banderas Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 I tried cutting down on food for a few months now and I've lost a few inches from my tummy and I've noticably lost weight as well, but there is still the problem with the abs (or lack thereof) I've tried to cut down on colas as well but I've been drinking lots of coke light lately, does that make your tummy bulge even if it has 0 calories?

webmaster_ph Posted August 26, 2005 Share Posted August 26, 2005 I've been kind of curious about beer-bellies. Does beer really make your tummy big or is it just a myth? Quote Link to comment
popoygrandmaster Posted August 26, 2005 Share Posted August 26, 2005 ok lang mag beer as long as hindi sobra Quote Link to comment

devonfire21 Posted August 26, 2005 Share Posted August 26, 2005 Lack of sleep and stress may also contribute in the accumulation of visceral (or abdominal) fat. It has something to do with a pronounced increase in cortisol levels. Cortisol is a steroid hormone made in the adrenal glands, which are small glands adjacent to the kidneys. Among its important functions in the body include roles in the regulation of blood pressure and cardiovascular function as well as regulation of the body's use of proteins, carbohydrates, and fats. Cortisol secretion increases in response to any stress in the body, whether physical (such as illness, trauma, surgery, or temperature extremes) or psychological. When cortisol is secreted, it causes a breakdown of muscle protein, leading to release of amino acids (the "building blocks" of protein) into the bloodstream. These amino acids are then used by the liver to synthesize glucose for energy, in a process called gluconeogenesis. This process raises the blood sugar level so the brain will have more glucose for energy. At the same time the other tissues of the body decrease their use of glucose as fuel. Cortisol also leads to the release of so-called fatty acids, an energy source from fat cells, for use by the muscles. Taken together, these energy-directing processes prepare the individual to deal with stressors and ensure that the brain receives adequate energy sources. Excessive levels of cortisol have been found to promote overeating while blunting the normal rise in your metabolic rate that occurs after a meal. Alcohol intoxication (sufficient to cause a hangover) has also been shown to raise cortisol levels. A cortisol excess can also lead to a decrease in insulin sensitivity. Cortisol also reduces the utilization of amino acids for protein formation in muscle cells. A cortisol excess can lead to a progressive loss of protein, muscle weakness and atrophy, and loss of bone mass through increased calcium excretion and less calcium absorption. That is one of the reasons long-distance runners tend to have skinny physiques. With the amount of stress that runners place on their bodies, they have high levels of free radicals as well as cortisol. Excess cortisol can also adversely affect tendon health. Cortisol causes a redistribution of bodyfat to occur through an unknown mechanism. Basically, the extremities lose fat and muscle while the trunk and face become fatter. Some of the signs of overtraining include higher cortisol levels, which may cause depression-type effects. Cortisol excess can also lead to hypertension because it causes sodium retention (which can make you appear bloated) and potassium excretion Getting enough sleep and managing stress properly can help keep cortisol levels in check. The same thing goes for regulating your alcohol intake. Those who exercise may also wish to avoid overtraining (an increase in training volume and/or intensity of exercise leading to a decrease in performance), as the corresponding increase in cortisol levels will undermine their efforts.<{POST_SNAPBACK}> ...in conclusion night job which causes severe sleep deprivation is a major factor in bulging bellies...

sliderule Posted August 27, 2005 Share Posted August 27, 2005 Get a lot of aerobic exercise, brisk walking, jogging, badminton...anything that induces sweat and makes you breathe harder, at least 45 minutes a day...and of course, a reasonable diet. Beer is a big culprit, take in moderation. I'm not an expert, but it worked for me. Quote Link to comment

archon Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 ...in conclusion night job which causes severe sleep deprivation is a major factor in bulging bellies...<{POST_SNAPBACK}>We need to manage our sleep when taking the night shift on a prolonged basis. Otherwise, a sleeping disorder will result in raised cortisol levels, and consequently, a redistribution of fat in our midsection. The results are cumulative, so it will take some time before the symptoms manifest themselves. Quote Link to comment

Google Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 i've read an article somewhere and as confirmed by my trainor friends that while doing cardio, you should only do the 60% of your heartrate for your body to burn fat. if you are doing cardios at the 80% level, you are burning calories, but what you are burning comes not from fat but from the carbohydrates stored in your body. the only problem with the recommended 60% is that you have to do this at least 30 to 45 minutes per session, at least thrice a week, and you should have a heart monitor in place. to compute for the heart rate: 220 - age * 60%.
