Key Takeaways:

• Loosing weight comes down to blood sugar and insulin regulation.
• Low Carbohydrate diets can help to do this initially. A recommended ratio of 70% healthy fats, 20% lean proteins, 10% fiber rich carbs
• Intermittent Fasting can also help to lower blood sugar and insulin levels.
• An intermittent fasting ratio of 16:8 is most effective. Slowly shift your schedule.
• Building muscle is key for weight loss.
• Muscle helps to burn more calories and decrease blood sugar and insulin levels.
• You don't have to go to the gym to build muscle. You can do resistance training exercises at home.
