Is fat burned evenly throughout your body? Yes and No. Let me explain. The human body is miraculous in it's function. It is extremely efficient. When you are burning fat, your body will prioritize based on 2 criteria. 1) It will burn off the fat that is most harmful to it's health and function. 2) It will burn fat from the areas that are easiest to reach. Here is what you will notice on your journey... most people will lose fat from their necks first, this applies to both criteria above. There are more blood and lymph vessels in the neck supplying the head and brain than anywhere else in the body. Next, you will burn visceral fat. This is fat stored around your organs. During this phase you will notice that your size is getting smaller, but you look the same in the mirror. After visceral fat comes intramuscular fat. Again, in this phase you will notice you are getting smaller, but will also your muscles will feel firmer and more dense. Finally, after intramuscular fat, you will begin to burn subcutaneous fat. This is the fat stored under the skin. This phase is when you will notice your shape is changing and your body looks different in the mirror every day. This phase is exciting! Depending on how much fat you have to lose, this phase could take weeks or months to reach, so don't get discouraged by the mirror. Watch your non-scale clues and trust your body!

This post might hurt your feelings... 😉 But I care more about your health that your feelings. STOP drinking name-brand Diet Sodas! They are harmful, toxic and damaging to your brain. The artificial sweetener Aspartame is a huge no-no for health conscious people! It is BANNED in most countries. It crosses the blood-brain barrier (not a good thing), turns on your cravings for sweets and turns off the satiety centers (makes you think you are still hungry when you are not). If you must have a carbonated fix, try ZEVIA (sweetened with Stevia, no colors or dyes). It comes in all the popular flavors!
