In real life, I believe many people have heard of local weight loss, mainly for people with local obesity. However, many people have different views on this. Some of them say that there is no local weight loss at all. Then does local weight loss exist? Let’s get to know each other.
Does local slimming exist
In a strict sense, it is basically impossible to lose weight locally, unless you have a liposuction operation to lose weight, and use the surgical method to directly suck or cut off the local fat. This is because any exercise is driven and dominated by muscles. Muscles use fatty acids as energy, which can help reduce fat. However, the fatty acids used by muscles mainly come from blood, rather than directly from the periphery of muscles. Besides, the fat around muscles is usually very small. The fatty acids in the blood are provided by the body, such as the abdomen, thighs, and visceral fat. Targeted local weight loss is actually very 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 fat layer of the muscular arm (that is, the arm that often swings the racket) is not much, and it is almost the same as the other arm. It can be seen that local exercise can not consume local fat.
When people exercise to lose weight, whether it is whole-body exercise, such as running, or local exercise, such as sit ups, etc., as long as the energy consumption is large enough and exceeds the food energy intake, the fat content of the whole body will be reduced, not the fat of a specific part.
Does local slimming exist? Although local obesity is very common in our life, it is mainly caused by the accumulation of too much fat under the skin of a certain part. Therefore, many people want to lose weight locally. The relevant contents on whether local weight loss exists are described above, and I hope they can help you.
