My weight loss has stalled since losing 35-40lbs from June 09 - New Years. Not a big deal since I reached my goal of 170lbs(actually made it to 165). So for the last month and a half, I had hopped back on creatine & whey protein eating at maintenance caloric intake and now back to 170lbs(probably water weight.) Anyway I noticed something unusual... despite being on a maintain level for 45+days, I still notice a very small gradual reduction of belly fat. Obviously at my stage, it's unlikely that I'm gaining muscle at any point during my cutting/maintenance phases.
Before I had lost 40lbs, I was relatively lean on the upper body with most of my fat around my flank, belly and thigh. Since I'm now around 10% bf, I only have 4 abs showing with the bottom 2 covered in a small layer that still seem to be shrinking still. My only guess is that since I'm still on a lifting and cardio routine that when I eat, fat distributes evenly and when I workout, fat is burned evenly which means that areas with more overall fat will continue to fade(or average out) while leaner areas will compensate by taking on fat for the same reason?
