So You Want To Burn Belly Fat?

If there's one question in common that every fitness profession receives, It's " How can I lose fat from my stomach"? This question is a great one. No matter where you go, movies you see, ads you come across, you see people...MEN and WOMEN, with a flat midsection. So, I understand the huge desire to want to look as such. I believe that we have been conditioned to WANT a flat stomach. It doesn't even have to be a 6-pack, a toned Mid-section will do. Before I really go into answering this type of question we first must realize what fat is on our bodies. Why is it actually there? We perceive it as a disgusting overhang so we want it gone!

FAT: This wonderful piece of undesired glory, is energy stored in our body. As we begin to eat, our bodies become accustomed to wanting more of it. The way the body works is it stores fat evenly through out the body, It doesn't pick a place, It doesn't care where it lays, It's carried by the body to a resting place to be stored for a later burn date. Think of our bodies as refrigerators. I don't want to go too much into fat cell anatomy but, fat cells are spread-ed out all over our bodies. No matter how large or skinny we are, these fat cells will always be there. When a person is over weight the fat cell are full and are creating new ones to keep up with the demand of storing fat. When these fat cells are empty, you simply don't have any fat in them so they don't appear invisible. Your fat cells will always be there rather you weigh 300 pounds or more and 150 pounds or less. This makes since not to over eat, because when fat cells are full they will multiply because there are no more room and will need new fat stores. FAT CAPITALISM LOL

Back to the question of deleting belly fat. After reading my thoughts from above, now you should know that fat is stored evenly through out the body. Since the body doesn't only store fat in the belly area, would it make since for our body to burn fat only from the belly area?

Lets think about this in a different way. Lets say a woman wants to add size (fat) to her butt or breast area, while staying slim in other areas. I'm sure many of you are saying now, her task that she wants to be complete is impossible because her genes tell here body's fat cells to go here, and not there, so she remains with smaller breast and butt while the rest of her body gains fat. With other women it's the complete opposite.

Simply, one can not spot reduce fat, just as one can not add fat in the body to certain areas. Our bodies don't work in this way. We may think we only carry most of our fat in our stomach but in actuality it's every where. You simply have more fat cells in your belly. One may have small legs, with a big belly. One may have a small belly with flabby arms. One may have flabby legs with a large belly and small arms with a small face. I know this information is hard to take because it is something that many people say. You simply just need to understand that this is fact. But, I wont let you down. I'm going to also tell you a few things you can do right now to lose belly fat.
