So to sum things up: If you want to lose the belly fat you have to lose weight and general body fat?

In reply to Ryan. Yep, you might be on to something there. Research on "first on, first off" is not conclusive, but I have little doubt that larger fat reservoirs may provide proportionally more fat as energy than others.

One thing to add, not only is spot fat reduction a myth, but also that fat is stored unevenly in your body, and can vary from person to person. For example, some store fat in larger amounts around their abdomen, which is more common in men, while others store it in their hips and others store a larger percentage in their thighs. This ends up being both the first and last place that fat comes off of. I would guess that the place that has the most fat is the place people are trying to spot reduce, which is why this myth may propagate.
