Gained lots of fat around belly this Holiday season

I put on quite a bit of fat around my belly and torso over the coarse of the last few weeks and was wondering what I can expect in terms of losing all this new fat. I am going back on deficit and I'm wondering if newly formed fat cells come off just as fast as they came on. Make sense at all? In other words, will it be tougher at all to lose this new fat? Will my body cling on to this fresh fat and try to eliminate excess weight elsewehere?

Any insight welcome. Thanks.

Almost everybody gains weight over the holidays. No It will not come off fast...except water weight....Just eat clean and exercise and undo the damage...

It isn't new fat, you just made the fat cells that you already have expand.  It will go down if you excercise and eat right.  Holiday foods tend to be salty, so drink a lot of water to flush the sodium out.

Just find a good fitness program and stick to it and eat clean. Fat comes of the body in sheets not from one area more than the other, in other words you cannot spot reduce fat.

The areas with the most fat will be the last areas to get lean. Just stick with it and keep your eyes on your goal.

It will take some time, since you eat everyday and your body is constantly absorbing new foods. There is nothing to worry about, though. Give yourself time and eventually you will lose the weight the healthy way.
