Take the QUIZ: Are you insulin resistant?

Are you struggling to lose weight no matter how hard you diet? Do you feel extra tired in the afternoon? Do have frequent mood swings? If you've answered YES to any of these questions, it's time to take our FREE INSULIN RESISTANCE SURVEY to see if you may be suffering from this condition. Insulin resistance means that cells in your body fail to respond to the normal actions of the hormone insulin, leading to weight gain, fatigue and cranky moods! When you are insulin resistant (or becoming insulin resistant), the body puts out more insulin to stabilize blood glucose (so the cells can use the glucose) and this makes it more difficult for the body to use stored fat for energy.
