Question

Hi my name is zeina , female , 22 years old , 5 ft and 51 kgs. i want to lose from 5-7 kilos hopefully but my bigger goal is to be toned after all this. i am currently doing the warrior diet and its going great however, i know this diet will make me lose fat like crazy . being a female i am scared I will lose fat from my butt and breasts. Is there a workout at a gym I can do to counter this ? because what I'm really aiming for is toned butt , abs , and smaller arms with the 5 kilo weight lose. I also workout in a fasted state if that helps . Thank you.

Subcutaneous fat loss is a systemic response. This means the whole body will lose fat when specific demands are made. With that said, genetics play a key role in both where fat is stored and therefore where it will be lost.


This is why there is no such thing as spot reduction - losing fat in a specified area due to a specific stimulus to said area (i.e. Abdominal crunches to lose belly fat - doesn't work.)


Along the same lines spot retention - deliberately retaining fat in specific areas - also won't occur. Your genetics will determine where and how much fat you'll lose on your body.


Now with all that said, there are ways of training strategically to enhance your appearance and give the illusion of a body shape one may not naturally have. This is achieved through muscular development and not fat retention.
