There are actually two different types of fat that you deal with around the midsection: subcutaneous fat and visceral fat.
Subcutaneous fat is just under the skin and it has a protective role. Visceral fat, on the other hand, is associated with diabetes, heart disease, increased blood pressure, insulin resistant, etc. It is also typically the hardest to get rid of!
You can go to the gym, target your stomach, but still have that tire around the belly. So how do you target it? Hint: It’s not from doing an ab workout!
Try this instead:
– Increase your protein over all!
– Protein at night before bed: this helps support the growth hormone, boosts your metabolism and helps burn fat throughout the night.
– Intermittent Fasting FOR WOMEN. Fasting the correct way can be a great way to target belly fat
– High intensity interval training!
These four areas will help immensely when targeting belly fat!
If you are interested in how I teach women to work on these factors and work with their bodies, fill out the link in the comments! I would love to chat with you.
