I am just a mess. My 50th Birthday is Nov 21. I have always had a small waist and when I felt to heavy the weight just fell off. I no longer get a period. Now I feel like if I go on a diet, i will guarantee to gain weight. It seems to settle in my belly where it never has before. Right now I am the heaviest I have EVER been.......EVEN PREGNANT.! !!! I am so embarrassed. Sorry to take up your time. Thanx for letting me cry on your shoulder. Much 💞 and more 🍀
*My daughter drinks lots of water and urinates with the same rate, there are no other symptoms to show if those have anything to do with diabetes. This is a good information that I have gone through **Diabets.Care** She is 2 years 9 months, hale and healthy, have not done any blood test. But I am not certain if one can get diabetes at such a tender age. Please I will like to know more on that*
2 and 3 year olds can most certainly get diabetes - type 1 diabetes, which is the autoimmune version of the disease. If your child is drinking and peeing excessively, please have her checked by a doctor. My son was diagnosed at 3 years old, also looking and acting perfectly healthy - other than being incredibly thirsty and peeing all the time. He started bedwetting after being weaned etc. Please check if at all unsure!
Diagnosed with type 2 diabetes in 1998 insulin dependent for over 15 years. Took control by diet change, weight loss and discipline. Doctor took me off insulin in 2012 and I remain non insulin dependent in 2021. A1C less than 7 Not easy but necessary. I'm determined, by the way I just turned 70 on New Year Eve 2020.
Exactly the same for me! I was always a breakfast-skipper but people nagged me to death about. When I started eating breakfast that's when most of my problems started. Now I'm back to skipping breakfast & practicing intermittent fasting. No snacking. It works.
@@gigistarlings2729 hi gigi, do u have diabetes? If so, has intermittent fasting. Helped you? I've been told about fasting and Ive always thought that with diabetes u have to eat at a certain schedule and snack small throughout the day... Please let me know. Thank you!
@@pandulce579 No, I do not officially have Diabetes. I have insulin resistance and have been “borderline” for many years. Almost everyone in my family gets Type 2 Diabetes at some point, and I am trying hard to avoid it. Must try harder since last A1C was 6.4. Need consistent exercise but Fibromyalgia and arthritis make it difficult.
(For me) Yes 1. Abdominal fat Yes 2. swollen ankles Sometimes 3. hunger after eating Sometimes 4. sugar cravings A little 5. dark skin patches No 6. frequent urination No 7. extreme thirst Yes 8. irregular menstrual cycle Like 1 tag 9. skin tags No 10. elevated blood sugar
Why aren’t doctors telling us this!?! I’ve been fighting with my weight, heavy periods, extreme tiredness after eating, frequent urination, and skin tags my whole life! Thank u for posting this info
They get taught and indoctrinated in university. It's not necessarily their fault but the system. Furthermore they get fed with the idea of science but the institutions hide the research. My daughter is a doctor and I can honestly say it's not that simple. She really believes what she believes. They wake up when they start having the symptoms and issues themselves. I was at a really good doctor here in SA ( now practicing in usa or Canada) with heart pains. He put me on strong pain killers. Only now ten years afterwards I found out that I have a soy allergy which makes me short of breath which affects my heart. Now soy free and heart pain free.
I have PCOS, and I’ve already lost 45lbs and lowered my blood pressure back down to healthy by doing a low carb diet and intermittent fasting. Thanks for sharing good information. 😊😊
That's encouraging to hear, well done! I have PCOS too and I've recently been put on high blood pressure medication. I've never had issues with this before, however my weight has crept up and up over the years so it's down to that, I am the heaviest I've ever been and it sucks!
Insulin resistance is REAL. I was diagnosed as a type II diabetic a year ago. I started fasting and following a low carb high fat diet. My elevated sugars were under control in 2 weeks! I am no longer considered diabetic, my high blood pressure is gone, my swollen ankles are gone, I don't pee every hour! So thankful for you tubers like you that share such GOOD information.
What is frequent urination? I urinate three times a night and often have a period when I don't, until I eat in th e afternoon, adding up to about 6 or 7 times in 24 hrs. I thought that was insanely frequent, as I never counted before.
I thought I was going to the bathroom often because I drink so much water...but I can see I am extra thirsty...I am struggling to lose weight as I have been exercising and intermittent fasting and no results at all😕 now I get it.
Cut the fructose addiction, do Keto and intermittent fasting alongside vitamins , minerals and natural herbs and you will reverse it in a few weeks or so.
@@samanthahi4541 you don't have to eat low carb forever. But if you go back to the diet that caused your IR in the first place of course it is going to happen again. Once you reverse it stick to whole foods 👍
@@samanthahi4541 if you eat pretty good like plenty of veggies, fruits, grains, and know what you are eating, you don't really need to care about low carb after fixing your insulin resistance. Just make sure it's not simple carbs, but complex carbs.
You're the first person to mention the dark skin, which I had under both of my cheeks for a long time. Now that I have been doing Keto for a year and lost 50lbs, the dark gray cheeks are gone. Thanks for all you do Kait!
@@fxmcreations1209 i am still doing keto now. I am not going back to sugar. I walk and bike and do some resistance training. But i need to do more weights. But i am in better shape at 60 than i was at 30 by a long shot.
@@deckarddwizardd1909 I don't believe my armpits were dark, but definitely on my face, which disappeared with Keto. Skin tags will stop forming as well.
Insulin resistance was caused by the FDA. Any time rats are fed a diet inclusive of high fructose combined with hydrogenated fats they become insulin resistant. The FDA allowed manufacturers to use high fructose and hydrogenated fats/oils because these ingredients are cheap. These foods never satisfy us, so we eat more and more.
Oh hun 🙁 literally watching you for the first time & I never even noticed until ur msg popped up, to busy listening to your great advice ( I think I may be insulin resistant due to my extreme lack of sleep …. Or maybe I’m just old 🤣🤣) Take no notice of the nit pickers you’re beautiful and intelligent … a big threat to most!!!! I shall be checking out the rest of your videos and thank you for the insights.
@@barefootcontessa3112 haha I have got a few comments from people telling me my eyebrows were too distracting and they couldn't watch 😂 It's all good, not actually offended I just think it's funny. Thank you for your kind words 😘 Sleep is definitely very important! I have another video that goes more into how a lack for sleep impacts out hormones and can lead to weight gain which you might find helpful ruclips.net/video/tDP6f11YGsM/видео.html
@@Amy-wu4sr you miss the point of my post lol. I just don’t understand those that have to be negative when there is nothing to thumbs down about this RUclips video. I think they are just trolls that like putting the thumbs down.
Can people stop being stupid. Who cares about how she looks. I don’t like thick eyebrows because it takes a special person to pull them off, and I think she looks good on them. Stop being judgmental that’s not important. She is giving you advised for your future health.
Wow, I've had type 2 diabetes for 10 years and no doctors or dieticians ever told me this information. I learned more in this 10 minute video than in the last 10 years. Now I understand why I can't get my A1C below 7.1 - all those little snacks are probably the worst thing I could have done. I'm so glad I watched this video, thanks for posting this helpful information.
I have also had T2 for ten years and no medic told me that it could be reversed. I also used to snack a lot. I found out about weight loss and intermittent fasting a few months ago and as a result I have reduced my fasting glucose to 6.1 mmol (normal is below 5.5) and I am on course to get it to normal in a few weeks. I will still have some insulin resistance, but I think I can fix that as well if I keep going.
I guess the takeaway is doctors will try to fix you after you break, but they won't help you at all to avoid getting there. Most doctors have very little professional training in nutrition. My doctor ran and ate granola (the worst) until he got prancreatic cancer and checked out. Their general lack of knowledge of nutrition today is a true crime and black stain upon the entire validity of the medical profession.
I wish I had known some of this back 30 years ago. Doctors don't really know how to talk to patients and inform them of their options and symptoms. Doctors just go by the numbers (cholesterol, blood sugar, triglycerides, etc.). I have had skin tags for years. Never has a doctor told me why I have them, and I have asked. And never did a Doctor tell me my abdominal fat was due to insulin resistance. It was always, "well some people have a higher/lower metabolism" type of answer.
I find that hard to imagine.I have tons of skin tags and it is either burn them off or cut them off! Are you stating that you changed your diet and they just fell off???
I lost mine and the dark marks under my arms(I've had them since I was 7) in days after going on keto! But what sucks is it turns out the illness I tried to correct with keto was that my gallbladder died...
That would explain why my skin tags disappeared..I had them all over my neck, and chest. I did keto for about 3 months, but didn't think there was a connection, or noticed when exactly they disappeared, until I did...Huh..Now I know why.
I have changed my diet at 57, lost 25 lbs and take junior ASA and ozempic 5mg per week and feel great and sleep well, I am a heart attack survivor and have turned things around for the better! Thanks Kait for your helpful information, learning goes along with health!!!
