Stubborn Body Fat and How To Deal with It

If you are someone that eats well the majority of the time, and does exercise a lot, but still have some areas of stubborn body fat that you’d rather get rid of, then there will be some changes that you need to start making. For example, understanding metabolism is a good idea, as well as having a good overview of nutrition and what works best for your body. In fact, things like hormones can also play a part, so if you find that you are quite stressed more often than not, then that could be a reason why you’re not losing fat from the parts of your body that you want to be. There is a lot more than just calorie deficiency to look at. So here are some things to help.

Stop dieting

If you start to move from a state of mind that is all about eating less and exercising more, to changing to more of an eat less and exercise less mindset, then it can make a difference. The same goes for exercising more and eating more; these new mindsets can help to fight the metabolic compensation that can be going on in your body.

Cycle your diet

So by diet here, it is referring to what you eat. But it is all about mixing it up. If you look to cycle what you eat, so that at some times you have more food and exercise compared to other things, then it can help you to build muscle and burn fat. And if you have stubborn areas of fat, then that is what you will need to do. These kinds of cycle can help you from becoming skinny, but fat internally, and will also avoid any bulking up, if that is not what you want to do. These kinds of cycles can also help to fight the metabolic compensation.

Target the Area

There are several options of things that you can do to target the stubborn areas of fat that you want to focus on. There are supplements that you can take, as well as visiting places like BodEnvy for a little extra help along the way. There are also certain things that you can do in your exercise and lifestyle that can make a difference, such as the exercises that you do, to simply how you stand and your posture. 

Mindfulness

As has been mentioned, hormones can have a big impact on your weight. And if you are someone who is in a state of stress a lot of the time, then your body is just ready for ‘fight or flight’ all of the time, which isn’t going to help at all. So think about the things that you can do to reduce how stressed you feel. Things like yoga and meditation can help, as well as cutting out certain things that cause stress if they can be cut out from your life. But mindfulness is something that can be done throughout the day, to focus the mind, and to reduce that stressed feeling.
