I'm a typical hourglass aparently and the belly is usualy place that gets flat fastest. Skin in those places suffers due to that I thiink. Its much less elastic than the bouncy skin on my hips/thighs o.O
I wouldnt dare to suggest tho that hourglass body type loses belly fat the fastest , just my own experience,0 -
Pear- you gain weight first in your legs thighs and bum and not your midsection and upper body and then they are the last one you lose too.
Apple- you gain weight first in your stomach and that's the last one to go
Do you get it? So if you are really pear shaped you should lose weight in your arms shoulders and your tummy first before your lower body. If you are apple its the opposite.
I'm hourglass and I gain weight pretty much balanced upper and lower body and the last is my tummy. I can have a pretty flat tummy at higher weight but my arms and legs and thighs and bum gain weight. And oh yeah my face too.
I agree whole heartedly! I am also hourglass and my weight is lost pretty evenly and the last spot I gain weight is my waist. Genetics also play a big part but body shape can pretty much sum up how you gain and lose it.0 -

China
India
Russia
These 3 countries consume more wheat than the US. And of course they are suffering from having an overweight population and obesity. Just sayin'

I am pear shaped and the first place I lose the weight is on my belly! I should say I am lucky cause I get my curves back very soon! I quit eating white carbs for a week and all my belly fat is gone! I guess it's more of water retention for me than fat!0

It doesn't matter which body shape you have....as dumb as it may sounds one of the main foods that cause belly fat is believe it or not ....WHEAT especially WHEAT BREAD.....most wheat bread is made from enriched wheat flour which all in all is refined....if you want to eat wheat mke sure it says whole wheat not enriched wheat....
That is so not true.
I am apple shape and have eaten gluten free for a few months a while back and gluten makes no difference. I do not drink soda.
Your shape is usually down to genetics. There is no way to spot reduce fat sadly, even depending on what you eat or drink.0 -
Okay, I am hour glass.. makes sense now with the measurements.0

I'm definitely apple shaped and the stomach is the hardest for me. My legs look killer and although my stomach isn't round, it is wide and definitely has fat on it.0

is it me or do all these damn 'apples' and 'pears' all look the same????0

In my opinion, it doesn't matter what body shape you have. Everyones body is different and everyone will lose body fat in a different place.0
-
It makes no difference what body type, the consensus is belly and chest fat are the last to go since thats where your most vital organs next to the brain are so the body wants to keep them protected and thus even if you were slim that's where your highest amount of body fat would be.
Face and neck are first, then extremities, then hips/butt then your midsection (chest and stomatch) regardless of how much you can or can't bust your *kitten* and try to isolate the body will regulate short of surgery ofcourse:)
personally i'm pear shaped and have lost weight around 3-4KG's in just over a week and none of that seems to be from the stomach area yet which is my most prominant part..0 -

You are Sad Enriched Wheat Flour? Aww why so sad?0 -
I've read a lot that suggests that when you primarily store belly fat it's because of too many processed foods. I actually find it to be accurate, I could be wrong but.. I know the fat there has gone away from me simply by changing WHAT I eat, it's the thighs I have to burn the fat off for. Even my friends, when I get them to cut the processed foods and red meats and the dairy, that's where the weight goes away at without even trying.0

I'm an hourglass shape and I've lost five inches from my bust, four from my waist, one from my hips/butt, and hardly any from my legs (which are not slim). I'm definitely losing from the top down. It's all progress, but I wish I were losing the booty faster.0

lol. I hope you're joking. The pear, apple, hourglass shapes usually just applies to females. All males are technically apple shaped. The shape comes from hormones and genetics. Women tend to store fat on their hips and thighs due to effect of estrogen. Men have a very very small amount of estrogen, testosterone mainly makes you gain weight in the stomach area. And no, it does make a difference what your shape is based on where you will lose weight first. The whole "the organs" need to be protected doesn't really apply in this concept. Overweight people have so much visceral fat much more than the body needs to "protect its organs". Your body would be more than happy to get rid of it.0 -
Apparently pear shapes are harder to lose weight/fat. Bummer for me, but I'll be glad to have this figure once I'm fit.0
-

no apples and pears are completely different. not even close to the same shape. usually apples have great arms and legs but full middle. pears usually have thin arms and chest and smaller waist but have thick hips and thighs.0 -
I'm an hourglass shape and even at my biggest (230lbs) my belly was never terribly big. My boobs, *kitten*& thighs, yes, but not my tummy.0
