style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Different bodies store fat differently. A commonplace that almost everyone\u2019s body stores fat is in the lower belly. This is usually influenced by factors like genes, diet, inflammation, and lifestyle choices. Many people usually want to get rid of their belly fat and especially their lower belly fat. First of all, it is a self-confidence crusher as you can\u2019t walk confidently with a big tummy. Secondly, it comes with increased risks of certain diseases, which leads to a lower quality of life. In this read, we shall look at ways on how to lose lower belly fat.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/quiz.betterme.world\/first-page-generated?flow=2228&amp;utm_source=Blog&amp;utm_medium=Blog&amp;utm_campaign=How_To_Lose_Lower_Belly_Fat\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Gif_Blue-1.gif\" alt=\"BetterMe\" width=\"1080\" height=\"1080\" \/><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lower stomach fat is one of the <a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/detox-smoothies-to-shed-belly-weight\/\">hardest fat to lose<\/a> in your body. The reason for this is the fact that the fat cells that gather around your lower abdomen are known as \u2018beta\u2019 fat cells, and they are very hard to change.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although you might want to lose that lower belly fat, it is important to know you cannot target weight loss. This means you can choose to lose weight for a particular body part or organ only. To lose your lower belly fat, you have to lose overall fat and weight all over your body.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Read More:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/yoga-poses-for-weight-loss\/\">Yoga Poses For Weight Loss: Get In Shape And Lose Belly Fat With These Simple Asanas<\/a><\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Types_Of_Belly_Fat\"><\/span><b>Types Of Belly Fat<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When it comes to belly fat, there are two main types. These are subcutaneous belly fat and visceral belly fat.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Subcutaneous belly fat <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">is found<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">just underneath the skin. When people say they want to lose belly fat, this is mostly what they are referring to. It is the visible stomach overhang that can be touched and seen. This particular type of fat is not only found in the stomach. It is also seen in other parts of your body like your buttocks, arms, legs, and so on. It is any fat that you can pinch between your fingers. This is the fat most people see and decide to lose weight for, although this type of fat is not particularly dangerous.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Visceral belly fat<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is located inside your body. Unlike subcutaneous fat, you cannot see it. It usually surrounds most of your internal body organs. This includes your heart, lungs, intestines, liver, and other major organs. This type of fat is very dangerous and is harmful to your body as it pumps substances called cytokines into your bloodstream. These substances cause inflammation and are known to lead to health conditions such as diabetes, colorectal cancer, high blood pressure, cardiovascular diseases, high cholesterol, inflammation throughout your entire body, liver problems, etc.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/quiz.betterme.world\/first-page-generated?flow=2228&amp;utm_source=Blog&amp;utm_medium=Blog&amp;utm_campaign=How_To_Lose_Lower_Belly_Fat\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-31396 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Frame-4365-1024x576.png\" alt=\"how to lose lower belly fat and thigh fat\" width=\"770\" height=\"433\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Frame-4365.png 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Frame-4365-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Frame-4365.png 768w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Frame-4365.png 1152w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 770px) 100vw, 770px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Causes_Of_Lower_Belly_Fat\"><\/span><b>Causes Of Lower Belly Fat<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As mentioned above, there are so many factors that can lead to belly fat, and that love handles you don\u2019t like.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here are some reasons you might be having <a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/belly-fat-workout-at-home\/\">lower belly fat<\/a>:<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"You_Dont_Take_Enough_Fiber\"><\/span><b>You Don\u2019t Take Enough Fiber<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fiber is very important in your diet as it helps you feel full faster and for longer, hence reducing your daily calorie intake (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.healthline.com\/nutrition\/12-causes-of-belly-fat-gain#TOC_TITLE_HDR_5\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">). Fiber also helps stabilize your hunger hormones and reduces the calorie absorption of food. All this helps prevent weight gain and, most importantly, lower belly fat.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"You_Consume_Sugary_Foods_And_Drinks\"><\/span><b>You Consume Sugary Foods And Drinks<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By now, you should know foods with added sugar are not good for your health. Apart from increasing the risk of diabetes, they are also the reason you can\u2019t rock the two-piece bikini. It is hard to resist sugary foods and drinks because they are too sweet. The reason sugary foods cause lower belly fat is from their high fructose content.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A ten-week study was done on overweight and obese people who consumed 25% of their calories as fructose-sweetened beverages (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/19381015\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">5<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">). The study aimed to assess the relative effects of dietary sugars during sustained consumption in human beings. The people experienced a decrease in insulin sensitivity, as well as an increase in belly fat (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/19381015\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">5<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The reason for the increase in belly fat is that taking fructose in high amounts can reduce fat-burning properties in people and your metabolism. Reduced-fat burning properties and metabolism will result in your body not being able to burn most of the calories you consume, and as a result, the extra calories are stored in the stomach leading to <a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/exercises-that-burn-the-most-fat\/\">lower belly fat<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/quiz.betterme.world\/first-page-generated?flow=2228&amp;utm_source=Blog&amp;utm_medium=Blog&amp;utm_campaign=How_To_Lose_Lower_Belly_Fat\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-32564 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/9-4-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"how to lose lower belly fat and thigh fat\" width=\"770\" height=\"433\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/9-4.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/9-4-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/9-4.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/9-4-1636x920.jpg 1636w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/9-4.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 770px) 100vw, 770px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"You_Consume_A_Lot_Of_Trans_Fat\"><\/span><b>You Consume A Lot Of Trans Fat<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Trans fats are fats that are usually created by adding hydrogen to unsaturated fats to make the fats more stable (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.menshealth.com\/uk\/weight-loss\/a759282\/how-to-get-rid-of-belly-fat\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">7<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">). They are usually used on packaged foods so that they can extend how long the foods can last without going bad. Trans fats are quite unhealthy and are known to cause inflammation that leads to a big lower belly. It also increases the risk of getting other conditions such as insulin resistance, cardiovascular diseases, and many other health conditions.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"You_Are_Too_Stressed\"><\/span><b>You Are Too Stressed<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Stress is a common feature of our lives. There are so many things that can stress us out. Work, school, relationships, and finances are all examples of things that can make us feel wired. When you are stressed, your body produces a hormone known as cortisol (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.menshealth.com\/uk\/weight-loss\/a759282\/how-to-get-rid-of-belly-fat\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">7<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">). This hormone helps your body to respond to stress. When it is produced in large amounts, it can lead to weight gain. This is because when most people are stressed, they tend to overeat. Instead of the excess calories being stored throughout the entire body as fat, cortisol promotes fat storage in the belly.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"You_Do_Not_Exercise\"><\/span><b>You Do Not Exercise<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To live a healthy life, you have to eat well, avoid <a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/can-stress-cause-weight-loss-even-when-eating\/\">stress<\/a>, sleep enough, and exercise. Exercise is an important part of people\u2019s lives. Not so many people exercise, especially in this generation where everything is at the click of a button. Hence, people don\u2019t exercise and are also inactive.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lack of exercise leads to people gaining extra weight as they do not burn all the calories they are taking in (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.healthline.com\/nutrition\/12-causes-of-belly-fat-gain#TOC_TITLE_HDR_5\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).

