One consideration encompasses the notion that you are a unique and
complex individual. I could prescribe the same weight-training programme
for two young men and one might put on weight, and the other might lose
weight. It's also the same for nutrition - two people consuming the
same diet can achieve two very different outcomes.
Another example
of our uniqueness is fat and muscle distribution. I can eat all I like
and will put on very little fat around my hips and thighs - it'll all go
on my arms, chest and stomach. The majority of women are different
however, with the hips and thighs being predominant areas for fat
storage. Again, some people (most commonly men!) seem to be able to eat
all they like and not put on an ounce of fat. Men and women store fat
differently and women are more likely to store fat after menopause.
How
could that be you ask? Again, we are all unique. We have different
genetic makeups, e.g., predisposition for fat storage; different levels
of hormones being distributed throughout our bodies, e.g., men and women
store fat differently due to the sex hormones; different food
intolerances, different stresses and strains being placed on our bodies -
we have not yet been designed as clones to produce a uniform external
response to the things we are putting into our bodies.
Does this
make it sound like it's too difficult to burn body fat? It's not. It
just takes a little bit of trial and error on your part. If something
isn't working then change what you're doing. There's a great quote that
says, 'stupidity is repeating the same thing every day but expecting a
different outcome'. But before you jump up and cry in exasperation 'none
of this is working!' first give it a good fair chance to start working.
Often
this requires three to four weeks of doing something consistently and
then you will only usually see and feel very small changes starting to
happen. Frustrating? Yes. But in reality this is how sustainable fat
burning happens - slowly but surely.
