Repeat after me "You can't spot reduce!". Men generally store FAT around their waist, while women generally keep it around their hips. There is no exercise, magical cream (yet), plastic wrap procedure, or anything else other than liposuction, that will remove FAT from a certain area. That's usually the first place it builds up and it's the last place it will depart. The best way to get and keep a washboard stomach, or shapely hips, is by following a low FAT diet and doing plenty of aerobics.

In the gastric bypass procedure, the stomach is left in place with intact blood supply. In some cases it may shrink a bit and its muscle or lining (the mucosa) may atrophy, but for the most part it remains unchanged. Remember the stomach has two main functions. First it is a reservoir for food. Secondly, it is a chemical factory. See similar questions...

You can't spot-reduce your fat. Our bodies simply don't work that way, so put the notion of targeted fat loss out of your head. The only way to reduce the fat around your mid-section (or anywhere else) is to reduce your overall body fat levels. It's also very important to do everything you can to preserve your existing lean muscle mass while dieting. See similar questions...

Good question! There is a lot of debate about whether longer, slower workouts are better as opposed to shorter, more intense ones. Technically, you burn a greater percentage of fat calories with the slower workouts (long jogs, walks). But high-intensity workouts such as running or multi-impact step aerobics burn more calories overall, so you end up burning more fat calories in total. You really can't go wrong either way, though - both approaches will help you lose weight if you are consistent. See similar questions...

In some surgical procedures, the stomach is left in place with intact blood supply. In some cases it may shrink a bit and its lining (the mucosa) may atrophy, but for the most part it remains unchanged. The lower stomach still contributes to the function of the intestines even though it does not receive or process food - it makes intrinsic factor, necessary to absorb Vitamin B12 and contributes to hormone balance and motility of the intestines in ways that are not entirely known.

A combination of aerobic exercise and careful eating will help you to do this. You need to do aerobic exercise for at least 45mins on 4 or more days of the week and restrict your fat and calorie intake to burn the excess fat around your tum! See similar questions...

middot; A: Whether it is possible depends on your torso (i.e. thorax, abdomen and pelvis). In the case of a short torso, excess fat can hardly be removed from the upper abdomen, while for a long torso a more favourable result will be achieved. The thickness of the panniculus adiposus (fat pad), which lines this area, is also very important in this respect. See similar questions...
