Excess Fat

There are many people who feel they have excess fat on their body. This can range from a small isolated pocket of fatty tissue, to a more noticeable bulge.

Everyone’s body has its own unique shape and size, and a person’s height will often determine what is considered by experts to be their recommended weight. Having a little body fat is natural and just because a person finds they have a pinchable fatty deposit, this does not mean they are overweight.

Fat will distribute itself differently in every individual, settling in a specific area(s). Most commonly, people experience excess fat on places such as: the stomach, buttocks, back, hips and thighs, although it can also affect: the upper arms, knees, under the chin and around the bra line. Although some body fat doesn’t always cause a concern, it may be down to having consumed more calories than required. To gain weight, a person usually has a diet that is higher in energy than their body is able to naturally use up or burn off, with foods that are high in fat or sugar being the main contributors. Genetics will also play their part in influencing the size and shape of a person’s body.
