Why 93% Of Women NEVER Lose Belly Fat

What’s the real reason why 93% Of Women Never Lose Belly Fat?
BECAUSE IT’S REALLY…
REALLY…
REALLY HARD!
And because when we feel like results aren’t snowballing,
when we don’t see changes happening on the scale, we feel like the effort doesn’t equal the outcome…
And we QUIT.
But to lose from those oh so stubborn areas…To lose that last little bit…
We often NEED to keep going past the point we want to quit.
We need to stay consistent, be precise with our nutrition and workouts and not give up just because it feels like nothing is happening.
Because the simple fact of the matter is…
It’s not easy to reach a new level of leanness…especially for the first time.
And stubborn areas are stubborn for a reason.
Literally we may see fat being lost from EVERYWHERE else FIRST before we shed that final bit.
We may not see the scale change at all as we are actually getting leaner.
But we will only lose that last little bit of stubborn belly fat if we don’t quit or let little inconsistencies and 1% deviations from our plan start to add up.
We’ve got to embrace the suck of doing something hard and outside our comfort zone.
Which is easier to do when we remember that what you do to reach a goal is not what you’ll do to maintain it.
While we don’t want to sabotage our long-term success with fad diets or crazy 2 a day workout routines, we do need to recognize that not everything we do will feel sustainable.
There is a hard we have to push through before we then transition into maintenance and more of a lifestyle balance.
So now that I’ve sold you on still pursuing your goal of achieving abs so you can be in that 7%
I want to share why some areas are so stubborn to lose from…
Then go over the 2 main struggles you will have to push through…
And finally highlight 4 key tips that can make that 1% difference when you already have the fundamentals dialed in.
So first, why are areas like our stomachs, especially often the lower abs and obliques, so hard to lose from?

Reason we get and stay fat is because it is so incredibly easy to do so. 99% of the products sold in grocery store are slowly killing us while making us fat and sick. Our stressful lives and so comfortable couches are the other drivers. Let's break that cycle. Get sick and tired of being sick and tired! ❤🎉

I've had two children and am over 60yrs. I gained 30-40 pounds during the pandemic lockdown. Just when I thought I was just too old to get back into shape, I finally showed progress. I found that I do need to take breaks from dieting and eat spaghetti and meatballs or whatever once a week and just rest once or twice a week instead of mad exercise several times a day, every day.

@redefiningstrengthOC 10 күн бұрын

YES! It's not just one intensity forever. Diet breaks, "cheat days," refeeds...all help us create balance for consistency long term, which is key. Can't out exercise or out diet time and sometimes backing off and doing the minimum to even keep going helps us find that motivation again to push through a bit more!

@teggypooh 11 күн бұрын

I needed this today! While working out at the gym yesterday, I noticed my upper abs are becoming more defined, but my lower pouch looked bigger. I felt deflated and lost some of my motivation. I couldn't understand why my lower pouch was getting bigger while everything else was getting smaller. I was not looking forward to today's workout. After seeing this, I am ready to hit it hard in the gym today! Saving this to watch as a reminder when I'm feeling less motivated. Thank you for sharing!!!

@redefiningstrengthOC 11 күн бұрын

YES! Because you're losing, and haven't yet lost there, you feel it looks bigger. BUT keep going! You'll start to see changes in those stubborn areas!

@TheBaumcm 11 күн бұрын

I found the lower pouch, due to gravity, is the last to go. I also have extra skin which can take over a year to tighten up, longer and sometimes never the older you are and the longer it was there. It also may be the “everything is relative” function. Consider it a step along the way, as everything we do until the day we die is, much like a puppy who trips over his own ears until he grows into them. Even if it never disappears completely, it doesn’t mean you haven’t worked hard. Focus on the positives.

Thanks for the helpful reminder of "when other places look smaller, the places we don't like look bigger." I think I'm currently at this stage and had felt a bit of a waning in my motivation. Now I feel like I'm kind of on the right path. I will admit though, I really hate core work LOL. Despite that though, when I started my workout journey, I could only hold a plank for about 20 secs, now I can go almost a full minute! Small wins!

I always love a good video that doesn't sell you tons of crap and false hopes. This is the truth you're saying here - good nutrition, good exercise, and quality over quantity. I would add fasting to that equation and you get yourself a very good recipe for a healthy metabolism. Preach!

@redefiningstrengthOC 10 күн бұрын

Those basics are essential. Only because I love nerding out about this I feel the need to say... I honestly would only debate you on the fasting, not because I don't like it (I do and have used it personally based on my specific goals at the time) and I see lots of merit for lots of clients, BUT because one meal timing doesn't work for everyone and you can achieve many of the benefits of fasting in other ways. And for some clients we avoid fasting as it leads to them creating too much restriction or not working with their schedule. All about knowing the options and opportunities in things and then finding what works for us!

Hey Corey, this is a great video-like all your videos. Something I would like to learn more about from you is the recovery process. I’ve been consistently strength training about five days a week and then I do a couple 5K runs usually for cardio, or maybe rowing if the weather is crappy. I get a decent amount of sleep, but I never know exactly what else I should be doing for recovery. Do I need to take an entire day off? Anyway, more about recovery would be awesome.

@redefiningstrengthOC 9 күн бұрын

Recovery definitely means a variety of things - even how you fuel. And if you're cycling areas worked and workout intensity, you're already doing some great things to give your body time to rebuild. And a day off doesn't have to mean doing nothing...it could be walks, mobility work...but yes a lower intensity day to rebuild and even allow your mind to relax and not have to push is key! But tracking your workouts to see how you're progressing can help you know if you need more recovery time or even a deload or full recovery week. But definitely a great subject to talk more on!