Looking back i had a lot of the signs you mention in your video. I had gestational diabetes with both my pregnancies and really struggled losing weight after my last pregnancy. I started on the ketogenic diet/ working out 3 days a week, I managed to drop 30 lbs in two years. But totally plateaued after that initial loss. I spent the following year trying to figure out why I wasn't able to lose any more weight. Finally i consulted with a naturopathic doctor who suggested I added fasting to my lifestyle. First I did 16:8 then gradually shifted to omad. This was like magic to my body. After three years of struggling I finally started to lose the weight. I averaged about 1 pound a week and now I'm almost back to my pre-pregnancy weight!
@@balla2828 So i think it has to do with the glucose already stored in your body, so even if you stop carbs, and you start fasting or exercising, your body still needs some form of energy to function (otherwise you'd probably die in your sleep or pass out during a run)so your body is now tapping into its stored bank to use all the glucose stored and because of this the insulin kicks up as well again. i know it sounds annoying but Jason fung here on youtube explained this is not necessarily bad because well...its about time we lose some of that excess stored glucose and fat. I think its just a phase as your new journey begins to insulin sensitivity starts. Things will even out. Watch Jason Fung he explains this very well.
40 years old and just recently diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. The lifestyle disease. Thank you so much for sharing this video! Very helpful and informative!
I was gaining a lot of weight and I was way hungrier than I'd ever been, abdominal fat, etc. even though I was exercising and trying to lose weight. I stopped eating sugar including fruit and it's been a month and I've already lost a good amount of weight including in my abdomen and my hunger is finally back to how it was when I was thinner. I get full when I eat again and I don't want to eat for a while afterward. All I did was stop eating sugary foods including fruit and I don't eat at night and I feel so much better and I'm finally losing weight. It's so much easier than anything I've ever tried and it works.
Great video! I am a type 1 diabetic, diagnosed at 41 (long story) but legit traditional “juvenile” diabetes. Maintaining ketosis is super challenging. Stress can seriously impact my blood sugar and pull me right out.
😯 what a great video this was that just showed up on RUclips for me! Kait, you did an awesome job explaining all aspects comprehensively in this short video.👏🏽 ❤️ This video guided me and I will follow your advice. Thanks!
Doctors (MDs) have failed me at every turn. Surgeons, pain specialists (needed due to malpractice) even dentists. A retired doctor told me once "If you want to be healthy, stay away from doctors as much as possible".
@@ursamagickmt672 lol well thank God I always hated doctors and hospitals then. Never liked them. Cold unwelcoming environments. Wait for hours and pay through the nose.
Thanks so much for posting this!! Reminds me to get back on track. Keto kept me off of Metformin. I’ve been off track and all the symptoms are back. Time to get back to it!! God bless you.
Really informative! under 50g of carbs/day is really hard tho, one must be motivated but eh, it will be worth it if it can reverse your insulin resistance
Im about to cry.... I stumbled into this video, scrolling across YT... I have been dealing with my weight for so many years now. It doesn't matter how often I tried to reduce it, I lost some water but thats it. I have 8 of the 9 symptoms. I will make an appointment right next week. If this is really my problem... I will feel so released cause then I finally know how to change my life. Thank you so much for posting this!!!
Also, there is a condition that makes it almost impossible to lose weight. It's called Lipedema. You should review the information on that. The symptoms are similar to IR but not related to IR.
Kait is 100% correct here, Rebecca. I suggest also some of the other Keto channels. They are presenting the true science of nutrition. Be aware that the SAD diet is dangerously unhealthy, and exists only to sell bulk chemical factory generated and processed food "products". Eating fat doesn't make you fat, eating bulk carbohydrates does. they DO feed bulk grains (carbohydrates) to cattle, to fatten them up for market. The food and drug mega-corporations spend many billions of dollars on promotion, misinformation and bribery to sell their health damaging products. There are people online paid to misinform and mislead. If they teach and preach low-fat for instance, you can be sure that they've been misled or are seeking to mislead. It's so sad that such behavior is not easily criminally chargeable. My favorite Keto channels include Dr Eric Berg, and Dr Sten Ekberg. Hope this helps.
@Homos R Perverts Against Nature you are very wrong with that. I live keto since 2 years and nothing helped me more than that. Your comment is absolutly disqualifying for everyone that suffers under their weight. Its the carbs and white sugar that is bad, not the good fats. But who am i talking to.... your homophobic nickname gives already away what kind of person you are. Keep judging. You will be judged by god later. Have a good day.
@@amisoftau2659 thank you dear. Im already on ketogenic lifestyle since 2019. On and off i gotta admit tho. But once i fall into ketosis i feel amazing. I still have some symptoms that makes my life harder. And only the keto diet doesnt fix that. I need to look further into it. And thats why i am so thankful for this video. If i go to the docs they simply tell me that im fat and should do a diet... that im on keto since 2 years and lost weight - they dont care. Its more that im stuck after loosing water. Which frustrates me. My body is a rebel and it is on a strike haha. I have 8 of the 9 symptoms in this video and 4 of them significantly strong in appearance. Additional i have a very very hard hairloss since about 6 months Which will end in a bald head if it keeps going on like this. But still doctors told me "you are just fat, nothing else" - I never heard that beeing fat makes you loose hair, sleepless, having periods once every 3 months and so on. I knew it was something else that also had to be going on. Cause even that i changed to keto - those things didnt change, some got even worse.
My blood sugar is high - I found out when my Doctor ordered a fasting glucose test. Now on blood sugar meds, Metformin, my energy is more steady, and I’m finally losing weight in my stomach. I could not figure out why I wasn’t losing weight while exercising daily and eating a healthy diet. It really is that important.
Maybe cause your healthy diet is 4000 calories a day. They did not tell you this cause they wanted to sell you a medicine. They wont make money on telling you to fast or eat 1200 calories a day
@@Itachii0707 , are you a medical professional or a scientist? Why are you giving medical advice to strangers on the internet? Metformin is necessary for some people who would be diabetic af otherwise and wold risk impairing their vision or losing a part of their limb.
My intuition is (I am not a medical professional) that it might be helpful to check with several sources and at least two dietitians/nutritionists if your diet really is healthy in terms of diabetis prevention or is it only a bit healthier than your peers' diet or the mainstream diet in your country (especially if you live in the USA). I thought for the longest time my diet wasn't that bad but now, after my insulin resistance diagnosis and some self-education, I realise I still ate far too much high-GI products. In my country, people eat tons of bread and tons of potatoes, for example. Hardly anybody would consider it unhealthy because it's so mainstream and part of the culture. "Normal" and "harmful" don't go together, right? ... Right!? ;)
WOW..I am 51 been having these issues for 10 years, General physician, Endocrinologist never used the word Insulin resistance, today you just made me cognizant to a problem, your explanation made me realize the real problem and how to solve it. Words cant express how grateful I am for this and you taking the time to do it, your saving lives I hope you know that.
After seeing this video I think I might be insulin resistant because I have PCOS and many of the symptoms. Dieting and working out only made me lose water weight also. I’m going take these tips
I am def insulin resistant!!I had reflux so bad too!! I started cutting out sugar n carbs...eat mostly meat, eggs n bacon, some cheese...7 of these went away with in a few weeks. Several skin tags fell off ON THEIR OWN!! SO awesome. My energy is through the roof (after the inital 6 weeks) and I feel amazing. My blood sugar, blood pressure etc tests are perfect...I am 58 yr old woman
Im 58 too and although i eat a lot less than before the 50s, my weight is slowly going up :( almost 69 kg... Im afraid of eating so much animal proteins as i also have high cholesterol...
It was a fluke I landed on this video, but you have given me answers to what my GP hasn't been able to for decades, despite chasing him up on it over and over.
She's a good teacher. Pleasant, pretty informative sharing a preset manageable amount of information. I'm guessing she probably was either a Sunday school teacher or majored in education in college.
As to the low class comment about eyebrows: Big people talk about ideas that help others (you) ...... Average people talk about things (most people) and little small people talk about other people (the jerks).
Omg I didn't even know this is a thing. I just naturally discovered that eating less carbs helps my metabolism, after so many failed dieting attempts this was the only thing that worked for me. I started eating all types of meat and vegetables and I started losing weight without even exercising which was mind-blowing to me, especially because I ate same size portions like I did before, when I was gaining weight. I am never again relying on carbs as my energy source.

How ppl get pcos ..these type of problems were not before but now every second girl goes with these problem in her day to day life..I want to know the cause of it ..n why ppl get diabetic n cancer a major problem ..can someone explain me the reason of it ..
Ranbir Singh high insulin is the root cause of PCOS. High insulin blocks the ovaries from converting testosterone to estrogen, so you don't menstruate and the eggs become cysts. Testosterone remains high as a result leading to side effects such as acne and excess hair growth. Address insulin resistance and we address PCOS. I have a video coming next week 🙏
I got diagnosed with insulin resistance a month ago but have been having the symptoms for years. My doctors tested me multiple times and said I wasn't. Now I'm taking Ozempic and it's helped so much. I'm losing weight so much easier now.
