Diet/Weight Loss: "Firm Fat" vs "Soft Fat"
5'10"
29 YO

i've struggled with my weight for a number of years and was as high as 228lbs. My stomach area has always been an issue, every other area on my body has been muscular.
Anyways, I lost 18lbs over the course of a year or so doing various workouts, and my fat around my stomach stayed the same in terms of firmness (love handles, lower abs, etc.).
Starting this past Jan, I rev'd up my workouts, and been on a strict diet, and am working with a trainer and have gone from 210 down to 201 this morning. I'm doing tons of cardio, and strength training 3x week. The last few days I've noticed a huge difference around the lower part of my stomach and love handles as the fat is very soft (almost gross). This is obviously the fat breaking down. I've never had this soft fat persay.
My question: Now that the fat is starting to loosen up, will it break down quicker then if it was firm? I'm assuming its the combination of foods and my workout program.
