Remedies to Help Target Abdominal Fat?Posted By mommyto9 (Nashville, TN) on 04/16/2024
For those of you who have T2D, have you had your pancreas function tested and, if so, was the information helpful to you with determining how to best manage your condition, naturally?
My main question, though, relates to the abdominal fat that contributes to insulin resistance and many other health issues. I have lost a good amount of weight over the last six years. I have lost in many areas, but I do not lose any from my upper abdomen. Please do not suggest a Keto diet. I eat very low carb. I eat high protein. I mostly avoid sugar, even fruit. I need to target this issue with vitamins or herbs or some additional combination that will dissolve this hard, difficult fat. I am encouraged, from reading much information on this site, that I can improve my insulin sensitivity (but there are so many suggestions that it is overwhelming). I don't think it is going to be possible as long as this blockage is in the way.
Thank you for your stories and advice.

SPUs don't cost a dime nor do they take any time away from other things nor require any equipment aside from whatever chairs you're sitting on. You can use a browser extension to pop up the website every hour or the timer on your phone to remind you to do them until it becomes habit.
The soleus muscle provides perfect muscle metabolism with zero muscle fatigue. It's so perfect that if your muscles get tired, all you have to do is relax the fatigued muscles and keep going as you know if you experience muscle fatigue, you're using the wrong muscles.

I am a fellow middle Tennessean, also with nine children, my last one born almost 13 years ago. I do not have T2D, but also deal with stubborn abdominal fat. I have lost weight everywhere else. I do not eat low carb or high protein. I eat mostly complex carbs, proteins, and good fats. I do think the diabetes thing has a genetic connection. My doctor recently tested my A1C (which turned out to be in the normal range) because I had a slightly elevated testosterone level. (I did a saliva hormone test.) It was also found that the difference between my estrogen and progesterone levels was greater than ideal. (I'm 57, post-menopause.) She thinks hormone imbalance may be related to the difficulty with the abdominal fat.
I have also had gallbladder issues, though I still have mine.
I wonder if castor oil packs would help you with the potential pancreas issue? Also, obviously you cannot do a gallbladder flush, but I know ladies who do coffee enemas to help with liver issues and stones. I don't know if that is something you can do if you do not have a gallbladder.
Yes, the loss of Shonda Parker was sad and significant.
