When we gain weight, we often have a tendency to gain belly… Also, when we decide to get rid of our superfluous kilos, in addition to going on a diet, we often opt for an adequate sports practice. In fact, it is logical to think that by choosing exercises that target the area we want to slim down, we will get results faster. However, this belief would be wrong if we believe Martijn Henckens, dietitian.

The expert explained to our colleagues at Laatste Nieuws that abdominal fat is mainly due to too much sugar in the blood, which then turns into abdominal fat. A hormonal imbalance can also hide behind this fat storage. “Hormones burn fat and build muscle. If you eat healthy, your hormones and your vitamin intake remain balanced and you store little bad fat,” explains the expert.

Finally, stress is also responsible for stomach upset. In fact, cortisol, the stress hormone, causes the body to release glucose into the blood, which once once more turns into abdominal fat. “Because your body rarely acts during stress, the glucose created by stress is not used. The body stores fat, especially around the belly. Besides exercise, relaxation is therefore also important for weight loss”.

Also, the dietician explains that the abs are a good exercise to tone the abdominal area, but they do not burn fat. Also, given the explanations provided by the dietitian, if you want to target your belly in particular, it is better to limit stress as much as possible, reduce sugar consumption and not skip breakfast. If you want to exert yourself physically, you can favor cardio exercises in order to burn a maximum of calories on the whole body.
