Been looking a different solutions, will post some research and maybe try a few soon. At the moment the general categories seem to be:
Massage: this seems a good idea straight after exercise and in starvation mode. Otherwise I worry that fiddling with it may make it more pronounced.
Fat-burning creams or masks: these may just temporarily dehydrate the area.
Neoprene band: Again, might just be that it makes you sweat and dehydrates the area.
Corsetry: Hard to tell if this relocates fat or just the organs - also, many tighlacers have a 'pooch' under the area where the corset stops
Hormonal manipulation: Difficult to tell if your disposition for belly fat would come back twice as strongly after stopping. I've heard about a glycyrrhetinic acid cream to block cortisol's effect in the desired area and Aminophylline cream which I've heard various things about - maybe it blocks the effect of oestrogen in the area, maybe it dehydrates or maybe it shrinks the fat cells. arg.
Omega 3: Supposedly stops abdominal viseral fat being preferentially stored, but my problem is mostly subcutaneous.
