There is no way to reduce fat from any one area of the body alone. This type of "Spot Reduction" is a myth. Your body loses fat from all areas of the body equally.

Doing abdominal exercises will firm and tone up the muscle under the fat, but has no direct effect on the fat itself.

General weight loss is the ONLY way to lose weight from any area of the body.

The human body stores fats as what?

Fat is stored as fat in the specialised fat-carrying cells. Bear in mind that this is not fat that has come straight from your bacon and cheese sandwich. The fat travels into the stomach, and out where it is emulsified by the bile from the liver, and is then digested by lipase in the small intestine. It is broken down into soluble fatty acids and glycerol. Fats may be synthesised by the body, and are then stored.


If you are 15 and you have six pack abs under a layer of skin but you used to be large as a child is this fat on your stomach if it is toned?

Your six pack can be covered by skin and/or fat. Many times, what sits on our stomach has a lot to do with our genes and our habits. Generally, we pick up fat-laying qualities from our parents and/or our relatives. When we work out, we can tone the muscles and use stored fat from anywhere in our bodies but this may or may not affect the fat on our stomach. Working our stomach muscles won't tone loose skin either -- this is heavily influenced by our genes. Hope this helps.
