“Hi Bill, It has been a while since I have worked with you and I really miss our workouts together. At that time I truly never felt and looked better! Now since not working with you I have put on a few pounds. Can you give me any suggestions what I can do to help jump-start eating habits to lose these few extra pounds? Thanks very much.”

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.

Where we store fat (surplus calories or surplus sugar) is largely a combination of gender, age and genetic inheritance. Men tend to store fat around their middle (apple shape), whereas women typically store fat around the pelvic region, hips, butt and thighs (pear shape).
