- local accumulations of subcutaneous fat that violate the proportions of the face and body. Local fat deposits can be expressed in various anatomical zones (submental region, abdomen, waist, hips, buttocks, etc.), lead to a change in the volumes and contours of various parts of the body and a violation of the overall proportions of the figure. In order to assess the amount of adipose tissue, the measurement of height-weight indicators and body volumes, the calculation of BMI, and bioimpedansometry are carried out. For the correction of body fat in cosmetology, injection (mesotherapy), hardware (cavitation, LPG, cryolipolysis, electrolipolysis), surgical (liposuction) and other methods of exposure (massage, body wraps) are used.

General information

Local fat deposits ("fat traps") - excessive development of adipose tissue in certain areas of the body. According to statistics, at least 46% of women and about 32% of men suffer from the problem excess weight and body fat. The so-called "problem" areas in women include: the second chin, the inner surface of the shoulders, the lower abdomen, the waist, the outer and inner thighs, the buttocks, the area above the knees, etc. It is here that excess subcutaneous fat accumulates faster and most often. Fat deposits are a common problem for many women, especially those who have entered the age of "Balzac" age. In the arsenal of modern cosmetology and plastic surgery, there is a whole range of proven non-invasive and surgical methods for body shaping; every year in the beauty industry there are new effective methods of dealing with the problem of body fat.

Causes of body fat

The appearance of body fat is based on an imbalance in the processes of lipogenesis (the formation of adipose tissue) and lipolysis (the breakdown of fats) in the body. The regulation of lipogenesis occurs with the participation of insulin, prostaglandins, vasopressin; regulation of lipolysis - with the participation of ACTH, growth hormone, catecholamines, sex hormones, lipotropins. If the balance of these two processes is disturbed towards the predominance of lipogenesis, an excess amount of fat accumulates in fat cells (adipocytes), leading to their hypertrophy. In turn, an increase in the size of adipocytes is accompanied by compression of blood and lymphatic vessels, fluid retention in tissues, and degeneration of collagen fibers. External reflection of complex metabolic changes in the body are local fat deposits and the phenomenon of "orange peel" - cellulite.

First of all, imbalance in the processes of lipogenesis and lipolysis contributes to poor nutrition: excess carbohydrates and fats in the diet; a rare but plentiful meal; systematic overeating; the habit of snacking between main meals; food for the night. If improper eating behavior is accompanied by a lack of movement and little physical activity, then the process of the appearance of body fat is accelerated several times. The local deposition of subcutaneous fat in certain places is closely related to the hormonal processes that occur in the body during puberty, pregnancy, menopause, as well as the use hormonal drugs(corticosteroids, insulin, oral contraceptives).

In addition, the places where fat deposits are formed are genetically predetermined, that is, in most cases, we inherit the features of our figure from our parents. Therefore, under certain conditions (nutrition errors, physical inactivity, hormonal changes), these "problem" areas begin to increase in volume first.

Types of body fat

The main function of adipose tissue in the body is to maintain energy balance. Depending on the location and characteristics of metabolism, 3 types of adipose tissue are distinguished:

• subcutaneous adipose tissue
• subfascial (deep) layer
• visceral (internal) fat, predominantly located around organs abdominal cavity.

Expression and ratio various kinds adipose tissue depend on heredity, age, gender, metabolic rate and other factors and largely determine the shape of the individual's figure. Subcutaneous adipose tissue is to some extent developed in all anatomical areas and gives smoothness to the contours of the face and body. In most cases, subcutaneous fat is relatively easy to decrease with an increase in energy consumption and a decrease in the energy value of the diet. Subfascial fat deposits are expressed in certain areas (on the abdomen, waist, hips, buttocks, etc.) and determine the individual characteristics of the figure. Deep fat is virtually indestructible through diet and exercise.

By prevalence, local and general (generalized) forms of body fat are distinguished. In turn, the local form is divided into 3 types:

1. Delimited type. Fat deposits have clear boundaries and are caused by hypertrophy of adipocytes of the subfascial or superficial layer of adipose tissue.
2. Diffuse-local type. It is caused by an increase in the volume of subcutaneous fat in a certain anatomical zone. This part of the body acquires a fuzzy outline, smoothly passing into the neighboring area of ​​the body with a normally developed fat layer. Diffuse-local fat deposits are found on the front surface of the thighs, upper abdomen, shins, etc.
3. Small bumpy contour violations(small tuberous lipodystrophy, cellulitis). It is characterized by hypertrophy of adipocytes of the subcutaneous layer with bulging of adipose tissue and the formation of an uneven contour of the surface of the dermis in the form of small tubercles and depressions ("orange peel").

