How to eliminate stubborn abdominal fat
You lose three kilos, your shirt fits better, but the belly is still there.
It is the most repeated complaint I receive. And it almost always stems from the same error: measuring progress with the scale.
In the abdomen, there are two different types of fat. The kind you can pinch with your fingers and the kind that surrounds your organs, deep inside, where you cannot reach.
That second type, visceral fat, is the one most linked to metabolic problems. And it responds to exercise even if you do not diet.
A meta-analysis published in PLoS One gathered 15 trials with 852 overweight or obese adults who exercised without calorie restriction.
Exercise reduced visceral fat as measured by a scan. Moderate or high-intensity aerobic exercise showed the greatest potential, in both men and women, as early as 12 weeks in.
The trials were different from one another, with diverse protocols and durations, so there is no exact recipe. But the direction is consistent.
The detail that matters: nobody judged progress by weight. They measured the fat surrounding the organs, which the scale cannot distinguish.
That is why the scale is a poor measuring stick for this fat.
Second point: what worked was full-body aerobic exercise, not an exercise designed for the belly.
What you do control is that stimulus, the strength you maintain, and the consistency over months, not weeks.
Stubborn belly fat is almost never a problem of effort. It is a problem of measuring what does not matter.
Your 1% improvement for today.
Measure your waist circumference at the level of the belly button, while fasting, and write it down. It is an approximation, not a scan, but repeat it every month and compare that figure, not the scale.
This is what I cover in the workshop: In the workshop, I teach you how to measure your waist and real progress, and how to set up the aerobic routine that attacks visceral fat.
