Again, no sources to back your claims. On top of that, “spot fat” removal and anything remotely related to it has been proven time and time again to be a myth, mostly perpetrated by people such as yourself and the fitness magazines. Fat loss happens when you work your body and it needs fuel to sustain itself. When it need more than you have fed it, it first targets your fat reserves to keep operating correctly. Wherever your body has fat available for use is where the fat will come off. If you have fat all over your body, it’s going to come off wherever it decides to draw the energy from. There is no magical way to make your body pick a specific part to take fat from. There is no special exercise you can do to burn the fat off from just that area.
If you have “stubborn” belly fat, look at your nutrition, not your exercise routine. If you have excess fat there, it’s a problem in the kitchen, not the gym. And, again, no amount of some magic method or food is going to specifically target this. Hard work, in the kitchen and the gym will, over time. If you aren’t losing fat there, work on your nutrition and keep working out; eventually the fat around your belly, or any other “problem” area, will go away.
However, you are correct about the cholesterol thing
Hi Jack,
First, focusing on fat loss from a certain area is not a myth just the way it is perpetrated to the public is.
There ARE ways to focus on losing fat around the middle with proper nutrition AND exercise.
By the way, not everything has a link especially if it is a physical copy. If it is online, you have to be a member to log on to journal sites, so giving you a link would be pointless. And, just because there is a link to something that says the same thing doesn’t make the info right.
P.S. This data was actually given to me by a Registered Dietitian who runs a very successful nutrition company so I figured he knew what he was talking about. By the way what do you do for a living.
Highly informative many thanks Paul, I do believe your subscribers would perhaps want a good deal more info like this. Maintain the good hard work.
