Fat
I've read plenty of times that you can't spot reduce fat, you need to reduce your whole body's level of fat. Then why is it you can gain fat more in particular areas instead of your whole body fattening up equally?

because depending on your gender, its easiest for fat to accumate in certain places, woman:thighs and ass. men: stomach
And why is that?
I think hormones have a lot to do with it. Men with high amounts of oestrogen develop man breasts.
Fat is just a store of energy, when we exercise we use it up hence it slowly dissapears. There is no connection between physically 'exercising' a particular lump of fat and it dissapearing. It's not going to budge that way.

Some people find that eating certain types of food can reduce fat in a particular area. Like the atkins diet is meant to be good for people with big bellies and slimmers world is meant to be best if you've got big thighs. Try reading eat right for your type
So now we're saying fat can be reduced more in certain areas?

And why is that?
Because evolution has decided it more beneficial to store fat in certain places.
I think that food won't make much difference to where you store your fat. I think it is more the overall amount you eat and your overall energy expenditure that will determine how fat you are. I think that it is mostly genetic where you store fat and the best way to shift it is by doing cardio to lose fat from all over and then doing resistance exercise at the same time to build up some muscle in that area so that it is more 'toned' looking.
