4 Hormones That Cause Belly Fat : How To Lose Abdominal Fat And Get Skinny

4 Hormones That Make Your Belly Fat : How To Lose Abdominal Fat And Get Skinny

We already discussed the 3 Hormones That Make You Skinny And How To Make Them Work For You. Now for the bad news. Here are the 4 Hormones that make you fat! They are Insulin, Estrogen, Leptin, and Cortisol.

Belly Fat Hormone #1. Insulin

Insulin spikes make you fat. If you are feeling starved that pretty much means your insulin has already spiked and the next thing you put into your mouth will now get stored as fat. Refined carbs and sugar are the worst offenders sending blood sugar sky-rocketing. These types of carbs raise endorphins in the brain like a drug, but the high is short-lived.

What to Do To Lose The Belly Fat:

Avoid simple or high glycemic carbohydrates. (Potatoes, pasta, bread, candy, soda, juice, refined anything ect.)
If you must have your “fix” try to make it around 150 calories and under 5 grams of sugar per serving so as not to spike your blood sugar.

Belly Fat Hormone #2. Estrogen

Too much estrogen causes weight gain, cellulite, cancer and makes you feel soft and spongy.

What to Do To Lose The Belly Fat:

Avoid Processed foods
Eat high fiber (25-30 grams per day)
Avoid too much caffeine
Avoid too much alcohol (Impedes livers ability to metabolize estrogen)
Stay away from plastics! (If you are using plastic make sure it is BPA FREE, otherwise get rid of it!)
Soy products increase estrogen so limit your consumption.

Belly Fat Hormone #3. Leptin

When you have adequate levels of Leptin in your body it tells your body to stop eating. When it is low it causes you to store fat.

What to Do To Lose The Belly Fat:

Avoid MSG
Get plenty of sleep
Eat slowly
Eat Fish
Get more zinc (Poultry and seafood are high in zinc)

Belly Fat Hormone #4. Cortisol

Cortisol is the stress hormone and just as nasty as it sounds. As if you didn’t have enough problems, this lil’ guy will make you store fat around your middle like a spare tire.

What to Do To Lose The Belly Fat:

Cultivate a sense of humor
Practice yoga
Take long deep diaphragmatic breaths
Get more sleep
Eat a healthy diet
Meditate
Remove yourself from upsetting situations when possible until you calm down.
Maintain close bonds with family and friends
Listening to soothing music
Limit your exposure to violent TV shows and movies
Eat white beans, citrus fruits, and black tea.
Take magnesium and Vitamin C
