Interesting Analogy: Stubborn Belly Fat = Deep end of the Pool

Here's an excerpt from this week's Burn the Fat, Feed the Muscle newsletter. I totally agree with this.

For men, the belly and especially lower abdominals is the
last place the fat "sticks to" and the last to go, very
much like some women have difficulty with hip and thigh fat.

I've said this many times in this e-zine, but i will keep
repeating it: you cant "spot reduce" fat from one part of
your body to the exclusion of others.

I'm fully aware of the products and the ads that are still
on TV and in the magazines that say that you can spot reduce,
but get that idea of "spot reducing" fat out of your head.

If you want, you can waste your mone y on "sauna belts," wraps,
creams, lotions, gels, pills and all kinds of other scams, but
in the end you'll discover the truth for yourself...

You have to burn lower abdominal fat like any other body
fat --- through exercise and nutrition -- and abdominal fat
is simply the last place to go.

Here's an important analogy you should remember:

Think of abdominal fat as the deep end of an inground swimming
pool. No matter how much you protest, you cannot drain the
deep end before the shallow end...

The "deep end" will drain for certain, but it will be the LAST
place to drain.

I am experiencing this right now. My hips and thighs are finally losing the fat. I weighed 136 lbs today! I will keep plugging away at it until I look like the triathlete that I am.
