Question five. Why do some people put fat on the tummy? And some people put fat on the bum? This is quite a fascinating question. And once again, the answer to this question lies with our hormones, primarily with insulin with a little help from Eastern and testosterone. Insulin not only promotes fat storage, but it also influences where we lay down the fat.

And it uses two special enzymes to do this called LPL, which stands for lipoprotein lipase and H L, which stands for hormone sensitive lipase.
