Someone asked me why they can’t lose fat in the lower half of their body, even though they’re on keto and intermittent fasting. It’s working, but there simply isn’t much weight loss in their legs, thighs, and butt.

When you’re doing keto and intermittent fasting, you’re targeting insulin. You’re fixing insulin resistance, which primarily has to do with all your belly fat. You should be seeing weight loss in your midsection. If you’re not, stay with it because belly fat loss will happen.

You’ll hit a weight-loss plateau because your muscle-to-fat ratio will change. You’ll get more muscle and less fat. Muscle weighs more than fat, so you probably won’t see the number on the scale change, but you’ll start to shrink.

Typically, weight loss will happen from the top down. But keto and intermittent fasting will only take you so far. You’ll have to add exercise to your program. The average person in their 40s and older is dealing with a high fat to low muscle ratio. To shed fat on your lower half, do exercises that target your glutes, thighs, and hamstrings. And not just jogging on the treadmill, but plyometrics, slam balls with squatting, and specific leg exercises.
