Recently the section on Subcutanesou fat loss was deleted from the article on the basis of being unreferenced. Since it is mostly fairly unsurprising in content and appears to relate to the article topic, it isn't clear that it should be removed. What issue(s) need addressing? What assertions need referencing for verification before it is restored? (Or where would the content be more appropriate). Zodon (talk) 00:48, 11 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

All the content that is removed needs ref. And that burden relies on you who is adding that back, see WP:REF, I need not remind to a wiki veteran like you. Goesgolf20 (talk) 03:52, 13 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Deleting the more relevant half of a stub seems pretty pointless to me, even if it doesn't have references. People coming to an article called "subcutaneous fat" aren't looking for a fringe theory of human evolution, but they probably are looking for something to do with weight loss. --Dan Wylie-Sears 2 (talk) 03:12, 12 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Excessive subcutaneous fat is considered unattractive in many different cultures around the world, particularly in western cultures. Terms such as "belly fat" and "love handles" refer to abdominal subcutaneous fat. In addition to subcutaneous fat being unattractive, obesity is a leading cause of health problems and premature death.

The weight loss industry offers a wide range of products that claim to reduce or eliminate subcutaneous fat, typically by chemical, electronic or mechanical means.

A more traditional approach to subcutaneous fat loss involves consistently following a healthy diet and strength training combined with regular aerobic exercise. However, this approach demands more discipline and persistence. Many people purchase weight loss products in the hope of losing subcutaneous fat as quickly and effortlessly as the products' advertisments often claim.
