The scale is going down every week and your clothes are getting more and more loose. So, if fat burn is such a beautiful place, why do we have such a hard time getting there?
Well that is because the process of getting to the fat burn stage is HARD! However, once you are there and you continue to eat properly, you should not have problems staying. When you are entering fat burn, you are essentially depriving your body of fuel (See my Carbohydrate blog). Your body is thinking it is running low on fuel and will send signals to your gut and brain that tell you to eat. At this time, you may have experience symptoms such as increased hunger, headaches, weakness and more. You have to push through this tough time in order to force your body into fat burn mode.