High protein intake is key when it comes to preventing weight gain. Proteins make you feel fuller and more satisfied for longer, thus, helps reduce your daily calorie intake (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.healthline.com\/nutrition\/12-causes-of-belly-fat-gain#TOC_TITLE_HDR_5\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">). Proteins also increase your metabolic rate, and in the long run, cause a reduction in your calorie intake. When your diet has less protein, you are more likely to gain weight and most importantly belly fat compared to a person whose diet has lots of proteins. In addition to this, when you have high levels of a hormone known as a neuropeptide, you have more appetite, which in the long run leads to gaining belly fat. This hormone increases when your protein intake is low.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"You_Drink_Too_Much_Alcohol\"><\/span><b>You Drink Too Much Alcohol<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Alcohol is drunk in all parts of the world, and it is actually not a bad thing when taken in moderation. When you take alcohol in high amounts, it increases the risk of inflammation, liver disease, and other health conditions. Belly fat is not referred to as a beer belly for no reason. Alcohol is known to suppress fat burning in our bodies. In addition to that, the excess calories from alcohol are usually partly stored as belly fat (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.menshealth.com\/uk\/weight-loss\/a759282\/how-to-get-rid-of-belly-fat\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">7<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Men who consume more than three drinks in a single day have an eighty percent more likelihood of growing a beer belly than men who consume less alcohol. If you drink too much alcohol, a good way of dealing with your love handles might be by reducing your consumption of this beverage.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/store.betterme.world\/?utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=How_To_Lose_Lower_Belly_Fat\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-41519 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/ezgif-1-10ae84de74.gif\" alt=\"BetterMe\" width=\"770\" height=\"432\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Your_Genes\"><\/span><b>Your Genes<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your genes have a say in whether you are likely to have love handles or not.

To lose weight, you need to burn more calories than you consume (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.healthline.com\/nutrition\/20-tips-to-lose-belly-fat\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">4<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">). This leads to a calorie deficit, which results in weight loss. Even though you might be in a hurry to lose lower belly fat, it is recommended you reduce your calorie intake by about 500 calories a day. This will lead to you losing 1 to 2 pounds in a week, which is the recommended rate of weight loss.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Sleep\"><\/span><b>Sleep<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Just as mentioned earlier, sleep is important when it comes to <a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/coffee-weight-loss\/\">weight management<\/a>.

Alcohol can prevent weight loss in many different ways. One way is in that heavy alcohol drinking can stimulate food intake (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.prevention.com\/weight-loss\/a20458064\/new-research-on-how-to-lose-belly-fat\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">). This results in taking in more calories than your body burn and hence resulting in weight gain.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Drinking a lot of alcohol can also overload the liver whereby the liver prioritizes processing the alcohol over the foods and thus results in the body storing those unprocessed foods as fat (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.prevention.com\/weight-loss\/a20458064\/new-research-on-how-to-lose-belly-fat\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another way alcohol can cause weight gain is from the fact that alcohol does contain calories (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.prevention.com\/weight-loss\/a20458064\/new-research-on-how-to-lose-belly-fat\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">). Those calories added to your daily intake of calories will result in you taking more calories than your burning can burn hence weight gain.
