YES! Insulin is a fat storage hormone. The more insulin you have in your body, the more insulin resistant you become. Tell your doctors to stop telling you to lose weight in the same breath they are prescribing more insulin!

Are you aware that muscle weighs more than fat? This means that, as you work out and tone, you'll be building muscle and, therefore, weight.

One job of insulin is to metabolize needed glucose.

Another job is to turn excess, read unneeded, carbs into fat stores, to be used in lean times.

Cut the carbs, add fiber, exercise if your doctors allow, stop adding to your fat stores.

It's simple, just not what most people want to hear or do.

Baby steps. I can do baby steps and you can too.

Never give up, never surrender, never ever.
You got this.
Do what's necessary.
Have a wonderful day.

Weight gain with that much gym time may be a result of muscle mass. A better way to figure if weight gain is good or bad is to have the doc calculate your BMI. REmember muscle mass weighs more than fat. How are your clothes fitting? Use that as a guide as well. Don't let number on the scale dictate your life.

Has anyone ever tried ozampic?
