Hi BBM Crew!

I was wondering if there were any recommendations you have on increasing insulin sensitivity?

For context, I am 24, current weight is between 205-210lbs @ 5’11 @ ~18-20% body fat (I am guessing here, but I still have visible upper abs and waist sits at 33). I am also running the 12 week strength template and am currently eating 5 meals a day, 3 of which have 60+ carbs in them.

Wishing you all the best for this year!
