Stubborn Fat

Stubborn fat is a condition that affects many people and appears as pockets of pinchable fat on various areas of the body, stubborn fat is usually a result of a buildup of fatty tissue in an isolated area.

Both men and women can be affected, and it is often caused by weight gain, a direct result of consuming more calories than will be naturally used up by the body. Also, it is frequently seen in women after childbirth when trying to return to their pre-pregnancy weight.

The ageing process and changes in hormone levels can affect how the body effectively burns off consumed calories, contributing to weight gain. 

Keeping fit and staying in shape is something that many people work hard to maintain, by eating a healthy balanced diet and regular exercise. Although many people can get rid of any extra pounds that they put on, in some cases these unwanted fatty deposits are difficult to shift, despite their most concerted efforts.

In some instances, losing weight through a low-calorie diet and regular exercise may not satisfy people since our body’s fat distribution pattern is equally important. 

Stubborn fat in the most commonly affected areas such as hips, thighs, stomach, chin, upper arms and back; can cause a lot of frustration for the affected person, resulting in issues surrounding body image and lack of confidence.

Indeed, all available local fat reduction methods work only in conjunction with a low-calorie diet and regular exercise.  In this case, not only may eradicate significant amounts of excess fat, they can help to give the body a more desirable shape, restoring any lost confidence.
