Nutritionist Warns About Habits Worsening Insulin Resistance

A nutritionist named Lovneet Batra shared on Instagram that some habits people think are healthy might actually make insulin resistance worse.

Insulin resistance is a condition where the body doesn't respond well to insulin, which can lead to high blood sugar levels.

Lovneet explained that adding too much fruit or sugary dressings to salads can cause blood sugar spikes.

She also said that drinking apple cider vinegar (ACV) shots without eating enough fiber or protein isn't helpful.

Working out on an empty stomach, especially for women, can increase cortisol levels, which is bad for insulin resistance.

Smoothie bowls and honey can also cause insulin spikes if eaten in excess.

Lovneet suggested eating meals with 15–20 grams of protein, combining protein with fiber and slow-digesting carbs, and maintaining consistent meal timings.

She emphasized that managing insulin resistance requires structured eating, not just random healthy habits.
