How lean to get rid of back fat?
« on: May 20, 2020, 02:29:23 PM »
I let myself go a bit, and am currently losing weight but want to know is the back fat/love handle area the last to go? I stopped working out regular/eating right and got to a hair over 260 by January of this year. Started working out again and then covid happened so it hindered the weight loss. I started intermittent fasting in March and beginning of this month riding my wife’s Peleton 20-30 minutes every morning and doing some lightweight/body weight exercises. I’m down to 243 today and am trying to get to sub 235 by July 1 when I leave for vacation. I can see progress, especially in how my pants fit now, but am noticing the back fat spilling over my underwear a bit. I have never been that heavy or out of shape before, so I had no clue the damage I was doing, so I’ve never really felt with this before. Is this the last area to go when dieting, or are we all different? I could not care less about a six pack as long as I had a flat stomach and no backfat. Any exercises help with that area? Thanks.

Science tells us that fat uniformly decreases with fat loss. My personal experience is my face loses fat first. I saw a video where Danny Paddila said the same thing. Maybe your  back fat is the last to leave.

Your body puts fat on your midsection first and then works it way to the extremities. This is an evolutionary development since your midsection is your center of gravity and is a balance point. As you get heavier you will then notice fatter arms, legs etc.

Conversely as you lose weight you will see changes first at the extremities. In my case, I get more vascular in the calves and forearms first, then working slowly to the midsection.

There are some people that tend to retain fat in their faces until they are very lean. I'm one of them.

So just keep on keeping on. Your will lose weight around your waist eventually :)

So by retaining fat in your face does that mean from an evolutionary perspective you're protected when you fall on your face?

Some studies have shown that holding fat in stubborn areas regardless of the area is a matter of insulin sensitivity and adjusting your diet to suit YOUR body type. As I got older my (like you) lower back is always the last to go before a show as well as my scap/sub scap

If nothing else, food for thought:

https://www.t-nation.com/training/targeted-fat-mobilization

https://www.t-nation.com/diet-fat-loss/the-simple-plan-for-stubborn-body-fat


I think Lonnie Lowery, maybe someone else, had a list of foods that may cause people to hold fats in different areas.

plus there's some science behind "coolsculpt" or using ice in specific areas but could be dangerous and/or unpredictable results.

also, most people mainly train obliques to "mitigate" the appearance of(not spot reduce)in that area but most of that "side handle" fat is covering gluteus medius, which most people never train directly.

Yeah last to go for many men. Myself included can have veins in my abs and still some noticeable “love handle” fat/water.

If you have always been in shape and never hit 260 before it should go quickly.

Estrogenic fat, try letro and see what happens. A friend of mine used to own a supp company that made a topical yohimbine product called yohimburn, it was pretty effective as well.

Is that stuff still around? A buddy used it about 15 years ago when we were in college with decent results. I used something around that time called “Camphibolic” that was the best fat burner I’d used. USP Labs made it but I think it’s been discontinued for quite some time.
