if we gain weight, which part of our body gets fat first?

It depends on several factors...\n\nWhether you are male or female- males are more prone to gain in their bellies while women may gain first in thighs, hips, & butts.\n\nHeredity-look at your other family members. This is probably the best way. Some people tend to gain around the middle more so than anywhere else. Ever notice how some obese people have more fat in some places than in others???\n\nStress-someone before me said that stress causes a release in cortisol. this is correct. this hormone causes fat to be stored in & around the middle section of the body. it is true for males & females.

The type of food doesn't matter. Your body just stores fat from the calories you consume wherever it wants to. If you want more shape behind, you just have to gain a little weight and do some muscle-building exercises.

Metabolism......all young people are blessed with it, as you grow older it slows down. If you want to gain weight you have to eat more protine and things like that, its not always the sugar that makes you fat.

It doesn't. It builds muscle which weighs more than fat.

Fat is a certain type of tissue filled with water.  So part of it gets sweated or peed out.  It also gets converted to energy and used up.

It's impossible to lose or gain weight (fat) in a specific region of the body. When you lose weight, you lose overall body fat you. Some people just have more fat stores in butt cheeks and breasts, and there's nothing you can do to lose or gain it in those places.\n\nFor example, a big breasted woman and small brested woamn of same size, both gain 20 lbs, both their breasts will get bigger; but the small breasted woman won't get bigger breasts than the bigger breasted woman. This is true with cheeks and butt as well.\n\nYou hear people say to isolate an area with exercise, but that just works the muscle in that region. Working on the muscle in that specific region will not make theat specific region small. It might get a little bigger, but for cheeks, not much muscle exercise is gonna make it look fuller. Sorry to disappoint. When you lose weight, you lose fat from all over, including cheeks.

You will not necessarily become fatter.  First your body will survive off of your fat deposits than it will turn to eating your muscles and you will find yourself tired and unable to do much physical activity.  Your metabolism will forever be changed and as you gain weight back, this is where you will become more fat.  Muscle takes work to develop and re-develop and unless you work and exercise when you begin to eat again, you will gain more fat than muscle.  Your body will not be able to process the food the way that it used to and it will take twice as much to be able to be healthy again.

A pound of fat takes up 2.5 times the space as a pound of muscle. So you can weigh the same, or more, and be much smaller if you're building muscles.

yes, fat is caused by unused calories and fat, so if you eat more in the morning, the fat and calories will get used up during the day like by walking or moving around. Its better then eating a lot during dinner then a few hours later, going to bed and just laying there still which doesnt use much up much calories but just turns them into extra fat.

You are losing fat and building muscle, which ultimately should help rev up your metabolism and help you lose more fat. A slight weight gain isn't bad, because muscle weighs more than fat, but you don't want to keep going in that direction. Keep up the exercise, but make sure to watch your diet too. To lose weight, you will need to burn off more calories than you consume.

from what I learned in my anatomy class, when you gain fat cells you never lose them. They shrink when you lose weight. Thats why overweight people have to stick with a healthy lifestyle after they lose a bunch of weight because its so easy to enlarge those fat cells again if they go back to bad eating habits.

carbohydrates are digested and are coverted to glucose for energy,the excess glucose would be turned to glycogen(fat) which would be stored in our liver, under the skin etc. fats and protein are not immediate sources of glucose therefore they are not directly contributive to weight gain however, protein is broken down into amino acids by our body with the aid of enzymes,to repair our muscles and other tissues hence, protein is stored. fat however is transformed to glucose firs, then to glycogen, same as with that of carbohydrates

If you placed 1lb of muscle next to 1lb of fat, the fat would be 2-3 times the size of the muscle. Muscle doesn't weigh more than fat, it is just more dense. HTH : )

Without hestation, a flatter chest and tummy.  When you gain weight in the tummy you ultimately gain weight in the chest and too much weight gain is bad for you.
