Take action:
If you find it difficult to lose weight despite sticking to the rules, find out if you’re not suffering from insulin resistance, which can hamper weight loss. Ask your doctor to send you for the relevant tests and consult your dietician if you do have insulin resistance. The dietician will provide you with a low-fat, low-GI (glycaemic index) diet.
Could you be insulin resistant?
You’ve been on a countless number of weight-loss diets, you’ve tried every slimming trick in the book, and you even exercise regularly. Yet you fail to shake those excess kilos. What on earth could be wrong?
