Insulin Resistance: Herbed Salmon with Roasted Brussels and Chickpea Mash
✅ Insulin Resistance Benefits: This meal is ideal for improving insulin sensitivity because it’s high in protein, fiber, anti-inflammatory fats, and blood sugar–stabilizing nutrients: 🐟 Wild-Caught Salmon (4 fillets) Packed with omega-3s (EPA/DHA) that reduce inflammation, a root cause of insulin resistance Rich in protein, which promotes satiety and stable blood sugar High in vitamin D and B12, both linked to better insulin regulation 🥬 Brussels Sprouts (3 cups, halved) Cruciferous vegetable high in fiber, helping slow glucose absorption Contains sulforaphane, which supports liver detox and hormone metabolism Low glycemic and high volume—helps keep you full without spiking insulin 🥫 Chickpeas (1 can, no salt, rinsed) Complex carbs + plant-based protein + fiber = excellent for stabilizing blood sugar Rich in magnesium, folate, and zinc, which support glucose metabolism 🥄 Tahini + Olive Oil + Lemon Juice Tahini: Source of healthy fats, calcium, and plant sterols, which improve insulin sensitivity Olive oil: Anti-inflammatory monounsaturated fat that improves glucose response Lemon juice + zest: Rich in vitamin C, which reduces oxidative stress and supports adrenal health
