I am a skinny girl: should I get liposuction or more CoolSculpting treatments? (Photos)

August 4, 2017
Asked By:ghs3 in Los Angeles, CA

I weight train 5 x week and get in 30 mins of steady state cardio every day. I've tried many different methods of losing fat: 1. Progressively altering calorie & carb intake 2. HIIT/LISS 3. Coolsculpting. I've had 2 sessions & they both failed. Both times my body fat % only changed by 2-4%. Basically, I seem to lose fat in every part of my body except in my abdominal region. I'm currently standing at 21% body fat. My lowest has been 17%. Even then the abdominal fat remains (belly pooch).
