Belly Fat

I had the same problem and then I stopped drinking diet soda and it went away. I believe the aspertame in the soda can cause belly bloat. Are you drinking diet soda or anything with alot of aspertame?

I don't have a lot of weight to lose and I work out fairly regularly, however, I have this layer of fat around my lower belly that I just cannot get rid of no matter what I do. I have been at it for a long time. It's flab. I can grab it with both hands. Any ideas of how to firm it up? Please help. I hate it!!!

I'm 48 and have lost a few pounds and although I have noticed a difference in my lower belly, it's been gradual. It stinks that we lose it in our face/chest first! I'd like to lose another 10 pounds but have my fingers crossed that it will come off the belly! Feels like we are fighting a battle with our hormones, wanting to store fat there! I've started running more (about 2-3 miles a day) and I think it's helping. Good Luck!!

Good to know. I've cut way back on regular soda because of this but didn't know it also applies to diet sodas as well...Thanks
