Ep 04: Why Fat Burning Shuts Down When Insulin Is High

You’re eating less. You’re exercising more.

But your body isn’t changing — and you’re wondering what’s broken.

In this episode of The Glucose Diaries, we’re breaking down the real reason fat loss stalls (even when you’re “doing everything right”). And spoiler: it’s not your willpower.

It’s insulin.We’ll cover:

• Why insulin acts like a fat-storage switch

• What’s keeping your body stuck in storage mode

• Why calorie-cutting isn’t enough if your insulin is high

• How to flip the switch back to fat-burning

• 3 simple ways to start lowering insulin naturally

If you’ve hit a wall with fat loss or feel like your metabolism has completely changed, this is the episode that explains why — and how to take back control.

🧠 Key Takeaways:

• Insulin is a storage hormone — when it’s high, your body can’t burn fat.

• You can be eating less and still gain weight if insulin is elevated.

• Most people unknowingly spike insulin 6–10 times a day.

• Reducing insulin (not just calories) is the key to sustainable fat loss.

• Simple strategies like eating fewer meals, walking after food, and eating in the right order can make a huge difference.
