Steps to Lose Stubborn Fat

Exercise, diet, and hormone control.

1. Diet! Adipose tissue releases hormones like leptin, which controls our appetite. Your pancreases release insulin every time you eat, which is the fat-storing hormone. Ghrelin is your hunger hormone and if it’s too high, you will snack all day without feeling full. Eat 3 whole meals per day, avoiding snacks. Practice intermittent Fasting 3-4 times per week, keeping 16/8 fasting window. Of course, you need to cut sugar and processed foods. You can still eat treats but limiting them to 15% of your daily meal plan where 85% is healthy food.

2. Gain Muscle Mass: As your muscle mass increases, you require more energy to maintain it, so you will also burn more fat. Try HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training) which targets both visceral and subcutaneous fat, and it’s a great and quick way to build muscle and stamina while burning fat quickly and efficiently!

3. Sleep at least 7-9 hours per day. You burn calories during the sleep and your hunger hormone, decreases when you sleep enough. Besides, your stress-hormone cortisol also drops when your body gets a nice rest.

Girl, we all have fat but you need to understand that you need 18-25 body fat percentage. If it’s higher, you’re facing health issues and are closer to Type 2 Diabetes. Eat whole natural foods, exercise, and sleep! Good luck on your Journey!
