight and pre-diabetic. There's not much information for people who don't have want to lose more weight while dealing with insulin resistance

My mom is not statistically significant or peer reviewed but her experience has had real significance among her circle of friends and family. 2 years ago, my 80 year old mother finally had a follow up appointment with her physician which was delayed for months because her doctor has been in charge of treating Covid patients in the hospital and in nursing homes and was not able to meet with her. She had a full blood panel taken for this visit and her doctor was astounded at the progress she had made during the last year. She is now no longer diabetic and she was instructed to stop taking insulin after having been on it for 12 years. Her doctor also praised her kidney function which has never looked better. Also, she couldn't believe that her total cholesterol was only 139, with LDL of 67, HDL of 60, and triglycerides of 82 which is a big improvement for her. According to the Framingham Heart Study, these numbers mean that she is virtually "heart attack proof" as many plant based doctors have noted. Her physician mentioned that she is reconsidering the diet for her family based on this experience. She also asked my mom to share her experience with our community after the pandemic. All of these results are exactly what I had hoped would occur. Here is the menu that I had developed for her to try to mimic what she was used to eating -> "GSP Mother's Menu" - While this menu is not a pure whole foods plant based diet, it appears to be health promoting enough to work for her. My understanding is that low carb diets are a workaround that do not address the root cause of diabetes which is excess intramyocellular lipids and the resulting insulin resistance (excess saturated fats and refined sugar/flour are the most common cause of this metabolic system failure). Cheers!

What do you about the correlation between pre/diabetes/ insulin resisrtance and the function of kidneys? I wonder if the kidneys recover as well. Thank you.

I need your help I eat four pieces of pizza and then an hour I fall asleep what is that called insulin sensitive

My waist has shrunk! I now have to roll the tops of my shorts over so they don't fall down. Also, I can no longer have my phone in my thigh pocket for the same reason. My sugar cravings are in my mouth. Lol! I just love candy and ice cream. Period. Don't crave them, just desire them.🍦🍬

Great video thanks Kait 😃

Hi Kait, your videos are super helpful. I have followed your advice on ACV (at night only), Berberine supplement (1-2x day before or right after meals), restricting carbs to 80g/day and doing 10mins of body weights or 30min brisk walking (as my schedule allows) and I noticed my waist shrinking (down 1inch), and weight loss of 7lbs over 3.5 months. However, my menstrual cycles are fluctuating, last one was 20 days apart and prior to that 50days apart. Why would that happen? Shouldn’t we expect to normalize in 28-35day range? My cycles were typically 30-32 days apart before I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism which later developed into PCOS (my markers being irregular periods, facial hair and acne).

Your square space advertisement is longer than the information in the video.

Doing well on 5/6 but can’t get past the sugar cravings. Ideas anyone?

I've spent the last over year and a half making changes to fix my hoshimotoes which caused my insulin resistance. I'm a 35 f. My periods were very painful, suoer heavy bleeding, and a bit inconsistent. I have hypoglycemia, I have weight probs, etc. I do check the scale, and don't use a measuring tape to measure my waist because I have no clue how to. I do know that I'm constantly having to take in shirts and pants, and it looks like I might have to get my bra size measured and buy new bras. I've lost enough gat that the circumference bands on my bras are not supporting right anymore, and I'm not sure if my I cup boobs have gone down a bit or not. Being part of the big titty committee, I'm not gonna likeky end up smaller than a d cup. And in all honesty, my boobs shrinking a bit would be nice since I have back pain. Big boobs plus back injury plus chronic pack pain is not a fun combo pack. My weight was so bad I definately had a sway back. It's, straightening which also helps my back pain. I started keto and intermittent fasting Jan this year, spent a year weaning down to that. My start carb limit was 50 g net, current is 35. My start fadt window was 12, current is 15. My start weight was over 250 pounds, probably more like 260-270. Healthy weight would be a max of 130. My logged weigh in yesterday pegged me at 189.1. So not too bad. I do track cals and macros as well as journal my intake. This is to show my dietician and to help me meal plan better. I know it's a bit obsessive, but I have bad habits of stress and overeating. Plus, I'm a junk food junkie. I like to treat myself, but I want to regulate myself better and rralky train myself to do healthy habits. I will say I rarely crave sugar anymore. I rarels crave complex carbs. I'm not hungry for more than 2 meals max. And I'm often more thirsty than hungry. I don't get super hungry while fasting until I'm about to fix food. It's not super consitiant signs but it's definately noticable and I'm quite happy.

Oh my goodness, I was wondering why I just started developing small skin tags under my armpit area. Uggghhhhh

Is there a way to differentiate between IR sugar cravings and psychologically driven sugar cravings?

Sad..there are no chapters and no one has made a list here in comments too

Also, your blue label said testosterone decreasing is a sign IR is decreasing but you said it should go up.

I started keto and intermittent fasting in March of this year and by May I had lost close to 30lbs. I had blood work done and in May and my triglycerides were through the roof and my good cholesterol was low. I was told to eat more plant based but I find I eat more carbs and not enough protein now. I haven't gained any weight back but haven't lost anymore either. I had blood work done again recently and my triglycerides are improving. I hope this means I'm reversing something. I definitely have insulin resistance and have high testosterone levels.

