What is stubborn fat?
Stubborn fat refers to adipose tissue that is particularly challenging to lose through diet and
exercise, even when following the appropriate measures. Scientific research suggests that
these areas of stubborn fat exhibit increased resistance to fat burning. This resistance is
attributed to their role as energy storage depots within the body and their physiological
predisposition to resist fat burning, making them the last areas to be depleted.
What causes stubborn fat?
The development of localised adipose tissue, commonly referred to as “belly fat,” can be influenced by various factors, including genetics. Studies have demonstrated that certain individuals have a genetic predisposition to store more fat in their abdominal area, making it more difficult to lose. Additionally, irregular dietary habits, consumption of processed foods, excessive alcohol intake, and other unhealthy lifestyle habits can contribute to the accumulation of abdominal fat.
