Yes Insulin resistance is one of the reasons behind slow weight loss in people. Insulin resistance is the inability of your body to properly convert the food that you eat into energy to fuel your cells. With nowhere else to go, the body turns this extra energy into fat and stores it for later. Healthy lifestyle and diet is important and can help regulate insulin levels. Exercise can help the body regulate blood glucose and keep excess weight off.
