What Are The Invisible Fat Loss Factors Over 40? - Part 3
Insulin - The Hormone That Controls Fat Storage
Insulin is the hormone that decides whether your body burns fat or stores fat.
When insulin is elevated all day, fat burning is turned off.
This often happens when meals are mostly carbohydrates and low in protein.
Why Does This Become a Problem Over 40?
- Muscle mass naturally declines with age.
- Muscle is where your body stores glucose.
- insulin resistance can increase
Less muscle means-
- blood sugar rises more easily
- insulin stays higher longer.
Common Signs of Blood Sugar Instability?
- afternoon crashes
- sugar cravings
- brain fog
- belly fat
- constant hunger
FitnHealthy Forever Action Today
- Focus on protein first. At each meal aim for 40- 60 grams of protein
