Getting Rid Of Belly Fat: Beer Belly or Stress Belly

In order to get rid of belly fat you should know what causes abdominal fat to accumulate and give you that flab belly. There is no one size fit all formula when it comes to health and health issues. That is the main reason why modern medicine has failed so many of us.

Getting rid of belly fat naturally is a science, but also an art. You will agree with me as we discuss two of the many causes that cause stomach fat.

Beer

A 12oz can of beer contains any where from 100 to 200 calories; let’s do the average which is 150 calories, if you drink just 2 beers a day that’s a whopping 300 calories a day that you add to your diet. The extra calories that you take in at night have no where to go but to be converted into fat, or what is called beer belly.

There is a reason they call it a beer gut. Beside calories beer is filled with sugars that become empty calories that deplete your body from nutrients and enzyme burning fat. Calories in beer are the one that convert into stubborn belly fat, the ones that like to stick with you for the rest of your life.

I think it’s clear that one should quit drinking beer, if he or she has the intention to rid of belly fat. Otherwise no magical pill will do it for you.

Stress

Stomach fat is wired with extra blood vessels more than any other fat in the body except for the brain. It has a higher blood supply and more receptors for the stress hormone cortisol. Chronic stress causes the blood level of cortisol to stay high; a high blood cortisol level directs the body to store more fat in the abdominal area since there are more cortisol receptors there.

Learn to relax, and eat more relaxing food and stay away from fast digesting carbohydrates that cause your blood sugar level to fluctuate and make you feel under constant stress.
