A member asked:
Is it possible to lose fat just from ribs? not losng weight or exercising but can feel ribs/ see them if taking deep breath. 16st 7. have big appetite
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not likely: Spot fat loss is not the way it works. You tend to loose fat all over , but a human body tends to have more fat in certain areas more than others. Some of this fat distribution is genetic, thats why people come in different shapes and body builds.
