FAT FROM SPECIFIC AREAS

haha i found this interesting article...Body fat has a mind of its own. It appears where it wants to, and seems to disappear (under great duress) from all the wrong places.

so interested of knowing more??
ok before i go into more detail lets acknowledge about our body fats first...

"Types of Fat
We have adipose tissue all over the body. This tissue is made of adipocytes (fat cells) whose sole job is to store energy in the form of fat. Body fat distribution differs from person to person. There are generally two types of fat storage: visceral (surrounding organs), or subcutaneous (beneath the skin - about 80% of all body fat ). "

Basic Areas

Women - generally around the buttocks and thighs (gluteofemoral): "pear-shaped".
Men - generally around the abdomen: "apple-shaped".

Note that these are the predominant patterns - but both 'apple' and 'pear' shaped distribution can be found in either gender.

Specific Areas

Knee	Fat often builds up on the inside region of the knees in women.
Upper Arm	Also common in women, fat build up can occur in the middle to upper area of the upper arm - typically covering the tricep area.
Abdomen	Fat buildup around the navel area is common in both men and women. It is also one of the few fat deposits that are also found in slim women.
Inner Thigh	Fat storage between the thighs is common in women - but also occurs with men. It is more noticeable in women due to the width of the pelvis that in turn influences the position of the thigh (femur).
Outer Thigh	Sometimes called "Riding Breeches" - this area is the most likely place for the pitted or 'quilted' appearance of cellulite. This fat concentration also blends with fat tissue on the inner thigh and the buttocks.
Buttocks	Without fat here - sitting would be quite uncomfortable. Fat is held in place by the gluteal fold. If significant fat is lost from the buttock, then only appropriate training can prevent the buttock from sagging down against the thigh.
Lower Back	This fat concentration often merges with the buttock area.
Chest	Breast tissue comprises the mammary gland (one's 'endowment') surrounded by fat. Men also have atrophied glands and fat in this area. Both sexes gain fat in this area. In men this can sometimes be mistaken for the condition of gynecomastia - a condition that includes not only fat build up, but growth in gland tissue.

i m in the progress of finding ways to get rid of unwanted fats on specific areas...so ll be back with good news...
