How do I lose “stubborn fat” faster? Wait . . . no? That sounds petty and neurotic, you say? . . . Yeah, I know right? Can you believe there are people out there like that? HEH. HAH. HARRUMPH. I’m glad we’re on the same page. But uh, if you would kinda like less fat and more muscle and strength, keep reading. How many calories and “macros” should you eat every day? You probably know that exercise alone isn’t enough to gain muscle and lose fat. And that, ultimately, your success or failure is going to be decided by your diet.

If you’re a woman, it’s probably your thighs, hips, and butt, right? Well, don’t worry. - You’re not genetically cursed.