This makes sense. I show a few of these signs. I've noticed High Fructose Syrup makes me hungry. When I eliminate the syrups esp., high fructose I'm not as hungry though out the day. And soft drinks make me more thirsty and pee more. I'm 90% done with both of those and feeling better. Your video is eye opening. Thank you.
Whole Foods is the key. Nothing in a bag, in a box or in a can (unless it’s canned vegetables, but cook them yourself). Just food from the perimeter of the supermarket.
I suffer with this and my doctor put me on the keto diet. I've been on it for 3 weeks and can feel the difference. If you are suffering with it and decide to change things the side effects of changing your diet suck. Head aches. What I like to call non pregnancy morning sickness, tired all the time. If you suffer with the symptoms ask for a blood test. Great video. Not many people know and just think its normal. Since doing it I've lots 25lbs.
I solved this insulin resistance syndrome by FASTING ! I do only one meal a day and that is lunch.Eat plenty of greens, some protein and some vegetables. Avoid bread and carbs at all times. Don’t drink alcohol of any type. I lost 20lbs in 18 days. Best decision in my whole life.. allow my self one day off every -5 days to have wine, martinis and a few snacks. Next day back to the one meal a day routine. Me diabetes T2 is gone. I feel pretty, I feel happy, I feel pretty and happy and gay! !!
I completely agree with your approach. I use Alternate Day Fasting and I have lost 53 Lbs. I never felt so good. I get sloppy with the number of carbs and the fasting compensates for my sloppy efforts. I wish you well with this lifestyle, I only wish I found this lifestyle sooner. Take care.
tell about your diet to a real doctor and they'll call you crazy. one meal? Avoid carbs? What an idiot. Also, do you even have proof that you had the syndrome in the first place and that it's gone? Did you do the tests? Don't mislead people, they're gonna ruin their health because of you.
@Hineni John3:16 The ADF is a very common approach to body repairing. I did not just jump into ADF. I progressed into it. I started out with Atkins then went Keto. Saw how to eat healthy. The importance of high fat and low carb. Eating fat and not eating lean helps us to not be hungry there is a hormone that makes you not hungry. Then I went to intermittent fasting then progressed to ADF. I never felt so good. Attacking the insulin resistance feels so good. I wish you well.
Chocolate muffin . You obviously don’t realise the huge amount of science over many years behind fasting...it sounds like this is the first thing you’ve read. She doesn’t mean you eat one meal a day for the rest of your life! We’re talking here about reversing Insulin resistance which you obviously don’t understand to be so nasty. Regarding asking a Doctor, this is also a very ignorant statement. You obviously don’t know that generally Doctors get no training in nutrition or this subject of the benefits of fasting, they generally don’t know more than the general public unless they take a special interest in the subject. In fact I was recently amazed by how fantastic my GP looked after she’d been practising Intermittent fasting for 3 months so she obviously had an interest, did her research and was very pleased with the stunning results. If you want to educate yourself one source of many is research Doctor Micheal Moseley. This is where my GP learned the science behind intermittent fasting.
Clear and concise, just like the other one I saw. Dr Zyrowski could learn something from you. Also, you are the only one to point out bad sleep as a cause of IR.Thanks, have subscribed now.
The hardest part about frequent urination is the healthy amount of water that needs to be consumed will make you urinate frequently. Thank you so much for this video it has helped me understand that all those are connected.
So true. You cant win on this one. On a hot day and I have to be out all day on buses running here and there, I do not drink at all because having to find a toilet every hour is way to stressful. So I become dehydrated and that leads to other problems.
Needed this! I have brown patches on my inner thighs, been carnivore since January if this year, before I was a high carb vegan. Praying that I can heal quickly. Love your channel, thank you.💜
Higher blood pressure is another symptom, high LdL cholesterol, liver enzymes and water retention in general. Blood sugar also goes up when you have flu. And then there is the dawn syndrome. I went to doctors over the years with clear symptoms and they kept saying that nothing is wrong with me. Thanks. I ended up with insulin resistance. I reversed the condition and my blood sugar went up again due to stress, but I won't give up.
Triglyceride to HDL ratio is a better indicator of insulin resistance (and heart disease) than high LDL alone. High LDL seems to be benign if trigs are low and HDL is high ruclips.net/video/w9A7_8OJq6k/видео.html
I guess what he meant is that once you have insulin resistance, you will always have the tendency in you. If we go back to eating a diet high in refined carbs and sugars, our blood sugar will rise again. It is not a one-time solution but now a chronic issue to be managed for our lifetimes.
Hi! Thank You for making videos for the public. I have PCOS but have never been close to diabetic. I never tested positive on my three gestational diabetic testing (even though I more than doubled in weight all three pregnancies) and when my doctor checked me randomly I was constantly in the low side. After a hospital stay where they starved me abs only fed me through an IV with liquids, antibiotics and prednisone. When I got out after five days I had lost 15 pounds and I was already skinny when I was admitted (Crohn’s flare up and bacterial infection). I was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s a couple of years back after gaining 40 pounds in three weeks abs testing. I’m on medications for my thyroid and when I got out from the hospital the sane thing happened to me again, gained a ton of weight in only a few weeks. I thought it was my thyroid but the doctor didn’t think so. This was September of last year abd ever since I have been extremely fatigued and so tired neither my body or brain functions like it used to. I have a lot of pain too and are often stuck in bed. During a check up my glucose level was 240. This was after my scoliosis and the nerve damage caused me to be bedridden for weeks and I had to resolve to 30 mg of prednisone per day. I received help from a dietitian and my doctor diagnosed me with steroid induced diabetes. I had to watch every carb for a couple of months but it was difficult being a vegetarian, almost vegan and also being on a low fiber diet due to Crohn’s. I continued to eat berries daily. My blood sugar went down and now that the prednisone is out of my body so is the diabetes. But what I realized after a lot of research is that being on a high protein, low carb diet that’s often high in fat is not a good way to live. We actually do need carbs (like my berries) for healthy antioxidants. Eating a keto type diet does not cure the disease, it only masks it. What everyone needs to learn is to eat “lagom” on everything with a variation of healthy foods (lagom is a Swedish word that means “just enough” basically). In my case my insulin resistance was not preventable as You said. It was not caused by poor diet or a lack of healthy living. It was a response to many auto immune diseases, prednisone and an incredible amount of stress on my body during a short period of time. I am not writing this to argue with what You said, but simply give You another scenario and patient to look at. My doctors and dietician agrees with my views on the “lagom” diet that includes healthy carbs and avoids too much similar unhealthy fat. I hope You May want to take this into consideration and I am open to answer any questions You may have. Sincerely, M.
Thanks for sharing this because I've been on the Keto diet for months and have not lost any weight. Im trying to listen to my body and am going to switch to low carb and low fat and see if that helps.
I have a pot belly and edema in my feet start eating more vegetables cut down on the spaghetti the pasta the pastries and sugar I want to thank you for sharing and careing 😀
Wow, this is eye opening!!!! I had all of these symptoms and I had bariatric surgery four years ago. Today, I weigh under 110 pounds and I am no longer pre-diabetic or have to take medication for high cholesterol, depression, or high blood pressure. I am the healthiest I have ever been, but I still suffer from swollen ankles, skin discoloration, and skin tags. Very informative video!!!!
For better sleep make sure you are getting enough potassium and magnesium each day. Drink enough water, remember your body needs enough electrolytes to function properly.
I am insulin resistant and have PCOS. But my doctor's are appalled on how all my levels (blood sugar, blood pressure and cholesterol) are at perfect levels.
Same!!! I'm glad I'm not the only one. I recently transferred to a new doctor that actually listened to me and didn't just give me the "you're just fat and you need to workout and eat less" when I had been doing that for years. We just finished a month's worth of blood testing and I couldn't be more happy to have someone realize it's a symptom too. 😭
Please take charge over your health, you don't want to be diabetic. My A1c was at 14 I could have died. I got my health back to normal with keto diet. You still need to eat a very little of carbs so you don't get tired, research it.
Eliminate vegetable oils (also found in almost all restaurant food). It's the source of the problem. Watch "Dr. Chris Knobbe - 'Diseases of Civilization: Are Seed Oil Excesses the Unifying Mechanism?'" on RUclips ruclips.net/video/7kGnfXXIKZM/видео.html
Definitely insulin resistant. I remember feeling such shame for being hungry after I just finished eating! That’s before I knew anything about carb addiction! It has been a life long struggle, I’ve had freedom from it all for 3 years now! Keto and Carnivore are the way 100%!
