How do I lose the fat around my belly?

[Gary Turner]

Hi,

It may be that you have reached your correct genetic size, and that your body will therefore resist further reductions.

It could also be the adipose tissue - the fat storage cells - that are now empty of fat that remain following your weight loss. The only way to reduce this is through surgery - there is no exercise or diet approach that will work.

It could be that you have hormonal imbalance - look to have your estrogen levels checked.

It could be that you are suffering from the effects of stress - cortisol is a potent releaser of fat from storage, however, if that fat isn't utilised it will find a home in the stomach region. If stress remove the stressor or learn a more beneficial reaction to that stressor.

In other words there is lots it could be...so if you have fears it could be a medical issue I would suggest seeing your GP and getting screened for the possibilities...

Hope this helps a little!
