The Stubborn Fat Solution

by Lyle McDonald

The problem of stubborn body fat (typically the abdominals/low back for men and hips and thighs for women) is one that lean dieters have been trying to deal with for decades. Various simple explanations (typically involving estrogen) have been offered but the results from these simple approaches have been, at best, poor. This is a place where simple is simply wrong. As it turns out, stubborn fat is stubborn for a number of inter-related physiological reasons, all of which conspire to make its elimination difficult (and for some, seemingly impossible). The Stubborn Fat Solution is the first book to scientifically examine the causes of stubborn body fat in extreme detail. From receptor type and number, blood flow, the propensity to both store and release fat, the physiology of stubborn fat is dissected in detail. The role of hormones and diet is also discussed. Of course, all of the physiological verbiage is useless without solutions and The Stubborn Fat Solution provides those as well. The book describes four specific protocols aimed at optimally mobilizing and burning off stubborn fat. While the protocols are primarily training based, the impact of diet on stubborn fat loss is also discussed and information on how best to incorporate the four protocols into your current training and diet program are examined. And while none are required, several beneficial supplements are also discussed. Please Like The Ultimate Diet 2.0, The Stubborn Fat Solution is aimed at lean dieters trying to achieve extreme levels of leanness. Until men are 10-12% body fat and females are ~15-17% body fat, the information in this book is not necessary (although it will still be informative).

Excellent. Datos interesantes, el autor detalla lo suficiente como para entender de manera amplia los factores que influyen en la pérdida de peso.
Peeeeero, el tipo "no se calla". :v Se nota que es de esas personas que hablan hasta por los codos.

This is the most comprehensive (and dense) book on fat loss that I’ve ever read. The author takes a deep dive into the mechanics of lipolysis and then provided a specific plan for maximizing it. If you’re a bodybuilder or body scientist (or a nerd) then you’re going to love it. This isn’t for regular folks though—it’s way too advanced. I had to read pages and chapters over and over again. Highly recommended if you’re the target audience.

This is definitely not a guide for long-term fat loss, but it is an excellence resource if you're wanting further insight and execution on how one can get to a very low body fat percentage for a short-term goal!

Good science information. But it didn't quite give me what I was looking for, it excludes all the limitless exceptions. Plus, A writer is supposed to not only know the information but to know how to deliver it.
