why is it that the last sort of five to ten pounds or that stubborn stuff is so hard to get rid of
basically the more and more weight you lose is a leaner somebody gets the harder it is
to get rid of that body fat
so somebody starting at say six feet 300 pounds for example starting their fat loss journey
or somebody starting at six feet you know 185 pounds assuming that their builds are
the same roughly same person it's the 300-pound person is going to have a much faster rate
of fat loss so they're going to lose a lot more weight quicker than the person at 185
but you need to think about it as a percentage of total weight as opposed to the total amount
of weight you're losing so someone at 300 pounds can drop you know maybe even five pounds
a week for for a little bit just because they have so much to lose but that person at 185 losing
two pounds a week is still losing a big percentage of their total weight so the leaner and leaner
we get the tougher and tougher it is to lose body fat
and also that's just because of the body kicking back in as far as you know the body doesn't want to
be ultra lean because having a little bit of body fat on you means if there's a famine for example
you're going to have more fuel under body to survive
so it's basically an evolutionary mechanism or evolutionary survival mechanism as well kicking in there
but just think about it as a percentage of total weight as opposed to you know you're at 185 compared
comparing your weight loss 
a few reasons why it those those shifts they're a little bit different as far as the person at 300 versus 185
