How to get rid of stomach fat: Understanding the problem

Stomach fat is just like any other fat in your body. It accumulates as a result of the lifestyle choices that you make that lead to consuming more calories than you burn off with exercise. Your body converts any access energy or calories that you eat into fat as a way of storing the energy for later.

This is your bodies way of helping you to survive when you're never quite sure when the next meal is coming from. It's a mechanism that's more suited to the lifestyle that your ancestors might have lead several thousand years ago when they had to hunt for food. If you regularly consume more calories than you need then you will create more and more stomach fat and fat in other places and you'll carry it around with you forever. Not a pleasant thought.
