As an obese child is it harder for me to get a six pack, without surgery removing skin/fat cells?

because i was obese at an early age i have more fat cells on my body, not just biger ones. i used to be 5'10" weigh 240 with a 44in waist and something like 35-40% body fat, this was one of the times i was at my healthiest, freshmen year.





now, i weigh about 170, 34in waist, and have about 15% (i don't know the electric shock tester sucks) body fat. i hate counting calories and think that just eating, whole foods, slower and drinking alot of water should be efficient. i workout alot, right now i'm injured, but am in the remodeling phase and will be back in action soon. is it harder for me to get a lower body fat % because i was obese so young? does my excess skin affect having a sixpack (my mom has one and she's had 3 kids. so, i don't think it does, it just looks bad)?





let me know, and please list you sources, whether it's your experience as a fatty, your profession, or if it's an article i would like to be able to find it.


thank you.

Well, its gonna be harder for you than say someone guy who is naturally thinner or toned.


But you just have to cut out junk, eat right, and work-out.


My brother, was rather chubby when he was younger and now has an 8-pack. So just eat right and exersice,
Reply:This a very medical question, I can't answer it directly, probably only a doctor could. But I will dispense some helpful advice anyway.





Concerned about your skin you should eat avocados. They are high in vitamin E and reduce things like stretch marks from the inside which is where they begin.





Reducing body fat is achieved by increasing muscle. But 15% isn't bad anyway, even professional body builders have about 10%!
