So have you read his work? I have a question, what controls the 'love handles' fat? I have a friend who looks normal all over (flat stomach, no upperback/arm, thigh fat), but she has a lot of fat on her sides. Any idea what hormone controls that?
Until the recent use of dual x-ray absorptiometry and magnetic imagery (MRI), body composition testing was too crude to detect the subtle - yet statistically significant changes that take place in local regions of body fat.
Researchers in the areas of body composition using MRI and blood tests, have now determined correlations for certain hormones and where a person stores their fat. A few of the significant correlations include;
High Normal Blood Levels Local Fat Storage Estrogen Triceps & Thigh Cortisol Abdomen Insulin Love Handles & Visceral Fat (intra-organ) Testosterone Upper back
