4 Things Stopping you Lose Stubborn Fat
As Jeremy Ethier explains, “For most of us, our stubborn fat areas tend to be the lower belly, love handles, and lower back fat that we can’t seem to get rid of. There is a scientific explanation to why stubborn fat reduction is so challenging.
These areas receive less blood flow and contain fat cells that are more stubborn to burn off compared to other areas of our body. So, getting rid of your stubborn fat belly and lower back will still require a great deal of patience and perseverance.”
He outlines four major reasons in his video why many people can’t seem to lose the weight from these areas.

Once you master this step you will have gained a significant piece of knowledge that will help you on your journey to a new you.
Poor Calorie Management (6:16)
This is another great point, describing the transition and journey, “As you get leaner and are now also likely eating less calories than you were in the beginning of your diet, you have much less wiggle room for your calories.
This means that you’re going to have to opt for high volume, nutrient-dense, low calorie foods that will provide the best bang for your buck in terms of suppressing your hunger, boosting your daily energy levels, and speeding up your recovery.”
