Keto Plus Support

     We got disappointing news today. The inspector found water intrusion in the home our niece and family wanted to buy, which is such a shame! The home is beautiful, with amazing views. We're hoping they can find something else that is suitable in our area. We'd love to have them here more consistently. Otherwise, we had a very good week even though we're not doing very much. We use up all of our time going into White Rock and exercising. I come to my Zumba class 4 days a week for an hour every morning hour each morning. I've been doing quite a lot of cooking. We had some meals prepared and left in the freezer, but we're almost out of those, so I've been creating some weekly meals to use as sides or main courses. We just finished having some beef stroganoff, which was delicious. Steve and I like having egg wraps with several variations, including steak, sausage, onions, and cheese. We are enjoying these, and using the keto wraps works for all. Also, I've continued doing some research on insulin resistance, and I'm trying to understand it on a deeper level. I'll explain what I've learned a little at a time so I don't get overwhelmingly dull. I must delineate my understanding so that people facing the same problem can figure out how to manage themselves. I'll begin by providing an explanation relating to my basic understanding of insulin resistance. I realized my gradual weight gain began at around fifty. My decreasing estrogen levels caused decreased metabolic rates and promoted insulin resistance. I gained weight eating salad. Eating less and moving more no longer worked for me. Also, the reduced estrogen and weight gain alters the gut microbiome balance, and the body no longer reacts to food and exercise the same way. Therefore, what used to work for me quit working. I developed resistance to the cellular actions of insulin. According to my doctor, this resistance is characterized by an impaired ability of insulin to inhibit glucose output from the liver and promote glucose uptake in fat and muscle. In short, insulin sensitivity refers to how responsive your cells are to insulin. I worked hard to improve it through exercise and a healthy diet, but the weight loss was so slow I needed semaglutide support. That is likely due to my age, so others might succeed better with simple lifestyle changes, such as exercising regularly and eating a balanced diet. Of course, insulin resistance is more complex than this, and even with semaglutide, exercise and a healthy diet are a must. but more on that later.
