Trying to burn fat from your belly?
-
Love handles or thighs?
-
Feels impossible, right?
-
That's because you've been lied to.
-
"Spot reduction"
-
is a myth, no amount of planks or miracle creams will melt fat from one specific area.
-
If they worked,
-
we'd all be walking around with six packs from laughing at bad fitness advice.
-
At this point, we might as well rebrand from Yellow Dude to Yellow Clown.
-
But don't worry, burning stubborn fat is possible.
-
Here's what works.
-
Fat loss doesn't happen in just one place, it happens everywhere at once.
-
Your body decides where it burns fat first and last.
-
And that's based on genetics.
-
Some people lose weight from their face first, while others see changes in their arms or legs.
-
But one thing is always true, the stubborn fat you care about most is the last to go.
-
And this is why most people fail.
-
They start dieting, but when their biggest problem area doesn't shrink fast enough, they assume they're doing something wrong.
-
They quit too soon, when in reality, they just needed more time.
-
So today, let's break down why fat loss works like this, what you can do to speed up the process, and why the real secret isn't what you think.
-
You don't get to choose where fat comes off first.
-
It's like trying to drain a swimming pool by picking which part of the water level drops first.
-
It doesn't work that way.
-
Your body burns fat systemically, meaning from everywhere at the same time, but in different amounts.
-
For men, stubborn fat usually sticks around the stomach and love handles.
-
Because clearly, nature decided dad bods were the peak of evolution.
-
For women, it's more likely to be hips, thighs, and butt.
-
And then there's face and neck fat, which no one is safe from.
-
Ever gained a few pounds and instantly noticed your face puffing up?
-
Exactly, it's like your body wants to announce to the world that you've been enjoying life a little too much.
-
This all comes down to genetics.
-
Your body has preferred spots to store fat, and those same spots will be the last to burn, it's frustrating, but it's reality.
-
Let's keep this simple, the only way to lose stubborn fat is to lose all fat.
-
No exercise cream or detox tea will change this.
-
You need to be in a calorie deficit.
-
Burning more calories than you consume, or eating less than you burn.
-
Same concept, just depends on whether you want to feel like a disciplined athlete or a victim of portion control.
-
And here's where people mess up, they expect their stubborn area to shrink first instead of last.
-
It won't, at first you'll notice fat loss in places you don't even care about, your arms, face, or maybe even your calves.
-
That's normal.
-
But you get impatient and quit after a while.
-
This is why most people fail, because they don't see immediate changes in their problem areas.
-
But if you just stay in a calorie deficit, the fat has to come off, it's simple biology.
-
Since you can't target fat loss, your best move is to build muscle in those areas.
-
This won't burn fat from that spot faster.
-
But it will make the area look better as fat reduces.
-
Struggling with belly fat, train abs, not to burn fat, but to define your core underneath it.
-
Holding fat in your legs, train legs, build muscle so they look strong when the fat is gone.
-
Face looks puffy, sorry, there's no face workout for that, just keep losing fat.
-
Unless you count aggressively chewing gum, which spoiler won't help either.
-
A calorie deficit plus strength training is the fastest way to burn stubborn fat.
-
It won't happen overnight.
-
But if you stay consistent, it will happen.
-
Fat loss is simple.
-
But it's not easy.
-
You can burn stubborn fat, but only if you stay patient and stick to a calorie deficit long enough.
-
Most people quit right before they would have seen results.
-
Don't be that person.
-
No, we don't have a diet guide.
-
What we do have is the calisthenics playbook, which helps you build strength.
-
And unlock cool moves like one arm pushups.
-
And by the time you're done, your physique will be so much better, you might just forgive us for not having a diet guide.
