Try olive oil. It has some components that suppress ghrelin, the hormone responsible for hunger. Don't ignore drinking the recommended 8 glasses of water which is essential for metabolism to burn fat. The more water you uptake, the more is removed preventing the bloated look.
About 5 months ago, my belly looks although I don't have abs to show. But then a bulge started to appear. And now after the holidays, it seems like I have a beer belly. I drink only soda ever since and I have no changes in my activities and diet. In fact, my weight remains the same. Any ideas why my belly is sagging? I'm a man of 63 years.
You are drinking soda? So that's the answer to your question, stop the soda and your belly will return to normal.

I actually suspect the soda. However, I had been drinking soda regularly for many years and my belly was okay until the last few months that I had cited where it has a sagging part already. But anyway, I am trying my best to wean myself from soda. It's now fruit juice for me. Thanks again for your opinion.
No problem, glad if I can help. You are 63, so the body starts to give in. I felt differences when I turned 35, I felt like I started getting older haha.
Sorry, I double-posted. Screen froze on me so I clicked it twice.
I love diet soda (diet cokes from 7-Eleven/Big Gulps) - it's my one weakness that I've loved since the age of 16. I find it so hard to give them up, so I just don't. For about a month, I started drinking coffee again to help me wake up instead of the diet coke, but then I found out the coffee creamer I was adding had 20 total net carbs, so I just went back to the diet coke. Either way, I do what I like to call a "lazy girl" ab workout in bed, sit-ups with my legs straight out just resting on the bed, and then leg raises while I hold the back of the bed post for support. I never really cared about showing ab muscles, but I do know what you're talking about with that "beer gut" appearance....the quick ab routine I do seems to control that. But whenever I start adding more sugar/carbs into my diet, the infamous beer gut returns. My stomach stays flat as long as I keep it low-to-moderate carb, and by that I mean 50-100 per day. Not bad, and not too difficult either. [QUOTE=Alexandoy;3222494] Originally Posted by to7update You are drinking soda?

For me, it's crunching. Nothing burns belly fat faster than crunches. For me, it's the best fat-burning exercises. When we talk about losing weight, many of us focus on getting a toned, flat stomach first. There are also few key exercises you can incorporate into your workout routine that are effective at burning fat from the belly and the rest of your body like running and walking. Some good examples of this are Walking, Jogging, Swimming, Aerobics, and Bicycling. Exercise is going to be a lot of hard work. And you have to be consistent for you to see the results.

As you said it, you have to be consistent. Maybe that is now my motto because whenever I would miss the morning exercise, I could feel my tummy growing. It may be psychological but it's better to be safe than sorry. Yeah, it's a lot of hard work but older people like me need more exercise especially when the lifestyle is sedentary as being in front of the computer most of the time. By the way, I am now doing 30 push ups plus the hand grip exercises.
I have to agree doing crunches is effective more so if you create a set with, situps, jumping jacks, laterals and Running/Jogging, this is one of the best sets of exercises that helps people lose belly fat its good for both men and women. Swimming is also good, its like running or jogging it gives your body a full workout.
The normal workout drills for removing belly fat in women is almost the same way as what men do in order to develop their abs. Try engaging in crunches, sit ups, wall sit drill, squats, jogging and yoga. It's not a must that you are going to do all of these drills, just do the ones that you can and be consistent with it.
Try to stay away from sugar, because when you eat added sugar, the liver gets overloaded with fructose, and is forced to turn it into fat. Exercise is very good at reducing belly fat, but doing endless amounts of belly exercises will not help(spot reduction), stick with running, swimming, and walking, which is more effective.

Exactly, I completely agree with you on these tips that you have just mentioned here. They are spot on when it comes to being very accurate in helping women lose belly fat.
Locally, fat from the abdomen is not removed, this is human physics. It is necessary to concentrate on a smaller calorie in food. Low-carb diet + drink more water + cardio exercises - all this will do the trick.
It looks like a good adherence to diet is the best advice. I recently bought a "sweat belt" that is supposed to help in tapering the bulging tummy. It is a wide belt made of rubber and produces sweat when worn. But the label said that you have to do physical activity for it to work. It's still under observation although the sweat is there and it is effective with the sweating. I just don't know if it burns belly fat.

Eat 5-6 times a day in small portions and do 5-10 sets every day - the "Vacuum" exercise. This will make your stomach smaller which will well affect the overall shape of the abdomen.

So, when you eat in a wrong pattern, it's definitely going to affect the individual in a very bad manner.
