I swam for years and always kept in great shape.
I quit for 2 years. After turning 41, which was 7 months ago, I started back up again. I swim 5 days a week for an hour, mostly freestyle. I'm in great shape again everywhere except for this stomach fat I can't seem to lose. Can anyone recommend any good workouts that can get rid of this?
I will look into this more, because from my biology, nutrition and physiology classes I have just taken, I don't know that this is true. Won't disagree absolutely, because my knowledge is just not good enough...yet.
I also reviewed my exercise physiology book and it confirms that fat will be used before protein, that protein is used but sparingly. And of course the much preferred fuel is carbohydrates in the form of glucose.

There is quite a bit of information about the ketonic diet and how the brain actually changes to burn ketones. Very interesting stuff. There is a local baby that I know about that is on this diet and it probably has saved her life.
