Why Fat Does Not Go Away With Gym and Diet
Why stubborn fat doesn't go away with gym and diet—spot reduction myth, genetics, and when liposuction or body contouring can help. The Sculptique Aesthetics, Mumbai.
Why fat does not go away with gym and diet is a question many people ask when they've lost weight but still have stubborn pockets—love handles, belly, thighs, double chin. The truth: spot reduction doesn't work the way we wish. Diet and exercise reduce overall body fat, but genetics, hormones, and fat cell distribution mean some areas hold on longer. This guide explains why fat doesn't go away in certain spots and when liposuction or body contouring can help. The Sculptique Aesthetics serves Mumbai, Bandra, Khar, Andheri, South Mumbai, and India with liposuction and body contouring Mumbai.
The spot reduction myth
Spot reduction—losing fat from one area by exercising that area—is largely a myth. Crunches don't melt belly fat alone; leg work doesn't strip thigh fat in isolation. Fat loss is whole-body: your body decides where it burns fat based on genetics, sex, and hormones. Why fat does not go away with gym and diet in one spot is often because that area is the last to shrink—or stubborn by nature. Exercise and diet are essential for health and overall weight, but they can't target specific fat deposits.
Genetics and stubborn fat
Stubborn fat is often genetically determined—love handles, saddlebags, lower belly, double chin can persist even at a healthy weight. Hormones (e.g. cortisol, oestrogen) also influence where fat is stored. Why fat does not go away with gym and diet in these areas isn't a failure of effort—it's biology. Liposuction removes fat cells from specific areas; those cells don't come back (though remaining cells can still expand if you gain weight). See liposuction vs weight loss.
When diet and gym aren't enough
When you're at a stable, healthy weight but still have stubborn pockets that gym and diet haven't shifted, liposuction can sculpt those areas. Liposuction Mumbai at The Sculptique Aesthetics is not a weight loss tool—it's for contouring and proportion. Body contouring can also address loose skin after major weight loss (e.g. tummy tuck). Why fat does not go away with gym and diet—when the answer is stubborn fat, liposuction may be the next step.
Liposuction: what it does and doesn't do
Liposuction removes fat cells from chosen areas—abdomen, flanks, thighs, arms, chin, etc. It does not replace diet or exercise; it refines shape. Best liposuction Mumbai is performed by qualified surgeons who understand anatomy and aesthetics. The Sculptique Aesthetics offers liposuction—see liposuction in Mumbai for a full guide.
