Part 4/7:
Achieving a caloric deficit—burning more calories than you consume—is the cornerstone of effective fat loss. However, it’s important to brace yourself for the realization that the areas you wish to improve may take longer to show results. The body naturally tends to shed fat from various locations, often prioritizing the most accessible stores—such as the arms, legs, and face—before finally reaching that stubborn, genetically influenced area.
Many individuals become discouraged when they don’t see immediate results, leading to diet abandonment. Patience is crucial; even though your most problematic areas will likely be the last to shrink, they will begin to respond as you continue to adhere to your caloric deficit.
