Lose the Pooch Belly
Pooch belly. Baby belly. Fat roll. What do you call that residual flab left on your lower stomach since you had babies? I call it annoying, frustrating and just plain ugly. I’ve been doing some research on what makes that “pooch” so difficult to get rid of and what can be done about it. Here’s what I’ve found:
Visceroptosis - A rare, but possible condition where internal organs have been displaced by poor posture and pregnancy. Strengthening your inner unit muscles can help alleviate this.
Bloating - Food intolerences and diet can cause bloating of your intestines and make your stomach look extended. Changes in your diet can help alleviate this.
Body Fat - The obvious primary cause. The cure? Burn the fat!
Excess Skin - Even after weight loss, excess skin can hang around. Especially when you’re… um… older. I haven’t read any realistic solution to this problem except surgery. Please comment if you are aware of a better solution!
Muscle Weakness - Most women make the mistake of only exercising their outer abdominal muscles by doing crunches and sit-ups. If you want to flatten your lower abs, you need to strengthen the inner unit muscles (transverse abdominis, multifidus, pelvic floor and diaphragm).

I’m 16 years old. I have excess belly fat even though I’m a size 5 due to my belly looking as if I’m pregnant. I’m not pregnant. Last year in this same month I was wearing a size 2 in clothing. I remain thin except for my belly. My eating habits remain the same which include non fat everything, low carbs or calories, and I drink plenty of clear fluids. I joined the body sculpting team in school and doesn’t seem to benefit this stomach growing condition. There are days were my belly is less obvious than others and I feel as if I were to be more pregnant than an actual pregnant person. Please help. Thank you.

Nora, I would recommend seeing your doctor. Make sure there is no underlying health condition causing this problem. If he says the issue is due to poor muscle tone or excess fat, please come back and consider purchasing one of the ebooks shown above.
