    You knwo…my fiance and I were JUST talking about this. He and I both are competitive athletes, we train hard every day, and we both are very thin. We still have a little bit of fat that covers up our abs, and it’s not because we aren’t trying. I truly think there are just some people who carry a little bit of fat in their abdomen, no matter how they diet or exercise.
