Is that stubborn belly fat refusing to budge, no matter how much you crunch or restrict? 😩 You're not alone, and it's NOT your fault!
As a dietitian and fat loss coach, I see so many incredible women trapped in the cycle of endless diets and frustrating workouts, feeling defeated because that last bit of belly fat just won't go. Here’s the clinical truth, without the fluff: doing 100 crunches a day won't melt your belly fat, because spot reduction is a myth. Your body doesn't burn fat from one specific area – it mobilizes fat from all over.
The real culprits behind stubborn fat loss in women often involve more than just calories in vs. calories out. We need to talk about hormone health and how factors like chronic stress elevate cortisol, encouraging fat storage around your midsection. And yes, insulin resistance can make your body cling to fat, making it harder to access those stores for energy, even when you're in a calorie deficit.
The truth is, genuine, sustainable nutrition and weight loss isn't about deprivation; it's about optimizing your body's natural processes. Healthy fat loss is a gradual journey, typically 0.5kg-1kg (1-2 lbs) per week. Impatience often leads to extreme, restrictive diets that inevitably end in burnout and bingeing – a cycle that sabotages your progress and impacts your women's health long-term.
It's time to shift focus from quick fixes to empowered, lasting results. Understanding your body is the first step to unlocking true, sustainable fat loss.
