Battling Belly Fat
The older
we get, the more careful we have to be about what we eat, and the more we have
to exercise to maintain our weight. And for most of us, the worst thing about
this is when we gain weight it doesn’t at least have the decency to distribute
itself evenly throughout our bodies. Instead it all gravitates to one spot and
we begin to suffer from the dreaded MTS: Muffin Top Syndrome.
Why does
this happen? It’s due in large part to the fact that the older we get, the more
likely our bodies are to lose muscle mass and tone[i]. And of course the less
muscle we have, the fewer calories we burn even at rest (because muscle mass is
more metabolically active — or burns more calories — than fat mass)[ii], and
the more likely we are to gain even more weight.
To make
matters worse, the Mayo Clinic says, “many women notice an increase in belly
fat as they get older — even if they aren’t gaining weight.”[iii] So even if
your weight isn’t changing, you may notice that your body shape IS… and not for
the better.
But you
don’t have to just give up and buy some high-waisted “mom” jeans in attempt to
keep your belly from pouring out the top of your pants. Instead, go on the
offensive and beat that belly bulge.
Attack Strategy 1: Exercise
Exercise
burns calories to help you slim down, can improve mood and is good for overall
health. And if you add some strength training to your cardio you’ll build
muscle, which can help you burn more calories even when you’re at rest!
Attack Strategy 2: Watch What You Eat
Cutting out
high fat, high sugar foods is not only healthy, but may help you shed some
extra pounds. Be especially wary of foods with refined sugar — like some
crackers and white breads — that may not be as obviously full of sugar as a bag
of candy but can still add plenty of empty calories to your diet.
Attack Strategy 3: Consider Extra Help
If trying
to lose weight stresses you out, you’re more likely to binge on comfort foods
and blow your diet. Plus, even ordinary, everyday stress can cause your body to
increase or retain belly fat, which means your attempts to diet might actually
be causing you to retain that unsightly belly fat. Talk about the ultimate
backfire. But there are a few innovative supplement companies who have
addressed this problem with what they call weight-loss “adjuncts.”
These
compounds aren’t “diet pills” in the true sense of the word. Instead, they’re
designed to help diet and exercise plans work by helping to reduce diet-related
stress and anxiety. The most popular “belly fat” pill is called Relacore®. It’s
sold over 12.7 million bottles worldwide and has been America’s #1 selling
“belly fat” pill for five years running. The Carter-Reed Company™, maker of
Relacore, says the product was specifically formulated to work with diet and
exercise to “help reduce tummy bulge by helping to reduce diet-related stress
and anxiety… the same stress and anxiety that can lead to stubborn belly fat
retention (not to mention that all-time diet killer ‘Nervous Binge Eating’).”
So if you
feel like you’re losing the fight against belly fat, don’t surrender. You CAN
beat it and get that slim-looking, sexy waistline you’ve been dreaming of!
