For those who desire a slim body, it is undoubtedly the most attractive to lose weight or lose weight locally. Because each fat person has different places for fat accumulation, some people want to lose fat in the lower abdomen; some people want to lose fat accumulated in the lower back; some people want to lose fat in the buttocks or upper thighs; some people Want to lose fat on the back or upper arm. As a result, there have been various methods and claims that claim to be able to lose weight locally. For example, sit ups to reduce belly fat; massage to lose back fat; use a vibrator to lose hip fat; and so on. The most outrageous statement I have seen is that eating certain foods (such as cucumbers, apples, etc.) can reduce belly fat, while eating other foods (such as tomatoes, eggplants, etc.) can reduce hip fat.

　　 In fact, local weight loss (only reducing this part, other parts of the fat does not reduce) is almost impossible, unless it is liposuction weight loss surgery (using surgical methods to directly suction or cut off local fat) . This is because any exercise is driven and dominated by muscles. Muscles use fatty acids as an energy source, so they can reduce fat. However, the fatty acids used by muscles come from the blood, and not directly from the muscles. The fat is usually very small). The fatty acids in the blood are provided by the body (may be the abdomen, thighs, or visceral fat). "Pointed local weight loss" is unrealistic. There is an example to illustrate this point. The muscles of one arm of a tennis player are obviously more developed than the other arm. However, the muscle layer (that is, the racket is often swung) has a lot of fat layer on the arm, and other The arms are almost the same. It can be seen that local exercise cannot consume local fat.

Of course, when exercising to lose weight, whether it is full-body exercise such as running, or local exercise such as sit-ups, as long as the energy consumption is large enough and exceeds the energy intake of food, it will lead to a reduction in body fat ( lose weight). In the process of fat reduction, just as different people have different fat accumulation parts, the fat reduction parts may also be different. For example, some people have more abdominal fat reduction than other parts; some people have reduced hip fat It is more obvious than other parts; some people''s face fat loss is more obvious than other parts; etc. If you do local exercise to lose weight (such as sit-ups) at this time, and the exercise part happens to be a site where fat loss is more obvious (such as the abdomen), the "effect" of local weight loss will appear, which makes people mistaken for local exercise to cause local weight loss. (Sit-ups reduce abdominal fat). In fact, switching to other sports (such as running) can also reduce fat in that area.

　　 In short, unless surgery directly sucks or removes fat, local weight loss is impossible. Even if sometimes local exercise reduces the fat in a certain part, it is also the result of fat loss in the whole body (but mainly in this part, because the fat in this part is more "active", but this kind of activity has nothing to do with the form of exercise).
