Why Five Days of Training Impacts Fat Loss, A1C, PCOS, and Fibroid Growth Signals
There’s no way around it…If you want fat loss and muscle gain to occur together, exercise must be repeated consistently. Especially resistance training. Here’s why.
After resistance training, muscle increases GLUT4 transporter activity and improves insulin sensitivity for about 24 to 48 hours.
If training is sporadic, insulin sensitivity rises briefly and then returns to baseline.
When insulin stays elevated chronically, it can contribute to:
• Suppressed fat burning
• More visceral fat storage
• Liver fat accumulation
• Consistently rising A1C
• Ovarian overstimulation such as in PCOS
• mTOR driven smooth muscle growth such as in fibroids
Five days per week of repeated muscle contraction helps creates continuity, lowers baseline insulin over time, and reduces growth pressure across tissues.
Two days per week helps. Five days per week begins to change the baseline.
As baseline insulin declines:
Fat becomes easier to burn. Glucose control improves. Growth signaling from hormones becomes more intermittent rather than constant.
Fat loss becomes predictable because the hormonal environment shifts.
If your effort is high but your frequency is inconsistent, the signal may have trouble with stabilization.
I will help you assess your metabolic markers and design a strategy that lead to changes in your baseline.
Because when you lower growth signalling from insulin and other factors consistently, the system adapts.
