When it comes to losing weight, the last few kilos can often be the hardest to kick – especially from that infamously stubborn area around the tum. If you’re wondering why that is and what you can do about it, don’t worry, because we’ve found some answers!
“There are a number of reasons why you may be gaining weight in your stomach and why you may be struggling to lose it,” says Ben Lucas, celebrity trainer and director of Flow Athletic (flowathletic.com.au).
YOU’RE STRESSED
When we’re stressed, our bodies release the hormone cortisol. While we need cortisol for a number of functions, an overload can lead to tiredness, indigestion, bloating and weight gain around the middle.
“If you are highly stressed, be mindful of the types of training you are doing, as some activities will add more stress to your body, which is something that you don’t want,” Ben says.
