    I’m a 20 year old female who just recently discovered a love for the gym and all things cardio, but i’m in major need of some good fat burning workouts- ae. tummy, arms, back!

    Exercise in and of itself doesn't burn fat, and you can't spot reduce fat from certain areas with specific exercises. You burn fat when you're in a calorie (energy) deficit. You need a certain number of calories to maintain weight and this is dependent on your stats and activity level. You consume calories (energy) in excess of what your body requires, you store fat...body fat is just stored energy...it's like a backup generator. When you consume less energy than your body requires, that difference needs to be reconciled...so your backup generator kicks on and you burn stored energy (body fat).

    It most certainly was. Based on the original post, and in response to the drastically edited post, I would also have to add that you can't target specific areas for fat-burning, like arms and the other body parts referenced. It's going to come off where it's going to come off. Now you know, and knowing is half the battle.

    Feels a little passive-aggressive, honestly.

    Since they have only made one post, maybe they are just really confused by the system.

    IDK why it was edited but it's fun to list obscure stuff about weight loss.

    Does it need to be something true? If not, there's a lot one could make up, like insulin fairies.

    How about this one? With lifting heavy, I'm loving my body more at 189.6 pounds (as of this morning) than I ever did at 150.

    Sorry for the impromptu stalk but YOU LOOK AMAZING at 189.6

    For some, (hmm, hmm, naming no names here, h) alcahol tolerance can drop with weight loss.

    Cheers, h.

    Are ya drinkin' right now? :wink:



    OP, there are all sorts of weird things that get posted about weight loss. For the most part, you have to ask yourself if it actually makes sense. Does it make sense that this single magical substance (ACV, Garcinia Cambogia, green tea pills) is the miracle cure for burning fat? If it were, would obesity rates be rising?
