Stubborn Fat Won't Go Away?

Are you trying to lose stubborn body fat that will not seem to go away? Here are a few things to tweak in your training program if you want to lose body fat and keep it off for good:

Nutrition - Drop the sweets, refined flour products and stop snacking on carbs before bed. When it comes to keeping body fat away it is important you balance your insulin levels and eat complex carbs like veggies, potatoes and brown rice. Snacking on carbs before you go to sleep also inhibits your body's ability to burn fat over night so snack on a lean protein source or slam down a spoonful of peanut butter before bed and you're set!

Resistance Training - If you're trying to lose fat and you're not resistance training then you are fighting a losing battle. Weight training isn't just for muscle heads anymore, its for anyone and everyone looking to maintain a healthy metabolism and keep body fat away. Resistance training burns calories during and after your workout and can increase your resting metabolism in the long run. As a bonus pumping iron releases youthful hormones like testosterone and growth hormone which can boost your sex drive and keep you feeling young.

Cardio - STOP running, cycling and thrashing around on the elliptical trainer in the "fat burning" zone for 45 minutes to an hour. START interval training alternating between high intensity and low intensity bursts of activity for 20-30 minutes 3-4 times a week.
