Ready to uncover the mystery of abdominal fat? Buckle up, this will be an exciting journey with a touch of humor and a handful of interesting facts. Why is it so hard to get rid of that stubborn belly fat?

Stress and its long hands

First, let's talk about everyone's favorite villain: stress. Did you know that this nuisance can be a big culprit of those love handles? Yes, when we are stressed, our body produces cortisol, a hormone that basically screams "Store more fat in the belly!" Have you ever noticed that after a tough week at work, those pants feel tighter? Damn cortisol!

Disordered hormones, abdominal disorder

We can't ignore the hormonal drama. Especially for women, fluctuating levels of estrogen can affect where and how fat is stored. Menopause, with its drop in estrogen, plays a significant role here. On the other hand, hormone in, hormone out, our dear insulin also has a leading role causing resistance and fat accumulation.

Fat and its two faces: visceral and subcutaneous

Here's the crux of the matter, seriously: abdominal fat is not just one. We have subcutaneous fat, the one we can pinch (ouch) and visceral fat, which piles up around our internal organs. Visceral fat is the most dangerous and the hardest to lose, but don't be discouraged, fighting against it is possible!

Abdominal fat should alert us about our health. I suggest you read more about this here:





Genes of love... towards fat




Ah, genetics! Sometimes we feel like genetic lottery didn't treat us well. And yes, our genes influence the shape and location where we store fat. Have you ever wondered why you have more abdominal fat than your friend who eats the same as you?

Those mischievous genes have the answer.

Food and metabolism

It's not all about genetics and hormones. Diet and metabolism are also important players in this game. Consuming more calories than you burn is a direct ticket to fat accumulation. But did you know that not everything depends on calories? How our body metabolizes food has a big impact.

So eating those salads is not just a matter of calories, it's about taking care of your intestinal microbiota, that community of microbes that happily lives in your gut.


Health conditions

Alright, now slow down a bit. Some health conditions such as insulin resistance or polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) make fat loss more difficult. If you identify with this, a visit to a medical professional can be a game-changer.

Move and breathe!

Let's get moving... physical activity! Running, swimming, lifting weights, it all counts. Did you know that doing only crunches won't give you a six-pack? We need a combination: aerobic exercises and strength training to melt that fat.

Time to Meditate... yoga for peace!

And let's not forget the role of zen in your journey. Meditation, yoga, and therapy are excellent for reducing those cortisol levels. Yes, relax and burn fat!

Here's a moment of reflection: how many times do you blame everything but stress? How many hours do you dedicate to your mental well-being? Also, reflect on your diet and those snacks that you won't even remember tomorrow, but contribute to those rolls.

Done! Now you know that the battle against abdominal fat is not a one-day thing, but with information and a good plan, you can achieve it! Are you ready to start? You can do it!