(*BUHAHAsnortBUHAHAHA* I dig your sense of humor!) Excellent point and explanations of the WHY and the SCIENCE behind dropping fat. Since joining the RS 1:1 program, I have learned WHY things didnt work 6 years ago as far as my goals. I reached a weight I felt great and looked good (yet still fluffy?) but I didnt know the importance of macros. I didnt know how to implement progression workouts with weights. I thought cardio was king. Currently in the UGH phase where I feel I look worse but deep down I know I dont. 8 months in: I continue to drop fat. I continue to drop inches. I continue to see body recomp. My mindset has done a 360* turn. Confidence is in the stratosphere. Long story short: DO NOT GIVE UP. It takes TIME.

Those clips from the back in the day informercials tickled me. I used to like watching infomercials because I liked the promise of a new product. But nothing works if you don't work it. Or is nothing changes nothing changes. As always I enjoyed watching your video.

Two key points right there - the plan doesn't work if you don't work the plan. And to achieve a new and better result, you can't keep doing what you've always done!

This was really helpful. Thank you! Do you have any videos showing a sample meal plan you follow? I track my calories but I think I'm still in too much of a deficit. I struggle to get in all of my protein. What you said about the scale made me feel better. I can physically see the changes but I haven't lost any additional weight in 2 weeks. I'm down 35lbs total.

@redefiningstrengthOC 12 күн бұрын

Congrats on those results already! Cycling your personal macros is key and if you're hitting that plateau after an extended deficit, a diet break or even slow retraining to eat more may be key! Also just staying consistent with a slight stall on the scale may be all you need as you break that next set point. Keep focusing on that protein and here are tips to help - redefiningstrength.com/the-best-way-to-use-protein-to-build-muscle-or-lose-fat-7-tips?sl=yc

It’s the consistency to me. A vacation or holiday comes up and knocks me totally off for a week or two.

@redefiningstrengthOC 6 күн бұрын

It has in the past BUT knowing this pattern, you now have the power to adjust. What's one thing you could test out to help yourself not stay off track for weeks after? I know for me it was having meals already prepped for when I got back. It was having exactly a game plan and even implementing a mini cut at times prior. But when we know our patterns, while very hard to change, we do gain the power to adjust!

I gave up on my exercise and diet after losing 80 lbs. It took me a year of working hard everyday to be able to do one single push up! I was able to do 180 push ups and 250 squats a day for 8 months straight. I got to my goal weight I worked so hard and I was so disappointed that my body had loose skin in several places, especially since my stomach looked like I was 4 months pregnant due to loose skin. I knew I wouldn't look like I was 20 anymore but I thought I would look better than I did at 37. I am almost 44 years old woman and I have gained 30 lbs now and I have been trying to be consistent with doing push ups and squats again but not as many as I used to because of joint pain and not trying to be OCD about it, and taking a brisk walks for 30 minutes everyday. I am trying to remind myself that I need to eat well and exercise for my health and since I have gained weight I feel pain in my joints and my thyroid is out of a normal range, all this was normal when I lost the 80 lbs in the past. for a several months now I have been taking triple strength glucosamine chondroitin tablets and drinking homemade bone broth 3 times a day for the collagen and I have noticed a big difference in my joints. This time around when I lose the weight I know that I will never look good without clothes on again due to loose skin and not being young anymore, but at least I will be strong and healthy and at the end of the day that is what matters the most. Looks come and go but your health is something you will need and value your entire life. Thank you for all your advice in this video I appreciate it!

I love that you mentioned your health is something you will need and value you're entire life...because it's true. Hope that you're including that prehab work as well for your aches and pains and then adjusting your diet to really fuel your training. Our diet and proper fueling can even help improve our thyroid health so much as well as training dialed in to match. More isn't always better! Systems need to work together for the best results!

The belly is where I lose fat first. But I always struggled with my "saddle bags". I could go on diets and lose fat, but the saddle bags stayed. Four years ago I changed my diet, I have been eating low-carb since. Getting my carbs from veggies and some fruits. I have a good protein intake and i work out 6 times a week. The saddle bags are gone. I am 55 in menopause and never was in better shape! I think alcohol also has a great impact on losing fat. And for me it had a great impact on my cellulite. I am very strict with myself, but Saturdays are my cheat days. (not going overboard though) This works for me.

I have clients in menopause that have achieved their leanest, strongest bodies ever. And it is through a focus on macros and strength work. While we may first focus on building muscle without gaining fat, to even restore metabolic health, it is fully possible. Just takes longer than we'd like!

I’m 67 and did IF for over a year. I didn’t lose or gain weight. I started going to a nutritionist and she said I wasn’t eating enough and that IF was slowing down my metabolism. She wants me to eat more protein and 3 meals a day. I started this 3 months ago and I have actually gained weight and inches. I exercise and do free weights 5x a week. It’s the heaviest I’ve ever been. I don’t know who to believe!

I loved this video! For women who have had a hysterectomy, what core exercises do you recommend? I have heard that doing sit ups or crunches could potentially cause problems.

@redefiningstrengthOC 10 күн бұрын

So glad it helped! So core exercises if we've had surgeries or such need to be regressed and you need to learn to build back and activate your abs correctly. And proper breathing is key, that exhale with exertion. And yes in the first 90 days, you need to be extra careful, but after that you DO want to rebuild that core control...this means modifying them and starting with stability work first. Depending on your level of current core control, the stability press (pallof press), planks (even off a bench to start back) then starting to build back to using those abs with spinal flexion, even kneeling cable crunches and pelvic tilt work - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/kM2BlLdizKfRnH0.html
