Can't Lose Belly Fat? Here's A Simple Solution.
August 21, 2023
We usually use BMI (Body Mass Index) to determine whether we are overweight or not. But it may be more important to examine where the fat is accumulating in our body. If fat is stored around the hips, buttocks, or thighs, it can be fine. But if it is around the belly, you have to pay attention to it and take immediate action to lose belly fat as it can create serious health risks.
Belly fat is the most dangerous kind of fat because it can surround internal organs and increase the risks of developing several kinds of serious health problems, including heart disease, diabetes, liver problems, and some types of cancer.
Measuring your belly fat - harmful or not?
How much belly fat is the danger signal? Place a tape measure just above the hip bone. Breathe out, then check the measurement. More than 35 inches for women or more than 40 inches for a man indicate an increased risk of developing heart disease and TypeⅡ diabetes.
How to decrease belly fat?
Drink more water! Get more sleep! Eat right! Exercise! These are golden rules for people wanting to lose weight and maintain a healthy weight. And exercise is considered a key weapon in the battle against belly fat, especially aerobic exercise. Exercise not only helps redistribute fat to the best places in the body but also helps build lean muscle mass.
Why is my belly fat hard to lose even if I have a healthy diet and exercise regularly?
1. Belly fat itself is hard to break down. We carry 2 fat cells in our body: alpha and beta. Alpha cells respond better to lipolysis and accelerate the process while beta don’t respond well. Our belly has more beta cells than alpha cells, making it harder for the belly to lose the fat.
2. You may have leptin resistance. If you are overweight or obese, you may have built up resistance to a hormone called Leptin which signals to your brain that you are full. Leptin resistance causes people to feel hungry and eat more even though the body has enough fat stores, thus increasing total body mass.
3. You have a lower resting metabolic rate. You work hard to lose weight through an intensive program of exercise and dietary changes, but the result is as we lose weight, the body adapts to resist it by lowering the resting metabolic rate. It is not just that you aren’t trying hard enough - your efforts to lose weight are being actively undermined by biological adaptions of your body.
