I want to know why i can't lose my stomach fat fast?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Because...: Because there isn't a physiologic mechanism to specifically lose weight from the abdomen. The idea of spot reduction is a fallacy. You can improve the appearance of your abdomen by toning & strengthening the muscles. A certain % of overall weight loss will be appreciated in the abdominal area. Calories burned must exceed caloric intake.