I love meat but never heard about the Carnivore diet. I've tried keto 3x with 3 kinds of keto pills. I found keeping carbs under 50 grams a day really hard. I haven't had bread in a year but I'm a total sugar addict. Which I never was until 5 years ago when I entered the hospital, Nursing home. Help,advice please.
I am 52 been dealing with menopause for 2 years and due to that and age and having a hard time getting around due to health issues I have gained over 70 pounds in a year and now tipping the scale at almost 300 and my stomach is 3 times the size it was and my ankles stay swollen and I can't lose weight or get rid of my stomach no matter what I do
I've been taking a more serious stance of learning about my insulin resistance related to my PCOS and also just eating healthy foods and I found a lot of success with eating a produce Rich diet that is low in processed food
I have 5-6 of these symptoms been trying to loose weight after putting on a load over lockdown, now working night or evening shifts. Looks like keto and job hunting are the way forward for me. I hate what the governments done to us over the last year 18months.
I always figured my excess tummy fat was a permanent side effect from having four children. And I believed skin tags were somehow genetic bc my mom's family has had them. I'll be mentioning some of these things to my doctor at my next appointment. Thank you.
It doesn't mean your doctor will agree. I have read about the link between the skin tags on the neck and insulin resistance, and talked about this to my doctor and she said that it had no link. But as I like to check for myself, I went to pubmed and found studies linking both. So they don't know everything. And yes, in my country, nutrition is an opcional subject in the medical degree. It's ridiculous...
If you get high blood sugar they'll just throw you on pills. Eat low carb, intermittent fast and fo what you can to lose weight. That will actually help you not pills.
What I've considered with things that "run in the family" is this.... Your diet is handed down from your family typically. *Secret family recipes* and all. Just a thought that occurred to me a while back.
Low carb use natural fats like coconut oil and olive oil in diet. Eat maybe twice a day in a span of 8 hours. I'll give this a shot. But I want to find ways to measure my carb intake and quantify my calorie intake. Need more numbers to back up what I'm doing.
I have never been diagnosed but I believe I may have had hypoglycemia as a young adult. I came from a family in love with sugar. I would wake up in the middle of the night shaking and would be sick, ya know, puking. Yet, so hungry. Terrible. Scared me away from eating sweets for good. I experienced this in adulthood a few times when I would not pay attention to what I was eating (sugar is everywhere) but it wakes me up quickly before I come to the point of being sick. 😱 Beef is now my main food, along with chicken, bison, eggs and fish. With a lot of butter.
After my covid vaccines I was running a fever and until I fully recovered my blood sugar was constantly elevated even after not eating for extended hours (16+ h) on a keto diet. It went back to normal after all my symptoms disappeared. I had a similar experience a few years ago while I had the flu.
Well I definitely have belly fat and I pee quite a bit but I drink a fair amount of water. Although since I started intermittent fasting, my thirst has gone down and I've lost body fat.... Just not around the belly as much as I'd like. Otherwise, I have no other symptoms.
Hm it might be worth getting tested to be sure! In this video I have a few ways to test at home + what tests to ask you doctor for ruclips.net/video/0-LRV-TnTzs/видео.html
From my experience, sugar and carbs were behind the same symptoms I had as you. I used to wake up tired. In just one week of cutting out all processed sugar and carbs (pasta, bread and potatoes) I felt amazing! - Stable energy throughout the day. - Reduced hunger and cravings. - Less irritable and way calmer than my sugar eating days. - And, I feel lighter and sleep like a baby. I've seen first hand that sugar is behind majority of the negative feelings our bodies experience. Try it for a week and notice the difference!
Haven't been formally diagnosed but noticed dark skin under breasts and hunger after finishing a meal. Have used IF and am using carnivorish diet and skin is looking better and less hungry if I focus on meat in my meals. Thanks for pointing these out.
I was diagnosed with pcos when I was younger and no one ever taught me about it. Now I get tested for diabetis every half year, because I have insulin resistance. And that's it. If it is not the diabetes yet, it seems to be not worth treating. Thank you for this video.
I had no idea I had PCOS until I started trying to get pregnant 4 years ago. Thinking back, I showed signs an high school (over 17 years ago) but the doctor’s answer was to throw me on birth control without any questions. I did need ovulation induction meds to have my sons, even after IF/keto, but I wished I knew all this sooner!
@@reni1076 Yeah same here. Have gotten the full program. Gaining weight, facial hair, hair loss and so on. My gynecologist back then just gave me birth control with a larger amount of estrogen and that was that. Now I live with the consequences.
I have pre diabetes. When my doctor told me she wasn’t concerned, gave wrong advice but ten years later I figured it out on my own and am on a keto diet.
So what does one do when they can’t eat fruits a d vegetables? I have stomach hypersensitivity and it’s painful if I eat fruits and vegetables unless just on occasion. I can’t eat nuts either.
@@patsyhodge9071 that doesn’t help with weight though, unfortunately. The only thing I could do is eat nothing but meat and steamed vegetables (I can eat them if they are cooked enough). What could I snack on other than meat and cooked vegetables that won’t make me gain weight?
I smell it. My cousin and my uncle have a particular smell like old books that i was getting to. So that was the sign i took serious to make some changes in my diet and habits
Good info! Not diagnosed with insulin resistance, but I have some of the symptoms. Did have severe insomnia for many years and that likely contributed. Working on getting healthier now, doing intermittent fasting, increasing healthy fats and reducing carbs.
You have no idea the relief I feel after watching this!! I have gone to so many doctors and this one video makes more sense to me than any of them ever did! Thank you sooooooo much!!!! 😭😭🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏♥️♥️♥️♥️
This video really helped explain to me my particular situation and why I have been having such a hard time with weight loss. I now know the proper steps to reversing this Insulin Resistance and hopefully it will result in some weight dropping for myself and being healthier overall. Thanks!!
I’ve been diagnosed insulin resistance for at least 10 years - and it’s been touted as a ‘possible’ reason for my inability to lose weight, but I’ve never been presented with any sort of solution. I followed a keto diet and had some success on that - but hubby got worried that it wasn’t a good idea long term so I stopped and have struggled to restart. Yet when I was on it, I found it easy and felt the best I had for years mentally. Haven’t had any periods for 20 yrs. I’m 53
Go back to Keto, or at least low carb, cut out all sugars. Processed foods, and simple carbs, rice, bread, pasta, use replacement like almond flour, coconut flour! You have to do this for your health please! Good luck.

I am just a mess. My 50th Birthday is Nov 21. I have always had a small waist and when I felt to heavy the weight just fell off. I no longer get a period. Now I feel like if I go on a diet, i will guarantee to gain weight. It seems to settle in my belly where it never has before.

*My daughter drinks lots of water and urinates with the same rate, there are no other symptoms to show if those have anything to do with diabetes. This is a good information that I have gone through **Diabets.Care** She is 2 years 9 months, hale and healthy, have not done any blood test. But I am not certain if one can get diabetes at such a tender age. Please I will like to know more on that*
None. The carbs in fruit are broken down into glucose (sugar) and raise blood sugar.
2 and 3 year olds can most certainly get diabetes - type 1 diabetes, which is the autoimmune version of the disease. If your child is drinking and peeing excessively, please have her checked by a doctor. My son was diagnosed at 3 years old, also looking and acting perfectly healthy - other than being incredibly thirsty and peeing all the time. He started bedwetting after being weaned etc. Please check if at all unsure!
She probably need minerals to keep the the water in the sistem.
Diagnosed with type 2 diabetes in 1998 insulin dependent for over 15 years. Took control by diet change, weight loss and discipline. Doctor took me off insulin in 2012 and I remain non insulin dependent in 2021. A1C less than 7
Not easy but necessary. I'm determined, by the way I just turned 70 on New Year Eve 2020.
That is amazing!

Good on you and thanks for the motivation!
And people think I’m crazy when I say I need to eat less often because when I do eat, it makes me more likely to eat more in the day
Exactly the same for me! I was always a breakfast-skipper but people nagged me to death about. When I started eating breakfast that's when most of my problems started. Now I'm back to skipping breakfast & practicing intermittent fasting. No snacking. It works.
because they wanted to promote breakfast trend to sell their crap cereals 😊
@@gigistarlings2729 hi gigi, do u have diabetes? If so, has intermittent fasting. Helped you? I've been told about fasting and Ive always thought that with diabetes u have to eat at a certain schedule and snack small throughout the day... Please let me know. Thank you!
@@pandulce579 No, I do not officially have Diabetes. I have insulin resistance and have been “borderline” for many years.

Why aren’t doctors telling us this!?! I’ve been fighting with my weight, heavy periods, extreme tiredness after eating, frequent urination, and skin tags my whole life! Thank u for posting this info
🙏🙏
Because doctors are hand in glove with big pharma. They want to pump us full of drugs, not heal us.
This is great advice.
