Why is lower belly fat so stubborn?

Fat cells in the stomach area have a higher amount of alpha receptors, which makes them more stubborn to get rid of. This is why when you start a fat loss program, you see results in the face, arms and chest before you lose the belly fat.

What Causes Belly Fat and Why is Stomach Fat So Stubborn?

When talking to people about weight loss, they usually associate it with fat loss. If you ask people which area they would like to focus their fat loss on, most would tell you they'd like to lose belly fat. Fat loss in this area can be tough. In fact, belly fat loss occurs at a slower rate than other body fat. There are a number of factors that contribute to this. Dubbed the spare tire, love handles or muffin top, stubborn belly fat is anything but cute. You’ll likely see magazines and websites littered with tips to lose belly fat, but it’s smart to understand why it’s there in the first place. Here’s how it takes up residence on your valuable body’s real estate: For one, there are more fat cells in the belly and they don't respond to lipolysis (the fat breakdown process) as easily as fat cells in other areas of the body. The primary reason for this is the type of receptors found in belly fat cells. Fat cells contain 2 types of receptors; alpha and beta receptors. Basically, alpha receptors slow lipolysis down and beta receptors trigger lipolysis. Fat cells in the stomach area have a higher amount of alpha receptors, which makes them more stubborn to get rid of. This is why when you start a fat loss program, you see results in the face, arms and chest before you lose the belly fat. Another reason may be the foods you're eating. Eating 'saturated fats', such as monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats at proper levels, can actually help you reduce belly fat. Avocados, olive oil and salmon all fall under these categories of fats, so make sure you add them or similar foods to your diet every day. Trans fats found in most processed foods can cause inflammation, weight gain and even lead to heart disease. Eating processed foods, such as refined grains and sugars are typically packed with calories and lead to an excess of fat storage in our bodies. Sugary foods, such as sweets, soda and fruit juice reduce your ability to burn fat, so try and eliminate these types of foods from your diet every day to lose fat. Don’t have time for exercise? Then don’t complain about belly fat, say experts. An inactive lifestyle makes it hard for a person to get rid of excess fat, particularly around the belly. Thankfully, we have some exercises that fit into any busy schedule. Stay tuned for more to come in this area!

Stress is another factor related to adding more fat around your middle section and is a given in most of our lives. Stress hormones actually encourage your body to store more of that hard to lose belly fat. When we choose to manage our stress rather than letting it manage us however, we take back control. Family and work obligations, difficult relationships and limited time on our hands means cortisol levels can spike. This leads to making poor decisions like indulging in comfort food or being glued to electronics. Even worse, cortisol encourages excess calories to turn into fat that remains around the belly. Talk about a double-whammy! It may be easier said than done, but reducing your stress levels does help with fat loss, not to mention your overall well being. The last factor we'll mention here is age. As we get older, our metabolism slows down and fewer calories are needed by the body to maintain functionality. If adjustments aren't made to what and how much you are eating, you are more likely to accumulate more fat throughout your body. So, if you're looking to lose belly fat, you may need a little extra help. Read on to learn how we help with belly fat loss.
