Abdominal Fat More Difficult to Lose

A new study analyzed the amount of abdominal and liver fat¹ in 243 people and then put them on a diet along with moderate exercise.  Those who lost the most weight had the least amount of problematic fat in the first place.  This helps explain why some people have a more difficult time losing weight than others.

Abdominal fat is much more inflammatory than other fat accumulation around your body.  We know that abdominal fat also signifies an increase in liver fat, which literally clogs a major metabolic organ.  In this case getting on track requires more than cutting back on calories and doing some moderate exercise, as the type of weight that needs to be lost is more metabolically stubborn.

This means there needs to be an increase in nutrients, especially those helping to reduce white adipose tissue inflammation and those that help a person perform and recover from a higher level of consistent aerobic exercise that is more intense.  If you aren’t in good enough shape to do that kind of exercise then your primary goal should be to gradually work your way up to that level of fitness as you will actually need it to recover from a sluggish and congested metabolic problem.
