there is truth to this however there is also truth to the fact that the long you have had a fatty area; the harder it is to get rid of. I have fat around my lovehandles and back that I can get down to acceptable looking but its been there so long that I have tried diet, cardio, clen and T3,yohimburn.....although all these work there is a certain amount that WILL NOT go away. In these cases lypo is one of the few options. That way the old fat is gone and any new fat can easily be lost because it hasn't been there for years.
