That "tubey" look may reflect insulin resistance. While your instinct might be to adopt a low-carb diet, it doesn't fix the problem. What's more, a chronic low-carb diet leaves your muscle-building capabilities impaired. What you need to do instead is optimize insulin sensitivity: At the start of a meal, eat some protein and fat before you even touch any carbohydrate. This strategy, according to research, leads to significantly lower blood sugar levels (29%, 37%, and 17% lower at 30, 60, and 120 minutes after a meal) than eating carbs first. (You should, however, flip-flop the strategy during meals around your workout and eat some carbs before eating protein.) Take 400 to 600 mg. of Cyandin 3-Glucoside (C3G) before your biggest meal of the day. C3G is a naturally occurring anthocyanin. When isolated and taken in hugely concentrated form, it has powerful blood-glucose lowering properties that can go a long way in treating the fat waist caused by insulin insensitivity. Use high-quality fish oil liberally. New studies show that not only does it rival the effects of exercise on blood sugar, but when combined with exercise, actually has a synergistic effect on blood sugar reduction. Take two tablespoons of apple cider vinegar before bed, as studies have shown that it can lower morning blood sugar by 4 to 6 percent. Take one teaspoon of psyllium fiber twice a day. It can lower all-day blood sugar levels by 11 percent.
