Many of us have experienced what it’s like to have stubborn areas of fat that won’t seem to go away. It’s not a pleasant thing to experience, and it can seem like there’s no solution. That’s not necessarily the case though. There are plenty of things you can do to finally shift that stubborn body fat, and we’re going to discuss some of the best ideas today. So read on and learn more about them.

5 Ways To Help Finally Shift Problem Weight Areas

Many of us have trouble areas that we can't seem to shift no matter how much we try. Here are 5 tips to help you finally get rid of stubborn body fat.

Start by Maintaining a Healthy Calorie Deficit

If you want to lose weight, you need to understand that that’s something that can only happen when you have a calorie deficit. That means you’re burning more calories that you’re consuming. That might seem obvious but it’s the most fundamental aspect of weight loss and you won’t get very far at all without it. So take a look at your diet and try to track the calories you’re consuming.

There are lots of apps for your mobile phone that can help you do that. If you want to do it old school, pen and paper work too. Don’t forget those snacks and drinks! They may account for a ton of empty calories you didn’t even realize you were consuming.

Identify Unhelpful Behaviours and Lifestyle Choices

Even when you want to get healthy and lose some body fat, there are probably things you’re doing that are not the best and not particularly good for you. It’s often difficult to face up to and accept those unhelpful behaviours and lifestyle choices and then do something about them. Change is difficult and we all struggle with it at times, but change is probably necessary if you want to lose weight.

The best way to identify your bad habits is to log all of your activities (or non-activity lol) and everything you eat. A week of information should give you a good snapshot of your daily routines, including work and rest days. You should be able to see patterns and look for opportunities to make better choices in the future.

Lift Weights

Building muscle as you lose fat can help a lot. You’ll essentially be replacing the fat with muscle, making you feel both leaner and stronger at the same time. So if you’re not doing so already, you should probably think about lifting some weights on a regular basis. Make it part of your workout routine and you’ll start to notice a difference pretty quickly.

You-tube is a great resource if you are a beginner. There are many over 50 ladies there that will get you started with proper form.

Try Intermittent Fasting

Intermittent fasting is something that works well for a lot of people. It’s implemented in lots of different ways. A lot of people try to restrict their eating to a four hour period during the day and for the other 20 hours, they don’t eat. Other people make it more relaxed or more extreme depending on their preferences. Some people fast and add juice or coffee or fasting tea to help with the process and reduce hunger.

If you have any medical issues, it is a good idea to check with your doctor before you start any new diet or exercise practice.

Give Your Body the Sleep it Needs

Finally, you should make sure that your body is getting enough sleep and rest each night. This is when your body processes changes and recovers from the hard work that you’re putting in, so it’s really important to make sure that you’re getting enough sleep each and every night. Go to bed earlier and give your body that rest if you’re not currently sleeping enough.

As you can see, there are many options to consider if you’re looking to achieve a healthier weight and rid yourself of stubborn excess body fat that’s been bothering you for a long time. Getting these issues under control will not only help your confidence but improve your general health too.
