Here’s the real truth…(the last is the MOST important):
- Everyone has belly fat
- Some belly fat is healthy & normal
- Fat distribution is genetic. Some people hold more fat in their belly region
- With aging, the body pushes fat storage to the belly more than other areas
- No ‘special routine’ or amount of abdominal exercise will get rid of belly fat
- Modifying lifestyle habits & a calorie deficit can reduce belly fat
- You’re WONDERFUL even if you have some belly fat.
Very few people are blessed with the ability to have visible abs without a GREAT DEAL OF SACRIFICE.
Will your life be that much better with a six pack? Probably not.
Will you be healthier with less belly fat? Possibly.
So how about this?…
Make HEALTH the first priority & accept all the wonderful things your body is capable of doing (even with a bit of belly fat).
When you prioritize health, you may inadvertently reduce belly fat.
But nobody really cares if you have a 6 pack anyways.
AND don’t give up just because you’re menopausal – the calorie deficit rule still applies, it can just be a bit more challenging.
