How body fat is lost?

First thing first, there are two types of body fat:


•    Visceral fat (surrounding internal organs): apple-shaped people are more likely to accumulate this type of fat.

•    Subcutaneous fat (beneath the skin): apple-shaped people tend to accumulate fat in the belly and back, while pear shaped people gets this fat in the buttocks and around the hips.
