I weigh about 155 lbs, 5'8" tall, and I am generally happy with my weight. For reference, I have been on HRT for over two years.
I have a "third boob" - my stomach bulge - that is annoying and affects my clothing choices. I know I need to watch my meal portions, and my posture could do with some improvement. Even sucking my gut in, the bulge is still there.
Any tips for getting rid of it? I can't afford to lose anything from my actual boobs. They are small enough (A cup) already.
Hey Kathy,
A couple of things. Your posture looks very good in your profile pictures, but I find if I'm hunched over it makes my stomach stick out more.
I would also suggest a low carb high fat diet. Make sure it's good fats like coconut oil, olive oil, avocados, butter, lard. Stay away from seed oils. Giving up bread was the hardest for me. I only ate long fermented sourdough but when I recently gave that up, it's been rather remarkable, my stomach is really starting to flatten out.
Also make sure you get lots of fiber in your diet. Gut health is really important and you need to nourish the good bacteria in your gut.
Be very careful with sit-ups. The idea is they strengthen your core but they can actually hurt your back. There are much better ways to strengthen your core but that doesn't get rid of visceral fat. Exercise is extremely important for health but your diet is much more important to fat build up.
Good luck,
Paige
