Stubborn Fat – Stomach, Flanks, Thighs, Arms

Fat pockets that resist diet and exercise.

There are some pockets of fat, on the stomach, flanks, thighs or arms, that simply won't budge, no matter how clean your diet or how hard you train. It's not a willpower problem; where your body holds fat is largely down to genetics. These stubborn areas can be reduced without surgery, and without downtime.

What is stubborn fat?

Localised, pinchable pockets of fat, on the stomach, flanks (“love handles”), thighs or upper arms, that stay put despite a healthy diet and regular exercise. These areas often feel disproportionate to the rest of the body.

What causes stubborn fat?

Some fat is simply more stubborn by nature. Where your body stores fat, and how easily it lets it go, is shaped largely by genetics and hormones rather than overall weight, which is why targeted pockets can persist even when you’re close to your goal.
