A member asked:

How do i reduce fat only around my belly and hips and not overall?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Can't spot reduce: Weight loss/fat loss will occurs most efficiently by creating a daily caloric deficit - i.e. Eating less. Its difficult bordering on impossible to out-exercise over-eating! there is no way to pick and choose where your fat comes off either - i.e. Spot reduction is not possible. Good luck!
