Your Stubborn Fat Is History!

Posted on June 3 2010 by myrealnet

It is so iritating to get all the way through a weight loss program and still see lots of fat bits To make matters worse, fat always seems to stay put on the areas of your body you don’t like. If that’s your diet experience, you’ve probably got stubborn fat. While it’s good to know that stubbron fat is usually only a fraction of your overall body fat, the fact that it resists all efforts to reduce it can be demorolising.

Regardless, the question is how do we get rid of it? That’s not quite as easy to answer as normal fat burning because there are many more side issues when you’re trying to burn stubborn fat. The stubborn stuff tends to be more dense, with fewer blood vessels. The lack of blood flow is the main cause of its stubborn resistance to fat burning. However, everyone should be aware the body can burn it. The feedback from your bathroom mirror won’t be as dramatic. The key is to stay tuned to the fact you are losing it, no matter how slowly it seems to shift. Stick with it and you will get rid of it.

Physiologists believe stubborn fat resides in cells that have seen previous fat gain/loss cycles. Adults over 25 who have battled with weight problems before are likely to have some stubborn fat that will be hard to remove. In rare cases, even drastic surgary can fail. Some liposuction patients complain the fat is gone today and back tomorrow.

What’s required to get rid of this pest is a focus on fat burning, especially at those times of day when the body is obliged to burn fat when at all possible. Try these ideas, or for more detail click  aerobics for weight loss. Exercise in the morning before breakfast. This will ensure your stored glycogen levels are at their lowest, guaranteeing a great fat burn once you hit the cardio zone. If your muscles are forced to work before breakfast at your fat burning heart rate ((220-your age) x0.75) it will definitely burn fat, including stubborn fat. It will in fact be more inclined to do so because there’s no other energy source available until the first meal of the day.

If you can’t bear to get up early and workout, use weights instead, but target the bigger muscle groups like your legs, shoulders and back. To burn fat, you need to cause tiny rips and tears in the muscles during training sessions. (the term “getting ripped” means exactly that!). Spend 10 to 15 minutes 3 times a week with weights that are close to 80% of your heaviest lift. You’ll notice greater muscle density in the first week of this type of routine, in addition to some spectacular fat loss. The energy for the repair process comes from burning fat while you sleep at night. It goes without saying, that you should be watching your food intake at this time too. Click eat smart and lose stubborn fat for some great ideas on combining exercise and food to keep you slim.

Don’t give up and fall for those gimmicks that promise you’ll lose weight from target areas like your thighs. Concentrate weight training efforts on the larger muscle groups and you’ll create more demand for energy from fat during REM sleep. Your stubborn fat will diminish at a slow, predictable rate, so keep to the program and some day it will be gone completely!
