that's the thing, you can't just eat, you also gotta exercise. If she was doing good abdomen exercises like crunches, she'd be left with just a big ass, which is always a win.

Exercises targeting certain areas of the body don’t work if your goal is to move fat around.

The unfortunate truth is that fat cells don’t move around, they’re stuck exactly where they are. All they can do is swell up or shrink as they store or release energy. You can of course grow more fat cells (this happens as you get overweight) but their locations tend to genetic (as is your whole body plan).

Being trans does move our fat location around, so weight cycling in early days can help “redistribute” it to the new places but that will happen naturally over time.

I believe it’s still just growing new fat cells in locations you didn’t have them before. Your old fat cells stay where they are.

Pretty much, people say redistribution but it’s only new growth elsewhere. Eventually your old fat cells will die off and you will only gain the weight in the new locations.

Is that what they call trans fat?