Local forms of body fat are stable in shape and volume, which often persist even with a pronounced weight loss. The generalized form of body fat (obesity) is discussed in detail in the corresponding review.

Preparing for Fat Correction

If superficial fat deposits in the subcutaneous adipose tissue can be eliminated through diet and adequate physical activity, then it will most likely not be possible to cope with excess deep-seated adipose tissue on your own. It is in these cases that body shaping with the help of professional cosmetology methods comes to the rescue. Drawing up an individual program for body shaping should be preceded by a diagnosis of the general condition of the body. Ideally, before prescribing a course of procedures aimed at eliminating body fat, it is necessary to undergo a medical examination and obtain the conclusion of a therapist, endocrinologist, gastroenterologist, gynecologist; perform general and biochemical blood tests, ultrasound of the abdominal organs, ECG. It should be remembered that most of the procedures for hardware and injection body shaping are not performed for pregnant and lactating women, oncological and hematological patients, patients suffering from acute febrile conditions, epilepsy, dermatosis, pustular diseases, etc. Physiotherapeutic effects are contraindicated in persons with an implanted pacemaker.

Directly at the appointment with a dermatocosmetologist, general parameters (height, weight, blood pressure) and body volumes are measured, body mass index is calculated, bioimpedancemetry is performed. Consulting a nutritionist can help you get personalized nutritional advice. A physiotherapist, massage specialist, thalassotherapist, etc. can also participate in the selection and appointment of procedures for the correction of body fat.

Fat Correction Methods

An integrated approach to the correction of local fat deposits is aimed at enhancing the processes of lipolysis, removing fat breakdown products from the body, as well as lifting the skin in places where “fat traps” disappear. All methods of removing fat deposits used in cosmetology can be divided into hardware (using physical factors), injection (using liquid pharmacological forms), cosmetic (using creams, gels, natural factors), surgical and massage techniques.

The traditional method of eliminating various body defects is mesotherapy, based on the intradermal or subcutaneous administration of special cocktails that have lipolytic, lymphatic drainage, biostimulating, vasoactive, antioxidant, lifting effects. Usually the course of correction of body fat with the help of mesotherapy consists of 7-10 sessions. One of the options for lipolytic therapy is mesodissolution (mesotherapeutic liposuction) - the introduction of special hypoosmolar cocktails into the hypodermis.

Intralipotherapy is one of the latest injectable techniques effective in eliminating localized fat deposits, based on the introduction of Aqualyx, a proven lipolytic drug, deep into the adipose tissue. Also in body correction programs, carboxytherapy and ozone therapy, which have already become traditional, are widely used.

Along with injection procedures, in order to correct local fat deposits, hardware techniques are usually used: cavitation, electrolipolysis, thermolifting, shock wave therapy, cryolipolysis, cryosauna, low-intensity transcutaneous laser radiation, etc. Physical factors underlying these methods (ultrasound, electrical or light energy, radio waves, cold, etc.) allow for a deep controlled effect on subfascial fat deposits and destroy them.

Why is brown fat "good" and visceral fat is dangerous to health? When is it time to sound the alarm and start monitoring nutrition? How to get rid of "bad" fat? What can lead to a large number of body fat? Together with the nutritionist-endocrinologist Natalya Fadeeva, we understand these and other issues.

Natalia Fadeeva

There is nothing useless in the human body. Fat is also an important hormonal organ. For example, during menopause in women, it partially takes over the function of the ovaries and produces sex hormones, which protects the woman from the development of osteoporosis (decrease in bone density) and fractures. Fat produces various hormonally active substances: resistin, adiponectin, leptin and others. Their functions in the body are actively studied by scientists.

A person cannot live, let alone reproduce, bear and feed a child without adipose tissue. There are genetic diseases in which a person practically does not have this tissue. Previously, such people could barely survive, but now medicine supports their viability.

white fat

This is exactly the kind that people first think of when they talk about fat. In another way, white fat is called white adipocytes - the cells that make up mainly adipose tissue. White fat really does White color(or slightly yellowish) - due to the low density of mitochondria (permanent components of the cell, the source of energy for cells) and a small number of blood vessels.

