Is stomach fat related to a decrease in hormones?
I have noticed gaining stomach fat more as I age, is that related to diet and exercise or hormone levels? If so, can I have blood tests to reveal which ones I am deficient in?
Weight has absolutely nothing to do with hormones unless your pregnant or in like your mid 50s or nearing menopause. Even then they have very little to do with your weight gain. Some hormones can promote food cravings, however, but that only usually happens for pregnant women. You should start exercising and eating healthier. Start cutting high carb and starchy foods out of your diet. Not completely, but limiting their consumption. Starches are like potatoes and High carb foods are like white bread, pops, white pasta, and white rice also don’t forget pastries, sweats, and junk foods;ex chips.
Exercise is important, but not nearly as important as diet.
Basically don’t exceed 1200 calories a day or else you’ll gain weight. If you want to lose weight just lower your calorie intake to 800-900 calories a day and then bump it up to 1200 once your happy with your size.
To achieve faster results you can tone your stomach area with exercises like crunches and sit ups. 100-200 of each at the beginning 5 x a week would greatly improve your results. Then 50 per each 5x a week after you pass a month would help you keep your results. It’s harder to earn the results and then later it;s easier to keep them. But to keep them you must stick to a exercise regime and a good diet.