Just found out i have insulin resistance and am so excited to start my journey/new lifestyle and diet changes. I am curious though.. what happens after its been reversed? I only see people talking about how to reverse it, and how to know when its recersing.. but what about after its been reversed?

I can fast from 5p till 11a each day. Could u please help me with what i can eat.from 11am till 5p.so i can conquer this.i have survived breast cancer.i can do this.

I was able to lose weight even with super high blood glucose levels by adding a mile walk in daily. How much does exercise like walking count towards improvement of insulin resistance? Was it improving even though I wasn't giving my body a chance to catch up?

Thanks for the great videos Kait! I'm just starting out on a ketovore diet after being diagnosed with insulin resistance. I'm curious if skin tags will disappear eventually?

Wow I love your videos they r all helpful! I am wondering what you think about psyllium husk

😉☕👍 Thanks for the great info

Does Metformin use cause kidney or liver damage as its used long term.

I’ve been eating mainly Keto for the last 10 months, also, I do intermittent fasting and I only have 2 meals per day with no snaking inbetween. I hardly have the desire to snack and I feel full after meals however, I have stubborn belly fat and I haven’t seen any difference with reduced fat in that area. I’m confused if I am still insulin resistant? I guess the only way to know for sure is having it tested.

mam i became insulin resistant and my glucose level raised slightly above normal . i cycled for a month i was 84 kgs and now it came to 78 kgs and waist size reduced to 38 inches .is my insulin resistance is reversing

I always refer back to your hour timeline of fasting benefits, autophagy and hgh production. Got several vitamin supplements, and finally don’t have 24/7 hunger problems. Short bowel syndrome i sliced +-20ft of intestines out in a motorcycle wreck. Cutting processed carbs and sugar has made a world of difference in feeling health wellness and wellbeing, however its hard to do keto because i think i absorb fat deficiently. Question, would collagen with vitamins in the morning “break my fast” in the hour timeine toward autophagy and fasting benefits?

Hi Kait Just wanted to tell you you're a very beautiful woman and anyone who says otherwise is not worth listening to. I love your channel and lm greatful for the advice and tips you have provided me. You're the best 👌

Why don't you just ask your doctor to also get your HOMA idea measured the next time you get your blood values. That costs typically extra 10 bucks.

Is we eat carbs after reverse prediabetes

Have a question. What can I use to sweeten my tea a little? It’s not very good without any sweetener. I currently use coconut sugar . I do believe I am insulin resistant and trying to lose weight

Welcome Back Home 🙃

Thank you for your channel, learning lots. I’m sure you’ve read read book on this subject but if you yet read Dr Benjamin Bikman’s book Why We Get Sick. Keep up the great work.

Nothing linked above.

I sleep better now, don't need to hit the snooze button 10 times.

Isn't an HOMA-IR test considerably less expensive than the test you mentioned near the end of this video?

No change in my menstrual cycle LOL

So I had 0.2 in that Blood code test... I guess that's really good then? It's not even on the range :O

I am 60year my fasting 133mg/dl and 201mg/dl random i am not crazy of eating. I am eating 2 to 3 time a day. Please help me

Hi I am trying low carbs and intermittent fasting. I see lot software benifits however from last few days my fasting sugar level is 5.3 When i started it 2 months ago my fasting sugar was in random numbers between 4.7 and 6.2 but now I feel it's constant between 5.2 and 5.3 I want to bring it down in 4s . Any idea why mine is now constant?

My triglycerides 0.87mmol/l and HDL 4.5mmol/l. Triglycerides ratio to HDL is 0.19 your comment is have highly appreciated.

i have insuline resistance, ibs and high cortisol but I don't know what to do... everybody tells something els about the dieet. i don't know if I should intermitted fast or eat within an hour of waking up... i don't know if I can or cannot eat fruit, meat,legumes etc.... i am so lost!

Love pickles and pickle juice

Do you have an email address or website where I can write to you? I have no social media. I have no sugar cravings. I seldom am hungry. I eat little portions. Fish, eggs, and chicken only, fresh salads, no rice, a complex carb (potato) a couple of times a week in small portions, I eat dark chocolate. Yet I have this fat around my waist which has never been there before. I eat no cakes nor sweet stuff. Avocados, oatmeal... why is this happening? I am at 132 and must go down to 125 .. lost 5 pounds already. How can you answer me if you have no email address? Do you have a website like other folks do? I just subscribed to your channel hoping to find answers. Thanks!

Kait you’re from Australia but you don’t have an accent where are you originally from America?

I suspect I'm insulin resistant.

Can you experience diarrhea?

😍

#5 testosterone decreases is a sign that you're reversing insulin resistance. Are you speaking to women because that's not a good sign for men?

I don't like promotional talk 2 times in single video

🆒️🆒️🆒️🆒️

Kait is looking bloated

1st 3 minutes don’t watch its time wasted

You mean testosterone INCREASES.. not decreases.
