How to Get Rid of Belly Fat

April 5, 2022

The best way to eliminate stubborn fat in the stomach is not with “spot reduction” exercises. It is also not from just switching up your diet. While both exercise and healthy lifestyle changes are good for the body, they are not always enough to eliminate pesky belly bulges.

Read on to learn how to get rid of belly fat with the popular non-invasive body contouring treatment, CoolSculpting.

What Causes Belly Fat to Accumulate?

Belly fat is one of the most problematic bulges to reduce. It often resists diet and exercise efforts. Understanding belly fat helps to know what causes the bulges to cling to the abdomen.
Hormones: Male and female hormones play a large part in where fat accumulates. For example, estrogen directs fat in the hips and thighs in women. This buildup is to prepare the female body for pregnancy and breastfeeding.

Gender: Men have low estrogen levels. Their hormones direct fat to gather in specific places in the body. For most men, fat accumulates in the upper part of the body in the belly or chest. Moobs are a common problem for men struggling with chest fat.

Age: People tend to store fat in the belly as they age. Hormone levels dip as the body ages. For men, an age-related decrease in testosterone causes weight gain in the stomach region.

Why is Belly Fat Hard to Lose?

Not all fat cells are the same. In fact, there are two types: Alpha-2 and Beta-2. Fat cells with more Alpha-2 receptors store fat long-term. They are responsible for what we know as stubborn fat. Fat cells with more Beta-2 receptors break down when the body needs energy. For most people, belly bulges are due to an excess of Alpha-2 receptors. Therefore, the body is resistant to releasing the fat. It resists diet and exercise. If diets and exercise are not doing the trick for removing belly fat, a non-invasive treatment, such as CoolSculpting, may be right for you.

How to Get Rid of Belly Fat Using CoolSculpting

If you want to lose resistant belly fat and avoid surgical procedures, there is a non-invasive solution. CoolSculpting is the perfect way to reduce belly fat using cooling technology. Treatments are virtually painless, non-surgical, and require minimal downtime. CoolSculpting stomach treatments eliminate fat by exposing the cells to extreme cold temperatures. The cooling renders the fat cells useless, causing them to die and then process out of the body.
