About the video:
When it comes to losing stubborn fat, a lot of people would love to be able to specifically lose fat in areas such as their stomach, lower abs, love handles, or hips. Unfortunately, we can’t spot reduce fat. Where do you lose weight first is determined by your genetics. Now while there are differences from where we lost fat first, there are also patterns of fat loss that we can observe to get an idea of how fat loss works.
And in this video, I explain the five stages of losing body fat, starting with the areas of body fat we lose first, such as face fat, neck fat, fat on shoulders, chest fat, eventually losing fat on lower back and all the way to losing fat on lower abs. You need to be aware of these stages of losing weight, so you know what to expect when losing weight and getting to a low body fat percentage.

In August 2025 I was at a crazy 242 lbs (I gained 55 lbs in a year due to meds) and in 10 months I managed to go back to 189 lbs, but I still have a bit of love handles, even tho the rest of my body and face is kinda leaner. I’m 23 and 185 cm tall
This guy probably lost the last of the fat mincing
Im at 15% now. Want to get to 10% and stay there. Any suggestions?
I started my weight loss journey October 24,2025 at 243 pounds.
I just hit 176 june 7th 2026. Im 5"11 at 47 years old. Everything has changed, my stomach has slightly went down along with the man boobs and love handles. I originally wanted too stop at 180. But wasn't satisfied, then i said 170, but i dont think 6 pounds is going too correct these problems. I count all my calories, i work out with a mixture of cardio and strength training 5 days a week. Should i consider going down too 160??
Your visceral fat image looks like Donald Trump. 😂
What it takes years building the fat up and it will take years to take it back off unless you go see a plastic surgeon! Just remember it takes time!
I've been in stage 4 for a few months to a year now. I gotta be doing something wrong 😢
Great video, if u want that little bit of fay gone, do a three day fast, hit 5he sauna at least 3 times a week for 20 minutes, fat gone😮
Yeah me again (2026) from 2023….have your MVB compare your photos…I was shocked by how much my face shrunk! (1:50) I kept my belt from when I hit 200 plus and dropped many belt holes….actually I am ready to buy my fourth belt since my last purchase….my son still looks 8 months pregnant!!!
Stage 4 baby!
I’m on my last 3-4kg that I need to lose and oh my …. even after doing Pilates 4 days a week and a healthy diet with 2litres+ fluids my weight still fluctuates. Instead of dropping I’m either plateau or gaining 1kg 😢😢😢😢
Where is your accent from?
Thank you Mario Tomic, this helped me a lot , I almost thought I wasn’t going to lose the last bit of belly fat after a while
Excellent explantion. Many thanks. Now I know how it is
what about the fat in the chest
I'm on stage 3 and I really need an extended elaboration for it
I am between 4 and 5
I hit the like button to save muscle 😅
I went from like 215-220 to now being at 175 pounds at 6’1.
I’m thinking after losing another 7 pounds I don’t think I’m going to want to cut more than that. My goal is to get to 12-14% body fat and then lean bulk from there but this last stage is so hard.
This guy is great! Thanks so much!
You can spot reduce actually according to new study
Im at 0 percent body fat
