Abdominal Fat

crazyd asks:

Question

Dear Dr,
I have been working so hard on losing my weight .I have been attending gym regularly and doing moderate weight training and other exercise and frequent jogging . I have lost about 8.5 Kgs during last 41/2 months(from 110.5Kg to 102Kg) .But what worries me is that my belly doesn't seem to be reducing.There isn't a distinctive change in my waist measurement either.I simply don't understand this

Answer

Dear user,

You are in the right tract in achieving your goal. Keep it up! It is the visceral fat that get reduced first. This is the fat inside your body. Hardest and last fat to go is the fat over the abdomen. In some cases we can remove abdominal fat by a plastic surgical procedure but it is best to achieve this by diet and exercise.

Best wishes for you!
