As a coach, I get versions of these questions ALL the time, so let’s clear up a few things about fat loss, muscle, genetics, loose skin and what actually changes your shape‼️
You cannot choose where your body loses fat!
You want a smaller waist and less stomach fat, but you want your b***s and butt to stay exactly the same?🫠
That’s not how fat loss works‼️
If you lose a significant amount of body fat, your breasts will usually lose some volume because breasts contain both glandular tissue and fat.
Same with your glutes 🍑
If you haven’t spent years building a solid foundation of glute muscle, a lot of that size may be coming from body fat.
When you lose the fat, your glute measurements will probably come down too!
This is exactly why I’m always telling women to BUILD MUSCLE.
If you want shape when you’re leaner, you need to build the body underneath the fat.
And about loose skin☝🏼
If you’ve lost a significant amount of weight, especially after carrying that weight for years, some loose skin can be completely normal. Same thing after pregnancy.
There is no exercise that can magically remove loose skin.
Building muscle can help fill out some of that space and improve how your body looks, but building enough muscle to replace a large amount of lost volume takes YEARS of consistent training.
Genetics matter A LOT.
Some women naturally carry more fat in their hips, glutes and legs while staying relatively lean through their waist. Others hold more through their stomach, back or arms.
So when you see someone online with a six pack, tiny waist, full glutes and curves everywhere else, remember you have no idea what you’re comparing yourself to.
It could be genetics.
It could be years of building muscle.
And yes, in some cases liposuction or fat transfer can change where someone carries volume!!!
You can’t tell your body:
“Take the fat from my stomach.”
“Take it from my arms.”
“Keep my b***s.”
“Keep my butt.”
“And tighten all my skin when you’re done.”
Fat loss makes you smaller.
Muscle is what helps create the shape underneath.
Lose the fat you need to lose.
Build the muscle🙏🏼
Give your body time.
Work WITH your genetics, not against them👸🏻
