4 Overlooked Reasons Why You May Be Struggling To Remove Your Banana Rolls 

Many people want to remove stubborn fat deposits from various body parts. It can be anything from muffin tops, love handles, saddlebags, or banana roll fat. These names sound innocent enough, but they can easily make a woman self-conscious about her body. 

In the case of banana rolls, the shape of the buttocks and thighs is distorted. It can make a woman feel so uncomfortable that she avoids certain types of clothing (bikinis or tight pants). However, it is essential to understand the causes of banana roll fat to find the proper treatment. 

What is a Banana Roll?

Banana roll fat is a crescent-shaped fat pocket below the buttock fold (parallel to it). It is located on the upper part of the thigh. It is so named because of the "banana shape" under the skin. It can occur to varying degrees in individuals. 

It is so pronounced that some people consider it to be another, smaller version of their actual buttocks. This can affect the shapely curvature of the buttocks, preventing them from having the classic round appearance. There are many different reasons why this happens. Depending on that, surgical or non-surgical intervention may help. 

What Are Some Causes of Banana Roll Fat?

The following causes may underlie the development of a banana roll under the buttocks: 

1. Genetics 

Your genetics play an essential role in determining which parts of your body store fat. It is believed that banana fat rolls are hereditary. If you have them, your family may have them too. 

2. Sedentary Lifestyle

Few people who work in an office or watch TV for 8-9 hours a day actively exercise. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), 60-85% of people have a sedentary lifestyle. If calorie intake is higher than calorie burn, it can lead to fat accumulation. And this can result in banana roll fat. 

Research has shown that fat cells become larger under chronic pressure, which happens with prolonged sedentary periods. These extra fat cells stiffen and eventually damage surrounding cells. 

3. Hormonal Imbalances 

Hormones in the body influence how many calories are burned. Any imbalance in their levels can eventually cause weight gain. This can lead to fat storage in the thighs and buttocks. In women, this can manifest as a result of pregnancy and menopause. 

4. Diet 

The type of food you eat can fill your body with unnecessary calories. This is especially true if you don't exercise. Foods high in refined sugars, carbohydrates, and bad fats are not ideal, such as:

1. White pasta
2. Bread 
3. Pizza 
4. Ice cream 
5. Cookies
6. Candy
7. Fried, cheesy foods 
8. Red meat
