    NO YOU CANNOT SPOT LOSE FAT. PERIOD.

    You obviously didn't read the article. Take your negativity elsewhere. I am trying to help people here.
    Correcting wrong information =/= negativity. Stop being so sensitive. Don't like it, don't post wrong information.

    Mikaela: No, because technically, you still have fat everywhere even if the stomach is the most visible.

    Why should I believe some random dude on the internet vs a published article? How are you so sure it's wrong information?

    Because he is telling you the truth. It's been proven by science that you can NOT target body fat. You can strengthen muscles but you can not target area's. If you are eating a surplus of calories and doing a ton of planks, your body will still gain fat.

    But what if it converts the fat into muscle?

    It is impossible. Fat does NOT convert into muscle. And on top of that, you can NOT gain muscle unless you are eating more calories than you burn.

    Think jac is trolling

    Why do you guys have to be so mean? Is this the thanks I get for trying to help people? I am not a rocket scientist.....or a nutritionist......just a regular guy trying to help people. No wonder nobody wants to help around here.

    People got defensive because you did. The original post was true. If you suggested this thread was ways to improve your core strength, people would agree. But as I already suggested, you can NOT target area's.

    Technically you are incorrect. Liposuction targets specific fat deposits. If you are talking through exercise then yes.

    It isn't negativity. It is being realistic. It is false advertising to say "if you just do these exercises you will lose stubborn belly fat". That is just not true. Are there other benefits to doing these exercises? Sure. Correcting wrong info is not "negativity".

    Genetics dictate where you lose weight from first, eventually all over but you may have ripped arms before belly fat is gone if that is what your body does with excess fat
