When it comes to losing fat, our genes, body structure, and shape all play an important role in determining where we will lose fat first. Generally speaking, women tend to start melting fat from their buttocks, hips, and thighs. Weight loss is an internal process that begins with the hard fat surrounding your organs such as your liver and kidneys. As you start to lose this fat, you will become slimmer and stronger.
Most people assume that the area of their body with the most fat is where they will lose weight first. However, a study found that men tend to lose fat from their torso first. For men, the area of the face, feet, legs, and arms where they lose fat first is usually where they notice a woman's figure. On the other hand, when women lose weight it often comes off their chest first.
If you are pear-shaped and carry more weight on your hips and thighs, you may notice a slight decrease in weight from these areas before any other part of your body. What you will notice first is when you start to lose fat from your head since your hips and legs are the last places to lose weight. If you tend to hold onto your hips or thighs even after reaching your desired weight, you can expect to lose fat from your head first. This is because men typically accumulate fat in this area first and it is also the first place they lose it from.
So it is easy for them to lose weight quickly in this area and move on. At most 10-15% of body fat is abdominal fat which can be difficult to get rid of. The reason why people gain weight in their midsection (not in their calves or forearms) is because women have more fat cells in their hips, buttocks, abdomen, and thighs than men do in their stomachs. Women are more likely to have fat on their hips, thighs, buttocks, and stomachs.
Tanya Zuckerbrot MS RD and best-selling author of The F-Factor Diet describes gender-specific fat as stubborn fat that serves as energy for pregnancy and breastfeeding demands. According to Dr Ali our genes control where we store body fat which also means they control when we lose it. Generally speaking women tend to lose fat along their lower body around their hips, buttocks, and legs while men tend to store more fat in their abdomen where they also lose it from first.The best way to burn belly fat isn't doing more crunches; no amount of exercises to lose thigh fat will give you the legs you want; and no superfood or supplement will automatically make certain parts of your body disappear or become toned or tightened. You may have noticed that fat in areas such as the buttocks, hips, and thighs (in women) or the stomach, lower back, and buttocks (in men) is slightly cooler to the touch than other areas of the body such as the arms or chest.Fat molecules travel through the blood and bind to fat cell receptors which then cause the release of stored fat so it can be burned for energy.
Having large amounts of subcutaneous fat (the kind found under the skin) is also harmful to health but visceral fat is particularly problematic. It's impossible to lose fat from certain areas of the body without losing it from other parts too.Fortunately there are some general patterns of fat loss that can give us an indication of how and when we'll lose it mainly based on our body fat percentage gender and genetics. Research shows that men tend to lose fat more quickly around their waist while women tend to lose it more quickly in their hips and upper thighs.The general pattern of fat loss gives us an indication of when we should expect to see results based on our body fat percentage gender and genetics. If you're very overweight (more than 25% body fat in men and more than 30% in women) then you'll have a lot of body fat stored around your organs in your abdomen which is known as visceral fat.Deep down persistent fat is persistent because it's trapped in cells and doesn't want to be burned for energy.
Once people start losing weight most women find that a small amount of persistent fat sticks around their hips and thighs until they reach 20% body fat or less.<.
