Men And Big Belly
How do you lose belly fat?

Why is belly fat dangerous?
Causes
How to lose belly fat
Takeaway
There are many reasons why people gain belly fat, including poor diet, lack of exercise, and stress. Improving nutrition, increasing activity, reducing stress, and making other lifestyle changes can all help people lose unwanted belly fat.
Belly fat refers to fat around the abdomen. There are two types of 1 belly fat:
2 Visceral: This fat surrounds a person’s organs.
Subcutaneous: This is fat that sits under the skin.
Health complications from visceral fat are more harmful than having subcutaneous fat. People can make many lifestyle and dietary changes to lose belly fat.
Why Is Belly Fat Dangerous?
A poor diet can increase the risk of heart disease, stroke, and type 2 diabetes.
Being overweight is one of the leading causes of major diseases.
Excess belly fat can increase the risk of:
heart disease
heart attacks
high blood pressure
stroke
type 2 diabetes
asthma
breast cancer
colon cancer
Alzheimer’s disease and other types of dementia
Causes of belly fat
Common Causes Of Excess Belly Fat Include The Following:
1. Poor diet
Sugary food, such as cakes and candy, and drinks, such as soda and fruit juice, can:
cause weight gain
slow a person’s metabolism
reduce a person’s ability to burn fat
Low-protein, high-carb diets may also affect weight. Protein helps a person feel fuller for longer, and people who do not include lean protein in their diet may eat more food overall.
Trans fats, in particular, can cause inflammation and may lead to obesity. Trans fats are in many foods, including fast food and baked goods, for example, muffins or crackers.
The American Heart Association recommend that people replace trans fats with healthful whole-grain foods, monounsaturated fats, and polyunsaturated fats.
Reading food labels can help a person determine whether their food contains trans fats.
2. Too much alcohol
Consuming excess alcohol can cause a variety of health problems, including liver disease and inflammation.
A 2015 report on alcohol consumption and obesity in the journal Current Obesity Reports indicates that drinking excess alcohol causes males to gain weight around their bellies, though study results in females are inconsistent.
3. Lack of exercise
If a person consumes more calories than they burn off, they will put on weight.
An inactive lifestyle makes it hard for a person to get rid of excess fat, particularly around the abdomen.
4. Stress
A steroid hormone known as cortisol helps the body control and deal with stress. When a person is in a dangerous or high-pressure situation, their body releases cortisol, and this can impact on their metabolism.
People often reach for food for comfort when they feel stressed, and cortisol causes the excess calories to remain around the belly and other areas of the body for later use.
5. Genetics
There is some evidence that a person’s genes can play a part in whether or not they become obese. Scientists think genes can influence behavior, metabolism, and the risk of developing obesity-related diseases.
Similarly, environmental factors and behavior also play a role in the likelihood of people becoming obese.
6. Poor sleep
Too little rest can have an impact on well-being.
A study in the Journal of Clinical Sleep Medicine links weight gain to short sleep duration, which could lead to an excess of belly fat.
Both poor quality and short duration of sleep can play a part in the development of abdominal fat.
Not getting enough good sleep may, potentially, lead to unhealthful eating behaviors, such as emotional eating.
7. Smoking
Researchers may not consider smoking to be a direct cause of belly fat, but they do believe it to be a risk factor.
A 2012 study published in the journal PloS one showed that, although obesity was the same between smokers and nonsmokers, smokers had more belly and visceral fat than nonsmokers.
How to lose belly fat
By considering the following changes, people may be able to lose their unwanted belly fat:
1. Improve your diet
A healthful, balanced diet can help a person lose weight, and it is also likely to have a positive effect on their overall health.
People should avoid sugar, fatty foods, and refined carbohydrates that have low nutritional content. Instead, they should eat plenty of fruit and vegetables, lean proteins, and complex carbohydrates.
2. Reduce your alcohol consumption
A person trying to lose excess abdominal fat should monitor their alcohol intake. Alcoholic drinks often contain additional sugar, which can contribute to weight gain.
