Can I spot reduce body fat from a specific body part? 💭🤔
No, you cannot spot reduce a certain area of your body. The most common areas for people to want to spot reduce are the waist, back, arms and legs, and while it is possible to intentionally build muscle in these areas to have a ‘toned’ look, it’s not possible to spot reduce. So then, how does fat loss actually work? Well, Fat is stored in our cells as something called triglycerides, but in order for your muscles to use it, your system needs to break it down into free fatty acids and glycerol, which are transported into your bloodstream to then be used as fuel. The fat being used comes from anywhere and everywhere in your body, not the area you’re working at the time. Where your body loses fat from first comes down to your sex, genetics and body shape. So, if you are on a calorie-restricted diet and are struggling to get rid of stubborn body fat in a certain area, there is no need to do anything juristic, just stick with the process and in time the result your after, will come 💯🙌🏽