The main functions of white fat are to store energy (it is generally the largest source of energy in the body) and to produce hormones. For example, the hormone adiponectin. It makes the liver and muscles sensitive to insulin, which means it reduces the risk of diabetes and heart disease. If a person gains weight, the production of adiponectin slows down or stops altogether - this can provoke the development of diseases. Fat also produces the hormone leptin, which regulates appetite and hunger. But this does not mean that the more white fat in the body, the better. Too much of it leads to leptin resistance. Outcome: a constant feeling of hunger and excess weight.

It is normal if a man's body is 15-25% fat, and a woman's body is 15-30%. If the number exceeds the maximum, this indicates obesity - you need to reconsider your diet and think about training.

Natalia Fadeeva

nutritionist-endocrinologist, doctor of medical sciences

White fat is the fat that is found under the skin, around the organs. As a rule, it accumulates in one drop in the cytoplasm of the adipocyte cell. The main function of white fat is the accumulation of energy for a period of hunger.

brown fat

The complete opposite of white fat - brown fat does not store energy, but helps to spend it. This type of fat owes its properties and color to a close relationship with mitochondria. Some scientists tend to attribute brown fat more to muscle than to fat per se. If you activate this fat, it will begin to burn white.

Scientists have found that lean people have more brown fat than overweight people. Although there is not much brown fat in the human body. For example, a person weighing 68 kilograms has 20-30 kilograms of fat. But only 500-800 grams of them is brown fat. And even this amount can burn from 300 to 500 calories per day - enough to regularly lose 450 grams of weight per week.

Scientists are working on a drug that would activate brown fat (the drug will help in the fight against obesity), but they still urge not to consider this a panacea and not to forget about sports and proper nutrition.

Natalia Fadeeva

nutritionist-endocrinologist, doctor of medical sciences

Brown fat is fat that is located in the kidneys, back, shoulders, neck. Its amount in the body of an adult is very small. In the body of a newborn, its amount can be much larger and reach 5% of body weight. Brown fat protects the child's body from hypothermia, since its main function is thermogenesis (heat production).

In structure, brown fat differs from white fat in a large number of vessels and iron, which gives it a characteristic color. By increasing the amount of brown fat, you can speed up your metabolism, increase energy expenditure and maintain a normal body weight. You can increase its quantity only by hardening the body - but the process starts only if you do it regularly, and from childhood.

It is brown fat that helps to lose weight - due to its thermogenetic action, energy expenditure to keep warm.

Beige fat

In the course of research, scientists have found that beige fat is a unique type of cell. They believe that white fat is able to turn into beige, which means it will help get rid of excess weight. that catecholamines - hormones released during times of stress and colds - help to begin the process of converting white fat to beige. . During physical activity, muscles release special proteins that trigger this process.

Natalia Fadeeva

nutritionist-endocrinologist, doctor of medical sciences

Beige fat is actually a transitional form of fat, from which, under the influence of environmental conditions, it can form both white fat and brown fat. The latter will occur if the body is in conditions of low temperatures and needs additional thermogenesis. Beige fat was discovered not so long ago, and its role in the body is being actively studied.

subcutaneous fat

Subcutaneous fat is a layer of fat that is located just under the skin of a person, it makes up 90% of all fat in the body. In many sports and medical centers you can measure the amount of this type of fat. Long-established methods will help reduce its level - reducing fast carbohydrates and "empty" calories and regular high-intensity exercise.

Natalia Fadeeva

nutritionist-endocrinologist, doctor of medical sciences

Subcutaneous fat protects the body from hypothermia, stores energy in case of hunger (cells can store a huge amount of energy), in women it is intended for pregnancy and lactation, has shock-absorbing properties and is considered a hormonally active tissue.

The accumulation of subcutaneous fat depends on gender (in women it is always more than in men), on age (increases with age, decreases in old age) and eating habits (increases with physical inactivity and overeating). Excessive accumulation of subcutaneous fat in the thigh area in women increases the risk of diseases of the reproductive system and varicose veins veins.

It is subcutaneous fat that is blamed for cellulite, which is a completely normal structure of subcutaneous adipose tissue in women and depends on the amount of female sex hormones, structural features of the connective tissue in women. Cellulite absolutely does not need treatment from a medical point of view. The presence of cellulite refers to the female gender, and its absence indicates the predominance of male sex hormones.