Me to. 😞
They get taught and indoctrinated in university. It's not necessarily their fault but the system. Furthermore they get fed with the idea of science but the institutions hide the research. My daughter is a doctor and I can honestly say it's not that simple. She really believes what she believes. They wake up when they start having the symptoms and issues themselves. I was at a really good doctor here in SA ( now practicing in usa or Canada) with heart pains. He put me on strong pain killers. Only now ten years afterwards I found out that I have a soy allergy which makes me short of breath which affects my heart. Now soy free and heart pain free.
I have PCOS, and I’ve already lost 45lbs and lowered my blood pressure back down to healthy by doing a low carb diet and intermittent fasting. Thanks for sharing good information. 😊😊
Amazing! 👏 Keep it up!
That's encouraging to hear, well done! I have PCOS too and I've recently been put on high blood pressure medication. I've never had issues with this before, however my weight has crept up and up over the years so it's down to that, I am the heaviest I've ever been and it sucks!
I just posted a video that explains the link between PCOS and insulin resistance 🙂 ruclips.net/video/26_mLZbC23w/видео.html
Ok so THIS is why I am here. PCOS. I'm learning about ketosis and this video pops up. The more knowledge I can gain, the better.
Go girl! I have pcos, what a pain in the ass
Insulin resistance is REAL. I was diagnosed as a type II diabetic a year ago. I started fasting and following a low carb high fat diet. My elevated sugars were under control in 2 weeks! I am no longer considered diabetic, my high blood pressure is gone, my swollen ankles are gone, I don't pee every hour! So thankful for you tubers like you that share such GOOD information.
@Lexi bear Not true. Type 2 is totally curable. Research RUclips videos from Dr. Jason Fung and Dr. Robert Lustig.
What is frequent urination?
I urinate three times a night and often have a period when I don't, until I eat in th
e afternoon, adding up to about 6 or 7 times in 24 hrs. I thought that was insanely frequent, as I never counted before.
I thought I was going to the bathroom often because I drink so much water...but I can see I am extra thirsty...I am struggling to lose weight as I have been exercising and intermittent fasting and no results at all😕 now I get it.
Rockstar!!!
Cut the fructose addiction, do Keto and intermittent fasting alongside vitamins , minerals and natural herbs and you will reverse it in a few weeks or so.
If you reverse your insulin resistance dont go back to the way you used to eat!
So it's really not reversible but sustainable? You have to live a low carb life forever? Personally I love low carb n how I feel.
@@samanthahi4541 you don't have to eat low carb forever. But if you go back to the diet that caused your IR in the first place of course it is going to happen again. Once you reverse it stick to whole foods 👍
@@HealthCoachKait thank you. 😊
@@samanthahi4541 if you eat pretty good like plenty of veggies, fruits, grains, and know what you are eating, you don't really need to care about low carb after fixing your insulin resistance. Just make sure it's not simple carbs, but complex carbs.
@@hashbrowncookie8444 thank you.
You're the first person to mention the dark skin, which I had under both of my cheeks for a long time. Now that I have been doing Keto for a year and lost 50lbs, the dark gray cheeks are gone. Thanks for all you do Kait!
How long did you do the keto diet? And did u do any gym with it?
@@fxmcreations1209 i am still doing keto now. I am not going back to sugar. I walk and bike and do some resistance training. But i need to do more weights. But i am in better shape at 60 than i was at 30 by a long shot.
are your underarms dark too? I am prediabetic and I think my dark armpits is caused by it. I wonder if they would disappear.
@@deckarddwizardd1909 I don't believe my armpits were dark, but definitely on my face, which disappeared with Keto. Skin tags will stop forming as well.
it is called Acanthosis Nigra @@zadok22 common sign of metabolic syndrome
Insulin resistance was caused by the FDA. Any time rats are fed a diet inclusive of high fructose combined with hydrogenated fats they become insulin resistant. The FDA allowed manufacturers to use high fructose and hydrogenated fats/oils because these ingredients are cheap. These foods never satisfy us, so we eat more and more.
They’re just tryna kill us n keep us sick
F***, I have most of this simptoms and my doctor never put this hipotese in consideration! Thank you so much!

Wow, I've had type 2 diabetes for 10 years and no doctors or dieticians ever told me this information. I learned more in this 10 minute video than in the last 10 years. Now I understand why I can't get my A1C below 7.1 - all those little snacks are probably the worst thing I could have done. I'm so glad I watched this video, thanks for posting this helpful information.
I have also had T2 for ten years and no medic told me that it could be reversed. I also used to snack a lot. I found out about weight loss and intermittent fasting a few months ago and as a result I have reduced my fasting glucose to 6.1 mmol (normal is below 5.5) and I am on course to get it to normal in a few weeks. I will still have some insulin resistance, but I think I can fix that as well if I keep going.
I guess the takeaway is doctors will try to fix you after you break, but they won't help you at all to avoid getting there. Most doctors have very little professional training in nutrition. My doctor ran and ate granola (the worst) until he got prancreatic cancer and checked out. Their general lack of knowledge of nutrition today is a true crime and black stain upon the entire validity of the medical profession.
I wish I had known some of this back 30 years ago. Doctors don't really know how to talk to patients and inform them of their options and symptoms. Doctors just go by the numbers (cholesterol, blood sugar, triglycerides, etc.). I have had skin tags for years. Never has a doctor told me why I have them, and I have asked. And never did a Doctor tell me my abdominal fat was due to insulin resistance. It was always, "well some people have a higher/lower metabolism" type of answer.
I used to have skin tags and just thought it was a family trait since my mother always had them. After 2 months on keto they were gone.
👏👏
I find that hard to imagine.I have tons of skin tags and it is either burn them off or cut them off! Are you stating that you changed your diet and they just fell off???
I lost mine and the dark marks under my arms(I've had them since I was 7) in days after going on keto! But what sucks is it turns out the illness I tried to correct with keto was that my gallbladder died...
Because skin tags are excess fats.
That would explain why my skin tags disappeared..I had them all over my neck, and chest. I did keto for about 3 months, but didn't think there was a connection, or noticed when exactly they disappeared, until I did...Huh..Now I know why.
I have changed my diet at 57, lost 25 lbs and take junior ASA and ozempic 5mg per week and feel great and sleep well, I am a heart attack survivor and have turned things around for the better! Thanks Kait for your helpful information, learning goes along with health!!!
Awesome! 👏
Do u have diebites
How or why does exercising raise your blood sugar levels?? Seems super counter intuitive. Can someone explain??
Thank u so much I know understand why I gained so much weight during my pregnancies and it’s been hard to loose it every since.
Looking back i had a lot of the signs you mention in your video. I had gestational diabetes with both my pregnancies and really struggled losing weight after my last pregnancy. I started on the ketogenic diet/ working out 3 days a week, I managed to drop 30 lbs in two years. But totally plateaued after that initial loss. I spent the following year trying to figure out why I wasn't able to lose any more weight. Finally i consulted with a naturopathic doctor who suggested I added fasting to my lifestyle. First I did 16:8 then gradually shifted to omad. This was like magic to my body. After three years of struggling I finally started to lose the weight. I averaged about 1 pound a week and now I'm almost back to my pre-pregnancy weight!
What is omad?
OMAD = "One Meal A Day"
This is so inspiring! Thank you for sharing!
How or why does exercising raise your blood sugar levels?? Seems super counter intuitive. Can someone explain??
@@balla2828 So i think it has to do with the glucose already stored in your body, so even if you stop carbs, and you start fasting or exercising, your body still needs some form of energy to function (otherwise you'd probably die in your sleep or pass out during a run)so your body is now tapping into its stored bank to use all the glucose stored and because of this the insulin kicks up as well again. i know it sounds annoying but Jason fung here on youtube explained this is not necessarily bad because well...its about time we lose some of that excess stored glucose and fat. I think its just a phase as your new journey begins to insulin sensitivity starts. Things will even out. Watch Jason Fung he explains this very well.
40 years old and just recently diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. The lifestyle disease. Thank you so much for sharing this video! Very helpful and informative!

stay off Metformin - it damages your heart. Victoza works well and helps to loose weight.
@@kallasusort2986 Will my Dr. switch me to that I wonder. Ty I'll see!!
I was gaining a lot of weight and I was way hungrier than I'd ever been, abdominal fat, etc. even though I was exercising and trying to lose weight. I stopped eating sugar including fruit and it's been a month and I've already lost a good amount of weight including in my abdomen and my hunger is finally back to how it was when I was thinner. I get full when I eat again and I don't want to eat for a while afterward. All I did was stop eating sugary foods including fruit and I don't eat at night and I feel so much better and I'm finally losing weight. It's so much easier than anything I've ever tried and it works.

Great video!
I am a type 1 diabetic, diagnosed at 41 (long story) but legit traditional “juvenile” diabetes. Maintaining ketosis is super challenging. Stress can seriously impact my blood sugar and pull me right out.

Having fat resistance would be great
Nope, you would die without fat.
Having a junk food resistance would be great.
