[QUOTE="Member496333, post: 2441018"] I think men will always have a tendency to add fat to the central area. For women it seems to be the hips and upper arms that go first. Hopefully the breasts somewhere in between. But generally speaking, any fat made from glucose - so carbohydrate and to a lesser extent excess protein - will be stored centrally just because it’s made in the liver. Subcutaneous fat is more likely to come about from eating dietary fat. Nuts being a hugely energy dense example. Oversimplification I am sure, but I believe it’s a rule of thumb. My understanding is there’s a greater likelihood of fat being evenly distributed if it comes in as fat rather than being made into fat. Fructose and alcohol are prominent drivers of central obesity so it’s sensible to limit or eliminate those if you tend to carry a bit of a paunch and want to buff up the old abs a bit :shifty: [/QUOTE]