Visceral fat

The most dangerous type of fat for health. Visceral fat is a white fat that is found in the abdominal cavity around the organs, liver, pancreas, heart, intestines. Researchers have found that visceral fat secretes retinol-binding protein 4, which increases insulin resistance. This, in turn, leads to glucose intolerance and type 2 diabetes.

A large amount of visceral fat in the body is associated with the development of breast cancer, colorectal cancer, heart disease, dementia. It is not entirely clear how dementia is associated with fat. Perhaps the point is the hormone leptin - produced by white fat - and its negative effect on the brain. , Ph.D., Research Associate at The Kaiser Permanente in Oakland, Calif., who identified the link between visceral fat and dementia in a study that analyzed data from more than 6,500 people.

To estimate the amount of visceral fat in the body, you need to determine the ratio of waist to hips. Measure around your waist and hips at the widest point. Then divide your waist circumference by your hip circumference. If the number is greater than 1.0 for men and 0.85 for women, then the fat level is too high.

Nutritionists recommend increasing the amount of unrefined foods, protein, unsaturated fatty acids, whole grains and fiber in the diet - their experience shows that this will help to significantly reduce the level of visceral fat. And it is also important to sleep 7-9 hours a day and exercise. , what effective method fight belly fat - do cardio regularly.

Natalia Fadeeva

nutritionist-endocrinologist, doctor of medical sciences

Excessive accumulation of visceral fat (obesity in the abdomen, android obesity) leads to the fact that fat cells cannot cope with such an amount of fat (visceral fat cells cannot, unlike subcutaneous fat, accumulate fat in large quantities) and it enters in the form of cholesterol , triglycerides and lipoproteins in the blood. This causes problems of the cardiovascular system (atherosclerosis, heart attacks, strokes), obesity of internal organs. And also fatty hepatosis, the development of metabolic syndromes, gout and other disorders.

You can get rid of "bad" fat if you follow the basic principles of rational nutrition and move daily. For women, it is important that the waist circumference is no more than 82 centimeters, and for men - no more than 94. A significant increase in waist circumference is a bad sign. He says there is more "bad" body fat than it should be. Prevention of obesity in the abdominal (upper) type - maintaining a normal body weight throughout life, a balanced diet and regular physical activity.

The fat on a woman's belly is jokingly called a "lifeline". But, alas, this "rescuer" is a problem for many. Moreover, the accumulation of fat occurs at any age. Diseases that occur with the appearance of unnecessary body fat, forced scientists to turn Special attention to the problem of obesity. So there was a direction in medicine called morphomedicine. As a result of the study, the causes of fat storage in women and measures to combat them were identified. Numerous “why” answers were given.

• Recommended reading: and

It has been scientifically proven that overeating main reason fat deposits, and weight loss - not always. It has been established that women in the body should contain about 20% fat. All waste products of the human body come through food. Lack of vitamins or trace elements is dangerous. There is a metabolic failure.

• We recommend reading about

Weight gain is called lipogenesis, and the reverse process is called lipolysis.

The main responsibility for why women have a "lifeline" is the hormones adrenaline and cortisone. Adrenaline is responsible for the production of insulin in the body. A sharp jump upwards of adrenaline increases the content of insulin in the body. And this leads to a partial or even complete reorientation of carbohydrates that enter the bloodstream through food into fats.

The level of cortisone in the body increases with frequent overeating. Leads to lipogenesis, i.e. there is a slow process of processing fats and carbohydrates.

Types of belly fat

Fat in the area in women is divided into deep and superficial.

The main reasons may be:

