> Can't I just exercise a fat part of my body to make the fat go away? Can I just do a bunch of sit-ups to make my gut go away?

I did nutrition and PE in my final 3 years of high school over 16 years ago and as a result have a pretty good base understanding. Yes its a myth, however at no point have I ever heard someone ask if they can spot lose weight. It's always been this question that someone has supposedly asked and is a myth, I've never had someone think they can spot lose weight in the first place. It's been this answer to a question hardly anyone asks, but maybe I'm wrong.

Good guide nonetheless, always good to refresh ourselves