Can you believe my doctor and doctors ever explained or even mentioned any of this....makes me wonder about what else we don’t know.
Docs were taught how to treat *symptoms* only at med schools. Who cares about the cause like IR?
Doctors (MDs) have failed me at every turn. Surgeons, pain specialists (needed due to malpractice) even dentists. A retired doctor told me once "If you want to be healthy, stay away from doctors as much as possible".

How long did it take you to reverse it if you don’t mind me askin
After you reversed, could you eat chocolate again and still maintain the insulin in control?
my doctor told me to not do keto bc of cholesterol
Thanks so much for posting this!! Reminds me to get back on track. Keto kept me off of Metformin. I’ve been off track and all the symptoms are back. Time to get back to it!! God bless you.
Really informative! under 50g of carbs/day is really hard tho, one must be motivated but eh, it will be worth it if it can reverse your insulin resistance
having a fixed number feels weird to me, since we are all individuals with different size/weight etc
So clear and when you see all the signs in one place - wow 😳 we kind of know it but when you just tick the boxes- no way to unknow it:)
Well said
So much information and so helpful! I am listening again!! You are truly a gift!
Im about to cry.... I stumbled into this video, scrolling across YT... I have been dealing with my weight for so many years now. It doesn't matter how often I tried to reduce it, I lost some water but thats it. I have 8 of the 9 symptoms. I will make an appointment right next week. If this is really my problem... I will feel so released cause then I finally know how to change my life. Thank you so much for posting this!!!
🙏🙏
Also, there is a condition that makes it almost impossible to lose weight. It's called Lipedema. You should review the information on that. The symptoms are similar to IR but not related to IR.
Kait is 100% correct here, Rebecca. I suggest also some of the other Keto channels. They are presenting the true science of nutrition. Be aware that the SAD diet is dangerously unhealthy, and exists only to sell bulk chemical factory generated and processed food "products". Eating fat doesn't make you fat, eating bulk carbohydrates does. they DO feed bulk grains (carbohydrates) to cattle, to fatten them up for market.
The food and drug mega-corporations spend many billions of dollars on promotion, misinformation and bribery to sell their health damaging products. There are people online paid to misinform and mislead. If they teach and preach low-fat for instance, you can be sure that they've been misled or are seeking to mislead. It's so sad that such behavior is not easily criminally chargeable.
My favorite Keto channels include Dr Eric Berg, and Dr Sten Ekberg. Hope this helps.
@Homos R Perverts Against Nature you are very wrong with that. I live keto since 2 years and nothing helped me more than that. Your comment is absolutly disqualifying for everyone that suffers under their weight. Its the carbs and white sugar that is bad, not the good fats. But who am i talking to.... your homophobic nickname gives already away what kind of person you are. Keep judging. You will be judged by god later. Have a good day.
@@amisoftau2659 thank you dear. Im already on ketogenic lifestyle since 2019. On and off i gotta admit tho. But once i fall into ketosis i feel amazing. I still have some symptoms that makes my life harder. And only the keto diet doesnt fix that. I need to look further into it. And thats why i am so thankful for this video. If i go to the docs they simply tell me that im fat and should do a diet... that im on keto since 2 years and lost weight - they dont care. Its more that im stuck after loosing water. Which frustrates me. My body is a rebel and it is on a strike haha. I have 8 of the 9 symptoms in this video and 4 of them significantly strong in appearance. Additional i have a very very hard hairloss since about 6 months Which will end in a bald head if it keeps going on like this. But still doctors told me "you are just fat, nothing else" - I never heard that beeing fat makes you loose hair, sleepless, having periods once every 3 months and so on. I knew it was something else that also had to be going on. Cause even that i changed to keto - those things didnt change, some got even worse.
My blood sugar is high - I found out when my Doctor ordered a fasting glucose test.
Now on blood sugar meds, Metformin, my energy is more steady, and I’m finally losing weight in my stomach.
I could not figure out why I wasn’t losing weight while exercising daily and eating a healthy diet. It really is that important.
Maybe cause your healthy diet is 4000 calories a day. They did not tell you this cause they wanted to sell you a medicine. They wont make money on telling you to fast or eat 1200 calories a day
Metformin is so bad for you dude. I would try to get off of it, that’s not a medicine you want to be on for the rest of your life
@@Itachii0707 , are you a medical professional or a scientist? Why are you giving medical advice to strangers on the internet? Metformin is necessary for some people who would be diabetic af otherwise and wold risk impairing their vision or losing a part of their limb.
My intuition is (I am not a medical professional) that it might be helpful to check with several sources and at least two dietitians/nutritionists if your diet really is healthy in terms of diabetis prevention or is it only a bit healthier than your peers' diet or the mainstream diet in your country (especially if you live in the USA). I thought for the longest time my diet wasn't that bad but now, after my insulin resistance diagnosis and some self-education, I realise I still ate far too much high-GI products. In my country, people eat tons of bread and tons of potatoes, for example. Hardly anybody would consider it unhealthy because it's so mainstream and part of the culture. "Normal" and "harmful" don't go together, right? ... Right!? ;)
Trulicity is really good, imo.
you have just taught me smth Doctors couldn't for 10+ years ... mind blown 😳
WOW..I am 51 been having these issues for 10 years, General physician, Endocrinologist never used the word Insulin resistance, today you just made me cognizant to a problem, your explanation made me realize the real problem and how to solve it.
Words cant express how grateful I am for this and you taking the time to do it, your saving lives I hope you know that.

You have explained my life. I can’t believe it
Hope the tips were helpful! 🙏
This kind of video that i've been looking for❤️
She's a good teacher. Pleasant, pretty informative sharing a preset manageable amount of information. I'm guessing she probably was either a Sunday school teacher or majored in education in college.

Look for Dr. Berg he has 4500 videos with the subject and also what to use it for and not and how to avoid it and why.
Me too
As to the low class comment about eyebrows: Big people talk about ideas that help others (you) ...... Average people talk about things (most people) and little small people talk about other people (the jerks).
One of the best explanations I have ever heard, thank you!!!
🤗🤗
Omg I didn't even know this is a thing. I just naturally discovered that eating less carbs helps my metabolism, after so many failed dieting attempts this was the only thing that worked for me. I started eating all types of meat and vegetables and I started losing weight without even exercising which was mind-blowing to me, especially because I ate same size portions like I did before, when I was gaining weight. I am never again relying on carbs as my energy source.
Hey Kate, I’d kill for eyebrows like that!
I have PCOS and nearly all of these symptoms. I hate it!

How ppl get pcos ..these type of problems were not before but now every second girl goes with these problem in her day to day life..I want to know the cause of it ..n why ppl get diabetic n cancer a major problem ..can someone explain me the reason of it ..
Ranbir Singh high insulin is the root cause of PCOS. High insulin blocks the ovaries from converting testosterone to estrogen, so you don't menstruate and the eggs become cysts. Testosterone remains high as a result leading to side effects such as acne and excess hair growth. Address insulin resistance and we address PCOS. I have a video coming next week 🙏
I got diagnosed with insulin resistance a month ago but have been having the symptoms for years. My doctors tested me multiple times and said I wasn't. Now I'm taking Ozempic and it's helped so much. I'm losing weight so much easier now.
What kind of test was it? Blood test?
Insulin serum test@@livelaughlove4635
This makes sense. I show a few of these signs. I've noticed High Fructose Syrup makes me hungry. When I eliminate the syrups esp., high fructose I'm not as hungry though out the day. And soft drinks make me more thirsty and pee more. I'm 90% done with both of those and feeling better. Your video is eye opening. Thank you.
Whole Foods is the key. Nothing in a bag, in a box or in a can (unless it’s canned vegetables, but cook them yourself). Just food from the perimeter of the supermarket.
1) Belly fat
2) Sowllen ankles
3) Hunger after eating sugar cravings
4) Sugar cravings
5) Dark skin patches
6) frequent urinatation
7) irregular priod/pcos
8) Skin tags
9) Elevated blood sugar
10) extreme thirsty
Great list, i have 6 of them already
Yikes I have all of them
I suffer with this and my doctor put me on the keto diet. I've been on it for 3 weeks and can feel the difference. If you are suffering with it and decide to change things the side effects of changing your diet suck. Head aches. What I like to call non pregnancy morning sickness, tired all the time. If you suffer with the symptoms ask for a blood test. Great video. Not many people know and just think its normal. Since doing it I've lots 25lbs.
Go to Eat Like a Bear to alleviate you negative side effects. I think you need electrolytes.
@@kathygann7632 im actually good now. Health issues have been taken care of lost a ton of weight and feel great.
Great video! Excellent, clear, succinct, information-packed presentation. So glad I found your channel! Thank you and God bless you!