• Wrong posture. It most often appears with sedentary work and a sedentary lifestyle. There is a slight displacement of the spine and protrusion of the internal organs. The abdomen enlarges involuntarily. And if there is no physical activity, then fat is deposited very quickly.
• Age changes lead to a decrease and complete cessation of the production of female sex hormones, which are called estrogen. The metabolism and splitting of the received fats is broken.
• Frequent stressful situations cause negative emotions and a strong release of adrenaline. are violated hormonal background, metabolism. That is why there are sharp formations of fat in the lumbar part of the body.
• Lack of physical activity and overeating quickly form a fatty layer in the abdomen. The weight of women is increasing. The walk becomes heavy. There are problems with the legs, heart and other internal organs.
• During pregnancy in women, the stomach is stretched. If you do not take action, then after childbirth, the subcutaneous folds are quickly filled subcutaneous fat. That is why doctors in maternity hospitals advise doing simple exercises after childbirth, which prevent the formation of body fat.
• Hormonal disorders arising from diseases and taking medicines. This factor can be corrected, but only under medical supervision. Here you should not take risks and self-medicate.
• Problems related to genetics. In this case, obesity itself is not a hereditary disease. Fat is deposited due to diseases predisposed to fat formation. These include diabetes mellitus, metabolic disorders and others.
• Improper nutrition women. Contrary to the opinion that the optimal diet is three meals a day, because. the body needs about 6 hours to digest food, practice proves that you can eat more often, up to 5 times a day, but little by little. At the same time, afternoon snacks should contain plant foods. Excessive consumption of sweets is harmful.
• Lack of self control. Postponing problems leads to more health problems. In such cases, fat deposits increase.
• Lack of sleep. For the normal functioning of the body, a person is recommended to sleep at least 7 hours a day, but more is better. Why is this happening? The body protects itself from stress.

Women must take into account all these risk factors to prevent the emergence of a "lifeline".

Your feedback on the article:

The basic rule of the diet for hormone balance: you need to eat 2 times more fat and protein than carbohydrates

Did you know that there is a direct link between hormones and weight loss? Your hormones control everything important to weight loss: your metabolism, where fat is stored (belly, thighs, etc.), your appetite, and even your cravings. This means that any kind of hormonal imbalance can interfere with your weight loss process! Of course, cutting out potato chips and exercising actively is a surefire way to lose weight. But if the balance of hormones in the body is disturbed, then it will be very difficult for you to lose weight and especially to remove excess fat from the abdomen and thighs. However, if you know how hormones work and how you can normalize their levels, you can lose weight faster 🙂

Why is hormone balance important in the body?

Hormones are biochemical substances produced by each multicellular organism. Hormones control virtually every process in the body. They are responsible for the accumulation and expenditure of energy, the accumulation of fat in the body, the fight against stress and maintain muscles. Balance of hormones is a great way to ensure a life rich in energy and health. However, many people turn to expensive and potentially dangerous supplements to improve their health. Nutritionists have long learned how to remove excess fat from the abdomen and increase vitality through proper nutrition and lifestyle changes. In a previous article, it was shown that a healthy diet leads to a balance of hormones in the body (See article:). In this article, I will cover the basics that are important for balancing hormones. In addition, some healthy meals will help you quickly lose excess fat from the abdomen and other parts of the body.

Health starts with cleansing

There are many factors that affect the balance of hormones in the body: sleep, exercise, meal frequency, etc. If you need to lose excess fat on your belly, upper body, or thighs, then the first thing you need to do is start eating healthy foods that help detoxify your body. Some foods are irritating gastrointestinal tract resulting in imbalance of hormones. This results in occasional food cravings, even if your body doesn't need fuel. If you eat when you are not hungry, then the balance of hormones is disturbed: fat will accumulate in the body. Hormone imbalance is the main obstacle to losing weight. Proper nutrition can help cleanse the body. In addition, healthy foods have anti-inflammatory properties.

If you are allergic to any type of food, be sure to eliminate them from your diet. Also try to eliminate foods that have a high glycemic index from the diet (they cause food cravings, which is fraught with overeating). These foods include foods rich in carbohydrates and sugars: White bread, carbonated drinks, bakery products, pasta and processed food products(See article:). If you eat foods with a low glycemic index, you can balance the level of hormones in the body. If you're craving sugary foods, opt for high-fiber foods like bananas, artichokes, raisins, oatmeal, beans, and nuts. To cleanse the body, you need to drink enough water every day. Drink about 8 cups of water daily, this will help increase your metabolism. In addition, an environment will be created in the body that will help eliminate toxins from the liver and the whole body.

Diet helps to remove excess fat on the abdomen, upper torso and thighs

Have you noticed that different people excess fat is deposited on different parts of the body: on the abdomen, upper body and thighs. It turns out that the presence of "problem" zones is associated with an imbalance of certain hormones in the body. There are some types of supplements and foods that can help you shed excess fat from your belly, upper torso, and thighs.

Excess belly fat is caused by the hormone cortisol

Many people suffer from the problem of excess belly fat. Studies have shown that too much of the hormone cortisol is a major factor in belly fat accumulation. An Indian plant, holy basil, helps maintain healthy cortisol levels; it is usually taken in the form of capsules. Foods to lower cortisol levels: spinach, citrus fruits, nuts, beans, and barley.

