If you enjoy this post, you may also enjoy the FFA A couple of years ago my mum seemed out of sorts.
Normally an energetic lady, she became constantly fatigued.
Her skin looked pale and dry and she lost her upbeat mojo.
My mum is from the northeast of England and has a strong ‘Geordie’ accent.
Well-known for being able to talk the socks off anyone.
Even when she visits me in London she chats to people on the tube.
Which if you know Londoners, is seen as crazy!
No one talks to anyone on the tube.
My mum brought me up on her own. We’re close. When she’s not well I go into ‘over
protection mode’.
At the time she’d started dating a lovely chap, now her long-term partner.
Mum was a healthy eater, enjoying a variety of vegetables and protein sources. Active too.
So when she began to slow down, put weight on, and prefer sitting to walking…
I knew something wasn’t right.
She put it down to getting old and told me to stop worrying.
It wasn’t until I saw her tuck into a cake after lunch, which wasn’t the norm, that I started quizzing her.
I discovered that since dating, they’d been enjoying walks with coffee stops, eating out a lot, and weekend getaways…
What my mum hadn’t realised was how much her sweet tooth had grown over the months.
All the dates had resulted in eating more desserts and cakes.
She’d unknowingly been spiking her insulin multiple times throughout the day from additional carbs.
I advised her to get a diabetes test.
Sure enough, she had developed Type 2 diabetes.
She was confused because although she was having treats, she ate healthy overall.
My mum didn’t understand the negative effect of spiking insulin multiple times throughout the day.
Even if those spikes are from healthier carbs such as sweet potato, brown rice, or oats.
She’d gone from having 3 meals a day with carbs in, resulting in 3 spikes of insulin…
To 3 meals plus 2 to 4 carb snacks in between. Which resulted in 5 to 7 spikes of insulin a day.
The more your body is exposed to insulin, the more resistant it becomes.
Leading to insulin resistance and diabetes.
The good news is, I helped her reverse it within 3 months with a simple diet tweak…
The rule was – no carbs after 3pm.
Dinner was protein, fats, and veg. NO CARBS.
This allowed a long window from 3pm till she woke up the next day with zero insulin spikes…
So her body could re-sensitise.
For the first 3 months, she didn’t have any sweet treats either.
But now she’s reversed it, she enjoys the occasional treat. But always before 3pm.
And I’m pleased to say she’s back to full energy and chatting the socks off everyone on the London tube.
What does this story have to do with transforming your body?
Everything.
If your body isn’t functioning correctly due to poor insulin sensitivity, you can’t absorb nutrients from food effectively.
You may think you’re eating ‘healthy’ but if you too are eating carbs multiple times a day, you’re negatively affecting your insulin sensitivity.
Which makes losing weight 10X harder.
It’s also correlated with low energy, hormone production, and health markers.
Take a step back and look at the root cause of why you’re feeling tired or struggling to lose weight.
We’re all just cells at the end of the day.
If those cells are resistant to insulin, they can’t function correctly.
No amount of exercise, diet shakes, or supplements will fix it.
But a small tweak to your diet can.
