Abdominal fat afflicts many people, regardless of age, sex and, often, even lifestyle. The amount of fat that is deposited on the abdominal area varies from person to person, and depends on entirely personal causes.

However, if it is true that a genetic predisposition can determine a more or less marked presence of fat in this area of ​​the body, rather than in other areas, it is equally true that the lifestyle greatly affects abdominal fat .

Hormonal variations, constitutional predisposition, diseases, lifestyle, and therefore nutrition and amount of movement that is exercised, stress but also the arrival of early menopause (Source: Nature): all these are causes of localization of fat in the abdominal area.

Abdominal fat does not settle in one night: one does not suddenly wake up with bacon, at least not that due to fat. Abdominal fat is the result of incorrect behavior and lifestyle habits that lasted over time . It is therefore unrealistic to think of being able to eliminate abdominal fat in short periods, and without acting on a wide range of factors.
