Anuj, doing fasted cardio in the am is a very good way to lose fat quickly. Your looking at nutrition from a "building" stand point, in which case you are correct. but from a "cutting" stand point it isnt always true. What he means by stubborn fat is this, When you start a cutting regiment, things will go relatively smoothly for a certain amount of time (different for everyone). but once you approach your bodys set point (the amount of fat that you comfortably carry) your body will slow the fatloss to combat going below the set point. You've prob heard people say "the last 5lbs" is the hardest, think of that, then go a step beyond, if your set point is about 12%, think of how much fighting your body will do if your trying to get to 7 or 8%. thats whats ment by stubborn fat.
