I started using a CGM

And it has been LIFE CHANGING

Continuous glucose monitor is exactly what it sounds like

Why do i have one even though I’m not diabetic?

INSULIN CONTROLS FAT LOSS

The more stable your blood sugar is, the more your body burns fat.

If your insulin is high it signals your body NOT to burn fat *EVEN IF YOU’RE IN A CALORIE DEFICIT*

So follow along to see this journey!

... Read moreContinuous Glucose Monitors (CGMs) are becoming increasingly popular, even among non-diabetics. These innovative devices provide real-time tracking of blood glucose levels, allowing users to better understand how their bodies respond to food and lifestyle choices. One intriguing aspect of using a CGM is its impact on fat loss. Research suggests that stable blood sugar levels can promote fat burning, while high insulin levels can hinder weight loss efforts by signaling the body to store fat instead of burning it. In addition to tracking blood sugar, many users also share their daily meals and snacks, highlighting how different foods influence their glucose levels. This firsthand insight can be incredibly valuable for those looking to optimize their diets for weight loss or overall health. By paying attention to their glucose responses, users can tailor their eating habits and make more informed choices. For anyone considering a CGM, it's essential to approach the experience with an open mind and a willingness to experiment. The data provided by these devices can offer powerful insights, but personal factors such as metabolism and activity levels also play a significant role in how food affects individual blood sugar. If you're new to CGMs, start by tracking your meals and testing different foods to see what works best for you. Empower yourself with knowledge, and don't hesitate to seek insights from the community around #insulinresistance and #weightlossandfatloss for supportive advice and shared experiences.
