A lot of the aesthetic of "abs" is determined by factors independent of diet and exercise. Not everyone has the configuration of connective tissue needed for the "six pack" look. Some have extremely stubborn love handles or a "shelf" of lower abdominal fat that remain to some extent even at extremely low body fat levels, for reasons that don't seem to really be understood (everyone I've seen who claims to have an explanation is selling something).
- BobaFloutist 2y agoYeah, that's fair, I've had very low bodyfat and been pretty fit in the past without having a sixpack, so I know it's not something everyone can reasonably achieve. I guess I would assume that the overlap of people that would be this motivated to get a six pack, people for whom a surgical sixpack would look reasonably convincing, and people who cannot otherwise achieve a sixpack would be relatively small, and it seems I would be wrong to assume that.
