Have you ever wondered why some people hardly gains weight and some easily gets fat? This is called 'Biosignature' and was developed by Charles Poliquin. Principally, an excess or deficiency in certain hormones favors the storage of fat in particular area. Weight loss is crucial if you wan to get lean and I don't want to give out the complete system but I summed it up below:
- If you pile up a lot of fat in your legs, estrogen is elevated (this is one of the reasons why women lose lower body fat slower than the rest of their body)
- If your cortisol levels are high you'll store more belly fat (lose weight) and intraviceral fat.
- If you are accumulating fat around the waist it means that you are insulin defiant (your body doesn't accept carbs well and generates too much insulin when you eat them, leading to fat storage, hard to lose weight)
- If you are storing additional fat on your chest and triceps, testosterone is low. There is a risk that you are gay and you didn’t know it. lol.
- If you are storing more fat in your upper back and armpit area your thyroid levels are stumpy and low.
So you will lose fat faster at some places than others, which of course depends on your hormonal profile
Another factor is vascularity, where blood vessels circulates swiftly and the extra blood flow you have to a particular area, the easier it is to muster fat and use it for fuel. This is why it is generally easier to get lean arms, shoulders and calves.
