THE BETA SWITCH: THE NEW STUBBORN FAT SOLUTION FOR WOMEN
Stubborn Fat
Stubborn fat is the fat that accumulates in particular areas such as the hips, butt,
and thighs of lean women. It may show as cellulite, or it may not. Stubborn fat is
very difficult to remove (so it is aptly named!), as you are probably aware.
It’s there in obese women too, but they may not realize that it’s ‘stubborn’ until
they get rid of more of their overall fat.
Now, some of you may be thinking that you have stubborn fat but you’re not lean.
The Beta Switch will help you get rid of both kinds of fat. And your ‘regular’ fat
will melt away much faster if you keep your beta receptors turned on.
And lucky for you, when you get to your stubborn fat, you won’t hit the seemingly
unbreakable wall that other women do. You’ll already know how to keep your
beta receptors turned on and happy, so although you’ll notice a slowing of fat loss
in your trouble spots, you’ll be able to lose them.
One of the reasons fat is believed to be preferentially stored in these stubborn
areas is for breastfeeding. As mothers (or the ability to be a mother – because we
are female) we are genetically programmed to have a backup supply of fat so we
can care for our offspring in times of famine.
When women lose fat, typically we lose it from our upper body first. No matter
that we may have a lot more fat down below; our body will always take the fat
from our upper body first. That’s the pattern of fat loss for most women. And as
frustrating as that is, we can’t change that.
So, stubborn fat is doubly difficult — it’s stored easily and it’s extremely hard to
shift once it is stored.
Like we talked about before, body fat contains two types of adrenoreceptors
– beta and alpha. These adrenoreceptors control fat cell metabolism as well as
blood flow into and out of the fat cell. In very basic terms, beta receptors promote
fat metabolism and alpha receptors block fat metabolism. Continuing in very basic
terms, in the game of fat loss, beta receptors are good and alpha receptors are
bad.
