The more you look at it the more you wish you burn it off like iron ore melting laser eyes. The first step to attacking fat like any enemy understands what it is and its nature.
Not all fat is equal. Now that you are wishing to return to the world where "fat" is fat, it's time to get the point across to your body. Its time to start telling your fat, "Come out already, I know where your are," instead of the standstill, "Come out. Come out, where ever you are." Now that the word is out, let's get started on exercising those nasty fats out of your body.
In fact, there are different types of fats that you need to watch out for – the fat lying underneath your skin (Subcutaneous fat) and the fat surrounding you organs (Visceral fat). Knowing more when it comes to fat can help you in figuring out how to decrease you body fat by dieting and exercise.
Which should you be more worried about, the fat under your skin or that under you muscles? Is thinking about whether your diet and exercise program is for the best causing you to rethink things lately?
Think smart. Learn how you can up the results of your diet and exercise just by understanding more about fat.
Figuring out your body type, to diagnose your fat!
There are two fruits for the human figure which determine how you put on fat.
People characterized by an "apple" shaped figure have more visceral fat which makes it harder to notice at first. Hearing this at first might make you start feeling lucky; however people with this body type if allowed to become obese run a risk of suffering from lifestyle diseases (Type 2 diabetes, heart disease, metabolic syndrome, ect.) leading for it to be keyed in as the "bad fat."
On the other hand, people said to have a "pear" shaped figure have more subcutaneous fat causing it to be stored in areas of the lower body such as the waist, thighs, and buttocks. It is more prominent in woman. The fact that it is easy to stand out makes people with this body type often worry about their weight. However, pear-people run less risk of lifestyle diseases and complications than apple-people, which is why it can be referred to as the "good fat."
Don't let the "goodness" of your body type bother you too much. Just because you are an apple doesn't mean that your fat is untouchable. Pear people too can keep their figure from protruding out of proportion.
How you attack each body type to thin down and maintain your weight differs, so make sure you have a firm grasp on which one you are an apple or a pear.
* Although there may be more apple-men and more pear-women that doesn't mean that there aren't any pear-men and apple-women out there.
