How to burn tough fat

When you lose fat, there are parts of your body that resist. This is how you have to burn them.

The lower part of the abdomen. Thighs “Handles of love.” You know what we are talking about. You lose weight, you get fit, but there are still parts of your body where fat grips tightly.

Can you identify the difficult areas? Arnold Schwarzenegger, before becoming governor, had a very simple test: stand in front of a mirror. Jump If it moves like a flan, it is fat.

Why does fat resist?

The first thing is to understand that not all fat in your body is the same. Fat cells have so-called adrenergic receptors on their membranes. They function as “antennae” that receive chemical signals and tell the cell what to do: break down fat and expel it from the cell, or keep it.

There are two types of adrenergic receptors. The beta receptors cause the fat cell to initiate lipolysis, that is, to release fatty acids to use as energy for other cells. On the other hand, alpha receptors inhibit lipolysis, that is, they make them retain fat.

The subcutaneous fat of the resistant parts has more alpha receptors than beta. It is the fat found in the abdomen and lower back in men and on the thighs in women. Also, in these parts, there is less blood flow. So when you’re losing fat, it takes a lot more work to get the fat out of the fat cells in these areas. Cells have few “antennas” and do not receive enough signals. They are deaf fat cells.

First step: mobilization of fat

The first thing to do to burn that difficult fat is to get it out of the cell. We will do this by increasing the level of chemical signals received by the receptors.

The messengers for these signals are compounds called catecholamines, adrenaline, and noradrenaline. If those deaf cells don’t get the signals, you will have to increase the catecholamine levels in your body. The most effective way is an intense exercise, at a high level close to 100% of your capacity. Gentle exercises fail to mobilize fat from difficult parts.

In addition, in your fat cells, there are other receptors in charge of detecting insulin levels… Insulin not only stops the cell from releasing fatty acids, but it also directs the cell to store more fat. You need to have low insulin levels for this to work. This is achieved by limiting carbohydrate intake before exercise, or even better, avoiding eating anything three hours before.

Second step: burn mobilized fat

Getting the fat out of the cell is only half the job. Now you have to burn it. Otherwise, those fatty acids would run around your bloodstream, latching onto albumin molecules, and then back into the fat cells just as they left.

Using fat for fuel is a slower and more expensive process than using sugar. Once they reach the muscle cells, the fatty acids are processed by the mitochondria, which oxidize them and extract energy from them so that the cell contracts. Fat oxidation is more difficult if your muscles have glycogen stores, which is a much easier fuel to burn. The intense exercise from before helps to deplete glycogen stores so there is no choice but to use up the fat.

To burn the mobilized fat you should not continue with very aggressive exercise, because the fat would not oxidize quickly enough, and your body would start to burn muscle instead. It is the moment to exercise more gently, that costs work, but that allows you to talk.

Strategic attack on resistant grease

If you have understood all of the above, this is the plan to end stubborn fat:

• Do not eat anything in the three hours before exercising. Better if you do it on an empty stomach in the morning.
• Drink plenty of water and if you want green tea to help mobilize fat.
• You can do the exercise program by running, on a stationary bike, elliptical, climbing hills, or any other activity that allows you to regulate the intensity.
• Exercise
• 5-minute warm-up: start walking and gradually increase your speed until you reach a light jog
• 6 x intervals: sprint for 30 seconds, then walk for one minute. Repeat six times. Thus, fat is mobilized and glycogen is eliminated in the muscles.
• 1-minute cooldown: walk gently
• 20 minutes of steady-pace cardio to burn mobilized fat
• Jog at a smooth and steady pace so that your heart rate is in the zone close to 60% of your maximum.
• Do this routine two to three times a week, every other day with strength exercise, such as weights.
