The Glucose Diaries with Stephanie Lindamood
Ep 06: Why You’re Gaining Fat Without Eating More (And How to Stop It)
If you’re gaining fat—especially around your midsection—even though you’re eating clean, working out, or eating less, this episode is for you. Your body isn’t punishing you. It’s protecting you. That “hold on to energy” signal comes from chronically elevated insulin, the hormone that decides whether your body stores or burns fat.
In this episode of The Glucose Diaries™, Stephanie explains how your metabolism changes in your 30s, 40s, and beyond and why what used to work stops working. You’ll learn how declining muscle mass, shifting hormones (especially estrogen), stress, and poor sleep all raise insulin and push your body into fat-storage mode—even if your calories haven’t changed. When insulin is high, the fat-burning switch flips off.
Stephanie also shares three proven ways to flip that switch back on and rebuild a metabolism that works with you again:
1️⃣ Prioritize protein — aim for 30–40 g per meal, especially at breakfast, to stabilize blood sugar and support muscle.
2️⃣ Lift weights — muscle is your metabolic engine; more muscle = better glucose control and more fat burning.
3️⃣ Stop grazing — give your body 3–4 hours between meals so insulin can drop and fat burning can resume.
If you’ve been searching “why am I gaining weight even though I eat healthy,” “how to fix my metabolism after 40,” “how to lower insulin naturally,” or “how hormones affect fat loss,” this episode will finally make it all make sense.
