It always seems to me that when I'm trying to lose weight in a certain area, my body chooses another area.
For instance, if I'm trying to lose fat in my arm and legs, first it comes off of my tummy and behind.
Unfortunately, we can't choose where we will lose weight from, but we can learn more about our own bodies and where we gained the weight in the first place.
According to Dr. Marticia Heaner, not everyone gains and loses weight in the same places and where you do gain and lose weight, it is mostly dependent on your genes where it ends up. Still, studies show that most people, no matter the means of weight loss, lose weight in their tummy and abdomen area first.
What Dr. Heaner cannot precisely answer is how we lose fat in other places, like our faces.
