assertion
Analysis v1

When men have more than 25% body fat, their belly stores fat more easily and is harder to lose than other areas.

Scientific Claim

For men, body fat exceeding 25% results in the abdominal region becoming the preferred site for fat storage, making it both easier to gain and harder to lose fat in this area.

Original Statement

For men under 25% body fat, their belly fat levels are actually about the same as the rest of their body. But once you go above 25% your belly now becomes the preferred place for fat storage. And this doesn't just mean belly fat becomes easier to gain. It also means it becomes harder to lose.
