I keep hearing “the first place you gain fat is the last place you lose it”. Is this true? If so, how does that work?

In my experience with dieting and reading about fitness I’ve heard many many times that the first place you gain fat is the last place you lose it. Is that a myth? It sounds like myth to me. If it’s not a myth then the last place you gain fat is the first place you lose it, right?

Say your partner brought home a few cool peices of art, you put them up in the best looking place right? Then they bring home more art and more and more, until eventually the place is covered with art. Then their hoard phase ends so you start by taking out the art that’s cluttering the place, then the ones that don’t really fit in on the wall, and before long you are left with art only in the spaces that look good, which happen to be the ones you started with.

You have a garage with tools to fix certain things on your car, you buy more and more. Eventually you have tools for cars you don’t own that may only be used once in a lifetime, and realize that a lot of them are useless to you so you start giving away the stuff you do not use and keeping important stuff.

Your body uses fat to protect the most important organs and then is forced to deal with “clutter” when you start losing weight the least important fat goes first
