Smart Weight Control Tools
Most weight loss programs focus on eating less, exercising more, and tracking every calorie. That never worked for me – and honestly, it made things worse.
Instead of chasing the scale, I started focusing on the root cause of fat storage: blood sugar instability and insulin resistance. When I learned how to lower insulin naturally with fasting and stabilize my glucose with Balance, things finally started to shift.
Weight started coming off without obsession, stress, or restriction – just better blood sugar control, appetite balance, and metabolic signals that worked with my body, not against it.
What I Use
- Unimate – a high-purity yerba mate extract that helps extend my fasts, suppress appetite, and boost energy without a crash
- Balance – a pre-meal fiber matrix that supports healthy glucose metabolism and helps blunt post-meal blood sugar spikes
- Intermittent fasting (usually 16:8) – this helps me lower insulin levels, reduce cravings, and burn fat more efficiently
- Libre 3 CGM – shows me real-time blood sugar data so I can adjust what I eat, when I fast, and how I stack my tools
- Etekcity Smart Scale – tracks weight, BMI, hydration, and fat % daily through my phone
- Google Pixel Watch 3 – monitors sleep, steps, heart rate, and keeps me accountable with automatic syncing
- Apps I Use:
- Samsung Health – my core dashboard for everything
- Health Sync – syncs my data across platforms
- Fitbit – wearable stats integration
- Libre 3 – blood glucose tracking
- Google Fit – backup health data system
- MyFitnessPal – occasional food tracking
- MyDiabetes – symptom logs and journaling
- Medisafe – medication schedule reminders
- Sydney Health – provider access and benefits
- VeSync – connects with my Etekcity smart scale
- Froedtert & MCW MyChart – lab results and aftercare tracking
Stacking These Tools with My Protocol
Everything I do is built on habits – Unimate in the morning, Balance before my biggest meal, fasting most of the day, and clean, low-glycemic food choices. These tools support those habits by giving me visibility, feedback, and motivation.
I don’t always get it perfect – but these tools help me course-correct fast and stay focused.
