Stubborn Fat Removal

Stubborn fat refer to fat that is almost impossible to lose through diet and exercise even with the right consistency

Scientifically more resistant to fat burning as they function as stores of energy for the body and are physiologically primed to resist fat burn

Everyone has this type of fat, and how it appears on our bodies is down to genetics. It is all about the distribution of fat around the body.

For example, men are more likely to accumulate fat in the stomach due to higher testosterone circulation and women are more likely to accumulate fat in the thighs and buttocks due to higher estrogen circulation.

Adipocytes, also known as fat cells are cells that primarily compose adipose tissue which is specialized in storing energy as fat.
When we undergo extreme diet and exercise, we utilize more energy, thus emptying out these fat cells. BUT why does our fat distribution over our body look the same?

When we lose weight, the fat cells get emptied out and they remain in the body. In the event where diet and exercise stops, these fat cells get filled up relatively quickly and results in a high comeback rate.
