[quote="joel"]I'll start with the new research, then segway to the anecdotal stuff we can all relate to.

First, the new research behind why we spot gain.

1. The University of Liverpool has released a new series of studies showing that fat in the belly region suffers from a lack of proper circulation because that fat sits out farther from the muscles and supporting vascular network. As a result, hypoxia, or lack of oxygen in these fat cells results in impaired insuling signalling in these cells.

These cells become 'damaged', unable to normally process blood sugar, and thus become prone to even more fat creation and storage. Again, the underlying mechanism is adequate circulation.

While this idea is shocking and new to most people, it's NOT NEW here at LookCut. We have been presenting this for over 2 years. This is one of the things that differentiates this site from the drivel thats out there. What you get here is the very bleeding edge of weight loss and nutrition

Now the research behind spot reduction

1. The University of Connecticut recently did a series of studies linking resistance training to spot fat reduction. The results showed a decrease in skin fold fat measurement. While the studies were not clear if the decrease was due to localized fat reduction or other factors, other studies have popped up.

2. Cal State Northridge recently released a study clearly linking spot reduction to exercise via improved insulin signalling in fat cells with impaired circulation

3. Louisiana State recently released a group of studies demonstrating a new breed of aminophylline solutions were able to produce spot fat loss. The theory was the solution lowered the lipolytic threshold of the local fat cells where applied.

Let's sum all this up.

1. There is solid research now linking problem fat areas to impaired circulation and hypoxia of fat cells locally.

2. There is also solid new research showing this can be reversed locally, meaning spot fat reduction, via exercise which improves circulation.

3. The underlying issue is CIRCULATION. The old school idea that spot fat loss is not possible does not take into account the cellular mechanisms that result in different rates of fat storage and burning, the  most important of which is circualation.

Now let's just think common experience. Any bodybuilder will tell you they are leanest in the areas the routinely train, and fattest in the areas that are not routinely trained.  The areas trained get better circulation due to being pumped with blood.

The point is this, [b]local fat burning and circulation are related. [/b]and this CAN be controlled to achieve to prevent localized fat loss and achieve localized reductions[i][/i][/quote]
