Insulin resistance: why weight feels stuck, in plain words

Mostly false. It makes fat loss harder, not impossible. Your body still follows the calorie rule. Insulin resistance does push your body to store fat more easily and burn it slower, but the main medical treatment is exactly exercise and weight loss. So weight loss is the fix, not a lost cause.
