Types of Body Fat
I thought this was interesting and, in a way, motivating:
I have been exercising and dieting for months and it doesn't look as if I've lost much fat?
We don't just have fat cells under the skin ( subcutaneous fat ) we also store "internal fat" in the body cavity ( to protect internal organs ) and to a lesser degree in our muscles. Also we are not all the same, some of us have more subcutaneous fat to lose and others have more internal fat to lose. If you have an abundance of internal fat you may be burning more of this before burning the bulk of fat from other areas. This way means you wont notice weight loss results as quickly. Don't let this dishearten you as the good news is once internal fat levels are lowered subcutaneous fat will melt off much quicker.
