Lose That Belly Fat

Drink Green Tea

Gain More Muscle

"A healthy man's body is made up of about 40 percent muscle; 32 percent muscle makes up a healthy woman's body. This 32 percent to 40 percent of the body performs 98 percent of the fat metabolism." - Covert Bailey

Minimize Stress

Some health studies show that abdominal fat can develop as a result of stress. This is because the hormone cortisol is released during stress, and a high level of cortisol in the body appears to stimulate the storage of fat around the belly and abdomen. Researchers at Yale University studied 60 women and found that the more stress they were under, the more fat they stored around their stomachs. So it appears that a fat belly is most likely to develop in stressed men of any age, and older stressed women. http://www.annecollins.com/how-to-reduce-a-fat-belly.htm
