Only way to lose any fat is to raise the body's temp. Exercise with small caloric intake.

The human body contains two types of fat tissue:

* White fat is important in energy metabolism, heat insulation and mechanical cushioning.
* Brown fat is found mostly in newborn babies, between the shoulders, and is important for thermo genesis (making heat).




When you eat food that contains fat, mostly triglycerides, it goes through your stomach and intestines. In the intestines, the following happens:


1. Large fat droplets get mixed with bile salts from the gall bladder in a process called emulsification. The mixture breaks up the large droplets into several smaller droplets called micelles, increasing the fat's surface area.
2. The pancreas secretes enzymes called lipases that attack the surface of each micelle and break the fats down into their parts, glycerol and fatty acids.
3. These parts get absorbed into the cells lining the intestine.
4. In the intestinal cell, the parts are reassembled into packages of fat molecules (triglycerides) with a protein coating called chylomicrons. The protein coating makes the fat dissolve more easily in water.
5. The chylomicrons are released into the lymphatic system -- they do not go directly into the bloodstream because they are too big to pass through the wall of the capillary.
6. The lymphatic system eventually merges with the veins, at which point the chylomicrons pass into the bloodstream.

You might be wondering why fat molecules get broken down into glycerol and fatty acids if they're just going to be rebuilt. This is because fat molecules are too big to easily cross cell membranes. So when passing from the intestine through the intestinal cells into the lymph, or when crossing any cell barrier, the fats must be broken down. But, when fats are being transported in the lymph or blood, it is better to have a few, large fat molecules than many smaller fatty acids, because the larger fats do not "attract" as many excess water molecules by osmosis as many smaller molecules would.


Sweating helps remove excess water so that you don't retain them in your fat cells, bloating them, giving them the larger appearance, thus making you look "fat".

Golly.....I do not know...I would think soft fat but who knows. Cause soft fat eventually tightens down to hard or hard fat. But hard fat I think is harder to get rid of cause there's not that much. Like I heard it's easier for bigger ppl to loose weight than medium big people.

I don't think there is "soft fat" and "hard fat." Your "soft fat" could be loose skin, which you can't lose purposely, I think it just goes away eventually, your "hard fat" could be muscle that you don't use much.

there are many kinds of fat. Everytime you eat something, look at the lable and look at the "saturated fat" and trans fat". Now the saturated fat is bad, you still need it in your diet, but its hard to loose. Trans fat is really bad and you can mostly never burn it in a short period of time

What is soft and hard fat?

It's more difficult to lose saturated fats compared to unsaturated fat.
