Order of Fat Loss

,
Burn Stomach:

While searching though some of the beloved fitness forums, I came over a post which listed the types of fat detailing which were the easiest to lose.

From easiest to hardest:

Visceral fat
Deep abdominal fat
Upper superficial abdominal fat
Lower superficial abdominal fat
Hip and thigh fat

It should be noted however, that since most men don't carry hip and thigh fat, the lower superficial abdominal weight ends up being the most difficult to get rid of for most males.

Prior to puberty, slight boys and slight girls have essentially identical fat patterns.

What happens hormonally basically determines an individuals fat patterns. After this period, investigate shows that fat cell patterning is essentially 'set' at that time. So the typical male is testosterone dominant, while the typical female will be estrogen/progesterone dominant. This determines what pre-adipocytes (basically dormant baby fat cells) make to store weight after that. So girls typically get hips, thighs, and breasts and boys get fat on their stomachs.

Essentially, if you advanced hip and thigh fatty tissue during puberty, for anything hypothesize (and note that there are some odd shifts in fat patterning happening these days; I'm finding more and more girls with visceral fat) you advanced fat cells in your hips and thighs, which act just like a typical female's lower body fat in terms of getting super lean.

With that said, you cannot localize fatty tissue removal. Fat is burned off your entire body during exercise, not just the qoute areas.

Remember, keep fit and have fun!