The cause of excess fat on the upper body is the hormone insulin

Fat on the upper body is more rare than on the abdomen. This is a sign of high levels of the hormone insulin. In this case, foods containing conjugated linoleic acid can help: milk, yogurt, cottage cheese and beef. Also opt for whole grains and green vegetables.

The cause of excess fat on the thighs is the hormone estrogen

If you have excess fat deposited on your thighs, then this may be due to high levels of estrogen. Cruciferous vegetables - broccoli, cauliflower and white cabbage - contain a large amount of plant-based substances that can block the hormone estrogen. Chia, flax, and sesame seeds also contain polyphenols that lower blood estrogen levels. Also useful in the deposition of excess fat on the thighs are grenades and red grapes.

Diet to balance hormones: 2 times more fat and protein than hormones

A diet to normalize hormone levels focuses on the balance of carbohydrates, fats and proteins in foods. The basic rule of this diet is to consume 2 times more fat and protein than carbohydrates. Thanks to this diet, you will be able to feel full for a long period of time. This diet also helps keep the hormones cortisol, insulin, and estrogen at healthy levels.

Rules that help to remove excess fat on the stomach

Compliance with the recommendations below will allow you to remove excess fat on the abdomen, hips and upper body. Protein powder is an important component of this diet. You can add it to water or milk, oatmeal, etc. Protein powder helps keep you from overloading each meal with carbohydrates.

Some people find it hard to replace sandwiches with salads. However, you can top a whole grain sandwich with lettuce or spinach. Low consumption of bread will balance the proportion of micro and macro elements.

Eat only fresh fruits and freshly squeezed juices. Most store-bought juices contain much less fiber but a lot of extra sugars. Watch the calorie content of your drinks. Many carbonated drinks and juices have a lot of kilocalories.

In a diet that allows you to remove belly fat, include roasted nuts, dry red wine, buckwheat, pomegranates and any vegetables.

Recipes to get rid of belly fat

Finally, I want to give some recipes for healthy dishes that help restore the balance of hormones in the body. If you follow a diet that regulates the balance of hormones, then you will never have such a problem how to remove excess fat on your stomach, upper body or thighs 🙂

Blueberry and yogurt smoothie

Ingredients: 1 serving whey protein isolate, 1/2 cup plain goat yogurt, 1/2 frozen banana, 1/2 cup frozen blueberries, 1 tbsp. chia seeds, half a glass of water. Blend all ingredients in a blender until smooth. This smoothie is very beneficial for the balance of hormones in the body.

Crispy chicken in lettuce

Ingredients: 1 small green apple cut into cubes (with peel); 1/4 cup chopped red pepper; 1/4 cup chopped cucumbers; 1 tbsp finely chopped red onion; 3 boiled and chopped chicken breasts; 1/4 cup low-fat Greek yogurt 2 tsp olive oil; salt and pepper to taste; lettuce leaves. In a bowl, mix all ingredients except lettuce. Put in the refrigerator for 1 hour. Place the chicken mixture inside each lettuce leaf, roll into cylinders and serve. This dish contains the optimal combination of protein, which is very important if you want to lose excess belly fat.

In the last article, I provided a list of foods that help remove excess belly fat (See article:). In this article, the emphasis was on the fact that the balance of hormones in the body depends on our diet. It is a hormonal imbalance that leads to the fact that excess fat is deposited on the abdomen, upper body or thighs. Restoring the balance of hormones means removing excess fat from the body 🙂 Liza Kuznetsova, biochemist

Why is fat deposited in certain places? Why, in some people, everything goes to the stomach or to the legs? It is clear that we are all different, but the reason is different, and the name, to her - psychosomatics!

So, I will try to answer this question, to be honest, the information that I will publish below is collected from various sources on the Internet, and therefore, let each reader evaluate very critically how appropriate this information is for him.

Before you start reading the descriptions of fat accumulation areas, fat zones, I want to say. what I think about it.

If you take psychosomatic diseases, and excess weight can be safely attributed to a disease, then you can safely rely on the data that your own body gives you.

And start dealing with these issues, that is, sort out your own troubles in relation to the world, yourself and others.

So let's go - fat zones:

Why is fat deposited on the arms, shoulders, at the withers?

Upper torso - shoulders, arms, "withers", second chin

For some women, excess weight is most noticeable in the shoulders and upper back.