3. Increase your exercise
A person can lose belly fat by exercising as part of their daily routine.
A sedentary lifestyle brings with it many serious health problems, including weight gain. People trying to lose weight should include a good amount exercise in their daily routine.
Undertaking both aerobic exercise and strength training can help people tackle their belly fat.
Exercise is most effective if people combine both cardiovascular and high-intensity training alongside weights and resistance training.
4. Get more sunlight
A 2016 review in the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health indicates that exposure to sunlight in animals could lead to a reduction in weight gain and metabolic dysfunction.
The review highlights that few studies have looked at the effects of sunlight on humans, in respect of weight gain. It states that more research is required to support the findings so far.
5. Reduce your stress
Stress can cause a person to gain weight. The release of the stress hormone cortisol influences a person’s appetite and could cause them to eat more.
Stress-relieving tactics include mindfulness and meditation, and gentle exercise, such as yoga.
6. Improve your sleep pattern
Sleep is vital to people’s overall health, and too little rest can have a severe impact on well-being.
Sleep’s primary purpose is to allow the body to rest, heal, and recover, but it can also have an impact on a person’s weight.
Getting enough good-quality sleep is essential when a person is trying to shed weight, including belly fat.
7. Quit smoking
Smoking is a risk factor for increased belly fat, as well as many other serious health concerns. Quitting can significantly reduce the risk from excess belly fat, as well as improve overall health.
Takeaway
There is a higher likelihood of various health issues if a person has excess belly fat. Causes include poor diet, lack of exercise, and short or low-quality sleep.
A healthful diet and active lifestyle can help people lose excess belly fat and lower the risk of the problems associated with it.

Dos And Dont's When Choosing A Wedding Gown
~5.4 mins read
The Do's and Don
If you're feeling so much pressure to find the wedding dress of your dreams that you think you may be going nuts, don't worry. We chatted with experts and brides who know exactly how you're feeling, and we asked them to spill their tips for finding the perfect wedding dress. Read on, stress less and spend more time on the rest of your wedding planning to-do list. (Like tasting cake.)
DON'T schedule your wedding dress appointment late in the day.
The early bird gets the worm—er, in this case, the early bride gets an energetic, fresh bridal store staff that hasn't dealt with the concerns of a million clients already. "If you get the first appointment of the morning, the store will likely be less crowded, and you'll get the full attention of your consultant," says Camille McLamb, owner of Chicago-based wedding planning service Camille Victoria Weddings.
DO focus first on finding the best wedding dress silhouette for you.
Details are important—a long row of teensy pearl buttons and a well-placed ruffle or two can mean the difference between a good wedding dress and a great one. But before you start nitpicking the details, "first figure out the silhouette that works best for you," says gown designer Amsale Aberra. "Try not to get caught up in the trend of the moment, but instead focus on your personal style and what flatters you most."
DON'T forget about the top of your wedding dress.
A long, gorgeous wedding dress with a fancy hem is to die for. Just remember that the top of your dress is what people will notice most—and what will show up in most wedding pictures. "The majority of wedding photos that guests take of you are from the waist up," says Margee Higgins, 30. Higgins picked a Lazaro gown with straps and a high belt, both of which you could see in all her photos.
DON'T pick a wedding dress just because it's trendy now.
Trendy wedding dresses won't necessarily stand the test of time—flip through your parents' wedding album for evidence of that. "A gown should be timeless," says Erika Unbehaun, owner of Flutterfly Events, a wedding planning company in London. "When you feel sexy and glamorous in a gown that has both modern and traditional elements, and you feel like a better version of yourself when you're wearing it, you've found your timeless gown. It's something that will never go out of style."
DO bring your camera wedding dress shopping (if the boutique allows it).
