  You Have... The Stress Belly Type

  Image Source

  This is a sagging type of belly where the weight has slumped down into the lower belly and hips. This type of belly is caused directly by cortisol, the stress hormone. When you have a great deal of long term stress, your body increases the production of Cortisol to cope with it.Unfortunately, high cortisol leads to the accumulation of fat around the belly and waist area. If your stomach looks like it’s slumping down and you are under a lot of stress it’s probable that you have an adrenal or stress based belly.The key to losing weight with this belly type is to reduce the impact of stress on your adrenal glands and cortisol levels. This can be achieved with simple diet and lifestyle changes.

  You Have... The Thyroid Belly Type

  This belly type is less of a belly and more of an overall accumulation of fat. The weight tends to be all over and not just in the belly. You may have heavy legs and thighs as well as larger arms. It’s caused by a hormone imbalance, specifically with the thyroid hormone. Too much oestrogen can also play into this problem as hormones are all delicately interconnected.The thyroid is a very delicate organ that can often start to play up at certain times of a woman life.It is very common for Thyroid problems to start around Menopause. It’s also common to develop Thyroid problems around pregnancy too for many women. The key to losing this belly type is to dig deep to get to the root of the problem and fix it. Once you have fixed your hormones you will be able to lose weight.
