There's two things about women which make burning fat extremely difficult. First, as women age they have a tendency to put on fats pounds in their abdomen. Actually, many women can in fact lose weight overall yet accumulate fat in their gut. This can be an extremely discouraging phenomenon. Second, women will go through menopause, usually in early to late 50's which can lead to a change in their hormone production that will have a direct effect on how big their waist.
Fat that resides in the midsection could be manifested in a few ways. You might have used some calipers in the past to check on your BMI and were probably disappointed using the fat that you easily pinched together. However, there's another, deeper, layer of fat in many women's stomach and it is referred to as "visceral fat". This visceral fat is just as dangerous for your health as the rest of your fat.
As women age this fat builds and as it builds it is not just parking in your waist. It is actively inside your health in very negative ways. Doctors have discovered that this dormant fat can in fact produce hormones that will make you resistance against insulin. When your body becomes resistance against insulin you feel more likely to develop type 2 diabetes. These fat cells may also produce estrogen, which in a menopausal woman can increase your chances of breast cancer.
There are ways to fight against the battle of the bulge and they include exercise, strength training and diet. But with so many opinions on each of these subjects it is tough to know where to start.