I solved this insulin resistance syndrome by FASTING ! I do only one meal a day and that is lunch.Eat plenty of greens, some protein and some vegetables. Avoid bread and carbs at all times. Don’t drink alcohol of any type. I lost 20lbs in 18 days. Best decision in my whole life..
allow my self one day off every -5 days to have wine, martinis and a few snacks. Next day back to the one meal a day routine. Me diabetes T2 is gone. I feel pretty, I feel happy, I feel pretty and happy and gay! !!
I completely agree with your approach. I use Alternate Day Fasting and I have lost 53 Lbs. I never felt so good. I get sloppy with the number of carbs and the fasting compensates for my sloppy efforts. I wish you well with this lifestyle, I only wish I found this lifestyle sooner.
Take care.
tell about your diet to a real doctor and they'll call you crazy. one meal? Avoid carbs? What an idiot. Also, do you even have proof that you had the syndrome in the first place and that it's gone? Did you do the tests? Don't mislead people, they're gonna ruin their health because of you.
@Hineni John3:16
The ADF is a very common approach to body repairing.
I did not just jump into ADF.
I progressed into it. I started out with Atkins then went Keto. Saw how to eat healthy. The importance of high fat and low carb. Eating fat and not eating lean helps us to not be hungry there is a hormone that makes you not hungry. Then I went to intermittent fasting then progressed to ADF.
I never felt so good. Attacking the insulin resistance feels so good.
I wish you well.
@@ChocolateMuffin308
Fuck off, brainwashed sheep.
Chocolate muffin . You obviously don’t realise the huge amount of science over many years behind fasting...it sounds like this is the first thing you’ve read. She doesn’t mean you eat one meal a day for the rest of your life! We’re talking here about reversing Insulin resistance which you obviously don’t understand to be so nasty. Regarding asking a Doctor, this is also a very ignorant statement. You obviously don’t know that generally Doctors get no training in nutrition or this subject of the benefits of fasting, they generally don’t know more than the general public unless they take a special interest in the subject. In fact I was recently amazed by how fantastic my GP looked after she’d been practising Intermittent fasting for 3 months so she obviously had an interest, did her research and was very pleased with the stunning results. If you want to educate yourself one source of many is research Doctor Micheal Moseley. This is where my GP learned the science behind intermittent fasting.
Clear and concise, just like the other one I saw. Dr Zyrowski could learn something from you. Also, you are the only one to point out bad sleep as a cause of IR.Thanks, have subscribed now.
Welcome to the channel! 😁
The hardest part about frequent urination is the healthy amount of water that needs to be consumed will make you urinate frequently. Thank you so much for this video it has helped me understand that all those are connected.
So true. You cant win on this one. On a hot day and I have to be out all day on buses running here and there, I do not drink at all because having to find a toilet every hour is way to stressful. So I become dehydrated and that leads to other problems.
Dexter's sister; Jennifer Carpenter?
No way, she didn't say f@ck one time.
This gal is better looking than Jennifer carpenter
Needed this! I have brown patches on my inner thighs, been carnivore since January if this year, before I was a high carb vegan. Praying that I can heal quickly. Love your channel, thank you.💜
♥️♥️
Any updates?
Nice video! Definitely working on eating less sugar, more water, veggies, and fruits, and exercising.
Cant eat fruit as fruit has so much sugar
@@margaretcampbell2681 unfortunately :(
Higher blood pressure is another symptom, high LdL cholesterol, liver enzymes and water retention in general. Blood sugar also goes up when you have flu. And then there is the dawn syndrome. I went to doctors over the years with clear symptoms and they kept saying that nothing is wrong with me. Thanks. I ended up with insulin resistance. I reversed the condition and my blood sugar went up again due to stress, but I won't give up.
Triglyceride to HDL ratio is a better indicator of insulin resistance (and heart disease) than high LDL alone. High LDL seems to be benign if trigs are low and HDL is high ruclips.net/video/w9A7_8OJq6k/видео.html
Dr Robert Morse videos on sugar versus glucose. And his fruits for diabetes reversal
Drink apple cider vinegar at night mixed with water to help with Dawn effect in the morning.
Already this is helpful 5 minutes in. My old doctor said it was not reversible and I was stuck with it for the rest of my life.
🤗🤗
HE NEEDED TO PAY FOR HIS NEW CAR INSTALLMENTS.
I guess what he meant is that once you have insulin resistance, you will always have the tendency in you. If we go back to eating a diet high in refined carbs and sugars, our blood sugar will rise again. It is not a one-time solution but now a chronic issue to be managed for our lifetimes.
Hi! Thank You for making videos for the public. I have PCOS but have never been close to diabetic. I never tested positive on my three gestational diabetic testing (even though I more than doubled in weight all three pregnancies) and when my doctor checked me randomly I was constantly in the low side. After a hospital stay where they starved me abs only fed me through an IV with liquids, antibiotics and prednisone. When I got out after five days I had lost 15 pounds and I was already skinny when I was admitted (Crohn’s flare up and bacterial infection). I was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s a couple of years back after gaining 40 pounds in three weeks abs testing. I’m on medications for my thyroid and when I got out from the hospital the sane thing happened to me again, gained a ton of weight in only a few weeks. I thought it was my thyroid but the doctor didn’t think so. This was September of last year abd ever since I have been extremely fatigued and so tired neither my body or brain functions like it used to. I have a lot of pain too and are often stuck in bed. During a check up my glucose level was 240. This was after my scoliosis and the nerve damage caused me to be bedridden for weeks and I had to resolve to 30 mg of prednisone per day. I received help from a dietitian and my doctor diagnosed me with steroid induced diabetes. I had to watch every carb for a couple of months but it was difficult being a vegetarian, almost vegan and also being on a low fiber diet due to Crohn’s. I continued to eat berries daily. My blood sugar went down and now that the prednisone is out of my body so is the diabetes. But what I realized after a lot of research is that being on a high protein, low carb diet that’s often high in fat is not a good way to live. We actually do need carbs (like my berries) for healthy antioxidants. Eating a keto type diet does not cure the disease, it only masks it. What everyone needs to learn is to eat “lagom” on everything with a variation of healthy foods (lagom is a Swedish word that means “just enough” basically). In my case my insulin resistance was not preventable as You said. It was not caused by poor diet or a lack of healthy living. It was a response to many auto immune diseases, prednisone and an incredible amount of stress on my body during a short period of time. I am not writing this to argue with what You said, but simply give You another scenario and patient to look at. My doctors and dietician agrees with my views on the “lagom” diet that includes healthy carbs and avoids too much similar unhealthy fat. I hope You May want to take this into consideration and I am open to answer any questions You may have. Sincerely, M.
Thanks for sharing this because I've been on the Keto diet for months and have not lost any weight. Im trying to listen to my body and am going to switch to low carb and low fat and see if that helps.
I APPRECIATE HOW EASILY YOU EXPLAIN THINGS. THANK YOU!
♥️♥️
I have a pot belly and edema in my feet start eating more vegetables cut down on the spaghetti the pasta the pastries and sugar I want to thank you for sharing and careing 😀
Wow, this is eye opening!!!! I had all of these symptoms and I had bariatric surgery four years ago. Today, I weigh under 110 pounds and I am no longer pre-diabetic or have to take medication for high cholesterol, depression, or high blood pressure. I am the healthiest I have ever been, but I still suffer from swollen ankles, skin discoloration, and skin tags. Very informative video!!!!
For better sleep make sure you are getting enough potassium and magnesium each day. Drink enough water, remember your body needs enough electrolytes to function properly.
It just occurred to me this might be why I've not been sleeping well since I started IF Keto, just wow! Tnk you for this tip!👌😄
@@stellao748 Kiwifruit is one of my favorite ways to get potassium, it's also helps you sleep.
How much of each is beneficial?
I am insulin resistant and have PCOS.
But my doctor's are appalled on how all my levels (blood sugar, blood pressure and cholesterol) are at perfect levels.
Same!!! I'm glad I'm not the only one. I recently transferred to a new doctor that actually listened to me and didn't just give me the "you're just fat and you need to workout and eat less" when I had been doing that for years. We just finished a month's worth of blood testing and I couldn't be more happy to have someone realize it's a symptom too. 😭
They are apparently devoid of critical thinking.
Magnesium helps with insomnia. Get yourself tested for Sleep Apnea, there's some dentists who let you do a take-home sleep study.
I seem to be in the very early stages of insulin resistance. Time to take charge!!😀
You've got this!
Please take charge over your health, you don't want to be diabetic. My A1c was at 14 I could have died. I got my health back to normal with keto diet. You still need to eat a very little of carbs so you don't get tired, research it.
Eliminate vegetable oils (also found in almost all restaurant food). It's the source of the problem. Watch "Dr. Chris Knobbe - 'Diseases of Civilization: Are Seed Oil Excesses the Unifying Mechanism?'" on RUclips
ruclips.net/video/7kGnfXXIKZM/видео.html
Same and I am determined to reverse it and end it here.
