Insulin Resistance Nutrition Programme in Beylikdüzü
Insulin resistance means cells respond less to insulin, disturbing blood-sugar balance; it shows as post-meal sleepiness, sugar cravings and abdominal fat. At Sone Wellbeing Unit in Beylikdüzü, Istanbul, after a medical diagnosis, a dietitian builds a programme focused on meal regularity, carbohydrate quality, protein and fibre, and post-meal movement.

Frequently asked questions
What are the signs of insulin resistance?
Common signs are strong sleepiness after meals, frequent sugar or carbohydrate cravings, difficulty losing weight around the abdomen, darkened skin patches on the neck or armpits and, in women, irregular periods linked to polycystic ovary syndrome. Only blood tests ordered by a doctor can confirm it; these signs are a reason to ask.
How does nutrition help reverse insulin resistance?
Nutrition is the core of treatment. Balancing each meal with protein, fibre and healthy fat, choosing whole grains over refined ones, spacing meals sensibly and reducing sugary drinks all lower the insulin demand after eating. Combined with regular movement and adequate sleep, many people see their blood values improve within a few months.
Can I eat fruit if I have insulin resistance?
Yes. Whole fruit in moderate portions, ideally with a meal or alongside nuts or yoghurt, is fine for most people. Fruit juice, large amounts of dried fruit and smoothies raise blood sugar much faster and are best limited. Your plan sets portions that suit your test results and daily routine.
Is bread forbidden with insulin resistance?
No. Bread is not banned; the type, amount and its place in the meal are adjusted. Wholegrain or sourdough bread eaten after protein and vegetables produces a much gentler blood sugar rise than white bread eaten alone. This approach is easier to sustain than cutting out a staple food entirely.
How long does an insulin resistance nutrition programme take?
Most programmes run three to six months with follow-ups every two to four weeks, since blood values change gradually. The first weeks focus on meal structure and cravings; later visits fine-tune the plan using repeat tests from your doctor. Insulin resistance nutrition support in Beylikdüzü works alongside your medical treatment.
