Acne Scars

Most common causes of stomach fat include: 

• Genetic factors and metabolism that increase hunger and reduce satiety,
• Medications that increase appetite,
• Diets with excessive calories, carbohydrates or fats (depending on your body type),
• Consuming too much alcohol
• Lack of exercise

Having a good diet and drinking less alcohol can help you reduce belly fat. For example, eating soluble fiber promotes weight loss by helping you feel full. You can also consume foods that are high in fiber every day, such as:

• Dietary and exercise changes
• Flax seeds
• Legumes
• Blackberries
• Brussels sprouts

Additionally, eating a high protein diet also helps. As high protein intakes increase the release of the fullness hormone PYY. Foods with a good source of protein include items such as eggs, fish, whey protein, and beans.

At times, a complete medical assessment may be necessary to thoroughly understand your health and past medical history to determine your best options. We also recommend:

• Dietary and exercise changes, and 
• Medical consultation to look for hormonal changes or other causes
