3 ways to burn off stubborn body fat

The most effective methods of shedding body fat that just won’t seem to go

Most of you will know what we mean by stubborn body fat. It can be found in different parts of the body for everyone, but most commonly it’s that pesky little paunch found in the lower stomach area, covering up the six-pack and causing an annoying shape at the base of your t-shirt.

Fat of the stubborn variety has a far higher density of alpha-receptors compared to betas, receives less blood flow than stubborn fat and is a lot more insulin sensitive. Subcutaneous fat is more stubborn than visceral fat (the fat around your organs) or intramuscular fat (the fat in your muscle).

Dieting in the traditional way is a recipe for making stubborn fat more greedy and stingy. Dieting may be making your fat parts fatter. To stop dieting you simply do one of two things. You either eat less and exercise less (ELEL) or you eat more and exercise more (EMEM). What you don't do is continue eating less and exercising more.
