Don’t know where to start? Check out my previous article “Are You Insulin Resistant? 16 Signs You Might Be.” Understanding how you got where you are is key to getting healthy. This’ll improve your decision making skills by 100%!
Two of the best books I’ve found for this? Read or listen to “Why We Get Fat” by Gary Taubes and Dr. Jason Fung’s “Obesity Code.” Both books are real eye-openers!
If you’d prefer to watch versus read or listen? Check out the highly recommended documentary “Carb Loaded.”