Embrace your inner Cher Horowitz (we all have some of the Clueless character in us) and photograph your dress possibilities instead of putting all your trust in the mirror. "Mirrors are used to sell dresses—cameras don't lie," says Richard O'Malley, owner of the O'Malley Project, a company that offers consulting services for event planners. "Because you'll be looking at the photos of this dress for years to come, know how it photographs from all angles. One potential hiccup: Some boutiques don't allow dress photography. Call ahead to see if you can take a few snaps for decision-making purposes only.
DO try on as many wedding dresses as you need to…
According to Nicole Janowicz, celebrity wedding stylist, almost any dress can look gorgeous on a hanger (or it can look terrible). Resist snap judgment. "Once a dress is on a woman's body, it takes on a different shape and look," she says. "This means that a bride will try on many dresses, and she should. I had a celebrity bride try on 27 dresses at a fitting in order to find the perfect reception dress. Just as it takes time to find a husband or wife, it takes time to find the perfect gown."
…but DON'T try on too many wedding dresses.
We're not trying to confuse you here—we just mean that you shouldn't feel forced to try on more or fewer gowns than you want. According to Lacy Pool, a bridal stylist and blogger for Serendipity Bridal, you can suffer wedding dress overload (and total panic) if you feel like you must try on 20 different dresses at each salon you visit. "Too many choices and too many places can add stress and confusion," Pool says. Nine times out of 10, you will go back to your first salon and order your favorite gown anyway, so go with your gut." Pool's tip: Find a bridal salon that carries your top three designers and "gets" your style.
DON'T feel like you must bring an
audience when you try on wedding dresses.
Wedding TV shows make it look like you need to bring every one of your female relatives, your neighbor and your kindergarten teacher with you to help with the dress search. "I felt pressure to bring a group of girlfriends with me," says Breen Halle, 28, from Miami Beach, Fla., who was married in February. "The result was negative. Too many opinions, thoughts and coordination. I found success going to the salon myself and selecting my gown. And I learned it's perfectly normal to go alone—not to mention stress-free."
DO wear a gorgeous bra when you're trying on wedding dresses.
On wedding dress try-on day, you're going to be spending a lot of time in your skivvies. Admiring your pretty new bra between gowns will make you feel much more positive than catching a glimpse of the ratty old gray one you've had for years. Plus, a well-fitting bra can actually help in your search. "Many women don't realize the power of having well-fitted undergarments," says Kpoené Kofi-Nicklin, the owner and designer of Mignonette Bridal. "Go to a department store that has a bra fit specialist, or a lingerie shop, and get fitted for a new bra. You are going to be wearing a gorgeous dress on your wedding day, so there's no excuse for wearing the bra you've had since college underneath."
DON'T freak out about wedding dress sizing.
"I'm a bridal consultant, but even I was alarmed by how big the dresses were when I was trying them on," says Gail Johnson, of Gail Johnson Weddings. "Bridal gowns run two to three sizes larger [than your regular size]. Once you get your head around that, be realistic; pay attention to how it looks, not what the label reads. It took me some time to deal with that myself—I actually cried because of the size!"
DON'T forget that all wedding dress and accessory sales are usually final.
Gulp—no pressure, right? But it's a realistic reminder that you should stay serious in your search for your wedding dress and accessories. "I had an impulse buy of a fun fascinator," says Lori Lenz, 40,."Now I'm realizing it doesn't really work with the rest of the wedding and I should just get a simple veil. Only now, I have a hundred-dollar clip-on hat that I didn't realize was nonreturnable. "
DO ask lots of questions while trying on wedding dresses.
You should ask questions of the boutique owner and staff—but also of yourself. "You should always ask yourself a few questions to make sure the dress you love not only makes you feel spectacular but also works for the activities of the day," says Nicole Brewer, David's Bridal style council member and celebrity stylist. "Make sure you have the answers to these: Do I feel beautiful, confident and comfortable? Can I dance in it? Can I sit down? Am I self-conscious about any part of my body in my dress?" Although a gown may be gorgeous, if you can't move in it all night and feel trapped, mummy-style, it's not the right one for you.