The second chin is pronounced, the so-called “withers” stands out from behind, lush full hands, in the shoulder area - a dense massive roller. as a rule, such women excessively take responsibility for other people.

By nature, they are caring, responsive, active, always striving to help their neighbors and even solve all their problems for them.

They say about such people: "Everything is on her shoulders." Unbearable load entails fatigue.

The body is trying to rest from the exploits of self-sacrifice of its mistress and is covered with a layer of fat so that the burden does not seem so heavy.

Another reason for the accumulation of excess weight in the area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe shoulders and back is the “load” from the past.

A person “pulls on himself” emotions and experiences that it is time to discard and forget for a long time, again and again returns to memories.

Double chin

The second chin is a consequence of constant innuendo and attempts to embellish your speech. A sort of half-lie-half-truth, as a rule, out of fear of offending or being punished.

In this case, unspoken, but already ready to fall from the mouth words, as it were, fall into a kind of energy bag, which leads to the formation of a second chin.

In order for him to disappear, you need to allow yourself to say what you think, and stop complexing about it.

Why is fat deposited on the back?

He talks about the lack of protection and support, rejection of his past, problems with his father. Fat pads under the arms - shame, skeletons in the closet.

The problem is solved by an honest look into the past, at one's life, by realizing its uniqueness and forgiving oneself for everything.

You connect with your father, whatever he may be (often just one mental message: "Dad, I'm your daughter, thank you for the life you gave me"), and allow yourself to receive support.

Why is fat deposited on the sides?

Fat on the sides:

• dissatisfaction with one's surroundings;
• psychological trauma;
• deep dissatisfaction with oneself, which most often results in unfounded claims and irritation.

It's time to stop criticizing and blaming others for your troubles, and think about what exactly you can do to improve your life and society. Do some cleaning!

Why is fat deposited on the stomach?

The stomach emerges as a way to cope with your fears, anxiety or worry. May also indicate problems between mother and children.

A loose, large belly is a sign of causeless anxiety.

"Bear disease" and bloating the stomach with gases - winding yourself up.

It also happens to creative individuals who are "eternally pregnant" with some idea - to open a salon to write a book ...

To get rid of it, learn to accept the world as it is.

In short, you need to stop worrying and finally start living!

I do not quite agree with this point of view, I have an article with detailed description what causes a big belly

Fat ring around the waist

This is a belt of protection and excessive pity for people.

It happens with people who too often take on other people's problems.

Not out of responsibility, but out of pity and sympathy.

These people are "professional vests" into which everyone is ready to cry. It cannot be said that such people are victims of circumstances, being a “vest” is their choice, but they pay for it with an ugly fat belt at the waist.

Fatty triangle in the sacrum

Suppressed desires, a ban on pleasure and the satisfaction of true needs.

As a rule, it occurs in people who live according to the principle "you have to pay for everything."

It leaves when a person finally realizes the importance of his desires and begins to do at least something for himself, his beloved.

Buttocks

The zone of social debts, they grow fat and become loose in people who constantly promise themselves and others something and do not keep promises.

Having promised, we accumulate not only promises, but also, in fact, condemnation for an unrestrained word.

And the buttocks become large, as from everyday spanking.

To regain the beauty of the “fifth point”, it is better not to promise anything, but what is really needed is just to do,

Why is fat deposited on the thighs?

They gain weight with unrealized sex, a ban on the manifestation of the instincts of power, aggression and creativity.

All together (sex, power, aggression and creativity) are four basic dominants that distinguish a free person from a slave of conventions and society.

This, of course, does not mean that it is necessary to be aggressive and intemperate in relationships, quite the contrary. The more a person tries to convince himself and others that he does not need such “low things”, the stronger the tension and fullness of the hips.

Back thigh (breeches)

This is a zone of meaningless accumulations, greed. Here is deposited something with which we still cannot part, although it is high time.

Unnecessary things, obsolete relationships, disgusting work, unsupported beliefs. The more of this you have and the more often you say to yourself: “Let them be, let them lie down, maybe it will do,” the more voluminous the riding breeches will be.

Throw out unnecessary trash, the disproportionality of this zone will also go away.

You can find quite a lot of information on this topic on the Internet, but in principle, it is practically repeated, there may be only slight differences. I chose from several articles, in my opinion, more reliable data and resonating with life.

And as always, I look forward to your opinions in the comments.

Best regards, Natalia.
