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?

Fat accumulation for most people follows a center out pattern. So it starts on your tummy (or hips if you’re a woman) then your back then your limbs. When you lose weight you’ll notice the reverse. You’ll get defined arms and legs before you get a defined back and if you’re a guy most likely the last place to get defined will be your abs.
Think of it from a survival perspective. If you’re going to hold fat, its going to help you the most if it’s protecting your vital organs and keeping your core warmer. Fat limbs with a skinny body makes moving harder AND gives you less protection.
