Question: I’m losing more weight and I’m starting to see my muscles starting to protrude rather than the lumpy fat I had once before. My belly is becoming more firm. Granted I still have a small belly, it’s shrunk, and with great delight 
only problem is this:
while the fat on my body is leaving my system and being burned, what do I do about the fat around my chin. It hasn’t really been burned as much. What do i do to get rid of that.
My guess is this (which i hope i’m wrong) it will probably be the last thing i burn off.
also how do I speed metabolism. How can I tell how slow/fast it is?
Answer:
Hi, great question. Our body burns fat systemically. Meaning that it comes off the body as a whole, with not much rhyme or reason. This can be somewhat genetic as well. Where you put on weight first, is usually the first place you’ll start losing it. You’ll have to keep reducing your body fat levels until you get to a comfortable % that will allow the jawline fat to reduce as well.
Metabolism is the speed your body burns through food.
There are 3 main components
- T3/T4 hormones- means you have to eat enough food so that you don’t lower their production thus slowing metabolism (one reason crash diets don’t work, they slow the production of these hormones and slow metabolism)
- Amount of muscle you have- fat is burned in muscle tissue, the more you have the more you burn. if you’re not currently weight training, start doing so
- Types and frequencies of the food you eat not all calories are created equal, 2k calories of sugar will have a different effect on your body and metabolism than 2k cals of salmon, veggies, and sweet potatoes for example.
Be sure to eat every 3 hrs of a meal that contains a low-fat protein source, and a complex carb with some veggies.
