Abdominal fat burners, do they exist?
Many people ask me, especially in view of the summer, if there are abdominal fat burning products , or products that only reduce belly fat, making sure that, with less localized fat, the belly is flatter and toned and the abdominals more defined.
In this regard, there are many products called abdominal fat burners on the market , but the reality is that localized weight loss does not exist or almost, and if it existed it would be the result of targeted diet and workouts.
The abdominals, however, are somewhat particular muscles , made up half of type one fibers and the other half of type two fibers. This means that to train them seriously we have to give them different stimuli, but the training strengthens the muscle and inflates it, it does not remove the fat! It is certainly useful to train the abdominals to give tone to the abdomen, but this does not affect the localized fat . The right diet affects fat.
Let’s go back to abdominal fat burners: various substances are thus defined on the market. From packages that offer mixes that are hypothesized can be effective at an increase in lean mass (which we obtain through training) and a reduction in fat mass (of the whole body, however: and consider that it is difficult to have the two things together, i.e. muscle increase and fat reduction at the same time) to the so-called thermogenics, products not without side effects and potentially harmful, often based on nerve substancesthat create a metabolic stress response. The equivalent of smoking an extra pack of cigarettes and drinking a pitcher of coffee. Your heart is racing, it is logical that you burn more calories and your metabolism rises a little. But when you stop that happens
Yes, because the body adapts to such stresses easily. If you have read this explanation correctly, it will not have escaped you that neither in the case of products for the increase of lean mass nor in the case of thermogenics we are talking about localized slimming for the belly . These products are not the surgeon’s hand, they do not suck the fat away from you where you want it, let alone the abdominal fat. So why are they called abdominal fat burners? For marketing.
Let’s go back to the fat on the abdomen.Â
The fat that we see on the belly is subcutaneous or visceral, while the muscle fats that can be burned with training (when we say that the body attacks the fats after the sugars) is not really the flab we mean. For this, the only abdominal fat burning package is to do the right diet and the right workout. The diet to reduce body fat is low-calorie, but not drastic, otherwise it goes too far at the expense of muscle mass: the classic slow diet, accompanied by training, can reduce body fat (but not only on the belly). The type of visceral fat is the least difficult, and is typically male. Women have no small difficulty with their subcutaneous fat, which is why being smart and aiming for a synergy of diet and training is the best answer to reduce subcutaneous fat as well.
In particular:
minimum caloric deficit (on 15%)
increase in
multivitamin proteins
integration with conjugated linoylic acid and a little more caffeine or green tea to have a slight fat-burning boost without resorting to the thermogenic.Â
