Spot Reduction? Is it possible?
Now one thing that you as a smart reader should know is that there is no such concept as the term called spot reduction of fat in the body, which is you cannot lose fat from any specific part of your body or cannot target spot reducing of fat from any particular part of your body, the process of fat loss takes place throughout your body, that is fat drops overall from your body instead of dropping from any particular region. Hence one thing that you should take into the notice from now is that you can never target to reduce fat from any particular region of your body, like the hips, belly, face, or arms. You can only reduce the overall fat percentage in your body, which would eventually reduce fat from the areas that bother you.