Definitely insulin resistant. I remember feeling such shame for being hungry after I just finished eating! That’s before I knew anything about carb addiction! It has been a life long struggle, I’ve had freedom from it all for 3 years now! Keto and Carnivore are the way 100%!
👏👏
Do interminent fasting and you’ll be 100 percent better
I used to Never get full. But I only ate once a day. Thank God for Keto!
I love meat but never heard about the Carnivore diet. I've tried keto 3x with 3 kinds of keto pills. I found keeping carbs under 50 grams a day really hard. I haven't had bread in a year but I'm a total sugar addict. Which I never was until 5 years ago when I entered the hospital, Nursing home. Help,advice please.
My daughter has symptoms...for years.
I am 52 been dealing with menopause for 2 years and due to that and age and having a hard time getting around due to health issues I have gained over 70 pounds in a year and now tipping the scale at almost 300 and my stomach is 3 times the size it was and my ankles stay swollen and I can't lose weight or get rid of my stomach no matter what I do
I've been taking a more serious stance of learning about my insulin resistance related to my PCOS and also just eating healthy foods and I found a lot of success with eating a produce Rich diet that is low in processed food
I have 5-6 of these symptoms been trying to loose weight after putting on a load over lockdown, now working night or evening shifts.
Looks like keto and job hunting are the way forward for me.
I hate what the governments done to us over the last year 18months.
I always figured my excess tummy fat was a permanent side effect from having four children. And I believed skin tags were somehow genetic bc my mom's family has had them. I'll be mentioning some of these things to my doctor at my next appointment. Thank you.
It doesn't mean your doctor will agree. I have read about the link between the skin tags on the neck and insulin resistance, and talked about this to my doctor and she said that it had no link. But as I like to check for myself, I went to pubmed and found studies linking both. So they don't know everything. And yes, in my country, nutrition is an opcional subject in the medical degree. It's ridiculous...
@@veram4820 very true. Thanks for the info.
Doctors are trained by Big Pharma and are educated idiots especially where human nutrition is concerned. We are what we eat!
If you get high blood sugar they'll just throw you on pills. Eat low carb, intermittent fast and fo what you can to lose weight. That will actually help you not pills.
What I've considered with things that "run in the family" is this.... Your diet is handed down from your family typically. *Secret family recipes* and all. Just a thought that occurred to me a while back.
Eat less foods with an insulin response: low carb/ keto or eat less frequently: intermittent fasting.
Amazing.
🤗🤗
Or eat a Carnivore/zero carb lifestyle👍
@@ketoauntie7301 Watermelon
Low carb use natural fats like coconut oil and olive oil in diet. Eat maybe twice a day in a span of 8 hours. I'll give this a shot. But I want to find ways to measure my carb intake and quantify my calorie intake. Need more numbers to back up what I'm doing.
Are you insulin resistant?
YES ... I am:((
I’m resistant to eating snails😬😬😬
I’ve been controlling my diabetes through my diet, and I’ve kept the weight off.
SWEET DREAMS you can reverse it! I believe in you! ♥️♥️♥️
I have never been diagnosed but I believe I may have had hypoglycemia as a young adult. I came from a family in love with sugar. I would wake up in the middle of the night shaking and would be sick, ya know, puking. Yet, so hungry. Terrible. Scared me away from eating sweets for good. I experienced this in adulthood a few times when I would not pay attention to what I was eating (sugar is everywhere) but it wakes me up quickly before I come to the point of being sick. 😱 Beef is now my main food, along with chicken, bison, eggs and fish. With a lot of butter.
After my covid vaccines I was running a fever and until I fully recovered my blood sugar was constantly elevated even after not eating for extended hours (16+ h) on a keto diet. It went back to normal after all my symptoms disappeared.
I had a similar experience a few years ago while I had the flu.
Well I definitely have belly fat and I pee quite a bit but I drink a fair amount of water. Although since I started intermittent fasting, my thirst has gone down and I've lost body fat.... Just not around the belly as much as I'd like. Otherwise, I have no other symptoms.
Hm it might be worth getting tested to be sure! In this video I have a few ways to test at home + what tests to ask you doctor for ruclips.net/video/0-LRV-TnTzs/видео.html
Is freguent fatigue is another sign of diabetic? About difficult sleeping ? Eaten but not enough crave for more , how about stress ...?
From my experience, sugar and carbs were behind the same symptoms I had as you. I used to wake up tired.
In just one week of cutting out all processed sugar and carbs (pasta, bread and potatoes) I felt amazing!
- Stable energy throughout the day.
- Reduced hunger and cravings.
- Less irritable and way calmer than my sugar eating days.
- And, I feel lighter and sleep like a baby.
I've seen first hand that sugar is behind majority of the negative feelings our bodies experience.
Try it for a week and notice the difference!
does having your gallbladder removed also help towards high insulin resistance,i was fine until i had it removed.
yessss i can't lose any weight since getting my gallbladder removed!
Haven't been formally diagnosed but noticed dark skin under breasts and hunger after finishing a meal. Have used IF and am using carnivorish diet and skin is looking better and less hungry if I focus on meat in my meals. Thanks for pointing these out.
Awesome to hear!
I'm pretty sure upwards of like 70% animal protein is considered carnivore.
Intermittent fasting has helped me with this
👏👏
Same here💪🏽
Which type of IF
One meal a day for me. 👍
Same, I never wouldve lost weight without IF
Extreme fatigue after eating can also be a sign of food allergy. Happened to me.
How were you able to tell it was an allergy?
I only get like that when I eat pasta, so I try to avoid it.
I was diagnosed with pcos when I was younger and no one ever taught me about it. Now I get tested for diabetis every half year, because I have insulin resistance. And that's it. If it is not the diabetes yet, it seems to be not worth treating. Thank you for this video.
Same here i which i add this knowledge back then i wouldn't have gain 130 pound 😭😭😭
I had no idea I had PCOS until I started trying to get pregnant 4 years ago. Thinking back, I showed signs an high school (over 17 years ago) but the doctor’s answer was to throw me on birth control without any questions. I did need ovulation induction meds to have my sons, even after IF/keto, but I wished I knew all this sooner!
@@reni1076 Yeah same here. Have gotten the full program. Gaining weight, facial hair, hair loss and so on. My gynecologist back then just gave me birth control with a larger amount of estrogen and that was that. Now I live with the consequences.
@@bertram9852 feel you. This ' I wish I had known sooner' turns around in my head very often when it comes to that topic.
I have pre diabetes. When my doctor told me she wasn’t concerned, gave wrong advice but ten years later I figured it out on my own and am on a keto diet.
So what does one do when they can’t eat fruits a d vegetables? I have stomach hypersensitivity and it’s painful if I eat fruits and vegetables unless just on occasion. I can’t eat nuts either.
make soup from veggie or steam them.
Vitamin supplements perhaps.
@@patsyhodge9071 that doesn’t help with weight though, unfortunately. The only thing I could do is eat nothing but meat and steamed vegetables (I can eat them if they are cooked enough). What could I snack on other than meat and cooked vegetables that won’t make me gain weight?
I smell it. My cousin and my uncle have a particular smell like old books that i was getting to. So that was the sign i took serious to make some changes in my diet and habits
I am sorry but this is too funny. " old books smell."😂
I have every symptom. Wow, thank you. I’m going to sort this out.
Good info! Not diagnosed with insulin resistance, but I have some of the symptoms. Did have severe insomnia for many years and that likely contributed. Working on getting healthier now, doing intermittent fasting, increasing healthy fats and reducing carbs.
You have no idea the relief I feel after watching this!!
I have gone to so many doctors and this one video makes more sense to me than any of them ever did!
Thank you sooooooo much!!!! 😭😭🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏♥️♥️♥️♥️

OMG I love that shirt! It looks so good on you! :D
Thank you lovely! 🤗
Menopause….Mike drop!!! Hot flashes are a main reason for lack of sleep!
This video really helped explain to me my particular situation and why I have been having such a hard time with weight loss. I now know the proper steps to reversing this Insulin Resistance and hopefully it will result in some weight dropping for myself and being healthier overall. Thanks!!
I’ve been diagnosed insulin resistance for at least 10 years - and it’s been touted as a ‘possible’ reason for my inability to lose weight, but I’ve never been presented with any sort of solution. I followed a keto diet and had some success on that - but hubby got worried that it wasn’t a good idea long term so I stopped and have struggled to restart. Yet when I was on it, I found it easy and felt the best I had for years mentally. Haven’t had any periods for 20 yrs. I’m 53
Go back to Keto, or at least low carb, cut out all sugars. Processed foods, and simple carbs, rice, bread, pasta, use replacement like almond flour, coconut flour! You have to do this for your health please! Good luck.
Im insulin resistant without a gallbladder as of 2020. Im 2 months of taking almased and OMAD. down 20+#s
Cutting carbs has made a world of difference. I hope I can keep it up
👏👏
