7 Reasons You Are Not Losing Belly Fat Losing belly fat is one of the most challenging things we face in trying to achieve positive weight loss results. Why is it so hard to get this section under control? Our belly fat can be a predictor of a variety of things including insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, heart disease or cancer. Getting rid of your belly fat even once you stabilize your health conditions can feel impossible, but finding the cure has everything with understanding the cause. Here are seven reasons you are not losing belly fat. Age Our age can increase our belly fat. It is true that with age, our midsection can become susceptible to expansion. As we age, we lose muscle mass which in turn decreases the number of calories we burn. With time, our bodies tend to relish those pesky fat cells, increasing belly fat. Bad Workout Choices Your workout regimen may not be the best choice of exercises that will help to rid you of belly fat. What exercises are best for belly fat? You always want to choose those exercises that will create the burn. Crunches, walking, running, plank exercises, swimming, and even cycling can help you to burn belly fat with consistent performance effectively. Hormones Hormonal shifts can sometimes contribute to our midsection. Prevention Magazine identified that insulin resistance could have a nasty effect on the hormone leptin which helps our body to recognize when it is full and satisfied. If your leptin levels are out of whack, your body sometimes fails to immediately recognize that it is time to stop eating or that it is full. Food Choices Our dietary habits can completely ruin anything you are doing to take control of your belly fat. To shed those excess pounds, take steps to eat foods that are rich in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. Lean protein can be another ally in your quest for a trimmer waistline. Try to steer clear of processed foods. They contain high levels of sugar and saturated fat. Too Much Soda Do you drink soda like its water? If so, it is highly likely that this beverage is contributing to the fat around your midsection. Studies show that people who drink sugary sodas have a higher risk of developing fat around their organs. People who manage to consume sugary drinks often are most likely to experience a gain of 27 percent more visceral fat than people who never drink them. ****************************************** Please like, subscribe and follow and share this with someone who is trying to live the FIT life! **************************************** Download my App “GoJen 180FIT” for my live workout schedule, master classes nutrition courses one and one coaching, swag, and everything GoJen 180fit related! ************************************* Subscribe to my YouTube Channel “GoJen 180FIT” ****************************** Reach out to me any time 180fit@gojenfitness.com GoJen
