What Is Stubborn Fat?
Stubborn fat refers to fat deposits particularly resistant to diet and exercise. It is subcutaneous fats (fats under the skin) that commonly accumulate in areas like the belly, thighs, and lower abdomen. Despite a healthy lifestyle and regular exercise, these fat pockets can be challenging to eliminate.

Causes of Stubborn Fat
What causes fat to be stubborn? And why is losing stubborn fat so difficult? Before jumping into the factors, it is first important to know that stubborn fats are physiologically different from normal fats.
Fat cells contain various receptors, including alpha-2 and beta-2 receptors. Alpha-2 receptors hinder fat breakdown, while beta-2 receptors accelerate fat burn. Since stubborn fats have a higher ratio of alpha-2 receptors, they are much harder to burn and eliminate.
Several factors contribute to stubborn fats:
- Genetics: Your genetic makeup can influence where and how much fat your body stores.
- Hormones: Hormonal imbalances, such as high cortisol levels or insulin resistance, can lead to fat accumulation.
- Age: As you age, your metabolism naturally slows down, making it harder to lose fat. However, incorporating products from the illumia Metabolic Boost range can help support your metabolism and maintain a healthy weight over time.
- Large meals and processed foods: Eating large, high-sugar meals prevents the body from properly processing and digesting food, leading to excess fat retention.
- Not exercising: Consuming more calories than you burn leads to weight gain and fat storage.
